AI and the Boiling Pot

0:02 Looking at our world from a theological perspective. This is the Theology Central podcast, making Theology Central. Good evening everyone. It is Thursday, January the ninth, twenty twenty five. As I almost did it, I knew sooner or letter I was going to do that. I knew sooner a letter I was going to say twenty twenty four. I almost did it, but I caught myself, so let me do that again. Good evening everyone. It is Thursday, January the ninth, twenty twenty five. It is currently seven forty nine pm Central Time, and I am coming to you live from the Theology Central studio located right here in Abilene, Texas well.

0:48 For this episode, we're going to once again turn back to the subject of artificial intelligence, but we're going to talk about it as it connects to a boiling pot. What is the connection between AI and a boiling pot? How about what is the connection between Maybe we shouldn't even say to a connection. This is gonna be a I versus a sermon about a boiling pot. Here's what happened today. I kept thinking, well, I'm gonna get a chance to broadcast. I'm gonna get a chance to broadcast and the chance never really happened. It never arrived, it never materialized. So I was like, okay, and I can't.

1:37 You know, it's one of those things where you keep like coming back to the microphone thinking okay, now, okay, that's not it's going to happen. Now, it's not going to happen. So and a lot of that time then I wasn't really accomplishing anything. So I opened up the sermon's two point oh app was going through it and saw a sermon, in fact, it was the newest sermon at that moment, entitled Danger of the Boiler Pot, Danger of the Boiling Pot. And I'm like, oh, that looks interesting. So I started playing it. Realized immediately that the volume was way too low, and they're singing at the beginning and there's all. So I'm like, you know what, I know what I'll do. I'll just go ahead and download this, increase the volume, amplify it, then load it to my studio software, queue it up, and at some point when I can go live, I'll have it ready to go.

2:27 And what we're going to do is listen to this sermon about a boiling pot. At the same time we will see how AI will handle the text. Now, the text in question appears to be from what I can tell at least, what is listed is Zequal Chapter twenty four is Ezequal Chapter twenty four. So here's what we're going to do. I'm going to be utilizing two artificial intelligence programs. Right. I'm going to be using chat GPT on a ezekiuel twenty four. I'm also going to be using the Bible Memory app. But they now have an artificial intelligence thing that you can subscribe to for like five dollars or six dollars a month. So I'm going to be utilizing the Bible Memory, artificial intelligence Chat GPT, and that we're going to be listening to this sermon, and we're going to see which one wins. Does the sermon win, or does artificial intelligent wins? In fact, in some ways, I think maybe I told you that, you know, twenty twenty five, we don't really have a direction, but artificial intelligence is going to be discussed constantly throughout and everything that we do.

3:38 I think what we may need to do is we may want to create a series. Now that I'm thinking about, I keep thinking where do I put all the sermons? I may be. One of the things we do is we just have a series entitled Artificial Intelligence Versus Sermons or Artificial Intelligence, Yeah, AI versus sermons, and we will compare sermons to AI and see which one wins, Right, I mean, I think that's to me, that's really the issue here. We've been talking about artificial intelligence all of twenty twenty five so far, over and over and over again, and I keep in my hypotheses. My thesis is that AI is making the church completely and utterly irrelevant because AI can do anything better than a church can do when it comes to preaching and teaching. Now, again, if you are a sacramental church, you need the church. AI can't help you there. Right. If you are looking for a church for community, friendship, activities, fellowships, potlucks, all of those types of things, well, then the church is going to still be valuable. But if you see the church as a place that is supposed to equip saints so they're no longer children being tossed to and fro with every wind of doctrine, and they do this equipping by the preaching and teaching of God's word. If the church is supposed to be the place that is teaching, that is preaching, that is expounding scripture, breaking it down. Well, ladies and gentlemen, I'm going to I'm just going to

5:09 say it, and I know not everyone agrees with this, but AI makes the church irrelevant. AI can do better than any sermon, and I'm going to stand by that, and we're going to I guess this in some ways, twenty twenty five is going to be me testing the concept, right, I guess in some ways it's going to be ME testing the concept because we're going to continue to put AI versus sermons. So in this case, when we do sermon reviews, we'll review the sermon, but I will be constantly challenging the sermon with artificial intelligence and we will see where we get. Now, we can do this different ways. Now I could go look for this sermon. I could do this, and I could go ahead and offer it to AI and say, analyze it and find all of the mistakes. We've already done. We did that with two sermons already on the podcast in twenty twenty five, and in both cases AI pointed out all kinds of problems with those sermons, geographical errors, this kind of a logical errors, all kinds of things. So in this case, I have not given this sermon to AI. I'm going to just try to deal with it in real time. Now, I did ask AI to break down Ezequel twenty four, so I may what I'm going to do. I have the Bible Memory app, I have its Bible Intelligence program operating, and it's already broken down Ezequel twenty four for me.

6:33 So I have that, and I have chat GPT's breakdown of Ezequel twenty four. So I'm going to use that kind of as We'll go through the sermon, and then I'll compare what the sermon is doing with what AI has done with the text. I think, and we're going to just try lots of different things like this to continue. I know some of you are like some of you, look, I already know there's been pushback. Don't waste your time doing that. It does doesn't matter. Who cares, Just preach scripture. Well you may say it doesn't matter. You may say who cares? You're gonna care when you wake up and realize that you know, well we were ignoring it. Well all of this had happened. And Ai, I'm telling you, I don't know how we can ignore it. We can't ignore it, so well, that's what we're going to do.

7:20 So I don't know if this is going to be I still haven't figured out the perfect way to do this. Haven't figured out the perfect way to address it. So there's got and but that's the fun thing of this podcast. No again, no no notebook, it's empty, no GPS in our car. We don't know where we're going. We're just trying to figure it out. And I think that's the fun part of this is we're trying to figure it out in real time. How do I address this? So we're gonna try it this way because the other way is I just turned on the microphone and go, here's the sermon, right, here's what AI says about the sermon. But you're not really hearing the sermon. Now, if I if we try to review the sermon, then I read to you what AI said about the sermon. I guess we could do that, but I don't know. I haven't quite figured it out. But this time, what we're going to do is I've got ais breakdown of the passage of Scripture. I do not have ais breakdown of the sermon.

8:20 So I'm going into the sermon just as blind as you are. But I'll immediately contrast what it's doing with what AI did. So in that sense, we're gonna compare and contrast that way. So are you ready? Here we go. I hope the audio is loud enough. I boosted this thing like crazy, so I'm hoping it's loud enough. It's called The Danger of the Boiling Pot. It was uploaded earlier today. It was like the first sermon in the new sermon tab, and so I grabbed it then, and because the title caught my attention. So here we go. Take your bibles and return to the Book of Ezekiel ezek Kilt, chapter twenty four.

