With a Reformed prompt, ChatGPT produces amazing theology

No worries.

For the record: Everybody does hypotheticals. Every time the word "if" is being used a predicate condition or hypothetical is being asserted. It's a function of language, not the individual.

If a person drives a red car then s/he may pay more in automobile insurance (because red cars get more tickets*).
If a person lives in Florida, then s/he will pay more in home insurance than those in Virginia (because of the hurricanes).





* This first example would be an example of a hypothetical that is incorrect, and the second example is one that is true.

I do hypotheticals, I've just never done them using Scriptural concepts.

I don't suppose I was expecting it.

I do hypotheticals, I've just never done them using Scriptural concepts.

I don't suppose I was expecting it.

Here's an example of reasoning from a predicate condition and the use of the hypothetical "if" from scripture:

1 Corinthians 15:12-19
Now if Christ is preached, that he has been raised from the dead, how do some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead? But if there is no resurrection of the dead, not even Christ has been raised; and if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is vain, your faith also is vain. Moreover, we are even found to be false witnesses of God, because we testified against God that He raised Christ, whom He did not raise, if in fact the dead are not raised. For if the dead are not raised, not even Christ has been raised; and if Christ has not been raised, your faith is worthless; you are still in your sins. Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. If we have hoped in Christ in this life only, we are of all men most to be pitied.


It's not possible to affirm any of that if none of it has been heard. Blessedly, the gospel has been preached, Christ has been raised , our faith is not worthless, and we do not remain dead in sin. Praise God!
