In the age of the rapidly growing internet, which is increasingly intervening in our lives, it is crucial for us as ecclesia to understand the topic of artificial intelligence (‘AI’, derived from ‘artificial intelligence’) and its application in the light of the truth of the Word of God.
As more and more Christians seem to be using today’s ‘AI’-based applications (Note: especially ChatGPT from OpenAI) enthusiastically, sometimes without much questioning, our aim is to examine some aspects of this in more detail and to be able to contribute as spiritually as possible to guidance in our daily dealings with it.
The general term artificial intelligence, or ‘AI’ for short, covers a specific field of computer science that deals with the automation of intelligent processes and machine learning. This involves programming an IT-system that is specifically fed with data through the use of humans in order to imitate human abilities such as logical thinking, learning, planning and creative action in numerous applications.
Artificial intelligence, which is currently enjoying increasing popularity and is set to dominate ever larger areas of society, is a system created by humans that we, as saints of the ecclesia, need to classify correctly, understand and deal with appropriately.
The dangers inherent in the use of ‘AI’ are associated with the fact that, by using it, humans feed it with all kinds of information in the form of data, so that the necessary user behavior is adopted and transferred or incorporated into the ‘AI’ system.
The ‘Smart City Chart’ is one of the globalists’ urban development concepts, which aims to connect the citizens of entire cities with the help of ‘AI’ based technology through camera and smartphone installations in such a way that people hardly have to make their own decisions anymore because almost everything essential from the interior of the household to shopping and traffic lights is ‘smartly planned for them’.
This includes everything that is fed in by us as users, the process and handling of which is not comprehensible or transparent for us humans and cannot even be reversed from this system.
Technology and the Danger of Idolatry
=> The apostle Paul used the Greek word ‘tẹchnē’ in connection with the creation of idols. The modern word for ‘technology’ comes from this word.
It can therefore be said that ‘technology’ originates from a word that is associated with human idolatry in the Word of God (cf. Acts 17:29; Revelation 18:22). <= (The text set in ‘=>’ is based on a statement from the book ‘The Return of the Gods’ by Jonathan Cahn, page 94.)
Acts 17:29:
29 ‘Therefore since we are God’s offspring, we should not think that the divine being is like gold or silver or stone – an image made by human design [Note: tẹchnē] and skill [Note: enthỵmēsis]. …’
Revelation 18:22:
22 The music of harpists and musicians, pipers and trumpeters, will never be heard in you again. No worker of any trade [Note: tẹchnē] will ever be found in you [Note: city of Babylon] again. The sound of a millstone will never be heard in you again.
In addition, there is a second Greek word in the Word of God that is associated with, among other things, the idea of creating something. This is the Greek word ‘enthỵmēsis’, which consistently carries the meaning of foolishness and evil (cf. Matthew 9:4; Matthew 12:25; Acts 17:29; Hebrews 4:12).
Matthew 9:4:
4 Knowing their thoughts [Note: enthỵmēsis], Jesus said, ‘Why do you entertain evil thoughts in your hearts? …’
Matthew 12:25:
25 Jesus knew their thoughts [Note: enthỵmēsis] and said to them, ‘Every kingdom divided against itself will be ruined, and every city or household divided against itself will not stand. …’
Acts 17:29:
29 ‘Therefore since we are God’s offspring, we should not think that the divine being is like gold or silver or stone – an image made by human design [Note: tẹchnē] and skill [Note: enthỵmēsis]. …’
Hebrews 4:12:
12 For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts [Note: enthỵmēsis] and attitudes of the heart.
(Note: The word explanation for the Greek word for ‘thoughts – enthỵmēsis’ is taken from the Elberfelder Study Bible with the word key number: 1746*.)
These word explanations clarify to us that there is a danger if we as people of God do not deal appropriately and vigilantly with the influence of ‘AI’. The fact is that we can certainly find a reference to the development of ‘AI’ in the Word of God.
The Fall of Man and the Relationship to Artificial Intelligence
It is like the seduction of the first man into sin.
The literally cold-blooded nature of a reptile, its communication and the fruit of the tree of knowledge played an important role here (cf. Genesis 3:1-7).
Genesis 3:1-7:
1 Now the snake was more crafty than any of the wild animals the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, ‘Did God really say, “You must not eat from any tree in the garden”?’
2 The woman said to the snake, ‘We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden, 3 but God did say, “You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die.” ’
4 ‘You will not certainly die,’ the snake said to the woman.
5 ‘For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.’
6 When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it.
7 Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realised that they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves.
For us, ‘AI’ is clearly a system that was created by humans and originally has no flesh and blood or soul, we can assume a ‘cold-blooded nature’ that is set up by Satan and thus by the seed of the reptile to contribute to a great deception in humanity.