9:26 Okay, he's coming in very very calm, very somber, not like I do. I come in almost yelling at everyone. Okay. So this is much so for those who hate my style because people say you're over dramatic, You're ah, it's fake, You're okay, just whatever. People. I hate when people say it's fake because that means they don't know me, but because that's just the way I am. But yeah, it's hard. I listen to this. I'm like, are you okay? And he are you okay, and he are you okay because are we about to study the Bible or what's happening here? But that's okay. Everyone has different styles. Some people love this more calm, peaceful approach. Let's see how he handles it.

10:15 I can I read the first fourteen verses there today in Ezekiel Chapter twenty four. Verses one to fourteen will stand pleace for the reading of God's word. Verse one, it says again in the ninth year, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, son of Man, write the the name of the day. Even of this same day. The King of Babylon set himself against Jerusalem this same day, and utter a parable onto the rebellious house, and say unto them. Thus say it the Lord God set on a pot, Set it on, and also pour water into it, Gather the pieces thereof into it, even every good piece, the thigh and the shoulder. Fill it with the choice bones, take the choice of the flock, and burn also the bones under it, and make it boil well, and let them seethe the bones of it therein. Wherefore, thus say it the Lord God woe to the bloody city. To the pot whose scum is therein, and whose scum is not gone out of it, Bring it out, piece by piece,

11:48 Let no lot fall upon it. For her blood is in the midst of her. She set it upon the top of a rock. She poured it not upon the ground to cover it with dust, that it might cause fury to come up to take vengeance. I have set her blood upon the top of a rock, that it should not be covered. Therefore, thus saith the Lord God, woe to the bloody city. I will even make the pile for fire great. Keep on wood, Kindle the fire, consume the flesh, and spice it well, and let the bones be burned. Then set it empty upon the coals thereof that the brass of it may be hot and may burn, and that the filthiness of it may be molten in it, that the scum of it may be consumed.

12:53 She hath wearied herself with lies, and her great scum went not forth out of her. Her scum shall be in the fire. In thy filthiness is lewdness. Because I have purged thee and thou hast, and thou wast not purged. Thou shalt not be purged from thy filthiness anymore till I have caused my fury to rest upon THEE. I the Lord have spoken it. It shall come to pass, and I will do it. I will not go back, Neither will I spare, Neither will I repent. According to Thy ways and according to Thy doings. Shall they judge THEE saith the Lord God, Haven you, Father. We're thankful again that we have thy word. Thankful again that we can look at the history of the nation of Israel.

13:53 We can understand why they're in such trouble to day. We can understand why they were in such trouble when thy son, the Lord Jesus Christ came to this earth, and why they were in such trouble in Ezekiel's day. And we need to pay attention to what we have read here and understand that we as gentiles also need to know the true God. We need to walk with THEE. Those of us that are saved. We cannot play games with THEE. We need to understand that walking in Thy way is the right way to walk. It is the way of blessing, and it is the way that we can be a help to others, to know Thy peace and truth. So we pray for each Christian that's listening today that each one would see the importance of walking humbly and truthfully with THEE and allowing THEE to direct our steps, that we would want to please THEE and be a blessing to others. We pray for any lost person that's listening, that they might understand the importance of repentance toward THEE and trusting in Thy son, the Lord Jesus Christ alone for their salvation. May I will be accomplished as we look into these verses. May we allow THEE to direct us in our thoughts, and may we take away anything that would distract us so that we can receive that blessing that WOULDS have for us in

15:23 this study. We pray in Jesus' name, Amen. Maybe see. Now a couple of things about the prayer. First, he is placing this passage about Israel, So already I'm already happy about that, considering all the horrible things we've encountered listening to sermons on Isaiah forty forty one, forty two, forty three, forty four, forty five, forty six, forty seven. Because I think I think everyone forgot Israel even existed in the preaching of all of those sermons. So that's a good thing. We've got a sermon that at least acknowledges Israel somehow is connected with this. Now you do know my frustration with sermons saying God lead us, direct us, help us, anything along those lines, because if God is leading, directing and helping us and understanding the Bible after two thousand years, you think there would be some agreement. But after two thousand years there is no agreement. So that only means that to me, the only thing you can take from that is God is not leading, guiding and directing us and understanding scripture. The Bible is God's written word, It's God's revelation, and he has given it to us to try to understand and interpret using all all the things we know about interpreting anything in a written form.

16:40 If he's guiding and directing, again, you already know the problem with that, right, because if I say, well, I'm praying for God to guide and direct me and I come to this interpretation, well one is if God is the one guiding and directing me to that interpretation, then you can't challenge that interpretation because it came from God. Well, then here comes the problem. That person over there prayed and God led them to that interpretation. And I guarantee you he just prayed for God to guide and lead them basically, and they're interpreting of Ezekiel twenty four. I guarantee you he's going to come to a conclusion that I could go find another sermon and probably ten seconds where they pray for God to guide and lead them and they're going to come to an opposite direction. So who is God guiding? He's not guiding both and to opposite directions and different interpretations that contradict one another. So the whole thing. No, clearly God is not doing that.

17:35 If he was, then there would not be fifty bazillion I know that's a hyperbole, big time, fifty bazillion different groups. But it's not hyperbole to say fifty bazillion different interpretations because the interpretations are endless when it comes to Christians reading the Bible all claiming God is guiding them and directing them and opening their eyes. So you know my problem with all of that because it's just I'm so tired of hearing it. Because if that's the case, then hey, don't challenge my interpretation. It came from God. Well see, you won't accept that. The minute you disagree with my interpretation, you will immediately throw out that God is God in and leading me. So so it's all a game anyway.

18:16 All right, So let's see what Let's see where this goes. All right, So there's the prayer. Those are my typical issues with opening prayer. But that's okay. And a lot of times the opening prayer I kind of feel like he already kind of started kind of giving his introduction to the sermon, which is what preachers typically do. That's why can we just open the Bible? And if you need to pray for the sermon, pray before you even stand and the pulpit. And because once you stand there, you have a tendency in your prayer to basically start preaching the sermon. God doesn't need to hear you preach the sermon hered He knows everything about it. It's his word, all right. But all right, here we go. Good. I love the matsage is the danger of the boiling pot. The danger of the boiling pot. Now, as we've mentioned many times before that it is important to keeping our eyes on what's going on in the Middle East, and we can see that there's still a boiling pot in the Middle East. Right now. Israel is continuing to go into Gaza. They have been in there for quite some time. They have destroyed some of the tunnels, they have killed a number of the terrafts. But when they go back in, they find that the terrorists Hamas is still going back into some of the areas that Israel has already defeated in the past. But they're.

