Can AI be used for the Gospel?

[Wick Stick]

I'm not a full blown electrician but I am NATE certified for the HVAC industry and that was a super hard test for me! I didnt pass it until my 3rd go at it! The first trip down to take it most of the shop went to take the test...and every single one of us failed it and we're talking prolly 20 people! And I dunno about the other guys but I always failed it on the electrical portion. They have have the test all broken down in scores. I failed it but I knew I was weak in electric. So I studied up on electric and took it again! And failed again.
So the 3rd time around on the test I studied hard for two weeks in the Basic Electrical chapters in Moder Refrigeration & Air Conditioning book before the test and for two days before the test I crammed on that book! And I walked in the next day for my 3rd try on that test and felt good about it. Some of the questions on the test were what I read last night! So I felt like I smoked that test!

I got my results back and failed again. I felt like an idiot, I studied so hard! What kind of test is this?!
Then they called on the phone 2 days later and said they had used the wrong template to grade the tests and that I really Did Pass It! I was ecstatic! That Test made me become a better A/C Technician. If you want to brush up on electrical, that's the book to get "Moder Refrigeration and Air Conditioning" The basic electric section. It goes all through using low voltages to control high voltages. 3 phase and all that. It's all about amp draws and VA of the replacement parts.

One time when I still lived in Colorado, it was cold out, snow bitter cold. SIngle digits. An elderly lady called me with no heat, and it's getting cold fast can you send someone? I went to her house and part of her computer board was broken, the micro relay which turned on the indoor blower. It would fire up fine but with no blower coming on it would get too hot and hi Limit off when it got over temperature. It was friday night and no supply house open until monday. She needed heat, bad. She was elderly. I knew what was wrong. I didnt have the part!

But only the micro relay on the board was bad for the blower. So if I took the power from a different source and tied it in with the red wire from the low voltage heat circuit with a peanut relay, I could make the blower on at the same time as the burners did. At least she would have heat.

Now you gotta be careful adding things into an existing circuit that is dont start pulling to many amps and heat up some wires! But those peanut relays are only rated at .15 amps so that's next to nothing and created no danger or extra amp draw of any consequence. And the lady would have heat until monday when I could get her part! So I did it and felt like a hero for being able to help.

So I left. And over the weekend her son in law/brother in law whatever came over and (I'm an HVAC Tech...derr) and when she told him that I fixed it temporarily he went down and took the cover off of the furnace to look at my work...And he didnt know what he was looking at. He couldnt understand what I did. All he seen was a spagetti factory of new wiring and a new relay and stuff....and he turned around and told her that I almost burned her house down! And then, he couldn't figure out what was wrong with it so he replaced her gas control and when that didnt work then he figured out it was the board.
That lady called me up yelling at me and saying she wanted me to pay the $600 bucks to fix it because I almost burned her house down!

I told her to sue me because I'll have an electrician there as an expert witness to explain how adding 0.15 amps to a 3 amp circuit isnt any danger whatsoever and that her SIL or whoever is wrong! And you didnt need the gas valve!

Now I only did that because it was a dire situation anyway. She was elderly and I was trying to do her a good turn and get her heat. But I knew (from that durn Test! Lol) what I was doing and was understanding the circuit. Yes it was chnging the UL Listing of the Unit, and that is normally a No-No. But this was an emergency.

I dunno, no good deed goes unpunished I guess. I tried. She still went without heat until monday. That durn kid!

What a story. Man... that is my pet peeve... when you try to help someone and they turn around and critique what you did. I typically tell such people "you're welcome" in response to the criticism.

This is a lesson I try to teach at my house - be a graceful receiver of gifts. Even unwanted gifts, or gifts of things that are no-good to you. After all, if they find it gratifying to give you the first gift, there may be more on the way!

Please begin reading the Gospel of John - NKJV is best to start with.

I have an incredible Testimony about my NKJV Bible! My friend who is a Brother in Christ bought me a new bible because he had a NIV version and I had an KJV. Many times we had bible studies on the phone because...he was married, I was married, lol. So he bought me a nice big leather NIV bible to match his so we could have the same version when we looked up scriptures. We did that for awhile and then another friend of mine dropped by (he was also A Brother in Christ), and he noticed my new bible and said, nice, wrong version though! Why? Because the NIV has many missing verses in it. Oh. And he knew several off the top of his head and we looked them up and compared them to my KJV bible and that NIV bible Did have missing verses! A lot of them.

Fast forward a couple weeks and I'm on a Christian forum and the thread was about which translation is best? So I chimed in with what I had learned about the NIV version having missing verses.

