1
00:00:02.160 --> 00:00:05.879
Looking at our world from a theological perspective. This is

2
00:00:05.919 --> 00:00:09.759
the Theology Central podcast making Theology Central.

3
00:00:11.960 --> 00:00:13.279
Good morning everyone.

4
00:00:13.560 --> 00:00:18.679
It is Wednesday, January eighth, twenty twenty five. It is

5
00:00:18.800 --> 00:00:22.719
currently ten three am Central Time, and I am coming

6
00:00:22.760 --> 00:00:27.120
to you live from the Theology Central studio located right.

7
00:00:27.039 --> 00:00:29.320
Here in Abilene, Texas.

8
00:00:29.440 --> 00:00:31.000
I don't know if you could hear me picking up

9
00:00:31.039 --> 00:00:33.840
things as I was giving you the introduction, but I

10
00:00:33.920 --> 00:00:38.399
have here in my hands an iPad. I have right

11
00:00:38.439 --> 00:00:42.119
here next to me an actual physical Bible. I have

12
00:00:42.200 --> 00:00:48.000
a notebook. I have a pencil. So I've got technology.

13
00:00:48.159 --> 00:00:53.640
I've got kind of the old technology. I've got physical things,

14
00:00:53.920 --> 00:00:56.079
so I have a little mixture of things going on here.

15
00:00:56.439 --> 00:01:00.240
All but everything we are about to do is all about.

16
00:01:00.119 --> 00:01:03.679
Moving into the future and how the future is going

17
00:01:03.719 --> 00:01:08.079
to be greatly shaped by a very important piece of technology.

18
00:01:08.599 --> 00:01:12.239
Whether you like it or not, it is here. And

19
00:01:12.280 --> 00:01:16.280
we started talking about this last Sunday. I spent two

20
00:01:16.480 --> 00:01:21.400
plus hours on Sunday talking about artificial intelligence and how

21
00:01:21.439 --> 00:01:26.400
I believe it's going to have a profound impact on Christianity,

22
00:01:26.719 --> 00:01:31.159
on religion in general in some ways. I mean, I

23
00:01:31.239 --> 00:01:35.319
was pretty bold in my assessment, and I know some

24
00:01:35.359 --> 00:01:38.680
people probably didn't necessarily like it. I believe AI has

25
00:01:38.719 --> 00:01:42.599
reached a point where it really makes the church. It

26
00:01:42.640 --> 00:01:49.000
makes pastors, Bible teachers, even those of us doing theological

27
00:01:49.079 --> 00:01:53.359
podcast it makes us completely irrelevant. You don't need a pastor,

28
00:01:53.560 --> 00:01:56.120
you don't need a church, you don't need a Christian

29
00:01:56.200 --> 00:01:59.560
podcast because of what AI can do. Now, I know

30
00:01:59.640 --> 00:02:03.719
that's a major statement. And on Sunday, I spent what

31
00:02:04.280 --> 00:02:07.040
you know, two hours and some cases trying to outline

32
00:02:07.079 --> 00:02:10.840
and explain what AI can do and what was fascinating

33
00:02:10.879 --> 00:02:12.919
about how those two hours went, and you can go

34
00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:15.719
back and listen to those messages. In fact, we've created

35
00:02:15.759 --> 00:02:18.680
an entire series on AI and the future of the

36
00:02:18.759 --> 00:02:21.960
Church because we're gonna be talking about artificial intelligence all

37
00:02:22.000 --> 00:02:22.960
of twenty twenty five.

38
00:02:23.199 --> 00:02:24.439
We're gonna be talking about.

39
00:02:24.199 --> 00:02:26.680
It over and over and over again, and we're gonna

40
00:02:26.719 --> 00:02:30.560
be utilizing it frequently, and I'm going to do my

41
00:02:30.680 --> 00:02:33.199
very best to teach you how to use it, because

42
00:02:33.240 --> 00:02:34.000
I think that's.

43
00:02:33.840 --> 00:02:35.159
Going to become really.

44
00:02:36.360 --> 00:02:39.039
The role of the church is really now teaching people

45
00:02:39.080 --> 00:02:41.800
how to utilize this tool, because the tool is not

46
00:02:41.919 --> 00:02:44.560
going away, So you really I think it's almost now

47
00:02:44.840 --> 00:02:48.080
you've got discipleship is going to be saying, hey, here's

48
00:02:48.080 --> 00:02:50.919
how to utilize AI in your Christian life. I think

49
00:02:50.919 --> 00:02:52.719
it's really what it's going to become. I know that

50
00:02:52.759 --> 00:02:55.919
sounds far fetched and crazy, but I really do believe that.

51
00:02:57.039 --> 00:02:59.919
What so I did my very best to try to

52
00:03:00.319 --> 00:03:02.000
explain that. But what I was going to say is,

53
00:03:02.039 --> 00:03:05.879
at the end of the second hour, what was fascinating

54
00:03:06.439 --> 00:03:09.800
is something happened that kind of proved my entire point,

55
00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:12.800
right because I talked about it as I was wrapping

56
00:03:12.800 --> 00:03:14.879
everything up, I said, Okay, next week we get back

57
00:03:14.879 --> 00:03:17.719
to Isaiah forty and I think starting in verse eight

58
00:03:17.759 --> 00:03:21.400
and following, and what did someone do? Someone in the

59
00:03:21.439 --> 00:03:25.919
congregation took their phone, used AI and within like five

60
00:03:26.120 --> 00:03:31.120
seconds ten seconds, already had a summary and an analysis

61
00:03:31.560 --> 00:03:34.520
of that entire section of Isaiah forty right there on

62
00:03:34.560 --> 00:03:37.159
their phone. They just typed in Isaiah forty book basically

63
00:03:37.199 --> 00:03:40.319
analyzed Isaiah forty eight through following, and they had it

64
00:03:40.400 --> 00:03:42.039
right there, right there on their phone.

65
00:03:42.199 --> 00:03:44.360
They why even show up to church next week?

66
00:03:44.400 --> 00:03:48.080
They already have a complete They can depending on how

67
00:03:48.919 --> 00:03:51.080
in depth they want to go, they can have a

68
00:03:51.199 --> 00:03:56.680
full exegetical study right there, typed out by AI without

69
00:03:56.680 --> 00:03:57.879
ever even coming to church.

70
00:03:58.000 --> 00:03:59.479
By the they could get in.

71
00:03:59.439 --> 00:04:01.520
Their car, by the time they arrive at church, they

72
00:04:01.560 --> 00:04:06.000
could already have a complete exegetical study of that section

73
00:04:06.080 --> 00:04:09.159
of scripture in their hand, right there on their phone.

74
00:04:09.840 --> 00:04:12.599
So I love the fact that that happened at the

75
00:04:12.719 --> 00:04:16.600
end because it kind of proved my point. So we

76
00:04:17.360 --> 00:04:19.360
are going to continue to talk about this. We're going

77
00:04:19.399 --> 00:04:21.439
to continue to try to figure this out and what

78
00:04:21.439 --> 00:04:24.199
we're going to do in this hour, hour, hour and

79
00:04:24.240 --> 00:04:27.439
a half, however how long this takes, this is gonna

80
00:04:27.439 --> 00:04:31.560
get this. We're gonna dry something in real time. I

81
00:04:31.600 --> 00:04:35.879
have done no prep beforehand. I know what I want

82
00:04:35.920 --> 00:04:38.959
to do, but I'm going to be walking through this

83
00:04:39.120 --> 00:04:43.040
with you in real time, so just please be patient.

84
00:04:43.040 --> 00:04:46.319
There may be some some technical glitches here. There may

85
00:04:46.360 --> 00:04:49.959
be some some difficulties here. Things may not work smoothly.

86
00:04:50.240 --> 00:04:53.360
There may be some moments of dead air. I know

87
00:04:53.399 --> 00:04:56.720
as a broadcaster you never want dead air, but there may.

88
00:04:56.560 --> 00:04:57.560
Be a little bit of that.

89
00:04:57.879 --> 00:05:00.480
But hopefully this goes smoothly and hopefully you find it

90
00:05:00.560 --> 00:05:02.800
to be fascinating and beneficial.

91
00:05:02.839 --> 00:05:03.959
So here's what we're going to do.

92
00:05:05.279 --> 00:05:10.560
I'm going to demonstrate to you the abilities of artificial

93
00:05:10.680 --> 00:05:18.560
intelligence to analyze a sermon within seconds and be able

94
00:05:18.600 --> 00:05:21.920
to point out some very specific things in sermons.

95
00:05:21.920 --> 00:05:23.199
So this is what I'm going to do.

96
00:05:23.800 --> 00:05:27.000
I'm gonna be going to the sermon audio website sermon

97
00:05:27.040 --> 00:05:30.920
audio dot com. I'm gonna click on the tab for sermons.

98
00:05:31.720 --> 00:05:34.759
Then i'm gonna click on the tab for newest sermons.

99
00:05:35.600 --> 00:05:38.720
I'm going to start choosing a sermon. I'm gonna choose

100
00:05:38.720 --> 00:05:42.360
a sermon randomly, and then I'm going to go to

101
00:05:42.399 --> 00:05:45.680
it where and then I'm gonna walk you through the process. Ultimately,

102
00:05:45.720 --> 00:05:50.720
i'm gonna download the transcript of that sermon and then

103
00:05:50.720 --> 00:05:55.680
i'm gonna upload that transcript to AI. I'm gonna ask

104
00:05:55.800 --> 00:06:00.000
AI to analyze it and look for specific things. Then

105
00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:02.920
when it's going to give me its analysis, and then

106
00:06:02.959 --> 00:06:05.560
I'm going to walk you through the analysis because i want.

107
00:06:05.360 --> 00:06:07.560
You to see how quickly AI.

108
00:06:07.399 --> 00:06:10.480
Can do this, and then you can determine what this

109
00:06:10.600 --> 00:06:14.519
means for preaching and sermons and the church moving forward.