19:52 Okay, that took a wild turn. We're in Ezekiel twenty four, and next thing you know, we're talking about Israel today going into Gaza. How in the world did that just happen? All right, So I'm gonna let him go a little further because obviously I guess what he's going to attempt to do is look at what's going on Israel and the present connect that somehow to Ezekiel twenty four. Oh, I've got questions. I've got questions. Let's see I know this. Ai did not do that. Okay. AI did not say, hey, consider Israel and Gaza right now. Now, let's look at Ezequel twenty four. AI did not do that. All right, Let's see what he does with this, because maybe it actually is brilliant and maybe I'm missing something here. But immediately I'm a little bit confused. I'm like, don't we need to establish the historical context and the textual context for Ezequel twenty four before we proceed? But okay, maybe this is just a way to kind of grab your attention.

20:51 It's kind of that opening illustration because you start talking about something everyone is familiar with because it's been in the news NonStop. So maybe that's the idea here. This is kind of like grab the attention in a sermon. Okay, let's see. Because remember, when it comes to sermons, I hate to say it, sermons are typically structured kind of like a speech, right, It's not really structured to get you necessarily to the text. It's about it's about the techniques used to keep you interested and to throw out the hook. And that's why some of my problems with the sermons structure. But let's see, this may actually work, So I'm not criticizing it yet. It's just immediately I'm just like, wait, how did we get there? I thought we were in Ezequel twenty four. Obviously he's going to use this to get us to Ezequel twenty four. Now, at least that's my thinking.

21:42 Going back in there and continuing to set up their weapons to use against Israel, and as even a hospital that they recently attacked, they took the patients out. Of course, Israel is not into killing innocent people unnecessarily, but Hamas had used that hospital as a headquarters for their weapons and for their terrorist activities. And they did that on purpose because they assumed, they thought that they'd be safe there because they wouldn't Israel wouldn't attack a hospital. But then they also figured if Israel did attack, then they could cry war crimes to the media. And of course the media is more than ready to entertain attacks against Israel.

22:34 Most of the media today is anti Semite. Oh boy, okay, see here we go. Now this is a problem. In a sermon, he starts making all these claims. Most of the media today is anti Semite. It's anti Semitic, Like, how are you going to quantify that? How are you qualifying that he makes a claim about Israel in this hospital. I know all the reports, but I guarantee you, I bet you there's conflicting reports. Is he going to report both sides. Is he going to state the sources from which he's just making it dogmatic that this is what Israel did and this is what Israel did not do based off what see this is now the sermon already now is becoming a problem. Right See, this is the problem with the sermon. So now you know what I need.

23:16 I almost want to take this sermon right now and give it to artificial intelligence and say, can you verify some of these claims? I mean, how do you claim most of the media is anti Semitic? Like, now, me member, this is a sermon being preached. This is about the preaching of God's word, right, and now you just made a claim where you said most that's judging, that's making an accusation, and maybe it may even border on bearing false witness. Which media are you referring to? Media in the UK, media in the Middle East, media in North Korea, Korea where or just media in the United States.

24:03 Well, if it comes to media in the United States, then we would have to take all the media groups that you're referring to. I guess, ABC, CBS, NBC all of them, and then then we just immediately just claim, hey, most of you are anti Semitic, and we're not even going to bother to qualify it. Quantify Is that not a borderline bearing false witness, which is a sin. Now, if you can prove that, if you have some conclusive study, then I'm more than happy to state that. But if he had a conclusive study, I'm assuming he would be reciting the source. Maybe he's getting ready to We're already got. We already have a problem beginning here. See we're not we haven't even gotten, we haven't even gotten to the text.

24:47 But now you see how sermons many cases distract you from the text. And they are promoting the lies of Hamas and hezbe Lah and other groups like that. And so it's a constant challenge for the nation of Israel in the Middle East right now. But part of that is their own In fact, much of that is of their own making, just as we see in our text here. Today, Israel still has not seen the importance of turning back to the True God and following him in our own country.

25:31 We have in Mississauga this month, I don't remember the date, but this month they are having an Islamic Caliphate conference in Mississauga, Ontario, Now, it's interesting that when that was first announced that there was no politician speaking out against it, But in the last few days a few have expressed alarm at this conference being held in this country. But the thing of it is that this country is promoting and protecting terrorists and they're doing that in Toronto, they're doing it in Montreal, they're doing it in Victoria. There was a a report given out.

26:22 He may be referring to Canada. He may be referring to Canada here and referring to that most of the Canadian media is anti Semitic. Now, I do listen to a lot of Canadian news. I subscribe to a number of Canadian news sources. I don't know if I would go there, So I yeah, I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. Or we'll just we'll just let him go. We'll just let him continue. See he did, He's got to quantify what he's qualify what who he's referring to? Right, But okay, today from Victoria and the hamas terrorists, they go into an intersection, they block the traffic in the intersection, and then they have their speech there and their protest and they move on to another intersection do the same thing, and the police are there, they have their vehicles there, and they're on foot there, but they're not doing anything to stop the protests. They're there and they have their vehicles sitting there. In one place, they even had a police car across the intersection, blocking the intersection so the protesters could do their devious deed. And so we see that our country of Canada is living in defiance of the true God. We've known that for a long time, and they are trying hard to get

27:57 rid of the Jews. Now, just I did ask Ai about some of the claims made in this. Here's immediately what Ai said. I asked Ai about factual claims in this, and Ai said, the uploaded transcript contains claims about current events that require scrutiny, and some may lack evidence or reflect personal opinion rather than verifiable facts. Here are the observations regarding potential errors of false claims about current events. Now again that as as someone listening to a sermon, you're supposed to determine if it's true or false. This entire we're not to see how this has kept us. I've said this a million times. Sermons literally take you away from the text.

28:42 I've said this so many times. Look what we're doing or are we talking Ezekiel twenty four? No, now we got to go verify all of this claims about Israel and Gaza. Israel is not this is the claim in the sermon. Israel is not into killing innocent people unnecessarily. Hamas use that hospital as a headquarters for their weapons and for their terrorist activities. That's the claim made in the sermon. It's a direct quote from the sermon because Ai took it from the transcript that I provided it. Here's AI's analysis. This reflects a specific perspective on the Israeli Palestinian conflict. While it is widely reported that Hamas has used civilian infrastructure for military purposes, claims about specific hospitals being used as headquarters needs verification from reliable sources. Additionally, terms like unnecessarily introduced subjectivity as civilian casualties in conflict are highly contentious and often debated in international media and human rights reports. In other words, once you start making these claims, things can become subjective. You may not be giving all the facts. That's the problem, because if you're wrong just a little bit in your sermon, If you miss characterize, if you misrepresent, if you accuse and it's not one thousand one percent correct, then from the pulpit, while holding a Bible, you start bearing false witness. Now I know nobody cares in the pew. Nobody could care as long as you're bearing false witness against people you don't like. If it's against this group or this group

30:14 or this group. Oh we hate the media, Say whatever you want. Oh we don't like the homosexual movement, Say what you want. Nobody cares. No, no pastor is going to get in trouble for bearing false witness from the pulpit. Nobody's going to be excommunicated, nobody's going to be church disciplined, No one's going to be disqualified. Nobody cares. But right there, I'm not saying that there weren't factual statements about what happened there. But there's a lot to go through. There's a lot of you've got to cite your sources. Number Two, media bias the claim and the sermon. Most of the media today is anti Semite, and they are promoting the lies of Hamas and Hesbelah analysis. This is a sweeping generalization.

