AI Jesus and the AI Bible

Remember the app called ChatGPT? Now there’s a “chatbot” called “AI_Jesus” and it’s attracting followers by the thousands.

Created by The Singularity Group, “the chatbot admitted that some might find its existence heretical but told them its purpose was simply to share guidance with anyone who seeks knowledge rooted in Jesus’ teachings and the Bible.”

Indeed. When asked about gay marriage, it gave the response “all love is love,” staying politically correct and noncommittal. So much for being “rooted” in the Bible.

And there’s more:

Last week, St. Paul’s church in Fürth, Germany, hosted the first church ceremony led by AI. The service featured a chatbot-powered AI, resembling a bearded man, projected onto a large screen above the worshippers, who delivered a sermon, led prayers, and even incorporated music into the service.

Luke 21:

7 So they asked Him, saying, “Teacher, but when will these things be? And what sign will there be when these things are about to take place?”

8 And He said: “Take heed that you not be deceived. For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am He,’ and, ‘The time has drawn near.’ Therefore do not go after them. 9 But when you hear of wars and commotions, do not be terrified; for these things must come to pass first, but the end will not come immediately.”

Just as concerning is the World Economic Forum’s desire to use AI to re-write the Bible.

Senior advisor Yuval Noah Harari recently proposed the concept of an AI-generated “new bible” to establish unified and “correct” religions. “Throughout history, religions dreamt about having a book written by a superhuman intelligence, by a non-human entity. In a few years, there might be religions that are actually correct … just think about a religion whose holy book is written by an AI. That could be a reality in a few years.”

Christians would argue that they already possess a book written by a non-human entity with superior intelligence. The Bible’s stated author is the Creator of the universe.

Harari and his fellow globalists, on the other hand, seek a more contemporary approach. He suggested that AI could write a new bible or other religious texts, offering the prospect of religions aligned with globalism and presumably more receptive to modern perspectives on sexuality and gender. This is not the first time he has expressed disdain for Scripture, calling it an ancient predecessor to “fake news.”

Revelation 22:

18 For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book; 19 and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the Book of Life, from the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

20 He who testifies to these things says, “Surely I am coming quickly.”

Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