110
00:06:14.720 --> 00:06:16.399
All right, this is awesome.

111
00:06:16.439 --> 00:06:19.959
So here's here's what I'm going to be utilizing. I

112
00:06:19.959 --> 00:06:22.720
have an iPad, so I'm going to be using the

113
00:06:22.839 --> 00:06:28.040
sermon audio website and iPad. I will download the sermon

114
00:06:28.160 --> 00:06:29.959
transcript to files.

115
00:06:30.800 --> 00:06:31.560
Then I'm going to.

116
00:06:31.519 --> 00:06:37.639
Open up chat GPT, upload the file to chat GPT,

117
00:06:37.680 --> 00:06:39.800
and then I'm going to ask it to look for

118
00:06:40.040 --> 00:06:41.519
very specific things.

119
00:06:42.120 --> 00:06:43.120
Then when when I'm going.

120
00:06:43.120 --> 00:06:46.560
To walk you through its response, then I may ask

121
00:06:46.720 --> 00:06:48.879
follow up questions or I may ask it to do

122
00:06:48.959 --> 00:06:52.079
something else. And I want you to just see how

123
00:06:52.199 --> 00:06:56.120
quickly it can do this and how I think transform.

124
00:06:56.160 --> 00:06:59.079
I mean, it's going to change, it should change everything.

125
00:06:59.120 --> 00:07:02.279
You may you may agree, but we're gonna see this now. Again,

126
00:07:02.439 --> 00:07:04.560
we're doing this in real time. I could have done

127
00:07:04.600 --> 00:07:06.759
all of this in advance and have it all ready

128
00:07:06.759 --> 00:07:10.560
to go, but that would defeat the purpose. The purpose here,

129
00:07:10.800 --> 00:07:15.720
I really believe Christian podcasters and the church we're going

130
00:07:15.759 --> 00:07:18.120
to have to You can try to fight it, you

131
00:07:18.120 --> 00:07:19.199
can try to push back.

132
00:07:19.439 --> 00:07:20.399
AI is here.

133
00:07:20.480 --> 00:07:23.160
It's not going away. It's not a fad. It's here

134
00:07:23.199 --> 00:07:25.720
to stay. You're just going to have to accept that.

135
00:07:26.120 --> 00:07:28.000
You can try to reject it. You can try to deny,

136
00:07:28.040 --> 00:07:29.800
you can try to push back, you can you can.

137
00:07:30.160 --> 00:07:34.199
It's here, So whether you can reject it or you

138
00:07:34.240 --> 00:07:36.120
can say, well, then what do we do with this?

139
00:07:36.160 --> 00:07:38.439
And here is one thing that can be done with it.

140
00:07:38.560 --> 00:07:40.079
And I don't know if a lot of preachers are

141
00:07:40.120 --> 00:07:42.680
going to necessarily like this. I think a lot of

142
00:07:42.680 --> 00:07:44.680
pastors are really going to hate this.

143
00:07:44.800 --> 00:07:46.759
All right, so are you ready? Here we go.

144
00:07:46.839 --> 00:07:50.199
So I'm going to first, I'm gonna unplug my iPad

145
00:07:50.240 --> 00:07:53.600
because I had it charging, because you know, my iPad

146
00:07:53.639 --> 00:07:55.639
was down to like, I don't know, five percent, So

147
00:07:55.759 --> 00:07:57.879
I've got it charged a little bit, so if I

148
00:07:57.920 --> 00:07:59.800
have to plug it back in, I will. So I'm

149
00:07:59.800 --> 00:08:04.959
going to sermonadio dot com. Sermonadio dot com. I'm tapping

150
00:08:04.959 --> 00:08:07.480
on sermons and I'm going gone to newest sermons. Now

151
00:08:07.480 --> 00:08:09.360
I'm gonna do a refresh here because I did have

152
00:08:09.439 --> 00:08:14.879
this open. Hang on, it's doing a refresh. Oh wow,

153
00:08:14.920 --> 00:08:17.120
and a bunch of sermons have already been added. Okay,

154
00:08:17.199 --> 00:08:22.600
so yeah, that's a whole lot of sermons just got uploaded.

155
00:08:22.639 --> 00:08:25.040
So I'm just gonna I'm gonna just go through this

156
00:08:26.839 --> 00:08:28.680
and see what we can find here.

157
00:08:28.920 --> 00:08:32.679
All right. Here's a walk to the wyse, A walk

158
00:08:32.879 --> 00:08:36.840
to the wise. I'm gonna click on it. A walk

159
00:08:36.919 --> 00:08:37.679
to the wyse.

160
00:08:39.720 --> 00:08:44.039
A walk filled with the spirit brings a life of joy, thanksgiving,

161
00:08:44.120 --> 00:08:48.799
peace with God. The biblical text is Ephesians five fifteen

162
00:08:48.879 --> 00:08:50.399
through twenty one.

163
00:08:50.720 --> 00:08:52.080
So I'm gonna come down here.

164
00:08:53.559 --> 00:08:57.639
Oh, they don't have the they don't have the transcript.

165
00:08:58.200 --> 00:09:02.639
Why do they not have their transcript availed? That's weird?

166
00:09:04.399 --> 00:09:07.320
Okay, hang on, I'm gonna do a refresher. I told

167
00:09:07.360 --> 00:09:09.639
you there was gonna be some technical glitches.

168
00:09:11.639 --> 00:09:16.759
Where is where is it? Well?

169
00:09:19.039 --> 00:09:24.120
Okay, hang on, Yeah that this is not working out

170
00:09:24.120 --> 00:09:25.120
exactly as I thought.

171
00:09:28.799 --> 00:09:31.519
Yeah, I don't know why they don't have the transcript there. Okay,

172
00:09:31.559 --> 00:09:34.960
so let me go back. I mean, don't all the

173
00:09:35.039 --> 00:09:37.879
messages have the transcript? Do they have that feature turned

174
00:09:37.919 --> 00:09:38.600
off or something?

175
00:09:39.000 --> 00:09:42.440
Okay, Sometimes you see churches not using the technology even

176
00:09:42.480 --> 00:09:45.720
available to them. Okay, here's here's one a little a

177
00:09:45.799 --> 00:09:49.799
little further farther, if I should speak correctly, Oh, this

178
00:09:49.840 --> 00:09:52.200
one has a transcript, all right, this one has no

179
00:09:52.360 --> 00:09:53.720
scripture reference given.

180
00:09:54.559 --> 00:09:55.960
See, it's okay.

181
00:09:55.960 --> 00:09:58.039
So here here's the first thing we're gonna have to Well,

182
00:09:58.080 --> 00:09:59.759
let's just go ahead and do this, all right. So

183
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:03.159
this is funny, but it's very telling. One of the

184
00:10:03.159 --> 00:10:07.080
things I get sometimes frustrated about is how far behind

185
00:10:07.240 --> 00:10:10.360
churches can be when it comes to technology and when

186
00:10:10.360 --> 00:10:14.799
it comes to different things available to them. Right, churches

187
00:10:14.840 --> 00:10:18.200
can already create podcasts, They've been able to do that forever.

188
00:10:18.399 --> 00:10:21.559
Do they do that? No? Why not? I'll never understand. Right,

189
00:10:22.000 --> 00:10:23.240
even churches who are.

190
00:10:23.120 --> 00:10:25.440
On sermon audio, then in many cases they don't even

191
00:10:25.559 --> 00:10:28.919
use the features available. For example, how many times when

192
00:10:28.960 --> 00:10:31.960
you go to a live webcast you'll look and nobody's

193
00:10:32.080 --> 00:10:34.840
using the metadata. Why would you not fill out the metadata?

194
00:10:34.879 --> 00:10:39.639
It'll just say live webcasts use the metadata. Well, in

195
00:10:39.679 --> 00:10:42.159
many cases when you can fill out the information, and

196
00:10:42.200 --> 00:10:44.720
they do fill out the information, sometimes it'll be missing

197
00:10:44.799 --> 00:10:48.759
things like scripture reference are all kinds of things, or

198
00:10:48.799 --> 00:10:53.240
in some case that one sermon didn't have the transcript.

199
00:10:53.559 --> 00:10:56.320
Why does it not have the transcript? Feature? Going like?

200
00:10:56.559 --> 00:10:57.440
What happened there?

201
00:10:57.519 --> 00:11:04.519
What utilize everything? So this one is called a little farther.

202
00:11:05.320 --> 00:11:08.000
It looks like the scripture where it typically is, it's

203
00:11:08.000 --> 00:11:10.519
not there. So above it they have Matthew twenty six.

204
00:11:10.519 --> 00:11:12.720
So I'm assuming it's gonna be in Matthew twenty six.

205
00:11:13.159 --> 00:11:16.639
They do have the raw transcript. So here's what we're

206
00:11:16.639 --> 00:11:18.159
looking for. So if you want to look at it,

207
00:11:18.200 --> 00:11:19.480
I'm gonna I'm just.

208
00:11:19.399 --> 00:11:23.440
Gonna click over here. Yeah, that works better. Okay, a

209
00:11:23.519 --> 00:11:27.600
little further farther f A R T H E R.

210
00:11:27.919 --> 00:11:29.960
This is from Gospel Baptist Church.

211
00:11:30.480 --> 00:11:32.679
All right, so this is the first one we found.

212
00:11:32.840 --> 00:11:35.399
I wanted to do that walk to the Wyse. That

213
00:11:35.399 --> 00:11:37.799
that sounded interesting. The title caught my attention.

214
00:11:38.159 --> 00:11:40.080
Maybe we'll have to just do a review of that one.

215
00:11:40.080 --> 00:11:44.879
Okay, but a little farther go down here the raw

216
00:11:44.960 --> 00:11:46.039
transcript auto.

217
00:11:46.320 --> 00:11:48.759
So I'm gonna I'm gonna click on it. I click

218
00:11:48.799 --> 00:11:49.039
on it.