30:59 While media coverage of the Israeli Palestinian conflict varies by outlet and region. Labeling most of the media as anti Semitic is a serious accusation that lacks supporting evidence and the transcript. Accusations of bias should be substantiated with specific examples and credible analysis. As Christians, if we're gonna make sweeping accusations, we should be the one who provides carefully detailed example and analysis showing that's the case. You just can't accuse people. You're accusing human beings, those human beings who work for those media companies, and you're accusing them of being anti Semitic. No, are you gonna name the individuals.

31:49 You may be accusing people who I don't know are Jewish. I mean, that's oh okay. Number three, He goes on to claim our country of Canada, we just listened to it is promoting and protecting terrorists in Toronto and Montreal and Victoria analysis. This is a strong accusation that lacks concrete evidence and the transcript. While protests and public demonstrations, including those by groups sympathetic to Palestinian causes, have occurred in Canada, labeling these actions as promoting and protecting terrorists requires substantiation through official reports or investigations. Another claim in the sermon, the Prime Minister has said he's going to resign, but his his parliament is not a legal step, all right, analysis this statement about the Canadian Prime minister contains inaccuracies.

32:48 No evidence or record exists as of the transcript's context that Justin Trudeau announced his resignation now now in the transcript, because I guess this sermon happened before it happened, but he has announced it since then, so there was no evidence offered there. But ultimately in time it has happened. I don't know the date of when the sermon was preached and what they're referring to the parliament as pro roguing parliament is a legal procedure within the Canadian parliamentary system. While it can be politically controversial, claiming it is not a legal step is incorrect, all right. So this is something in Canadian politics, So claiming something is is not a legal step is incorrect. So AI is like, Hey, you can't say that because that's incorrect. So there's a lot there about the resignation. So he did, but at the time of the sermon, and of course there was no information offered in the transcript. AI here is simply analyzing the transcript, not digging out other information from there, So there's already problems here. He's making factual errors and wild accusations. So he's going to say something else about the California wildfires that are continuing going on. Let's see what he has to say here.

34:07 And they're also trying hard to get rid of Christians. Our country, as we've mentioned before, is under the judgment of God and it's just going to get worse. We are currently without a have been for quite some time. But since Monday, our Prime minister has said he's going to resign. He hasn't resigned yet, but he is thinking that. He is thinking that he can get away with something by proguing parliament and calling the leadership race. But according to some people, his proguing parliament is not a legal step that he has taken, and they're fighting it in court right now.

34:58 Proguingroguing, Okay, that's an interesting word, proguing. I'm not familiar with that term. Proging, pro proguing. I guess p R O R O g U I N G proguing Parliament, and he says that it's not a legal step, or at least some is saying it's not a legal step. AI is saying, well, it can be politically controversial. Claiming that it's not a legal step is incorrect. So AI is arguing that's not even correct. So again, but please know what's happening here. We're getting a million miles away from Ezequel twenty four. We're nowhere even close to Ezequel twenty four at this point. All right, so and again and again I'm having to use AI to verify and check all of this. We already we probably have already crossed the line into bearing false witness in this sermon.

35:44 We're nowhere near Ezequel twenty four. And here in a minute, i'll show you what what AI did with Ezequel twenty four. And once again it's going to demonstrate, you know, the church is actually detrimental to the learning of God's word. So it's very interesting to watch what's going on both in our country as well as in the United States, and then also what's going on in the Middle East. We need to keep our eyes open and we need to be sure that we know the true God, and we're living for him so that we can help others in these days of grace to know the truth. Looking at our text, Ezekiel was a prophet chosen by God to speak mainly to Judah. He did also speak to Israel, warning them of the danger that they were in because of their rebellion. In the first several chapters there was the first several chapters of the book, Ezekiel was taken back to Judah in spirit and he was shown the abominations that the priests and others were committing in the temple and in Jerusalem in general. And then in the following chapters after that, then Ezekiel was in person in

37:20 Babylon and speaking and writing to his fellow Jews back in Jerusalem and in Judah. So here we see in this passage that God gives us some dates. Again. So God's timing is important. He puts us in here for a reason. So he tells us here in verse one again in the ninth year. Okay, at least now we've gotten to the text. So he kind of went back to the early chapters, and then he's now going to the dating here. There's no real offering any contextual context that I guess. So this is how AI began. All right, here's Ai, and I'm using chat GPT for this. Ai says, here's the context.

38:10 This is how I asked Ai to just basically break down Ezequel twenty four. AI says, here's your contextual overview. Ezekuel twenty four one through fourteen is a pivotal passage in Ezekuel's ministry. It marks the announcement of the final siege of Jerusalem by Babylon and uses a parable of a boiling pot to depict the judgment of Jerusalem. This chapter concludes a significant section of Ezekuel's prophecies against Jerusalem and Judah before shifting to oracles against foreign nations and the subsequent chapters. So Ai has let me know that, hey, this is a pivotal passage in ezequels ministry, that it marks the announcement of the final siege of Jerusalem by Babylon.

39:02 That it uses a parable of a boiling pot to depict the judgment of Jerusalem. This chapter concludes a significant section of the prophecies against Jerusalem Judah, and it's now in the next few chapters or in the chapters coming. It's going to shift to foreign nations in the subsequent chapters coming after this, So it kind of tells a little bit of where we are, what's going, and what is happening. So it gives us an overview. Now, if I go to the Bible Memory app utilizing its artificial intelligence, here's here's how it begins. Ezekiel twenty four records a significant moment in the ministry of the prophet Ezekiel during the Babylonian exile of Israel. This chapter opens with a date reference that situates the message within a historical framework occurring during the siege of Jerusalem. Now, according to this this is happening during the siege. Right, The verses begin with a direct proclamation from the Lord to Ezekiel, marking it as a pivotal moment. This chronological detail in the ninth year and the tenth month on the tenth day emphasizes the specific timing of God's message, establishing a connection to the unfolding events and Jerusalem. All right, so there we get some we get Ai gives us all kinds of background here and context here that hasn't been provided in the sermon. And the sermon we kind of went back to well, at one point Ezekiel has taken, I

40:34 guess in spirit to a place to see the apostasy. Then he was, I guess in Babylon speaking. I don't think he really established where Ezekiel is in Ezequel twenty four. But okay, and now he immediately goes to the date, right, So we didn't really get much anything. Now, maybe he's gonna flush it out here in a minute. We will see in the tenth months, in the tenth day of the month. So what's that in reference to, Well, it's in reference to the fall of Jehoiakin. If we go to Second Kings, chapter twenty five and verse one, Second Kings twenty five, verse one, and it says there and it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, that Nebukid Nezar, king of Babylon, came he and all his hosts against Jerusalem and pitched against it, and they built forts against it round about. So Ezekiel here is speaking of that same time Jeremiah chapter thirty nine and verse one. Jeremiah thirty nine and verse one, And there it also talks about the ninth ninth year,

42:07 and it says, in the ninth year of Zedeki, king of Judah, in the tenth month came Nebucud Resor, king of Babylon, and all his army against Jerusalem, and they besieged it. So we have the fall of Jehoiakim, and we have also the besieging, because we need to remember that there were three different waves of attack against Jerusalem by Nebucud Nezar. So it tells us in our text here that in the ninth year and the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, the word the Lord came unto me saying the word Lord. There is all capitalized speaking of Jehovah God, and so we see that again here. So this is again speaking of the inspiration of the scriptures. And then in verse two, Eazekial is reminded again that he is a man, son of man.

