“Why?”
An editorial at Not the Bee is reporting that Christianity Today has begun promoting pastors “that use AI for sermons” and is asking the obvious question, “Why?”
The magazine, which actually was begun by Billy Graham but has changed significantly over the years, wrote how, “I Used ChatGPT for Six Months to Help My Pastoral Ministry. Here’s What Worked.”
The commentary is from a “young Taiwanese pastor.”
Yu-Li Lin explains, “Since ChatGPT became publicly accessible last year, we’ve heard reports that artificial intelligence (AI) will replace jobs and disrupt other aspects of our lives. Such changes may not currently be apparent to individual local churches in Taiwan. But in recent months, a number of Christian thinkers have been discussing how AI might either aid or possibly replace humans when it comes to pastoral care and preaching.” Click here to continue reading.

Biblically – About the constantly increasing numbers of “false teachers” (2 Peter 2:1 ~AV~KJV) all around the world who make the personal choice to use ‘Artificial Intelligence’ – instead of dependinging upon “the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost” (John 14:6, 26 ~AV)
– “the words of truth” are written in the Biblical Prophetic WARNING in 1 Timothy, Chapter 4 [AV] :
[1] Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
[2] Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;
.
And it is “the Lord Jesus Christ” who spoke “the words of truth” that are written in the Prophetic WARNING in Matthew, Chapter 15 [AV] :
[7] Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying,
[8] This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.
[9] But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
===> Hebrews 4:12 [AV]
.
It won’t be the Holy Spirit involved in these AI sermons. It will look like the light of truth to the overwhelmingly Biblically ignorant “Christians”, but a little Berean effort will easily expose/unmask the diabolical evil behind AI to those really seeking truth. Satan is coming after us on every front. Mass convergence on steroids’. You will know the season.