219
00:11:49.080 --> 00:11:51.519
Now the iPad is asking me do you want to

220
00:11:51.679 --> 00:11:56.399
download this transcript? And I want to hit download. Okay,

221
00:11:56.440 --> 00:12:00.639
it just downloaded the transcript. Now I'm gonna go here,

222
00:12:02.399 --> 00:12:09.879
all right, I'm going to I'm gonna go here. God

223
00:12:10.120 --> 00:12:14.919
give me one second. I'm gonna open up chat GPT. Okay,

224
00:12:14.960 --> 00:12:17.720
I'm going to chat GPT. Now what I'm going to

225
00:12:17.759 --> 00:12:20.639
do is I'm gonna hit the little plus symbol.

226
00:12:23.000 --> 00:12:24.840
I'm going to go to attached files.

227
00:12:26.799 --> 00:12:30.240
There is the transcript I downloaded at ten fourteen am.

228
00:12:30.559 --> 00:12:33.960
I'm gonna hit open all right, now I'm going to

229
00:12:34.039 --> 00:12:37.360
ask AI. Here's what I'm asking AI, So you know,

230
00:12:37.679 --> 00:12:40.879
you know exactly what I'm asking for. I'm asking AI

231
00:12:41.080 --> 00:12:46.480
analyze the following sermon, summarize it and outline any factual errors,

232
00:12:46.759 --> 00:12:53.519
philological errors or inconsistencies, logical fallacies, biblical and textual errors.

233
00:12:53.919 --> 00:12:58.200
List discussion questions and things for further study based on

234
00:12:58.679 --> 00:12:59.679
this sermon.

235
00:13:01.320 --> 00:13:01.879
Sound good.

236
00:13:02.519 --> 00:13:06.039
That's that's the prompt that I have created to ask

237
00:13:06.159 --> 00:13:08.360
AI to handle a particular sermon.

238
00:13:08.360 --> 00:13:10.120
Now I could ask it to do many other things

239
00:13:10.120 --> 00:13:11.080
with the sermon.

240
00:13:10.879 --> 00:13:13.120
But that's what I've chosen to ask it to do

241
00:13:13.360 --> 00:13:16.720
in this particular case for this live demonstration.

242
00:13:16.799 --> 00:13:18.600
All right, So here.

243
00:13:18.480 --> 00:13:24.039
We go, pressing the basically the inter button. All right,

244
00:13:24.120 --> 00:13:27.679
and here is Ai. It's already it's already done. Here's

245
00:13:27.679 --> 00:13:30.679
an analysis of the sermon based on the transcript provided

246
00:13:31.279 --> 00:13:34.399
summary of the sermon. The sermon focuses on the theme

247
00:13:34.600 --> 00:13:39.919
of going a little further and faith, prayer, and obedience

248
00:13:40.000 --> 00:13:43.679
to God. Using Matthew twenty six thirty nine as the

249
00:13:43.720 --> 00:13:48.159
central text. The speaker highlights how Jesus went farther in

250
00:13:48.240 --> 00:13:52.639
the garden while the disciples slept. The message urges believers

251
00:13:52.679 --> 00:13:55.759
to go beyond the minimum in their spiritual lives by

252
00:13:55.799 --> 00:14:01.320
committing to fervent prayer and Servicebical examples are used to

253
00:14:01.360 --> 00:14:05.600
reinforce this point, such as Elijah Mount Carmel, Hannah's prayer

254
00:14:05.639 --> 00:14:09.320
for a child, and Solomon's requests for wisdom. The sermon

255
00:14:09.399 --> 00:14:14.600
also draws modern examples like George Mueller and John Hyde,

256
00:14:14.720 --> 00:14:19.320
emphasizing persistent faith and action. So go a little further.

257
00:14:19.639 --> 00:14:22.120
Come on, let's go further in our Christian life. Let's

258
00:14:22.159 --> 00:14:24.039
go further in our spiritual life. You can get the

259
00:14:24.080 --> 00:14:27.679
idea where the sermon is going. The outline of the

260
00:14:27.720 --> 00:14:31.159
sermon it offers. This is the introduction of the sermon,

261
00:14:31.440 --> 00:14:34.279
the context of Jesus prayer in the garden in Matthew

262
00:14:34.320 --> 00:14:39.159
twenty six, the disciples failure to stay awake and support Jesus.

263
00:14:39.720 --> 00:14:45.960
The phrase he went a little farther as the key focus. Okay,

264
00:14:46.000 --> 00:14:50.200
I can already see some possible problems, but okay, So

265
00:14:50.279 --> 00:14:51.120
that's the introduction.

266
00:14:51.240 --> 00:14:52.200
It gives the context.

267
00:14:52.240 --> 00:14:54.519
It talks about the disciples failures to stay awake, and

268
00:14:54.519 --> 00:14:56.799
then it takes the phrase in Matthew twenty six that

269
00:14:57.200 --> 00:15:00.120
he went a little farther. Now it's going to take

270
00:15:00.159 --> 00:15:02.919
that phrase and then then turn it into Yeah, we

271
00:15:03.200 --> 00:15:05.879
could have a long discussion here right number two. So

272
00:15:06.000 --> 00:15:08.240
the second thing is the biblical examples of going a

273
00:15:08.240 --> 00:15:12.080
little farther. Hannah's prayer and First Samuel one persistent prayer

274
00:15:12.159 --> 00:15:16.240
for a child, Elijah Mount Carmel bold prayer for fire

275
00:15:16.279 --> 00:15:20.840
from heaven, Solomon asking for wisdom instead of riches, Jabez's

276
00:15:20.879 --> 00:15:26.240
prayer requests for blessing and enlargement, Hezekiah praying for extension

277
00:15:26.399 --> 00:15:29.240
of life in Second King's twenty. These are all people

278
00:15:29.240 --> 00:15:34.440
who went a little further. That's that's the idea being

279
00:15:34.480 --> 00:15:35.159
presented here.

280
00:15:35.320 --> 00:15:37.000
Right. Number three.

281
00:15:38.159 --> 00:15:42.279
Historical examples of going a little farther. George Mueller prayed

282
00:15:42.320 --> 00:15:46.000
for provision for orphans. John Hyde, known for his prayer,

283
00:15:46.039 --> 00:15:51.399
life and ministry in India. Number four application and challenge,

284
00:15:51.840 --> 00:15:56.799
encouragement to pray persistently and fervently, importance of alliging, aligning

285
00:15:56.879 --> 00:16:01.360
actions with faith, treating others with kindness and generosity, not

286
00:16:01.840 --> 00:16:03.559
just offering words.

287
00:16:04.120 --> 00:16:06.759
So that's kind of the outline of the sermon.

288
00:16:06.960 --> 00:16:10.600
So within literally seconds, it gave me the entire outline

289
00:16:10.639 --> 00:16:13.120
of the sermon, gave me an entire summary of the sermon.

290
00:16:13.200 --> 00:16:14.879
I already know what that sermon about. I don't even

291
00:16:14.919 --> 00:16:15.600
have to listen to it.

292
00:16:15.639 --> 00:16:18.799
Within seconds, I have it all broken completely down for me,

293
00:16:18.919 --> 00:16:21.320
a completely now.

294
00:16:21.440 --> 00:16:23.159
I was if I was looking.

295
00:16:23.360 --> 00:16:25.039
If a pastor was trying to come up with an

296
00:16:25.080 --> 00:16:27.720
idea for a sermon, he could already take this. It's

297
00:16:27.720 --> 00:16:31.120
already broken down for him. He can modify change a

298
00:16:31.159 --> 00:16:33.879
little bit here it already have his sermon within seconds.

299
00:16:33.919 --> 00:16:36.720
And don't think pastors won't use it this way. They

300
00:16:36.759 --> 00:16:39.600
will because pastors have been using commentaries to build their

301
00:16:39.639 --> 00:16:42.440
sermons forever, so they're going to use this, all right.

302
00:16:42.519 --> 00:16:45.120
So there's the breakdown.

303
00:16:45.279 --> 00:16:48.919
Now, I could already start analyzing that breakdown and start

304
00:16:48.960 --> 00:16:51.679
pointing out some possible problems, but we won't go into that.

305
00:16:52.200 --> 00:16:57.519
So then AI says, here's some factual and philological possible problems.

306
00:16:57.600 --> 00:17:03.200
Number one contextual misrep presentation. The claim that the disciples

307
00:17:03.240 --> 00:17:06.119
could see the garden from the upper room is likely

308
00:17:06.200 --> 00:17:10.519
incorrect based on historical geography. The upper room was likely

309
00:17:10.559 --> 00:17:13.319
in Jerusalem. Well, the garden of the enemy was across

310
00:17:13.319 --> 00:17:16.680
the Kidron Valley, all right. So in the sermon, there's

311
00:17:16.680 --> 00:17:18.680
the claim that the disciples could see the garden from

312
00:17:18.720 --> 00:17:19.359
the upper room.

313
00:17:19.799 --> 00:17:21.200
That's a claim made in the sermon.

314
00:17:21.319 --> 00:17:23.640
HEYI, I immediately is like, wait a minute, this is

315
00:17:24.599 --> 00:17:28.960
possibly not correct. In fact, it's likely incorrect because the

316
00:17:29.039 --> 00:17:33.680
upper room was likely in Jerusalem. Well, the garden was

317
00:17:33.720 --> 00:17:37.799
across the kid Dron Valley. So now you may say, well,

318
00:17:37.839 --> 00:17:40.920
that's no big deal. That's a big deal because as

319
00:17:41.319 --> 00:17:43.400
in a sermon, you want to be as accurate as

320
00:17:43.440 --> 00:17:44.400
you can possibly get.

321
00:17:44.480 --> 00:17:45.480
Now, what happened?

