Stockfish seems to store the data and build up the depth as games are passed through it. |

| Apr-29-20 | | Big Pawn: <diceman>, that is interesting. AlphaZero was using the French for a while in its match with Stockfish. It wasn't using an opening book or being forced into it. It just found it and used it, but eventually it abandoned it as it "learned" more by playing more games. |

| Apr-30-20 | | diceman: Homeschooling, not enough indoctrination:
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/... <At Harvard Magazine, O’Donnell interviewed Bartholet in a piece titled “The Risks of Homeschooling,’ which is accompanied by an illustration that features a homeschooled child behind bars in a house while other children are playing freely outside. One wall of the house is composed of a stack of books labeled, “Reading,” “Writing,” “Arithmetic,” and the “Bible.”> <One of Bartholet’s main fears of homeschooling appears to be Christianity.> Bible/Christianity there's the problem! |
|
| May-01-20 | | Big Pawn: <diceman>, Christianity is the main problem for the libs. They don't want homeschooling to interfere with their atheist indoctrination. Otherwise they won't be able to erode the morality of our young. |

Dingoes never get near a kangaroo. Thousands of years have taught them to keep away from boomers, especially near a billabong, because the kangaroo will grab it around the head like that and drown it. But those stupid pig-dogs don't have sense. They chase the roo into the water and get drowned. Luckily for that dog there was no billabong nearby. That bloke who stood up the boomer was foolhardy. One kick and he could have got his guts ripped out. If those two dogs weren't hanging around, the kangaroo would definitely have stood his ground and got the better of that idiot. |

| May-06-20 | | technical draw: Atheism is strange. If an atheist says "I don't believe in God, ask him what exactly does he mean when he says "God". Watch as he turns into a pretzel. If he says God is imaginary ask him what exactly is he imagining when he says "God". An atheist has to construct an image of God and then say that image that he just constructed doesn't exist. So how can you imagine and construct a God that doesn't exist. And if he says he doesn't believe in the God that YOU constructed just say, "I never constructed a God, you did." He should retire to try again later. |

When we retire we stop working.
(or put another way, stop doing what we were doing) Does an atheist believe in God when he retires? :) |

| May-07-20 | | thegoodanarchist: I want to take a minute to tell you I really appreciated this post: Kenneth S Rogoff (kibitz #427339) More than any other post I've ever read on cg.com, and I've been a member nearly 2 decades now. Let's break it down:
<Big Pawn: To Whom it May Concern: > That would be me.
<The Gospel given to the gentiles by Christ through the apostle Paul was the foundation of the churches Paul established. Right from the very beginning, those churches were corrupted by judaizers who came to the churches once Paul left> I never knew exactly who Paul was talking about when he wrote those letters about who was corrupting the churches. I never heard this preached in church. And I have been to A LOT of church services. (Probably over 14,000 in my life.) Not only that, I've listened to literally thousands more, on TV or Radio or recorded media. Moving on...
<...Look at the letters Paul wrote to the churches! Paul's message to the gentiles from Christ was the gospel of grace. Christs' message to the children of Israel through the apostles was of the covenant, the law and he, Jesus, being the promised Messiah.These are two different gospels. >
Two different gospels? I think I have a vague recollection of a Jew who converted to Christianity, and did a radio show decades ago, saying something similar to this, but at the time it didn't really register. It didn't settle in my mind and provoke me to think. <It is for this reason that Paul had to meet with Peter and James. In the end, Peter, James and the apostles agreed that Paul's gospel was from Christ himself and that he, Paul, should go to the gentiles (at first, the apostles were commissioned to go to all the world with their gospel) and preach the gospel of grace, and they would now preach their gospel, a gospel of both faith and works, to the Jews.Therefore, it is not enough to say, "The NT says..." because there are different writers and different intended audiences and two different gospels for two distinct people groups, the Jew and non-Jews. When James says, "Faith without works is dead" he is speaking to the Jews, as agreed. It is a gospel of the law and Christ, the promised Messiah. One had to believe Christ came as the Messiah <and> follow the law. It is Israel's covenant. The gospel to the gentiles is a much lighter burden. In fact, it's no burden at all. It is simply to believe that Christ was killed, buried and rose again, atoning for your sins. > When I read this a week ago, it got my attention. I've never heard anyone explain it this way before. So we get to the very point of my post: Do you have any sources, any books, any websites, where this idea is explored, and expounded, and references & research are cited?? This is a monumental point, and oddly, a point that is practically ignored by a tremendously large percentage of preachers! I want to study this subject in depth, but I am at a loss of where to start. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. |

More than any other post I've ever read on cg.com, and I've been a member nearly 2 decades now.> Thank you kindly. <Optimal Play> ridiculed me and this post, so I am glad it was beneficial to you. I highly recommend The Plot by Bob Enyart. It's the most amazing book on Christianity and how to read the bible that I've ever seen. https://store.kgov.com/the-plot-boo... That's for reading and I highly recommend it no matter what, but for listening, you can't beat Les Feldick. <Galations Teaching on the Two Gospels> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Ax... <Through the Bible with Les Feldick Comparing Kingdom and Grace Doctrines: I John 1> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U4t...
I think Les Feldick is the best bible study teacher I've ever heard and, like you, I have listened to many. I highly recommend subscribing to his youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCV... and exploring it a bit. Most videos are 28 minutes long and were recorded back in the 90s. Some vids are much longer because they were taken at special conferences that he spoke at. I have a feeling that you would probably get the most out of this, after checking out the vids above, by starting in Acts and then going through Paul's epistles, and then the four gospels and then exploring the Old Testament. Enjoy! |