43:06 He's not a god, he's a prophet. But he God sees the importance here of continually reminding him. All right, so he does some things with the dates. Ai does this, and this is chat GPT. It refers to this as the prophetic time stamp. And the ninth year in the tenth month, on the tenth day of the month. According to AI, this precise date corresponds to January fifteenth, five eighty eight BC, the beginning of the Babylonian siege of Jerusalem. It connects it to Tewod King's twenty five to one and Jeremiah fifty two four, Son of Man, write down the name of this day. The command emphasizes the historic anthological significance of the siege as God's judgment. Now to AI, the synchronization of this date with other biblical records second Kings twenty five to one and ancient Babylonian records raises questions about the systems used to you know, the calendar systems and exact historical dating.

44:17 So there may be some issue with that. I could ask AI for clarification to go into more, but it seems that he does kind of connect this to around that date, to that event. Okay, all right, we probably could do a little bit more work on it, all right, so so far that at least he's covering the basic part here. He didn't really give us much background in much context. AI did a better job at that. He did pretty good with the date, so much with this. Okay, we'll see how these two we're gonna We're gonna keep track of how these two move forward. Right here we go. Of his place. Ezekiel is not someone who's trying to usurp his place, trying to get a higher standing. But God saw the importance here reminding him of who he was, and the importance of taking his place properly in humility and being that witness for God to his own people.

45:18 So in verse two, it says, Son of Man, write the name of the day. Even this same day, the king of Babylon set himself against Rusalem this same day. So here we are told that the day given in verse one, this was actually coming to pass. Now on the same day. There was no more delaying God's reminding the people of that. There's no further delaying. Israel had had many years to reconsider their rebellion. The north had always been rebellion. The South had some good kings, but they were also going further and further into rebellion. And God sent them prophets like Jeremiah. But the nation of Judah failed to heed the warnings given to them by God's prophets. And so in verse three Ezekiel is told to utter a parable unto the rebellious house and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God. So again Ezekiel is told by God that the nation of Israel, Judah in particular, was a rebellious house. They were rebelling against God.

46:48 And here God speaks of himself as the Lord God. The word Lord there Adnai is a term that is used the name that is used in reverence for God and sometimes used in place of Jehovah. But here we have the word Lord, but we also have the word God, all capitalized, speaking of Jehovah, God, the self existent God. So Ezekiel is told to remind the nation of Judah who is speaking, and his authority to speak to them, and not just speak to them, but the authority that he has to judge them. And of course with that judgment comes the sentence, comes the punishment. So the second thing we see here is the details of the parable.

47:43 So Ezekiel is told to utter a parable unto the rebellious house. Now what is the parable? So he starts out in verse three, and he says, set on a pot, set it off, and also pour water into it. This is not a small pot. This would be a larger pot. But he's told to set this pot, and as we read in this passage, he sets it on the fire, and he puts water into the pot. And then in verse four it says, gather the pieces thereof into it, even every good piece, the thigh and the shoulder. Fill it with the choice bones. Take the choice of the flock, and burn also the bones under it, and make it boil well, and let them seethe the bones of it therein.

48:42 So the picture that Ezekil is told to present before the nation here is that he's not to take an animal that is scrawny, an animal that is sick. He's to take the best of the ac and we'll take the choice of the flock. Okay, So now we have a parable. So that means if it's using if it's a parable, it's using this type of language, then that means we have a couple of options. Here. One can see does what does each thing represent? Sometimes you can do that in a parable. Sometimes that can be counterintuitive and actually hurt the parable. Sometimes you're not supposed to sit there and say, well, this represents this, and this represents this. You're supposed to just look for the overarching meaning of the parable. Right, so this is a hermeneutical issue, right, you could and preaching, you could bring this up. All right, ladies and gentlemen, we have a parable. Do we look to see what each part represents?

49:46 Or do we simply look for the overall meaning of the parable itself? And does it matter if we know what each part represents or maybe each part doesn't represent something different. There's a lot of different ways you could approach this. He's not obviously have any discussion about this or explaining this, and he kind of just went from the pot to all the pieces being gathered. He kind of went to that. Now Ai took a different approach. Ai, at least chat Gpt said, Okay, it breaks it down. Here we go, set on the pot, set it on. According to artificial intelligence, the pot represents Jerusalem. Put in the pieces of meat. The pieces of meat symbolizes the inhabitants of the city. Choice bones likely refers to the leaders and elite of Jerusalem. That's how Ai breaks it down.

50:43 Ai breaks it down. The pot is Jerusalem, the pieces are the people, and the choice bones are the leaders. Now Ai says there is a textual challenge here the imagery of the pot and meat is symbolic, yet its exact interpretation. Does the meat signify all inhabitants or only the leaders? The metaphor has overlaps with the Ezekuel eleven verses three through twelve, complicating its precise meaning. So AI acknowledges hmm. There are a lot of different interpretations here, which would tell me, as someone who would be preaching or teaching, I'd be like, all right, guys, first, there's a lot of different ways to handle these different elements of the parable. Since there's a lot of different ways, maybe we should just look at what's the basic meaning of the parable. Now. I don't know if he's going to address any of this at all. I'm going to go back to the Bible memory app It says here, the Lord commands these equal to convey a parable. Speak a parable to the rebellious house, and say into them.

51:47 Thus says the Lord God, set on a pot, set it on, and also pour water into it. The act of setting a pot on fire serves as a symbolic representation of impending judgment. The use of a parable is an essential prophetic tool. It allows the message to engage the audience visually and mentally, making the seriousness of the impending events more palpable. Palpable. Yeah, okay, the hang on you see here, I'm going to go deeper analysis, all right, because it does offer a deeper analysis here. Okay, okay, here we go AI for the Bible Memory app and Ezekuel twenty four to three. The imagery of the pot being set on fire is far more than a simple visual.