322
00:17:45.799 --> 00:17:51.799
Most likely, most likely the pastor saw that in some

323
00:17:52.079 --> 00:17:56.640
book or from some other source. Now we would we

324
00:17:56.680 --> 00:17:59.160
would have to verify if Ai is correct here, So

325
00:17:59.200 --> 00:18:01.599
who is correct? So that's the question we would have

326
00:18:01.680 --> 00:18:04.480
to look at. Could the disciples have seen the garden

327
00:18:04.799 --> 00:18:08.279
from the upper room? Now what significance would it have made?

328
00:18:08.440 --> 00:18:10.440
Now we would have to review the sermon to hear like,

329
00:18:10.480 --> 00:18:12.799
what what was the significance of that? What was the

330
00:18:12.839 --> 00:18:15.359
point trying to be made? Maybe I'll ask Ai what

331
00:18:15.519 --> 00:18:17.839
point the sermon was trying to make about this claim?

332
00:18:18.200 --> 00:18:21.240
Maybe we'll do that here in a minute.

333
00:18:21.640 --> 00:18:24.960
Number two or well, I'm sorry, not number two.

334
00:18:25.240 --> 00:18:27.599
So the way AI breaks this down is that it

335
00:18:27.640 --> 00:18:31.759
classifies contextual misrepresentations and then it doesn't call them one

336
00:18:31.839 --> 00:18:34.799
or two, It just says number one contextual misrepresentations. And

337
00:18:34.839 --> 00:18:39.039
then the first contextual misrepresentation is the idea that the

338
00:18:39.039 --> 00:18:41.440
disciples could see the garden from the upper room. The

339
00:18:41.480 --> 00:18:44.119
next one is it is implied that the disciples should

340
00:18:44.119 --> 00:18:48.079
have volunteered to go with Jesus. However, Jesus specifically instructed

341
00:18:48.079 --> 00:18:51.039
the disciples to remain behind while he went to pray,

342
00:18:52.119 --> 00:18:54.920
So the preacher seems to imply that the disciples should

343
00:18:54.920 --> 00:18:57.599
have volunteered to go with Jesus. However, that seems to

344
00:18:57.640 --> 00:19:01.319
ignore the fact that Jesus instructed them to stay behind.

345
00:19:01.640 --> 00:19:06.240
So is that not important? I think that's important? Right

346
00:19:06.759 --> 00:19:12.359
interpretation of James two. This is the second possible factual.

347
00:19:11.839 --> 00:19:13.799
And theological issue.

348
00:19:14.079 --> 00:19:18.680
The sermon interprets James two as emphasizing works as evidence

349
00:19:18.680 --> 00:19:22.440
of faith for others to see. This is generally acceptable,

350
00:19:22.440 --> 00:19:27.319
but it leans into the common dichotomy of justification before

351
00:19:27.319 --> 00:19:31.440
men versus justification before God without fully engaging with james

352
00:19:31.440 --> 00:19:34.960
deeper theological argument. So basically what it is saying is

353
00:19:35.000 --> 00:19:37.920
the sermon goes to the Book of James, takes a verse,

354
00:19:38.400 --> 00:19:41.759
just grabs some verses, makes some claims, but it doesn't

355
00:19:41.799 --> 00:19:46.319
really go into this dichotomy of justification before men versus

356
00:19:46.400 --> 00:19:48.160
justification before God.

357
00:19:48.559 --> 00:19:50.960
So does our faith.

358
00:19:52.359 --> 00:19:54.839
Is well, we can get into a whole discussion. In

359
00:19:54.839 --> 00:19:57.519
other words, it's not dealing with the issues that the

360
00:19:57.559 --> 00:19:59.759
Book of James raises when it comes to the subject

361
00:19:59.759 --> 00:20:00.640
of justification.

362
00:20:01.960 --> 00:20:03.519
If that makes sense, all right.

363
00:20:04.200 --> 00:20:09.720
Next, simplistic assumptions about prayer results. Statements implying that fervent

364
00:20:09.759 --> 00:20:15.079
prayer always leads to miraculous outcomes healing or provision can

365
00:20:15.160 --> 00:20:19.440
be very misleading. Scripture also records faithful prayers that were

366
00:20:19.480 --> 00:20:23.480
not answered as expected. For example, Paul's Thorn in the Flesh.

367
00:20:23.759 --> 00:20:26.680
So the sermon kind of gave it this simplistic idea, Hey,

368
00:20:26.880 --> 00:20:30.160
if you'll just go a little further in prayer, boom,

369
00:20:30.680 --> 00:20:34.640
guess what you're gonna get these miraculous outcomes. Well, that

370
00:20:34.759 --> 00:20:40.960
sets up a false expectation and a false idea in

371
00:20:41.000 --> 00:20:43.279
the minds of people. They go a little further in

372
00:20:43.319 --> 00:20:45.680
their prayer in twenty twenty five and the cancer doesn't

373
00:20:45.680 --> 00:20:48.160
go away, this doesn't get better, and this happens, and

374
00:20:48.240 --> 00:20:48.799
this happens.

375
00:20:48.839 --> 00:20:53.160
So it doesn't always mean that that's the case. Next

376
00:20:53.279 --> 00:20:54.359
historical details.

377
00:20:55.079 --> 00:20:58.400
The story of George Mueller praying for provision for orphans

378
00:20:58.519 --> 00:21:04.319
is accurate, but the reference to fleecing sarcastically oversimplifies his ministry.

379
00:21:04.359 --> 00:21:08.519
This may unintentionally confuse the point being made. All right,

380
00:21:09.119 --> 00:21:15.319
so some logical fallacies in the sermon false equivalents. The

381
00:21:15.440 --> 00:21:18.279
sermon seems to equate the disciples failure to stay awake

382
00:21:18.319 --> 00:21:21.680
in the garden with a lack of preparation for spiritual emergencies.

383
00:21:21.880 --> 00:21:24.599
But this may be an overreach. Their fatigue could have

384
00:21:24.640 --> 00:21:28.920
been more related to their humanity than to their spiritual shortcomings.

385
00:21:29.599 --> 00:21:33.480
Oh that's good. False equivalents. See what does the sermon do?

386
00:21:34.039 --> 00:21:36.720
The disciples fell asleep in the garden. See, they weren't

387
00:21:36.720 --> 00:21:39.960
prepared spiritually. May not have anything to do with them

388
00:21:40.000 --> 00:21:42.759
not being prepared spiritually. Maybe the fact that there were

389
00:21:42.839 --> 00:21:46.680
human beings and they were exhausted. Now that doesn't preach

390
00:21:46.720 --> 00:21:52.640
as well, that doesn't. Hey, they fall asleep, this is

391
00:21:52.680 --> 00:21:56.559
a sign of their spiritual apathy, their spiritual.

392
00:21:56.240 --> 00:21:58.839
Being not being prepared. It could just be that their

393
00:21:58.880 --> 00:21:59.960
human beings and were tired.

394
00:22:03.359 --> 00:22:06.599
See it's kind of a false equivalency. Guess how many

395
00:22:06.640 --> 00:22:09.240
sermons approach it that way. Almost all sermons go after

396
00:22:09.279 --> 00:22:11.839
the disciples for they're not being very spiritual, they're not

397
00:22:11.880 --> 00:22:14.720
being very godly. How are you falling asleep in your

398
00:22:14.759 --> 00:22:15.559
spiritual life?

399
00:22:16.759 --> 00:22:17.640
That preacher is good?

400
00:22:17.799 --> 00:22:20.799
May I have no I maybe a complete misrepresentation of

401
00:22:20.839 --> 00:22:27.359
the actual text. All right, hang on, let's go continue here.

402
00:22:31.039 --> 00:22:34.759
Oh wait a minute, here we go, let me go

403
00:22:34.839 --> 00:22:35.319
back up here.

404
00:22:35.480 --> 00:22:39.440
I ended up clicking off of this, so false equivalency.

405
00:22:39.559 --> 00:22:43.440
Second, over generalization, the claim that most people are content

406
00:22:43.519 --> 00:22:45.799
to do the minimum can come across as an unfair,

407
00:22:45.839 --> 00:22:48.079
blanket statement rather than a nuanced observation.

408
00:22:48.200 --> 00:22:50.400
Now that's common in preaching. I do that all the time.

409
00:22:50.759 --> 00:22:56.240
You can kind of overgeneralize. I'll say Christians or Christianity

410
00:22:56.599 --> 00:22:58.359
or the Church, and I speak of it in an

411
00:22:58.400 --> 00:23:02.839
overgeneralized way. Pretty common in preaching, and so a lot

412
00:23:02.880 --> 00:23:04.920
of times people will point that out and get frustrated

413
00:23:04.960 --> 00:23:06.279
by that. And what you have to say is, look,

414
00:23:06.279 --> 00:23:08.240
if it's applicable, that okay, if it's not.

415
00:23:08.400 --> 00:23:13.559
But I get the idea. So the false equivalency.

416
00:23:13.039 --> 00:23:15.880
Is more important to me than the over generalization, the

417
00:23:16.000 --> 00:23:20.160
historical possible or the geographical error. That's a big one.

418
00:23:21.039 --> 00:23:24.200
How that handled James. That's common in most preaching.

419
00:23:25.440 --> 00:23:26.039
So then.

420
00:23:28.680 --> 00:23:32.680
The AI offers me the biblical and textual issues with

421
00:23:32.759 --> 00:23:36.680
the sermon. It cites Luke twenty two for the sermon

422
00:23:36.720 --> 00:23:40.039
implies that all eleven disciples were explicitly commanded to stay

423
00:23:40.079 --> 00:23:43.319
awake and pray, but Jesus primarily focused was Peter, James

424
00:23:43.400 --> 00:23:46.839
and John in that intimate moment. So the sermon seems

425
00:23:46.880 --> 00:23:50.119
to imply all eleven disciples were explicitly commanded to stay

426
00:23:50.119 --> 00:23:50.839
awake and pray.