In doing so, the serpent takes possession of energy and technology, which is revealed by Jesus’ statement about the fall of the adversary, who resembles a discharged vertical lightning bolt and thus carries a ‘downward spiral’ (cf. Luke 10:18).
Luke 10:18:
18 He replied, ‘I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. …’
Related to this, as ecclesia, it is our mission to rule over this influence in the form of energy and technology and not to allow it to be appropriated in the first place in order to make ourselves a ‘god’ or to lead people into dependence on these influences in the form of ‘AI’ in order to pursue idolatry.
It should serve as a warning to us that the first humans Adam and Eve were deceived in their free will by the approach of Satan, who had previously lost his position and all his beauty of heaven due to the love of glory.
Satan proceeded before the eyes of the first humans, Adam and his wife Eve, in exactly the same way as he did in heaven towards God, by making them see the security of the abundance of their possessions and using his love of glory to make a deal that played into his hands the increasing dominion of the world (cf. John 12:31 i.c.w. Ephesians 2:2).
John 12:31:
31 Now is the time for judgment on this world; now the prince of this world will be driven out.
Ephesians 2:2:
… 2 in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient.
Adam and Eve had abundant possessions (Note: Garden of Eden with all its fullness; cf. Genesis 2:15-17) and were deceived by the twisted serpent into seeking more, and then through:
- the lust of their flesh (Note: * They saw that the fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil was a good meal, which caused the desire in their flesh to crave more than what God had already provided.),
- the lust of their eyes (Note: * The fruit was pleasing to their eyes, which produced lust in their eyes and made them believe that only possessing more of this fruit would lead to true satisfaction.)
- and the pride of life (Note: * The lust caused them to think they were becoming wise in their own eyes, which led to pride and inspired them to think they were like God or equal to God). They looked at what wealth they already possessed and became greedy to possess even more.
(Note: The explanations marked with * are taken from the book ‘Money and Wealth in the New Millennium’ by Norm Franz from page 7).
Thus, Adam and his wife acted under the influence of the reptile’s seed, which carries a downward rotating DNA spiral, with the sole inheritance of doing only evil and resisting good.
The DNA Helix and the Three Seeds
=> In this context, it should be noted that we as humans have a double DNA helix on earth, but if we have Jesus Christ at the center of our lives, our spiritual being carries a triple ‘DNA helix’.
As an indispensable presupposition there must be an agreement by the presence of Jesus Christ within our spirit that says: “On earth as it is in heaven!” (cf. Matthew 6:10)
Matthew 6:10:
… 10 your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
There is a difference between the seed of the serpent, the seed of the first Adam and the seed of the last Adam, who is Jesus Christ (cf. Genesis 3:15 i.c.w. 1 Corinthians 15:45).
There is a difference between the seed of the serpent, the seed of the first Adam and the seed of the last Adam, who is Jesus Christ (cf. Genesis 3:15 i.c.w. 1 Corinthians 15:45).
Genesis 3:15:
15 And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel.”
1 Corinthians 15:45:
45 So it is written: “The first man Adam became a living being”; the last Adam, a life-giving spirit.
It is a downward spiral of DNA that the seed of the ‘reptile’ carries, with the genetic makeup to do only evil as well as to resist good, which includes contempt for all that is produced by love.
The seed of the first Adam carries a temporary upward spinning DNA spiral, which is linked to temporary life and the free will of good and evil.
The seed of the last Adam carries an eternally upward rotating DNA spiral with the eternal inheritance of the Heavenly Father, who (Note: seed of the last Adam) being spirit on earth as well as in heaven follows His Father’s legislation, fulfills it and speaks His words (cf. Matthew 5:17 i.c.w. John 5:19.43a).
The seed of the first Adam carries a temporary upward spinning DNA spiral, which is linked to temporary life and the free will of good and evil.
The seed of the last Adam carries an eternally upward rotating DNA spiral with the eternal inheritance of the Heavenly Father, who (Note: seed of the last Adam) being spirit on earth as well as in heaven follows His Father’s legislation, fulfills it and speaks His words (cf. Matthew 5:17 i.c.w. John 5:19.43a).
Matthew 5:17:
17 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.
John 5:19.43a:
19 Jesus gave them this answer: “Very truly I tell you, the Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does. …
43a I have come in my Father’s name, …
This triple-rotating spiritual ‘DNA helix’ in heaven carries the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit within its structure. It is the Trinity of God testifying to the divine Trinity on earth, who lives inside of us through Jesus Christ, the authority which is given. So, it can be seen on earth and can finally attain the fullness of its state from which it comes up (cf. 1 John 5:7-8).
1 John 5:7-8:
7 For there are three that testify: 8 the Spirit, the water and the blood; and the three are in agreement. <=

Amen and Amen.
