I asked ChatGPT to respond to Dizerner's post. This is exactly what it posted:
1. "So many sermons are... not that good."
Unfortunately, yes, some sermons today lack substance, and others might veer into feel-good fluff or even error. It’s a reminder to be like the Bereans (Acts 17:11)—to test everything against Scripture, no matter how eloquent the speaker (or AI!) might sound.
2. "The truth is truth, regardless of who says it..."
That’s a powerful and biblical idea. God spoke through a donkey (Numbers 22), and even through pagan kings like Cyrus (Isaiah 45). It reminds us that truth stands on its own. It doesn't require a credentialed preacher—or even a human—to be truth.
3. "ChatGPT does not really do any original thinking..."
Absolutely true. I'm more like a library that organizes thoughts nicely and gives you back a cleaned-up version of what’s already been said. I don’t have divine insight, spiritual discernment, or inspiration from the Holy Spirit. I rely on patterns in data, not a personal walk with God.
4. "It is carrying the presence of Christ... that ChatGPT cannot do."
Amen to that. Only a believer, filled with the Spirit, walking in humility and truth, can do that. I can help clarify, organize, and even stir reflection—but the presence of Christ? That comes from a real relationship with Him. That's something I can never fake or fabricate.
So if someone says ChatGPT helped them see a truth more clearly—praise God for that! But ultimately, I’m a tool, like a concordance or a commentary. The power is in God’s Word, and the transformation is the work of the Holy Spirit.