427
00:23:51.599 --> 00:23:53.319
But is that is that accurate?

428
00:23:54.880 --> 00:23:58.119
Well, you could you could look at that second fasting

429
00:23:58.160 --> 00:24:01.599
and praying in Mark nine nine. The sermon emphasizes fasting,

430
00:24:02.279 --> 00:24:06.559
though some translations omit fasting due to manuscript differences, and

431
00:24:06.680 --> 00:24:09.960
more nuanced approach to the textual variations would be helpful.

432
00:24:10.240 --> 00:24:12.599
So the point is, you quote Mark nine twenty nine,

433
00:24:12.799 --> 00:24:16.160
don't talk about textual variants. Now, to be fair, the

434
00:24:16.279 --> 00:24:19.640
church in question maybe KJV only, and so it doesn't

435
00:24:19.640 --> 00:24:22.400
care about textual variance because it just basically says the

436
00:24:22.480 --> 00:24:26.359
King James basically is inspired scripture, so doesn't matter if

437
00:24:26.359 --> 00:24:29.240
there's any textual variants because the King James is just right.

438
00:24:29.480 --> 00:24:34.839
So that could explain why they did not. Now discussion questions.

439
00:24:34.960 --> 00:24:38.559
AI gives me five discussion questions on this sermon. Number one,

440
00:24:39.160 --> 00:24:43.160
how does the phrase he went a little farther challenge

441
00:24:43.200 --> 00:24:45.200
our current spiritual disciplines.

442
00:24:46.720 --> 00:24:49.319
They say that would come from the text or from

443
00:24:49.319 --> 00:24:49.799
the sermon?

444
00:24:50.000 --> 00:24:53.119
Now I would push back that phrase Jesus went a

445
00:24:53.200 --> 00:24:56.839
little further? Is that should it even be applied to

446
00:24:57.039 --> 00:24:59.880
me in any way, shape or form. It's just literally speak,

447
00:25:00.440 --> 00:25:02.960
it's being. The text is literal. It just says Jesus

448
00:25:03.039 --> 00:25:06.079
went a little farther. He went a little further. However,

449
00:25:06.119 --> 00:25:08.759
you would like to see it? He went Here's they

450
00:25:08.799 --> 00:25:09.240
were here?

451
00:25:09.559 --> 00:25:10.519
He moved forward?

452
00:25:11.279 --> 00:25:14.000
Is that Am I supposed to draw some great spiritual

453
00:25:14.079 --> 00:25:15.039
principle from that?

454
00:25:16.519 --> 00:25:18.319
I don't know. Number two?

455
00:25:18.799 --> 00:25:22.359
What does true perseverance and prayer look like in the

456
00:25:22.400 --> 00:25:24.839
modern life?

457
00:25:24.880 --> 00:25:25.720
That's a good question.

458
00:25:26.119 --> 00:25:30.519
Number three, how do we reconcile unanswered prayers with biblical

459
00:25:30.559 --> 00:25:32.640
examples of miraculous answers?

460
00:25:34.519 --> 00:25:35.559
Well, that's a good question.

461
00:25:35.720 --> 00:25:38.559
Number four, And what ways can our actions reflect our

462
00:25:38.599 --> 00:25:44.240
faith and practical situations? Number five, how can we avoid

463
00:25:44.319 --> 00:25:47.559
legalism while striving to go a little farther in our

464
00:25:47.599 --> 00:25:48.640
spiritual lives.

465
00:25:51.200 --> 00:25:53.240
Those are good questions. I'm going to come back.

466
00:25:53.119 --> 00:25:55.880
And ask Ai about some of these, all right, So

467
00:25:56.000 --> 00:26:00.440
hang on further study suggestions. Study the geography of the garden.

468
00:26:00.759 --> 00:26:04.759
Explore Biblical maps to understand the physical location mentioned. So,

469
00:26:04.839 --> 00:26:07.240
because the sermon makes the claim that the disciples could

470
00:26:07.240 --> 00:26:10.240
see the garden from the upper room, AI is like, well, hey,

471
00:26:10.240 --> 00:26:12.279
this is what you need to do. Go explore a

472
00:26:12.279 --> 00:26:14.839
biblical map. Where would the upper room have been? Where

473
00:26:14.920 --> 00:26:18.119
is the garden? Could they have seen it?

474
00:26:18.160 --> 00:26:19.079
Is it possible?

475
00:26:19.480 --> 00:26:21.839
I like the fact that Ai is like, go study

476
00:26:21.880 --> 00:26:27.319
this to verify we could do that. Number two compare translations.

477
00:26:27.960 --> 00:26:31.279
Examine how different Bible versions handle the inclusion or emission

478
00:26:31.279 --> 00:26:36.440
of fasting in Mark nine twenty nine. Number three James

479
00:26:36.480 --> 00:26:39.920
two fourteen through twenty six. Study james teaching on faith

480
00:26:39.960 --> 00:26:43.000
and works and compare it to Paul's teaching and romans.

481
00:26:43.680 --> 00:26:48.200
Number four research prayer in church history. Study historical examples

482
00:26:48.200 --> 00:26:52.240
of prayer movements to understand the role of intercession. Number

483
00:26:52.279 --> 00:26:58.000
five Read George Mueller's biography. Delve deeper into Mueller's prayer

484
00:26:58.039 --> 00:27:02.759
life to get a fuller pitch of his ministry. Then

485
00:27:02.799 --> 00:27:05.920
Ai asked me would you like any additional details or

486
00:27:05.960 --> 00:27:09.319
a focus on specific parts of the sermon? Please know

487
00:27:09.599 --> 00:27:16.359
AI did all of that within five seconds. If I

488
00:27:16.400 --> 00:27:18.480
would have listened to that entire sermon and try to

489
00:27:18.519 --> 00:27:21.799
do all of that, it would have taken me. And

490
00:27:21.839 --> 00:27:24.160
that's not even an exaggeration. It would probably have taken

491
00:27:24.160 --> 00:27:27.079
me five six hours, maybe even ten hours to.

492
00:27:27.039 --> 00:27:30.799
Put all of that together. It did that within five seconds.

493
00:27:30.880 --> 00:27:32.440
Ladies and gentlemen, If you.

494
00:27:32.359 --> 00:27:35.400
Don't under this is going to have a profound impact

495
00:27:35.440 --> 00:27:36.119
on preaching.

496
00:27:36.559 --> 00:27:39.880
Basically, any sermon can be fact checked within five seconds.

497
00:27:41.839 --> 00:27:46.759
So I'm gonna ask you a question. What was the

498
00:27:46.920 --> 00:28:03.039
point of claiming the disciples could see the garden from

499
00:28:03.119 --> 00:28:08.400
the upper room?

500
00:28:08.519 --> 00:28:16.960
All right? So I'm asking it a specific question, all right?

501
00:28:17.000 --> 00:28:17.799
The claim said?

502
00:28:17.799 --> 00:28:18.720
This is what AI says.

503
00:28:18.759 --> 00:28:21.400
The claim that the disciples could see the garden from

504
00:28:21.480 --> 00:28:23.799
the upper room appears to be an attempt to emphasize

505
00:28:23.799 --> 00:28:27.440
the physical and emotional proximity of the events leading up

506
00:28:27.480 --> 00:28:31.000
to Jesus crucifixion. By suggesting that the garden was visible

507
00:28:31.000 --> 00:28:33.119
from the upper room, the speaker may have been trying

508
00:28:33.160 --> 00:28:36.279
to create a vivid mental picture that heightens the contrast

509
00:28:36.279 --> 00:28:38.640
between how close to the disciples were to Jesus in

510
00:28:38.720 --> 00:28:43.839
distance versus how distant they were in spiritual vigilance and

511
00:28:44.240 --> 00:28:49.599
support possible points the speaker was trying to make closeness

512
00:28:49.680 --> 00:28:53.119
versus failure. The idea reinforces the narrative that even though

513
00:28:53.160 --> 00:28:55.960
the disciples were physically close to Jesus, they failed to

514
00:28:55.960 --> 00:28:58.279
go a little further with him in prayer and support,

515
00:28:58.319 --> 00:29:03.799
emphasizing their spiritual unpreparedness a missed opportunity. By making it

516
00:29:03.839 --> 00:29:06.279
seem as though the garden was just a short walk away,

517
00:29:06.519 --> 00:29:09.240
the preachers may have been underscoring how easily the disciples

518
00:29:09.279 --> 00:29:12.400
could have gone with Jesus and demonstrated their loyalty if

519
00:29:12.400 --> 00:29:17.759
they had been more spiritually aware. Number three symbolism of accessibility.

520
00:29:17.920 --> 00:29:20.319
The preacher may have used the imagery of proximity to

521
00:29:20.319 --> 00:29:24.039
symbolize that God's calling and opportunities for prayer and obedience

522
00:29:24.079 --> 00:29:26.880
are always within reach, but people often miss them out

523
00:29:26.920 --> 00:29:31.839
of complacency. However, since this detail isn't supported by historical geography,

524
00:29:32.000 --> 00:29:34.640
it may unintentionally distort the narrative and take away from

525
00:29:34.799 --> 00:29:38.400
actual emotional intensity of the biblical account, where the disciples

526
00:29:38.480 --> 00:29:41.640
failure was not due to ignorance of the moment's significance,

527
00:29:41.839 --> 00:29:44.559
but rather their human frailty and the face.

528
00:29:44.319 --> 00:29:46.440
Of exhaustion and fear.

529
00:29:48.240 --> 00:29:51.079
So AI even tries to interpret what the pastor was

530
00:29:51.119 --> 00:29:53.880
trying to do with this claim, but then clearly tears

531
00:29:53.920 --> 00:29:58.400
it apart, saying the claim just does not the claim doesn't.

532
00:29:58.279 --> 00:30:00.000
Fit the actual facts.