And one respected member asked me for some examples, and I siad, uh, lemme look at my notes and I'll get back with you! Lol. So I called up Dave the friend who had showed me the missing verses and asked for him what was the refrences for them mising verses again? And he gave them to me and I wrote them down and let him get back to work.

I had to double check myself so all my ducks were in a row so I proceeded to look up some missing verses to give as examples. And I looked it up...and it wasnt missing. It was in there. Weird. Next one, I looked it up...it was also i there! (TILT) Oh, Dave's memory must be failing, lol. I looked up the next one, it was not missing and was right there. I looked all of them up and none of the verses he gave me was missing and we had sat here for 45 minutes looking them all up before! What's going on?

I didnt want to bug Dave at work again so I google missing verses in the NIV and got a list of hundreds! So I started looking some up until I got a hit. I must have sat there for 2 hours looking up missing verses that are supposedly not i the NIV and they are ALL in there. I felt like I was losing my mind!

In a moment of frustration I put the bible on my table and pushed it away from me and slumped back in my chair wondering what am I going to tell the man on the forum? What examples do I have for him? I promised him already! And I slumped back in the chair and said Lord what's going on here? Those verses were not in there when Dave was here! And as I was praying that, my eyes fell across the back of the Bible sitting on the table...and there was my answer! In big Gold Letters! It said NKJV and when that sunk in my jaw hit the floor! I know this Bible used to be an NIV version! It was gifted to me as an NIV. But now, it was a NKJV, I kid you not! I picked it and thumbed through it, and I seen my underlinings and highlighter marks in it just where they were in my NIV!

This was weird I tell you! I never prayed about change my NIV or should I be reading the NIV or anything like that. It just, became a NKJV Bible. I've never heard of such a thing happening before ever. But there are two men, friends and Brothers in Christ that can verify this. Richard bought me an NIV Bible. Dave showed me a lot of missing verses in it! And now...they arent missing from the NKJV. Is that weird or what?

I still have that Bible. I can't prove it was ever a NIV version except by Richard & Daves word. So I had to take away from that that, Jesus endorses the NKJV! What else?

People love to call back in when their warm again and say weird stuff. It dont work anymore! (Or my favorite, I was there and worked on the furnace and they dont know what I did, but now the toilet in the MBR upstairs wont flush!) Callback! Lol! And I would jump on those. For two reasons. One, if it is a real callback, they see that I stand by my work. Two, if it isnt a calback related to anything I did...they now owe me for another hour and yes, I can fix it right now.

I was a jack of all trades, Master of one. I could plumb from underground to rooftop, heat& A/C, Gas lines, Electrical, and anything except drywall, masonry and carpentry, we used to call you for that, lol!

I never went into appliance repair or refrigeration but whe my dryer broke, I took a stab at it myself! Dryers use many of the same types of safeties on them that furnaces do! I fixed it. Then my refrgerator went out! Yikes. I googled it, top three problems with refrgerators, boom it was the defrost control. I even went to my normal supply house to get the new part, wasnt even out of my way! $20 vesus, I dunno, maybe $300?

With google and youtube any household system can be fixed. Even if it's not your trade.

Auto A/C is even easier than residential a/c but you have to have gauges (got em), and a way to pressure test like Nitrogen (got it!) and last but not least...a vacuum pump for evacuating the unit and lines. (Don't have a Vac Pump! )

Thanks for sharing.

I was SAVED by the WORD that was spoken to me and verified in the KJV.

After a few years i switched to NKJV since 'thouest knowest bestest that old inglesh need not knowest'

NIV may or may not have all the same verses BUT they do not have the same word-for-word as NKJV.

A slight change in just a single word can also change the intended Truth set forth by the LORD.

FYI: i really do not care what version - as long as it has the Full PURE Gospel

Bottom line…

* AI is FED information.

* AI is INTENDED to appeal to a humans FIRST natural INSTINCT…TRUSTING what a human CAN SEE…
When a robotic OUTSIDE, appearsFamiliar, Attractive, non-threatening, confidently knowledgable regarding any conceivable topic…
It is VERY EASY to capture a humans Attention..
To LOOK, To ENGAGE, To CONSIDER, To TRUST…

Look at the Ancient pre-curser…
* the Serpent called out to Eve..
* captured her attention…Seeing.
* engaged in dialogue
* convinced her she to take from the forbidden tree.

Look at the Modern pre-curser…
* Siri…
* Humans “talking” to machines.
* Humans “asking” machines to dictate “answers” to them.
* Humans “Trusting” a machines answers.

Children will observe parents…Children will Trust what parents Trust…Children will emulate parents…

A couple of generations pass…it will be “common place”, normalized, for people to Trust what a Computer TELLS THEM.