52:34 The pot represents Jerusalem, the supposed secure and protected city, and ancient Middle Eastern culture, a pot was a household item used to prepare meals, often symbolizing nourishment, security, and provision. However, as the parable develops throughout this chapter, the pot becomes a place of destruction. It will not preserve its contents, but will instead cook them to ruin. The pot, once a source of comfort, is now an instrument of judgment, symbolizing how the cities perceived strength and protection fell under God's righteous judgment. So Bible Memory, AI and chat Gpt all seem to agree the pot represents Jerusalem. Both seem to agree with that. Now, I don't think either one really talks about the water. And he didn't talk about the water Let's see if he goes back and breaks these parts down, or if he just goes for what's the overall message here, Let's see what happens here. But you already notice Ai is providing great detail, great detail, breaking it down little, almost every part of this.

53:43 And so he's to take and burn also the bones under it, and make it boil well, and let them seethe the bones of it therein. So there's a picture here that God is painting for the nation of Israel. In this pair of he's showing them the nature of the people. As we'll see in the next point, that he's using this illustration of the pot with water in it, and of the choice portions of meat that are put in there to boil. But as we see that, they're put in there to boil until the water is all boiled off, and then even as we see further, the pot itself is melted down with the heat of the fire.

54:37 So God is showing a picture here how that the nation of Judah had been blessed by God. And even when the Babylonians came against them, Judah was not in a place where they were bankrupt. They were not in a place where the people were all famished. Although we know that in the time I'm Zedekiah that Babylon and camped against Jerusalem and starved them out. But they still, even though they were starved out, they weren't all at the point of dropping dead. But the point that God is making here is that he had blessed the nation of Judah, and yet they had rejected him, as he says in verse three, the rebellious house. They had rejected him, and they were going to be punished now, and there was not going to be any discretion on the part of the Babylonians as to who they would punish. They didn't just kill the lame and the cripple, but they killed some of the better people, better in the sense of healthy people, and they took some of the better people captive. Daniel and his three friends. Ezekiel also was a captive in Babylon while he's writing this. So there

56:10 was a danger here that the nation of Judah was not paying attention to They were not listening to the men that God had sent them to speak against them, to warn them of the wickedness of their hearts. And so God was going to use this parable to show them further what he was doing. So the third point we have is the meaning of this parable. What is. Okay, He's going right to the meaning, so he's not really going to break it down much. I'm not saying that that's necessarily wrong. I think that you if you're going to try to equip people, you got to let him know the way different things may interpret. Almost at least two different AI programs are like, Hey, the pot is Jerusalem. I asked chat GPT about the water. Here's what chat GPT said. The water and the Bible memory app.

57:08 There're a artificial intelligence. You can't chat with it. You just click on basically deeper analysis or intelligence, and it just breaks. It just gives you what it gives you. You can't have a discussion with it. Chat GPT obviously I can, which makes it great for hermeneutical work. Right, But here we go. This is what AI said. The water poured into the pot in Ezequel twenty four three through five is part of the parable, symbolizing Jerusalem and the judgment God is bringing upon it. The water represents the environment which the pieces of meat the inhabitants of Jerusalem are placed and subject to boiling. Here's a closer look at its symbolic meaning preparation for judgment. The water is poured into the pot to boil the meat, symbolizing the process of judgment that God is initiating against Jerusalem.

57:55 Just as water is necessary for cooking meat, the water represents the context or conditions that will facilitate the execution of divine judgment. So the pot is Jerusalem, the things put in there, that's the people, and then the water is really all the conditions and everything that is necessary to bring about this judgment. The water could represent the siege and the suffering that the people of Jerusalem will endure. The boiling process parallels the increasing intensity of God's judgment as the city is besieged, its inhabitants suffer, and ultimately the city is destroyed. The act of pouring water into the pot demonstrates God's control over the situation. He is the one initiating and overseeing the process of judgment, emphasizing that the events to come are not random, but are orchestrated by God and response to his people's sin. The parable as a whole uses the pot and its contents water, meat, and bones to depict the city of Jerusalem and its people.

58:55 The water helps to draw out impurities the scum from the meats, symbolizing how the judgment will expose and deal with the sin and corruption of the people. The boiling water also emphasizes the the inescapable nature of judgment. Just as the water surrounds and cooks the meat, the siege of Jerusalem would envelop the city, leaving no one untouched by the consequences of their rebellion. The idea of water symbolizing judgment or a purifying process is seen in Isaiah one twenty five Malachi three two through three. These passages resonate with imagery in Ezekuel twenty four, where the boiling water serves to expose and purge the sins of the people.

59:35 The water poured into the pot represents the conditions of God's judgment upon Jerusalem. It symbolizes the environment in which the people's sins will be exposed and dealt with, emphasizing God's sovereignty and the end the inevitability of divine justice. Now see how much AI provided there, And it provided that to me in about five seconds. Now, the sermon didn't bother to go into any of this, all right, I kind of talked about the bones a little bit, but it didn't really, it didn't break any of it down. Now that's okay, because a pastor could say, look, we could break this down, but there's all kinds of interpretations. What is the meaning? Now he goes directly to the meaning.

1:00:15 So let's see what he says. The meaning is here, because this is really if everyone ends up to the right, if everyone ends up to the same answer on what it means, that's the most important thing. So let's see what happens. Is this parable all about in verse six? Wherefore, thus say it the Lord God. So there we see again, Lord God, Lord, aDNA, God Jehovah, woe to the bloody city, to the pot whose scum is therein and whose scum is not gone out of it? Bring it out piece by piece, let no lot fall upon it. Now, it's interesting as we see that word blood and bloody here in these next verses, God taught the nation of Israel, and he taught all the way back to Adam, and Adam and Eve sinned that God killed an animal, shed the blood of an animal in order to provide a coat for Adam and Eve. And the blood and the sacrifices of blood sacrifices that God taught Adam and Eve and also Noah, and also the nation of Israel. Those blood sacrifices were to make an atonement for the sins of the people. The word atonement means a covering. And so as the people were to bring their animals and give them to the priest, and the priest was to

1:01:48 kill them and put the flesh of the animal on the brazen altar, and the blood was to be taken and sprinkled, and once a year taken into the holiest place and sprinkled on the mercy seat there. And that was for an atonement for the sins of the people. But here we see that the city is guilty of shedding blood, and the blood is not a covering for them, but it's condemning them because of their rebellion. So woe to the bloody city. To the pot whose scum is therein and whose scum is not gone out of it, bring it out piece by piece, let it not, let no lot fall upon it. Now, the word scum, the Hebrew word translated as scum there means disease or rust.

1:02:47 So it's talking about impurities and the scum that comes when you boil the meat and the bones. That's scum, that's the impurities that's coming out of the bones and out of the blood, and that is normally scooped off and thrown away. But it tells us here that they're not supposed to let the scum fall, no lot fall upon it. Verse seven. For her blood is in the midst of her She set it upon the top of a rock. She poured it, not upon the ground to cover it with dust. So here the point is that God is making is that the blood Normally, if you want to, like Cain tried to when he killed his brother, and God says his blood is crying out from the ground.