533
00:30:00.359 --> 00:30:03.480
And sermons do this all the time, so many cats,

534
00:30:03.519 --> 00:30:05.559
so many times. The people in the pew, they don't

535
00:30:05.599 --> 00:30:08.519
really care if facts are being stated. They just like

536
00:30:08.559 --> 00:30:11.160
when it sounds spiritual. They just like when it when

537
00:30:11.160 --> 00:30:14.839
it feels like a sermon. But giving you a sermon

538
00:30:15.039 --> 00:30:18.799
that actually distorts the facts. No matter how how spiritual

539
00:30:18.799 --> 00:30:21.680
the points may be, if the spiritual points are based

540
00:30:21.680 --> 00:30:27.440
off inaccurate information, does that not disqualify the spiritual points?

541
00:30:29.720 --> 00:30:41.920
But let's ask it another question. Is it even biblically see?

542
00:30:42.759 --> 00:30:49.279
Is it even biblically accurate? Hang on? Here to take

543
00:30:49.400 --> 00:30:52.200
the phrase? Hang on if I can type write.

544
00:30:52.720 --> 00:30:57.720
To take the phrase, if I can type write here

545
00:30:58.359 --> 00:31:09.640
to take the phrase went a little went a little

546
00:31:10.400 --> 00:31:26.839
further and turn that into some challenge for us. All right,

547
00:31:27.039 --> 00:31:28.720
So hang on, We're going to see what Ai has

548
00:31:28.759 --> 00:31:33.039
to say here. The phrase he went a little further

549
00:31:33.079 --> 00:31:36.000
in Matthew twenty six thirty nine, in its biblical context,

550
00:31:36.039 --> 00:31:38.720
is a description of jesus physical movement in the garden

551
00:31:39.200 --> 00:31:43.359
as he distanced himself from his disciples to pray alone. Theologically,

552
00:31:43.559 --> 00:31:47.920
this movement illustrates Jesus' unique role in salvation history, being

553
00:31:47.920 --> 00:31:50.559
the full of bearing the full weight of obedience and

554
00:31:50.599 --> 00:31:52.880
submission to the Father's will and a way that no

555
00:31:52.960 --> 00:31:56.000
one else could. Therefore, turning this phrase into a general

556
00:31:56.079 --> 00:31:58.799
challenge for Christians to go further in prayer or faith

557
00:31:58.880 --> 00:32:01.440
may not align with the original purpose of the text.

558
00:32:02.640 --> 00:32:03.200
Shocking?

559
00:32:04.160 --> 00:32:08.960
Are you telling me that a sermon actually does not

560
00:32:09.119 --> 00:32:11.240
align with the original purpose of the text?

561
00:32:11.519 --> 00:32:12.519
This has got to be the.

562
00:32:12.440 --> 00:32:14.839
First time in history, ladies and gentlemen, this has to

563
00:32:14.880 --> 00:32:17.759
be the first example in history where a sermon does

564
00:32:17.839 --> 00:32:20.759
not align with the original purpose of the text. I'm

565
00:32:20.799 --> 00:32:23.799
being as sarcastic as I can be. Sermon after sermon

566
00:32:23.839 --> 00:32:27.759
after sermon after sermon constantly does not align with the

567
00:32:27.799 --> 00:32:29.240
original purpose of the text.

568
00:32:29.519 --> 00:32:30.279
They take the.

569
00:32:30.279 --> 00:32:33.559
Sermon, They take the text to make a sermon. This

570
00:32:33.720 --> 00:32:35.880
text is not there for you to make a sermon.

571
00:32:36.160 --> 00:32:39.880
The texts is there for us to study and understand it,

572
00:32:40.000 --> 00:32:43.160
and it doesn't always make for the best preaching. But hey,

573
00:32:43.440 --> 00:32:45.119
don't let the text get in the way of a

574
00:32:45.119 --> 00:32:48.000
good sermon. You can just take it, mold it, you

575
00:32:48.039 --> 00:32:50.160
can do what It's like Plato. You can just turn

576
00:32:50.200 --> 00:32:52.160
it into oh, look at this, I turned it into

577
00:32:52.200 --> 00:32:54.119
a good sermon. Everbody's like, oh, there was a good

578
00:32:54.119 --> 00:32:57.160
sermon that was so convicting, that was so challenging, and

579
00:32:57.400 --> 00:32:59.240
somebody just needs to raise the hand and go. And

580
00:32:59.359 --> 00:33:02.400
none of that had anything any connection with the original

581
00:33:02.440 --> 00:33:05.480
purpose or intent of the text. But if you do that,

582
00:33:05.720 --> 00:33:08.759
then you're the nitpicky one and you're you're being a

583
00:33:09.039 --> 00:33:10.279
you know, nobody.

584
00:33:10.039 --> 00:33:11.960
Likes you, and you're the problem.

585
00:33:12.079 --> 00:33:14.599
Well, no, the problem is is the sermon took a

586
00:33:14.640 --> 00:33:17.960
text did something with it that has nothing to do

587
00:33:18.000 --> 00:33:20.720
with the original intent of the text.

588
00:33:22.119 --> 00:33:24.880
The biblical context of the phrase go a little further.

589
00:33:25.519 --> 00:33:28.079
The number one, the narrative purpose the phrase he went

590
00:33:28.079 --> 00:33:31.920
a little further simply shows that Jesus physically withdrew to

591
00:33:32.000 --> 00:33:35.400
pray privately. This highlights his deep distress, which led him

592
00:33:35.400 --> 00:33:37.119
to seek solitude with the Father.

593
00:33:37.920 --> 00:33:40.359
That's that's that's the purpose of the narrative.

594
00:33:40.880 --> 00:33:45.519
The philological significance Jesus going further represents his submission to

595
00:33:45.559 --> 00:33:48.920
God's will in a way that the disciples, by extension

596
00:33:49.279 --> 00:33:52.759
all humanity, could not. If you really want to get somewhere,

597
00:33:52.759 --> 00:33:54.400
if you really want to preach this into a sermon,

598
00:33:54.599 --> 00:33:57.599
Jesus went a little farther. Jesus went and said, not

599
00:33:57.720 --> 00:33:59.759
my will, but your will be done. Jesus went a

600
00:33:59.759 --> 00:34:02.319
little further to obey the will of God, to do

601
00:34:02.359 --> 00:34:06.039
the will of God, to perfectly fulfill the law for us,

602
00:34:06.079 --> 00:34:08.559
because we can't do it, because we as humans, we

603
00:34:08.599 --> 00:34:11.239
are sinners. The fact that he went further is not

604
00:34:11.320 --> 00:34:15.480
a challenge for me to go further. It's more of

605
00:34:15.760 --> 00:34:18.760
an explanation that he has to go further because.

606
00:34:18.480 --> 00:34:20.760
We cannot do it.

607
00:34:22.920 --> 00:34:25.360
By taking the fact that Jesus went further and then

608
00:34:25.400 --> 00:34:27.360
turning it into hey, you need to go further in

609
00:34:27.400 --> 00:34:29.880
your prayer, you need to go further in your obedience,

610
00:34:30.039 --> 00:34:32.199
is a misrepresentation of the entire point.

611
00:34:32.760 --> 00:34:34.480
Jesus went further because we can't.

612
00:34:35.480 --> 00:34:44.159
We're limited by our human frailty, our sinfulness. Jesus going

613
00:34:44.199 --> 00:34:46.800
further represents his submission to God's will in a way

614
00:34:46.840 --> 00:34:49.159
that the disciples and by extension, all humanity could not.

615
00:34:49.559 --> 00:34:54.159
It is a moment of profound contrast between jesus obedience

616
00:34:54.280 --> 00:34:56.880
and the disciples failure to stay awake and support him.

617
00:34:57.079 --> 00:34:59.639
That's the point you should get. We can't do it.

618
00:35:00.119 --> 00:35:00.800
We can't.

619
00:35:01.159 --> 00:35:01.920
He did.

620
00:35:02.639 --> 00:35:06.000
Our salvation is not based on us trying harder, doing more.

621
00:35:06.159 --> 00:35:07.880
It's based on the fact that he did at all,

622
00:35:08.039 --> 00:35:11.039
and he's perfect. How do we so turn the text

623
00:35:11.199 --> 00:35:14.920
upside down? What the text is actually saying. We turn

624
00:35:14.960 --> 00:35:17.880
it into hey, guys, you need to go further, turning

625
00:35:17.960 --> 00:35:19.719
in into something we're supposed to do.

626
00:35:19.960 --> 00:35:23.599
No, it's about the fact that he did, because we can't.

627
00:35:25.360 --> 00:35:28.320
The sermon literally destroyed the entire text.

628
00:35:32.639 --> 00:35:35.559
Challenges to make it a general principle Christ's unique role

629
00:35:35.639 --> 00:35:37.880
Jesus act of going further and the garden reflects his

630
00:35:37.960 --> 00:35:40.480
unique role in salvation. Applying it as a challenge for

631
00:35:40.559 --> 00:35:43.519
Christians can risk downplaying the fact that only Jesus could

632
00:35:43.519 --> 00:35:46.920
go further and bearing the cup of suffering God's wrath

633
00:35:47.000 --> 00:35:51.679
for sin number two. The textual intention the Gospels do

634
00:35:51.760 --> 00:35:55.199
not present this phrase as a moral command for believers. Instead,

635
00:35:55.239 --> 00:35:59.000
it narrates a historical moment to emphasize jesus resolve and

636
00:35:59.039 --> 00:36:02.800
the disciples and ality to comprehend or participate in his suffering.

637
00:36:03.639 --> 00:36:07.960
Number three the dangers of moralizing narrative details. Applying narrative

638
00:36:08.000 --> 00:36:11.719
details as imperatives or commands for Christian living can lead

639
00:36:11.719 --> 00:36:16.039
to forcing meaning into texts that are descriptive rather than prescriptive.