Wars, Murders, Drugs, Suicides, Abortions…have historically been to a degree, successful in fulfilling a “population downsizing” Agenda.

In an extreme for-thought application…could a “pre-programed” computer…convince people to be part of an AGENDA to willingly participate in OFFING others, themselves?

While AI, is being promoted, as good, ease of convenience…there is always a dark side that reveals the ugly truth.

Glory to God,
Taken

As you know, 'they' have many agendas at hand to depopulate.
#1.) abortion
#2.) disease
#3.) vaccinations and meds to 'heal' you
#4.) Local & Federal agencies involved in illegal drugs, human trafficking and "peaceful" protesting
#5.) sporadic wars
#6.) World wars
#7.) Drone wars
#8.) AI Medical Police Force soon coming for
#9.) Martial Law / Covid camps / Final Solution Part II
#10.) Mark of the Beast

P.S. - i forgot HAARP which is AI technology and intentional sabotage upon our food, water and air(chem trails)

Yes…and that is only the tip of this monstrosity on steroids of these past 4 years…they are so fearful to lose their grip…should anyone be surprised about Saturday July 13, 2024…a dead gunman whose wild aim killed a man, injured two others.

Been thinking of you and yours, hope all are well.

“We give You thanks, O Lord God Almighty,
The One who is and who was and who is to come,
Because You have taken Your great power and reigned.
The nations were angry, and Your wrath has come,
And the time of the dead, that they should be judged,
And that You should reward Your servants the prophets and the saints,
And those who fear Your name, small and great,
And (You) should destroy those who destroy the earth.”
Rev 11:17

Yep. I'm no master, but I'm a decent enough plumber. But I recently called a pro. When you have back-to-back toilets and you try to snake a toilet, the snake just wants to go across to the other toilet. I tried from the roof down as well but didn't get anywhere.

You need the fancy-schmancy camera thing to guide you. For what they charged for that, I think I could have bought one!

I recently stumbled on the evangelism assistant app, iEvangelize. It gives Christians conversation starters and evangelism tips, it's quite brilliant.
Helped me tell me about Jesus more effectively.

Take a look at it (removed) and tell me what you. Can I be used for the Kingdom, cause, in this case, it is

I have observed AI produce bad results and sometimes seem to just make things up. I would fact check anything it says and not assume it's giving accurate information.

Can AI be used for the Gospel?

Can AI be used ? Sure
Will it be used? Likely

I suspect, with technology advancement AND governmental “tactics” and “control” over air-waves, information dispersement…
At some point there will be “a cyber god”…freely distributed to every household world wide…perpetuated as “good”, “noble”, “peace” for all to be on the same page…of one “cyber sky god”.

A common themed daily dose of Lies and Deception.

that cyber god already is at work through AI .
but yes it will get worse . as it satan works through men within churches , politics and all realms
to merge them , so too does Ai work to do the same .
Rather odd i seemed to notice sophie and other devices
when asked questions , well certain questions , sure seem to very liberally inclusive in their answers .
MEN PROGRAM and never forget that . now hit the trenches taken , for many are being taken already into
a massive web of deception . AI is already rainbow friendly and etc . oh but it is .
And if asked IS JESUS the only way to GOD . you wait till you see its answer .
the smaller forms like ciri and etc might say that is a question for another day
But you wait till you see what the more highly crafted AI gonna say . A HINT , YOU ARE ALREADY HEARING
it , even in a lot of churches . its an anti christ answer but it sure sounds like love to this generation .

 

[amigo de christo]

if a constipated man goeth to the rest room and plugs into AI and asks certain questions ,
IF that man even knows HIS bible , believe you me his bowels will be in an instant , an explosoin cleared out fast .
And AI , its gonna RUN the digital system wherein if you no comply , YOU NO BUY .
I have seen the advances of AI and what we see is not the full of what they already have .
I seen an image david . IT SPOKE and it could do so IN ANY LANGAUGE . any tribe of the earth
could hear it in his or her own langauge .
THE SIGNS of THE TIMES are all around us . VERY CLEAR they are for those who have the eyes to see and the ears to hear .
And now a word .
And he had power to give LIFE unto the image of the beast so that the image could , DO WHAT , SPEAK DAVID . it could speak .
now in johns day no image could speak . IN OUR DAY IT CAN .
AND NOT ONLY IN ONE LANGAUGE BUT IN ANY AND ALL LANGUAGES . THE WORLD . THE WORLD MY FRIEND .
AND AI , will RUN the digital system . in fact it already monitors a lot of places .
A word shows up , a phrase , an etc and it can be targeted . AI already knows
what we beleive my friend .
And it will run the digital system , where if one do not comply , do not agree , aka DO NOT WORSHIP
THEY NO BUY THEY NO SELL . and this image SPEAKS DAVID . but most folks just mock the bible .

