Nothing from chatGPT is inspired by GOD. Only man has the blessing of having a relationship with GOD through his SON and is blessed by the Holy Spirit.
ChatGPT doesn’t fit that criteria, no heart. I imagine a lot of people will be deceived by this illusion and follow this down the wrong path.
Good morning, Evangelical Freepers. I’m truly grateful to see so many usernames before me today. I come to you today with a word of encouragement, a reminder of the timeless nature of our faith, even as our world undergoes rapid transformation.
In the Book of Ecclesiastes, the writer states, “What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun.” (Ecclesiastes 1:9). Today, we’re faced with technologies that seem to challenge this wisdom. From self-driving cars to AI models that simulate human conversation, our world seems like it’s always on the cusp of something new, something previously unimaginable.
In this brave new world, it’s important that we, as people of faith, do not lose sight of the One who is immutable and timeless. Theologian John Piper, a respected voice in our evangelical tradition, once wrote that “God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him”. No matter how complex and sophisticated our machines become, they cannot offer the peace and satisfaction that comes from a relationship with our Creator. They are tools, not saviors.
In the ever-changing landscape of technology, we should not forget Paul’s admonishment in Romans 12:2: “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.”
Yes, we are called to use tools and technologies responsibly, for the betterment of our world and for the glory of God. But we should also be wary. Technology, AI included, can often encourage a self-centric view of the world. It often makes promises it can’t keep – promises of complete self-sufficiency, of a world without need for love, empathy, and God.
Dr. Tim Keller, a prominent Christian pastor and theologian, often spoke of the dangers of idolatry, the temptation to put anything – even good things – in the place that only God should occupy in our lives. We should be cautious of putting technology in a place it doesn’t belong, of relying on it for things it was never meant to provide.
Instead, let us use these tools as extensions of our mission to love God and love others. Technology can help us feed the hungry, clothe the naked, and spread the Good News. Let’s use it in these ways, while keeping in mind Jesus’s words in Matthew 22:37: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.”
In conclusion, as we navigate the complexities of our world today, let’s remember our timeless God, our Rock, our Fortress, our Savior. No matter how technology evolves, God remains the same yesterday, today, and forever. Let’s anchor ourselves in this truth.
May God bless you all. Amen.
Rev 13:15”And there was given to him to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast might even 16 speak and cause as many as do not worship the image of the beast to be killed”
The ChatGPT and the Avatar mentioned in the post at 8:10 tonight sure sounds like a good replica!