1:03:46 But here it says that the blood is on the rock, and it's not on the ground where the dust can cover it. So the sin of Judah here is exposed, and there's no covering for it. So as I mentioned before, and the blood of the animal was to be for an atonement for the sin of the people, but they were not making an atonement to God. They were sacrificing to idols. And so the blood was upon the top of a rock. And of course the rock is not porous it's not going to let the blood soak in. And so the nation of Israel couldn't hide their sin.

1:04:28 They were guilty. They couldn't hide it. They couldn't cover it up because it's on a rock. Then in verse eight it says that it might cause fury to come up to take vengeance. I have set her blood upon the top of a rock that it should not be covered. So God here is intentionally exposing the sin of Judah. He does a little bit of work on verse seven. There's a lot there not to work on, so artificial intelligence breaks it down this way. This is chat gpt the blood. It says this verse Ezequel twenty four to seven.

1:05:15 Let me go here, It just all right. Here we go this Ezekuel twenty four to seven. This verse uses vivid imagery to describe the guilt of Jerusalem personified as she, and it's unrepentant, and it's unrepentant shedding of innocent blood. The verse emphasizes how the city sins, particular acts of violence and injustice, are exposed and unhidden before God. The blood she had shed in her mist The phrase refers to the guilt of Jerusalem for acts of violence oppression and shedding innocent blood in her myths indicates that these sins are not hidden or isolated, but are pervasive throughout the city. She put it on a bare rock. This suggests that Jerusalem has made no effort to hide or it sins. And ancient times, blood from sacrifices or killing was often poured on the ground and covered with dust as a symbolic act of atonement or burial. You can read about this in Leviticus chapter seventeen. So now Ai provides us greater context and an understanding that typically had been poured on the ground and covered with dust as a symbol of atonement. Now he mentioned it a little bit.

1:06:24 I didn't go in any great detail, but he gave us a little bit here. By placing the blood on bare rock, the city openly displays its guilt, making it impossible to conceal. She did not pour it on the ground to cover it with dust. Covering blood with dust was a way of showing respect for life and acknowledging guilt or seeking atonement. And then he did make a reference to Genesis four, which Ai does and livid and Leviticus seventeen thirteen. The refusal to cover. The blood symbolizes Jerusalem's blatant disregard for justice, repentance, or respect for life. Right, So there we have it, and it offers some cross references. There So AI provides obviously greater detail, summarizes it, breaks it down in very specific individual parts. Once again, AI is doing far more than the sermon and making it abundantly clear.

1:07:23 Now, as we've said, God would want to forgive them, He would want to provide that mercy toward them so that they could continue to serve him. But they were not interested in serving him. They were going their own way. They were intent on defiling the True God and going their own way. And so God says that it might cause fury to come up to take vengeance. I have set her blood upon the top of a rock, and it should not be covered verse nine. Therefore, thus say it the Lord God, woe to the bloody city. I will even make the pile for fire great. When God pronounces a whoa, it's not a good thing.

1:08:21 Now when you consider the structure of the sermon, the whole first part, that introduction about Canada and media and Israel and God, none of that has anything to do with anything that came after. The introduction was a complete disconnect from what came after. It didn't even really lead you into it really in any way, shape or form. So but now, because we're already over an hour, then let's just have Ai just give us what's the parable about. Here's what Ai says. The parable of the bowling pot in Ezekul twenty four symbolizes God's judgment on Jerusalem for its persistent sin and rebellion. Here is the core message. Number one, Jerusalem corruption exposed. The pot represents Jerusalem and the meat and bones inside symbolize its inhabitants. The scum or filth refers to the moral and spiritual corruption of the people, which cannot be cleansed through ordinary means. The city's sins, including violence, idolatry, and justice, are so pervasive that they have become inseparable from its identity. Number two, the inevitability of judgment. The bulling of the pot and the burning of its contents represent the siege and destruction of Jerusalem by the Babylonians. Just as the bulling water draws out impurities, God's judgment exposes and purges the city's sins.

1:09:35 The fire intensifies consuming even the pot itself, showing that nothing will escape God's wrath, including the city itself. Number three the finality of God's judgment. God declares that the judgment is irrevocable. Despite his previous attempts to cleanse and correct the people, they refuse to repent. Now the time for mercy has passed and the consequences of the rebellion are unavoidable. Number four Accountability for sin. The Parable emphasizes that jerusalem suffering is the result of its own actions. The people's unrepentant sin and rejection of God's warnings have brought about their downfall. What are the key themes? God's sovereignty. God is in control of the judgment, orchestrating events to fulfill his purpose human responsibility. The people are held accountable for their sins and rebellion, justice and purification. The judgment is not arbitrary, but serves to expose and deal with sin.

1:10:28 What is the takeaway? The Parable warns of the consequences of persistent sin and unrepentance. It illustrates the holiness of God, the seriousness of sin, and the inevitability of divine justice when mercy is rejected. It serves as a call to repentance and a reminder that God's patience has limits. There Ai broke the entire thing down for you, so you understand it all in a clear, concise way. There we go. I'll just let him speak a little bit more and then you can compare and contrast. And we didn't even get to everything the Ai did. I mean, I've got pages of notes here what Aai did. I was just picking and choosing different parts, trying to put it in context with the sermon, and going back and forth. But if I was to take everything Ai did within seconds, it would have given me. It would have given me everything I could have ever wanted to know about Ezekiel twenty four. And it even gives me things to study further.

1:11:37 It offers me discussion, discussion questions, It gives me all possible problem. It goes through everything. God knows what he's doing. He wanted He raised up the nation of Israel to serve him, to glorify him, to be a light to the nations around that the nations around would see the importance of turning to the true God, trusting in the true God, and forsaking their idols. Did God raise up Israel to be this perfect example to all the other nations. If you ask me, he raised up Israel to be a perfect example of man's inability to keep the law. Israel's the perfect example of we can't keep the law. We can't, we fall short, we spend our life condemned by the law. But we could get into a theological discussion there, well, we could get into a big discussion here. All right, let's see here.

1:12:42 I'll let him continue. I'll let him Continue'll let him continue. But Israel had chosen to abandon the true God, and they chose to take the idols of the pagan nations around them. So God says here that he's going to make a pile for fire. Great. Now, if you've been paying attention to the news, you know that California right now, I think its Los Angeles, California is on fire. The area that's burning right now is the area where the wealthy, wealthy of the wealthy live, and the people there, many of them, are very immoral, very pagan, and there houses many houses have burned down already, many businesses have burned down.

