# Theology Question-Answer Dataset

## Description

This dataset contains structured, human-generated content focused on theology, primarily sourced from the website [GotQuestions](https://www.gotquestions.org/). Each entry is formatted as a question (`prompt`) and a corresponding answer (`response`). The dataset is provided in JSON format and is intended for fine-tuning AI models, though it can be used for other purposes as well.

The structure of the dataset is as follows:

```json
{
    "prompt": "What does it mean to present our members as instruments of righteousness (Romans 6:13)?",
    "response": "\nAnswer: ..."
}
```

As you can see, most responses start with the word "Answer". If that is a problem to you, try this Python script (see below) that removes the first five letters if the response starts with "Answer".

## Python Script


```python
import json

def clean_responses(filename):
    with open(filename, 'r') as file:
        data = json.load(file)
    
    for entry in data:
        if entry['response'].startswith("Answer"):
            entry['response'] = entry['response'][6:]  # Remove "Answer" and the following space

    with open('cleaned_' + filename, 'w') as outfile:
        json.dump(data, outfile, indent=4)

# Usage
clean_responses('articles.json')
```

## Creation Process

I compiled this dataset over the course of about seven hours. The content is structured with the goal of maintaining accuracy while providing high-quality, Biblically-based theological information.

## License

I’m unsure of the most appropriate license for this dataset, as it is sourced from [GotQuestions](https://www.gotquestions.org/). Please make sure to credit the original creators of the content. If you have any suggestions or feedback regarding the license, I would greatly appreciate it.

## Disclaimer

This dataset is intended for educational and research purposes. It is based on publicly available theological content and is not an official publication of GotQuestions.

## Usage

This dataset can be used to fine-tune AI models on theological and Biblically-based content. It may also be useful for various other machine learning tasks or applications related to theology, question-answering systems, or religious studies.

### JSON Example

```json
{
    "prompt": "What is salvation according to the Bible?",
    "response": "Answer Salvation is a fundamental concept in Christianity, and it's essential to understand its biblical definition. According to the Bible, salvation refers to the deliverance of humanity from the consequences of sin and the restoration of a right relationship with God.  
  
The Hebrew word for salvation, "Yasha" or "Yeshua," means "to rescue" or "to deliver." In the Old Testament, salvation often referred to physical deliverance from enemies or threats. However, in the New Testament, salvation takes on a broader meaning, encompassing both physical and spiritual deliverance.  
  
The Bible teaches that humanity is sinful and separated from God (Romans 3:23). As a result, we face spiritual death and eternal separation from God (Romans 6:23). However, through faith in Jesus Christ, we can receive salvation and be reconciled to God (2 Corinthians 5:18-20).  
  
The apostle Paul summarizes the concept of salvation in Ephesians 2:8-9: "_For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast._" (ESV)  
  
In other words, salvation is a gift from God, obtained through faith in Jesus Christ, and not through our own efforts or good deeds.  
  
The Bible describes several aspects of salvation:  
  
* **Redemption**: The act of being freed from the penalty of sin (Romans 3:24-25)  
* **Justification**: Being declared righteous before God through faith in Christ (Romans 5:1)  
* **Sanctification**: The process of becoming more like Christ and being set apart for God's purposes (1 Thessalonians 4:3-4)  
* **Glorification**: The ultimate goal of salvation, where believers will be transformed into Christ's likeness and live with Him in eternity (Romans 8:29-30)  
  
In summary, salvation in the Bible is the gift of God, obtained through faith in Jesus Christ, which delivers us from the consequences of sin and restored a right relationship with God.  
  
(John 3:16)"
}
```

To clean the responses, use the Python script provided above.