Thank you kindly. <Optimal Play> ridiculed me and this post, so I am glad it was beneficial to you. > Well, what can you expect from a Papist? ;)
I watched the first Les Feldick video today. He is right that the Church hasn't been understanding that there are 2 gospels, for nearly 2 millennia. I sure never did, until now. Anyway, it clears up many of the apparent contradictions in the NT. Never has such an important issue received such little attention and understanding in Christendom. Well, OK, that's quite a claim. But it seems true in my lifetime. |

| May-10-20 | | Big Pawn: <tga: Well, what can you expect from a Papist? ;)> I had to show <optimal play> that praying to dead people (he's says it's not praying but even communicating in any way with the dead is prohibited) is not biblical and that God prohibits it. He wasn't aware of it. Catholics are like libs in a way, when it comes to Christianity. They hate the real Christianity and love the religious legalism instead, which is man's legalism. For Catholics, Christ's sacrifice on the cross is not enough. They have to add their works in order to earn salvation, and Christ alone isn't enough, they have to pray to Mary to talk to Jesus on their behalf. Catholics do not rightly divide the word of God, so they don't understand the bible. <I watched the first Les Feldick video today. He is right that the Church hasn't been understanding that there are 2 gospels, for nearly 2 millennia. I sure never did, until now.Anyway, it clears up many of the apparent contradictions in the NT.> The Plot really does an outstanding job laying it all out on paper. I think you'd really appreciate it. <Never has such an important issue received such little attention and understanding in Christendom. Well, OK, that's quite a claim. But it seems true in my lifetime.> There's been a tremendous increase in knowledge in all areas of understanding over the last 150 years. If you teleported a man from the time of Jesus and dropped him into the middle of the wild west in 1850, it wouldn't have been a total culture shock (although he may have been amazed by the sight of a train). But since the late 1800s, there's been an amazing increase in knowledge that has totally changed human existence such that a person from Jesus' time would suffer severe culture shock if he were dropped into the 21st century. But it doesn't end there. Knowledge of the God's word has also increased. Knowledge is being revealed to man not just in the area of technology but also scripture. You are right in that very few have this understanding but that is the way it is supposed to be. Wide is the path to destruction and only a few will choose the right path. A few is not the billions and billions of Catholics who are alive now and who have come before us. |

| May-13-20 | | Big Pawn: <tga>, that's a great interview and I've shared it both here on my personal forum and on Rogoff. The comments in the thread are good too. |
|
| May-13-20 | | thegoodanarchist: I found the first chapter of Enyart's book on line. I also found this critique of his book from 20 years ago that is still available: http://www.biblestudiesonline.info/... Leaving it here just in case you're interested. |
|
| May-13-20 | | Big Pawn: Thanks for the link. I've been to it before and read the critique. I have the book, first purchased about 20 years ago. Best book I have read on the bible, hands down. Let me know what you think after you've read it. I feel confident that you will greatly appreciate it. |

| May-14-20 | | thegoodanarchist: Well, amazon doesn't have it in stock right now, and he charges $45 for it on his website. So I will see if my local library has a copy. It's a huge library - they probably do. I am reluctant to pay $45 for a book. |

He says that you can pay whatever you have, even if it's nothing, and they will send it to you. I paid full price for it because I am very familiar with his work, his ministry and I highly value it, but for you, you can get it for free. |

| May-18-20 | | Big Pawn: Part 1
Some interesting conspiracy reading on Satanism, culture and how the JOOZ are behind it. Some people think that if you're car has a flat tire, a Jew did it. All the same, this is interesting reading. <Smoke and mirrors surround Satanism. Many Satanists don't understand its toxic nature. Satanism is war against God, i.e. the Moral and natural order. It is anti-life. It is not a religion. Religion is discerning & obeying God's will. Satanism is an anti-religion. Its god is Death.Revelation 12:9 "....that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world." "When we introduced into the State organism the poison of liberalism its whole political complexion underwent a change. States have been seized with a mortal illness--blood poisoning. All that remains is to await the end of their death agony." (Protocols of Zion, 9) "In order that the true meaning of things may not strike the goyim before the proper time, we shall mask it under the alleged ardent desire to serve the working classes..." (Protocols of Zion, 6) by Henry Makow PhD
1. They call themselves "progressives." Satanists invert everything. They champion inverts and everything sick and dysfunctional. They are actually "regressives." Despite their moral pretensions,"progress" for them is the degradation and destruction of their fellow man. God is Perfection in all things. They invert all things: Sickness is health; ugly is beautiful, false is true, injustice is justice, hate is love, misery is bliss, and vice versa. 2. Man is connected to God through his soul. Take away God and man flounders about like a fish out of water. Looking to fill the void, he idealizes anything because his God connection has been severed. Take away God, and man will create false Gods, Carl Jung said. See the absurd idealization of women, sex and romance; literature and art; "great men," politicians, celebrities, etc. Because of his hunger for God, you can sell him anything as a substitute. He imagines he's getting God. 3. We were programmed by God. True religion simply is following the program. God is the program. Satanists are trying to deprogram us. (For example, we are being forced to unlearn heterosexuality.) Why? Money and power as usual. One per cent has over 50% of the wealth and they want it all. Do you think God-fearing people and governments would allow that to happen? They want you to obey them, not God.> |