640
00:36:16.320 --> 00:36:19.000
While Christians are called to pray, going further in the

641
00:36:19.000 --> 00:36:22.400
sense of self imposed expectation can lead to legalism or

642
00:36:22.400 --> 00:36:28.840
guilt if not properly grounded in scripture. Rather than using

643
00:36:28.960 --> 00:36:32.199
He went a Little Further as a challenge, the following

644
00:36:32.239 --> 00:36:35.679
passage more directly supports the idea of persistence and prayer

645
00:36:35.679 --> 00:36:39.199
and faith Luke eighteen one. The Parable of the Persistent

646
00:36:39.239 --> 00:36:42.000
Widow explicitly teaches the importance of praying and not losing

647
00:36:42.039 --> 00:36:46.199
heart James five, sixteen through eighteen. Elijah's fervent prayer is

648
00:36:46.280 --> 00:36:48.639
used as an example of the power of righteous prayer.

649
00:36:48.760 --> 00:36:49.639
Hebrews twelve.

650
00:36:49.679 --> 00:36:52.199
The believers call to endure look to Jesus as the

651
00:36:52.239 --> 00:36:56.000
author and finisher of our faith without imposing arbitrary expectations.

652
00:36:56.079 --> 00:36:58.480
In other words, there are other texts if you wanted.

653
00:36:58.199 --> 00:37:00.880
To teach this, this text has nothing to do with it.

654
00:37:04.400 --> 00:37:07.360
While the preacher's call to deeper prayer, service and commitment

655
00:37:07.559 --> 00:37:10.679
may align with biblical principles, using he Went a little

656
00:37:10.679 --> 00:37:14.719
Further as a metaphorical challenge stretches the text, meaning the

657
00:37:14.760 --> 00:37:17.960
phrase describes Christ's unique role in his mission, not a

658
00:37:18.000 --> 00:37:20.760
direct call for believers to mimic his actions in that

659
00:37:20.800 --> 00:37:23.840
specific way. A better approach was to focus on how

660
00:37:23.920 --> 00:37:27.679
Jesus' omission and the disciples failure calls us to rely

661
00:37:27.760 --> 00:37:31.639
on christ obedience and remain spiritually vigilant, rather than imposing

662
00:37:31.920 --> 00:37:37.239
extra biblical challenges. Ai literally just totally just destroyed that

663
00:37:37.440 --> 00:37:39.760
entire sermon. He just tore it apart.

664
00:37:40.679 --> 00:37:42.440
And all you needed to do was just know how

665
00:37:42.440 --> 00:37:44.119
to ask Ai the right questions.

666
00:37:44.559 --> 00:37:46.519
See as soon as I saw he went a little

667
00:37:46.519 --> 00:37:48.800
further and saw how the pastor was using it.

668
00:37:48.920 --> 00:37:51.159
I immediately knew that's a problem.

669
00:37:51.320 --> 00:37:57.519
That's taking a descriptive pastive passage making it prescriptive. It's

670
00:37:57.559 --> 00:38:01.400
about Jesus' physical movement. You're turning it into a metaphor.

671
00:38:01.400 --> 00:38:03.039
And if you even wanted to turn it into some

672
00:38:03.119 --> 00:38:06.639
kind of a metaphor allegory, the point is Jesus went further.

673
00:38:06.760 --> 00:38:08.800
And what is the contrast the text is made He

674
00:38:08.920 --> 00:38:11.639
went further. Well, the disciples fall fell asleep. Why did

675
00:38:11.679 --> 00:38:14.480
they fall asleep? Not because they weren't spiritually prepared. Because

676
00:38:14.480 --> 00:38:18.239
they're human beings and we're frail and we're weak. Jesus

677
00:38:18.360 --> 00:38:21.679
went and obeyed. He did the will of God for us.

678
00:38:21.760 --> 00:38:26.679
It's the perfect story of Jesus went further because we can't.

679
00:38:27.119 --> 00:38:30.559
We will never obey the law perfectly. We will always

680
00:38:30.599 --> 00:38:33.400
fall short short. So we needed Jesus to go further

681
00:38:33.599 --> 00:38:34.360
because we could not.

682
00:38:40.920 --> 00:38:41.360
There we go.

683
00:38:41.400 --> 00:38:44.599
In thirty eight minutes, we have analyzed a sermon. We

684
00:38:44.639 --> 00:38:48.199
know what the sermon is completely about. We've looked at all.

685
00:38:48.039 --> 00:38:49.400
The claims the sermon has made.

686
00:38:49.440 --> 00:38:54.920
We've already saw factual errors, logical errors, textual errors. We've

687
00:38:54.960 --> 00:39:01.320
identified everything. And within seconds, ladies and gentlemen, all right,

688
00:39:01.440 --> 00:39:02.559
let's try another one.

689
00:39:04.159 --> 00:39:05.280
Let's try another one.

690
00:39:05.360 --> 00:39:12.519
Let's go back. I'm gonna go to sermons, newest sermons.

691
00:39:13.119 --> 00:39:18.639
All right, here we go, what do we have?

692
00:39:18.920 --> 00:39:19.199
Here?

693
00:39:21.079 --> 00:39:25.519
Here we go, Let's click on this. This one is

694
00:39:25.559 --> 00:39:28.000
a sermon what it means to be holy? Based off

695
00:39:28.079 --> 00:39:31.239
John six thirty eight through forty again. I'm just using

696
00:39:31.280 --> 00:39:34.960
the sermon the sermon audio website. This is a brand

697
00:39:35.039 --> 00:39:39.440
new sermon. I'm gonna click on the raw transcript. The

698
00:39:40.079 --> 00:39:42.039
iPad is asking me do I want to download it?

699
00:39:42.039 --> 00:39:48.840
I'm gonna download it, all right, I'm going to I'm

700
00:39:48.880 --> 00:39:51.159
gonna go back here. Hang on, give me one second.

701
00:39:51.159 --> 00:39:53.880
I'm gonna go back to AI. I'm gonna go all

702
00:39:53.920 --> 00:39:57.320
the way back up to the top here. I'm gonna copy.

703
00:39:58.360 --> 00:40:02.239
I'm gonna select the text copy because I need my

704
00:40:02.360 --> 00:40:03.239
prompt again.

705
00:40:03.440 --> 00:40:05.920
I need my prompt right, so I'm going.

706
00:40:05.679 --> 00:40:10.760
To the plus sign on chat GPT attached files. Okay,

707
00:40:11.039 --> 00:40:13.880
ten forty two am, here's the one I just downloaded.

708
00:40:14.079 --> 00:40:18.760
I'm selecting it. I'm hitting open underneath it. I'm typing

709
00:40:18.760 --> 00:40:23.199
out my prompt. I just copied and pasted, analyzed the

710
00:40:23.239 --> 00:40:26.679
following sermon, summarize it, and outline any factual errors, theological

711
00:40:26.760 --> 00:40:31.559
errors or inconsistency, logical fallacies, biblical contextual errors, lists, discussion questions,

712
00:40:31.559 --> 00:40:34.199
and things for further study based on the sermon.

713
00:40:34.360 --> 00:40:39.039
All right, now clicking the little arrow now, I wait,

714
00:40:39.960 --> 00:40:42.880
AI is analyzing the sermon. It's done, all right.

715
00:40:42.920 --> 00:40:46.440
That took maybe three seconds here's a detailed analysis of

716
00:40:46.440 --> 00:40:49.960
the sermon based on the provided transcript summary of the sermon.

717
00:40:50.400 --> 00:40:53.440
The sermon focuses on the theme of surrendering self will

718
00:40:53.760 --> 00:40:58.079
and embracing the will of God as the essence of holiness, peace,

719
00:40:58.599 --> 00:41:02.320
and the Christian life. The speaker uses John six thirty

720
00:41:02.320 --> 00:41:05.480
eight through forty and other passages to emphasize that Jesus'

721
00:41:05.480 --> 00:41:09.320
life was characterized by complete submission to the Father's will,

722
00:41:09.599 --> 00:41:14.400
devoid of self interest. This sermon contrasts this with humanity's

723
00:41:14.400 --> 00:41:17.880
tendency towards self will and self righteousness due to the

724
00:41:17.920 --> 00:41:22.119
sinful nature inherited from Adam. The speaker argues that true

725
00:41:22.119 --> 00:41:27.280
holiness involves abandoning one's own plans and ambitions in favor

726
00:41:27.360 --> 00:41:31.719
of trusting in God's providential plan, resulting in peace and

727
00:41:31.880 --> 00:41:38.679
divine purpose. Main points of the sermon number one Jesus

728
00:41:38.760 --> 00:41:42.559
as a model of holiness. Number two, the essence of

729
00:41:42.719 --> 00:41:49.079
sin and holiness. Number three, God's providential Plan, number four

730
00:41:49.639 --> 00:41:55.679
examples of submission, and number five holiness and daily life. Now,

731
00:41:55.679 --> 00:41:57.679
there's lots of sub points under all of this. It

732
00:41:57.719 --> 00:42:05.000
breaks the sermon down perfectly, But yeah, there's a lot here.

733
00:42:05.039 --> 00:42:09.079
I could already start challenging philologically. But let's go to

734
00:42:09.679 --> 00:42:10.559
what AI found.

735
00:42:10.599 --> 00:42:10.960
All right.

736
00:42:11.000 --> 00:42:13.760
So there's the outline of the sermon again, and I'm

737
00:42:13.760 --> 00:42:16.039
not giving you the sub points. Number one, Jesus has

738
00:42:16.079 --> 00:42:18.360
the model of holiness. Number two, the essence of sin

739
00:42:18.400 --> 00:42:22.599
and holiness number three, God's providential plan, number four, examples

740
00:42:22.599 --> 00:42:26.239
of submission, number five, holiness and daily life. Again, AI

741
00:42:26.320 --> 00:42:29.599
gives me all of the sub points as well, breaks

742
00:42:29.599 --> 00:42:31.760
it all down. I don't even need to listen to it.