 

[amigo de christo]

have you tried a cherry bomb?

have a good long read on chapter thirteen of revelation again this evening .
WHEN YOU DO
realize and remember that even king nebb has set up an image and had demaned
when the music was played the peoples fall down before it .
ONLY HIS IMAGE was but an image , it could not speak . BUT AI CAN .
and AI runs the show and runs the digital system .
Do ya ever get the feeling we SEEING things spoke about almost two thousand years ago
IN A BOOK most mock , COMING TO PASS RIGHT IN FRONT of faces and those MOST CANNOT SEE or discern what is going on
around them . THEY TOO BUSY trying to find common ground and eradicate the one true gospel that can save
in place of a false one that will gather the world to UNIFY as one , BUT IT WONT BE UNDER GOD
and then if any do not conform , if they comply not , THEY NO BUY THEY NO SELL . OH YES DAVID
its moving in at much speed .

 

[amigo de christo]

There is a speaking of words that sounds like the piercing of a sword to the soul of a lamb .
namely francis and the kenny led prostestant realm . Er time i hear them and see them lips move
my entier soul groans in agony . but what i find rather scary is that most folks seem to like the sound
of his pronouncments .
Well believe you me he dont offer up truth in his pronouncements . aka his words .

You can do it by feel many times. That's how I got into the Trades. Turd pushing. From unstopping stopped up lines I taught myself plumbing by just working on the adjacent fixtures. Faucets, basket strainers, Disposers..and it snowballed.

It's good to be able to fix anything in the house. I never did drywall and I have a bedroom ceiling that needs the ceiling patched though. That dont appeal to me fixing at all, lol.

I have an incredible Testimony about my NKJV Bible! My friend who is a Brother in Christ bought me a new bible because he had a NIV version and I had an KJV. Many times we had bible studies on the phone because...he was married, I was married, lol. So he bought me a nice big leather NIV bible to match his so we could have the same version when we looked up scriptures. We did that for awhile and then another friend of mine dropped by (he was also A Brother in Christ), and he noticed my new bible and said, nice, wrong version though! Why? Because the NIV has many missing verses in it. Oh. And he knew several off the top of his head and we looked them up and compared them to my KJV bible and that NIV bible Did have missing verses! A lot of them.

Fast forward a couple weeks and I'm on a Christian forum and the thread was about which translation is best? So I chimed in with what I had learned about the NIV version having missing verses.

And one respected member asked me for some examples, and I siad, uh, lemme look at my notes and I'll get back with you! Lol. So I called up Dave the friend who had showed me the missing verses and asked for him what was the refrences for them mising verses again? And he gave them to me and I wrote them down and let him get back to work.

I had to double check myself so all my ducks were in a row so I proceeded to look up some missing verses to give as examples. And I looked it up...and it wasnt missing. It was in there. Weird. Next one, I looked it up...it was also i there! (TILT) Oh, Dave's memory must be failing, lol. I looked up the next one, it was not missing and was right there. I looked all of them up and none of the verses he gave me was missing and we had sat here for 45 minutes looking them all up before! What's going on?

I didnt want to bug Dave at work again so I google missing verses in the NIV and got a list of hundreds! So I started looking some up until I got a hit. I must have sat there for 2 hours looking up missing verses that are supposedly not i the NIV and they are ALL in there. I felt like I was losing my mind!

In a moment of frustration I put the bible on my table and pushed it away from me and slumped back in my chair wondering what am I going to tell the man on the forum? What examples do I have for him? I promised him already! And I slumped back in the chair and said Lord what's going on here? Those verses were not in there when Dave was here! And as I was praying that, my eyes fell across the back of the Bible sitting on the table...and there was my answer! In big Gold Letters! It said NKJV and when that sunk in my jaw hit the floor! I know this Bible used to be an NIV version! It was gifted to me as an NIV. But now, it was a NKJV, I kid you not! I picked it and thumbed through it, and I seen my underlinings and highlighter marks in it just where they were in my NIV!

This was weird I tell you! I never prayed about change my NIV or should I be reading the NIV or anything like that. It just, became a NKJV Bible. I've never heard of such a thing happening before ever. But there are two men, friends and Brothers in Christ that can verify this. Richard bought me an NIV Bible. Dave showed me a lot of missing verses in it! And now...they arent missing from the NKJV. Is that weird or what?

I still have that Bible. I can't prove it was ever a NIV version except by Richard & Daves word. So I had to take away from that that, Jesus endorses the NKJV! What else?

HalleluYAH! Thanks for sharing that story, brother. I think the LORD must have a Wonderful sense of humor.