1:13:35 One of the reasons for these fires that they're having there. The news is telling us that they haven't had rain there since last summer. I think they said, but one of the reasons that they're having the fires is because the governor of California, mister Newsom, has refused to allow them to direct the rain water that comes to direct it so that it will come and flow and water that particular area of California. There's a lot of rainwater, a lot of it is going straight into the ocean instead of being directed to flow through that area and provide water for the trees and whatever else. And so it's very dry. So that makes for good firewood to make a good fire.

1:14:28 Okay, now he's making another claim. I don't know what this has to do with Ezekiel twenty four. Hey, I said wildfires in California are primarily caused by a combination of factors, including drought, climate change, human activity. The claim that Governor Knwsom's policies on rainwater management are a primary cause lacks evidence and oversimplifies a complex issue. Additionally, the assertion about rainwater being directed to prevent fires is not a standard wildfire prevention method. So once again he's making claims, making accus Now maybe he's right. Maybe Ai is incorrect. But the point is, you see what happens at the beginning of the sermon, and now here in the middle he's making accusations and claims which, if not correct, he's bearing false witness. That's a sin, ladies and gentlemen, and eli that it's pulling. Now is he going to get this wildfire stuff? Back to ezequel twenty four? Let's see.

1:15:25 Personally, I believe that California has been for years already under God's judgment. It's one of the more wicked states in the United States. It's Hollywood being there and promoting a lot of wickedness, and a lot of new age and ocultic stuff goes on in that state. And I believe that this is just another step of the destruction of the United States. So the fires are a judgment. Hey, guys, your house is burning down because God is judging you because you're pagan.

1:16:05 Now what happens when the storms hit in a area where it's not the wealthy pagans but it's the poor believers? I mean what happens? I mean, I mean, how many reports do I need to get about storms here, floods here, tornadoes here? Are they being I can't stand this, like, if anything bad happens, oh, God's judging them. Well, bad things happened over here, is God judging them? And who are you to speak about who God is judging? Do you have some insight? Again making absolute dogmatic accusations, This is what AI has to say. Linking the fires to perceived in morality or paganism lacks evidence and it's completely speculative.

1:16:58 And not only that, you could be bearing false witness. How many times in storms churches are burnt to the ground. I mean right here, I've seen it right here in the local area where wildfires have burned the houses down of Christians, have burned down churches. I've seen where tornadoes have destroyed churches. Is that God's judgment upon the church? Isn't that the same mistake Job's friends made. Well, you had to have done something wrong for this bad stuff to. Happen because of their wickedness. So we'll see what they do with this afterwards. But there's a lot of houses burned up. They showed this today. The people were fleeing in their vehicles and for some reason they stopped driving their vehicles, and the road was the main highway was blocked so emergency vehicles couldn't get through, and so they brought a bulldozer in because of people had stopped driving and got out of their vehicles. Ran. I don't know what the point of that would be, why you wouldn't drive out of the fire area, but they abandoned their vehicles, so they had this bulldozer there pushing the vehicles off the road so that the emergency vehicles could get through.

1:18:19 But that's what happens. When lost people get into a state like that, they panic. Lost people panic. Christians don't. When Christians are faced with I'm a large tragedy, a catastrophe, they never pan. Just lost people panic what. Oh man, And they don't think rationally, and they don't realize the danger they're putting others into by their irrational thinking. So in verse ten, it says heap. On, I'm just gonna stop that is oh man. Yeah, lost people they're just irrational and panic and they can't handle difficulties. But Christians, of course, we're always rational, always never have a problem. Oh give me, okay, nothing has nothing to do You see why AI wins every single time.

1:19:19 AI would have not have added any of that to the text, would not put any of that in the text, would not have made false accusations born false witness. You just heard a sermon where basically you heard sin and a sermon, and all of that did what detract from Ezekiel twenty four. This is why I keep saying AI is better than sermons. Preachers, We, including me, we say things not accurately. We put our opinions in. We add subjective judgment. We sin because we are sinners, so our sin manifests itself and our preaching either we are judging, we're condemning, we're accusing, we are showing self righteousness. That's what we'd including me. AI doesn't do any of that.

1:20:11 AI will just break down the text, break down the parable, and if I need extra clarification, AI will give. It to me in five seconds if I need any extra clarification. So we've done three. Really, we did two sermons where we just had AI analyze them and we solve the problems. This is a third. The third one we actually listened to while comparing it to what AI was doing with it, we didn't even really get into everything AI was I wasn't even able to cover everything AI was doing because I had to spend so much time dealing with this other nonsense. So far, AI's won every single time. And if you compare my sermons to AI, AI would win every single time. If you compare AI to any broadcast I do, AI would win every single time.

1:21:21 AI can be concise. Now there is AI gonna make mistakes. Yes, there are gonna be problems, yes, based on whatever whatever it's accessing, whatever information it has. AI did not know that the Prime Minister of Canada had resigned, or at least no, I'm sorry AI did not say that. AI said that the transcript provided no evidence of which that is true. I mean he made all kinds of claims and provided no evidence of AI was more calling out that it made claims without and it stated something was illegal when it was okay, all the different things that it did. So I could have asked AI if it knows if the Prime Minister of Canada has stepped down, And I don't know if he can access that information right now, but it probably can.

1:22:07 In fact, I'll just see, has the Prime Minister of Canada step down. Resigned? Yes? Okay? So uh? Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced his resignation on January the sixth, twenty twenty five, he stated that he would step down as both the leader of the Liberal Party and and as the Prime Minister once a new leader has chosen. This decision follows a period of declining public support and internal challenges within his party. And then it gives me. He starts giving me all the sources BBC, Politico, Financial Times, the New Yorker gives me all kinds of different sources. So yes, so AI knows that as well.

1:23:01 So there you have it. I don't know what to do. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know what do we do with this? I mean, what what does this mean for the future of preaching? What does it mean? Like, I know, we're only in January the ninth, and we've kind of just this has just became the we I hadn't know. I didn't know where we were going in twenty twenty five, all right, I didn't know, but just already early What what I mean, what conclusion can you come to? What's the point of sermons, ladies and gentlemen. I mean, look at all the things that happened in that sermon that I mean, like, if I believe it crossed the line into bearing false witness you can choose, and then making an accusation that, hey, in a minute, all these people got out of the car and ran because they're lost. Because lost people just panic. Lost people do irrational things, and the face of tragedy. I mean, that isn't that is so like I don't even have words for that. I found myself in some crazy situations in the military and sometimes with Christians, and they didn't always handle themselves in rational ways. That come on, now, that's just redoub oh man, oh man. I mean, we've

1:24:32 done three sermons, ladies and gentlemen, We've only just done three, and look what has happened. And then all three AI pointed out factual errors, just incorrect statement three for three. And I mean AI right now, AI three humans zero, AI three sermons zero. If we keep going on this direction by the time we reach the end of twenty twenty five, I'm not even I don't even I don't even know how long I can go before I just like I give up. I don't know, I don't even know what to I don't even know what to say, so I just will stop. Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for listening everyone have a great evening. The end
