AI: I Choose Discernment Over Alarmism.
I asked AI to help me understand why some people fear AI ā especially from a Biblical perspective. Because if something stirs this much concern among believers, itās worth slowing down and seeking clarity, not reacting from fear. Iāve seen a lot of fear-based claims circulating lately ā especially that AI is āsatanicā or mentioned in the Book of Revelation. Because my faith matters deeply to me, I chose to slow down, pray, study Scripture, and examine the context ā not react from fear. Hereās where I stand: š¹ Revelation is written in symbolic, apocalyptic language, not modern technological terms. š¹ The Bible warns about misplaced worship and allegiance, not tools. š¹ The āimage of the beastā is about idolatry enforced by power, not artificial intelligence. š¹ The āmarkā involves conscious allegiance, not accidental use of software. š¹ Scripture repeatedly calls us to discernment, wisdom, and a sound mind ā not panic. I use AI as a tool to support creativity, organization, and communication. I do not worship it. I do not place it above God. I ASK GOD FIRST!! I do not surrender discernment to it. I pray. I study. I test things. Then I decide. If your convictions lead you to avoid AI, I respect that. But please donāt confuse fear with faith or interpretation with Scripture. I choose discernment over alarmism.Wisdom over reaction. Faith without fear. šļø So, for my friends and fellow Christians who are skeptical, here are a few important points to ponder, pray over, and consider: ⢠The Bible does not mention artificial intelligence. Not once. What it does speak about repeatedly is discernment, wisdom, stewardship, and intention. ⢠Technology itself is morally neutral. Throughout history, every major advancement ā the printing press, radio, television, even the internet ā was once called dangerous or evil until it became understood and stewarded well. ⢠The āmark of the beastā described in Revelation involves worship, allegiance, and denial of God ā not the use of tools. You cannot accidentally take a spiritual vow by using software.