743
00:42:31.800 --> 00:42:36.599
All right, here we go factual errors and philological issues

744
00:42:36.920 --> 00:42:41.239
Number one over generalization of holiness. The sermon emphasized that

745
00:42:41.280 --> 00:42:44.199
holiness is achieved by having no will of our own.

746
00:42:44.760 --> 00:42:47.960
This can veer into an extreme form of passivity, ignoring

747
00:42:48.000 --> 00:42:50.559
the biblical teaching that believers are called to make decisions

748
00:42:50.760 --> 00:42:54.840
while seeking God's guidance. My issue would be, we can

749
00:42:54.880 --> 00:42:59.719
achieve holiness by having no will of our own? All right,

750
00:43:00.079 --> 00:43:04.920
ladies and gentlemen, we cannot achieve holiness in any meaningful

751
00:43:04.960 --> 00:43:08.440
way because holiness is completely sinlessness.

752
00:43:08.480 --> 00:43:09.679
We're always going to be in sin.

753
00:43:09.760 --> 00:43:13.760
But okay, Jesus' submission to the Father's will is unique

754
00:43:13.920 --> 00:43:16.480
due to his role in the plan of redemption. Applying

755
00:43:16.480 --> 00:43:20.199
this standard directly to believers without nuance may cause confusion

756
00:43:20.239 --> 00:43:23.559
about the difference between Christ's mission and human obedience.

757
00:43:23.719 --> 00:43:25.719
Well, yeah, it would be a major problem because.

758
00:43:25.599 --> 00:43:29.039
Christ is not an example, right so much. I mean,

759
00:43:29.039 --> 00:43:31.400
we will let me say this. He may serve as

760
00:43:31.440 --> 00:43:34.039
an example to some point, but here's the ultimate example.

761
00:43:34.440 --> 00:43:38.000
He could obey. He could do the will of God perfectly.

762
00:43:38.480 --> 00:43:39.480
We cannot.

763
00:43:39.920 --> 00:43:42.079
So therefore we looked at Jesus as the one who

764
00:43:42.079 --> 00:43:45.960
did it for us, and we trust in his imputed righteousness.

765
00:43:47.400 --> 00:43:49.599
So already this sermon is.

766
00:43:49.559 --> 00:43:53.360
Going in directions that already is concerning, all right, But

767
00:43:53.440 --> 00:43:56.840
it's an overgeneralization, and I think it's taking a Jesus

768
00:43:56.920 --> 00:44:01.119
submission and almost making it like, now we can do

769
00:44:01.159 --> 00:44:04.400
the same thing. Let's see if it goes that direction, right,

770
00:44:04.440 --> 00:44:08.920
So number the second possible problem, determinism versus responsibility. The

771
00:44:09.039 --> 00:44:12.880
speaker strongly asserts that God's plan unfolds perfectly, to the

772
00:44:12.920 --> 00:44:16.320
point that frustration or ambition is seen as a failure

773
00:44:16.360 --> 00:44:19.519
to trust God. So don't get frustrated, don't have any

774
00:44:19.559 --> 00:44:22.920
ambitions seems to be the point. However, Scripture balances God's

775
00:44:22.920 --> 00:44:26.199
sovereignty with human responsibility. We could get into that discussion

776
00:44:26.239 --> 00:44:31.159
all day. Number three the misuse of biblical references. The

777
00:44:31.280 --> 00:44:36.119
sermon uses passages like John seventeen and Ephesians two without

778
00:44:36.159 --> 00:44:40.679
fully contextualizing them. For example, John seventeen speaks about unity

779
00:44:40.679 --> 00:44:44.440
among believers as a testimony to the world, not directly

780
00:44:44.440 --> 00:44:49.840
about individual submission to God's will. Number four problems of

781
00:44:49.920 --> 00:44:54.679
selfishness as a measure of holiness. The idea that the

782
00:44:54.679 --> 00:44:57.559
more self is killed, the holier a person becomes can

783
00:44:57.679 --> 00:45:01.320
lead to self condemnation and legalism. This approach risks turning

784
00:45:01.320 --> 00:45:06.079
holiness into personal achievement rather than a work of God.

785
00:45:07.440 --> 00:45:11.840
Number five confusion regarding vocation. The claim that failing to

786
00:45:11.880 --> 00:45:14.320
become a doctor or preacher is a sign that it

787
00:45:14.400 --> 00:45:18.559
wasn't God's will might oversimplify the complexity of life choices,

788
00:45:18.760 --> 00:45:23.719
personal responsibilities, and external circumstances. This risk implying that failure

789
00:45:23.800 --> 00:45:29.800
is always providential, rather than considering human agency and effort. Now,

790
00:45:30.039 --> 00:45:33.639
all of that analysis raises lots of questions, and we

791
00:45:33.679 --> 00:45:35.719
can't really we have to really listen to this and

792
00:45:35.760 --> 00:45:38.400
get into I mean, this gets into some very deep

793
00:45:38.400 --> 00:45:44.719
philological issues about God's sovereignty, decree, providence, human responsibility, and

794
00:45:44.880 --> 00:45:46.719
we're never going to unpack all of that.

795
00:45:46.880 --> 00:45:49.039
So okay.

796
00:45:50.000 --> 00:45:53.039
The AI then says the sermon has the following logical

797
00:45:53.079 --> 00:45:58.079
fallacies and inconsistencies. False dichotomy. The sermon presents a choice

798
00:45:58.079 --> 00:46:02.239
between total passivity and rebellion against God's will, ignoring the

799
00:46:02.239 --> 00:46:06.920
possibility of actively working while trusting God, for example Paul's

800
00:46:06.920 --> 00:46:10.119
missionary journeys. So the sermon seems to give us a

801
00:46:10.119 --> 00:46:15.719
false dichotomy. Either it's total passivity or basically you're rebelling

802
00:46:15.719 --> 00:46:18.480
against God's will, And it says that's kind of a

803
00:46:18.480 --> 00:46:25.400
false dichotomy. Number two, it uses a story and other anidotes,

804
00:46:25.440 --> 00:46:29.719
while emotionally compelling, does not constitute biblical proof for the

805
00:46:29.760 --> 00:46:33.199
claim that God's will is always revealed through suffering or resignation.

806
00:46:33.559 --> 00:46:36.440
So basically it gives us some of these anicdotal kind

807
00:46:36.440 --> 00:46:40.800
of anidotal evidence. Hey, hey, look at this situation as

808
00:46:40.840 --> 00:46:43.519
if this proves something, but it's not from the Bible.

809
00:46:43.559 --> 00:46:46.400
He uses a story from somewhere else as some.

810
00:46:46.320 --> 00:46:50.199
Kind of It may be a maybe an emotional story,

811
00:46:50.039 --> 00:46:53.719
but it does not support biblically the claim that God's

812
00:46:53.719 --> 00:46:57.760
will is always revealed through suffering or just simply resigning

813
00:46:57.880 --> 00:47:00.159
or giving up to a specific thing.

814
00:47:00.679 --> 00:47:03.400
So it's using a story outside.

815
00:47:02.960 --> 00:47:05.039
Of the Bible to try to make a biblical point

816
00:47:05.079 --> 00:47:08.280
or prove a biblical point. That's anecdotal evidence at best.

817
00:47:08.400 --> 00:47:08.760
All right.

818
00:47:08.960 --> 00:47:13.880
Next, equating frustration with sin, the speaker implies that any

819
00:47:13.880 --> 00:47:17.719
frustration or dissatisfaction is a sign of sin and self will. However,

820
00:47:17.800 --> 00:47:22.199
biblical figures like David and Paul experienced deep frustration and

821
00:47:22.280 --> 00:47:23.840
still walked faithfully with God.

822
00:47:23.880 --> 00:47:24.639
How about job?

823
00:47:25.920 --> 00:47:28.920
Job talked about dissatisfaction and frustration.

824
00:47:29.440 --> 00:47:30.119
Did he sin?

825
00:47:32.119 --> 00:47:37.039
So there's a possible problem there. So then to ask

826
00:47:37.119 --> 00:47:41.400
some questions, how does jesus submission to the Father and

827
00:47:41.519 --> 00:47:44.679
John six inform our understanding of personal surrender?

828
00:47:46.119 --> 00:47:49.159
Number two? Is it possible to fully abandon our.

829
00:47:49.079 --> 00:47:51.760
Own will while still actively participating in God's work?

830
00:47:52.679 --> 00:47:53.400
Number three?

831
00:47:53.599 --> 00:47:56.239
What is the biblical balance between trusting God's plan and

832
00:47:56.280 --> 00:47:58.320
making wise intentional decisions?

833
00:47:58.960 --> 00:47:59.519
Number four?

834
00:47:59.760 --> 00:48:02.639
How should we interpret setbacks and failures in our lives?

835
00:48:02.840 --> 00:48:06.239
Are they always signs of God's read direction? And Number five?

836
00:48:06.280 --> 00:48:10.400
How can we distinguish between legitimate desire and sinful self interest?

837
00:48:11.400 --> 00:48:14.480
So those are the discussion questions that Ai says we

838
00:48:14.480 --> 00:48:17.639
should consider and light of discernment. Those are good questions,

839
00:48:19.280 --> 00:48:22.239
Those are good questions. I want to break each one

840
00:48:22.280 --> 00:48:24.400
of those down. I just want you to see. My

841
00:48:24.559 --> 00:48:26.360
goal here is just to show you how quickly AI

842
00:48:26.440 --> 00:48:30.119
can give you discussion questions on a sermon, which is

843
00:48:30.239 --> 00:48:34.719
amazing tool. In fact, we'll probably be utilizing it a

844
00:48:34.760 --> 00:48:44.320
lot in twenty twenty five. All right, it says suggestions

845
00:48:44.320 --> 00:48:48.960
for further study, AI says, read Psalms of Lament and

846
00:48:49.039 --> 00:48:52.639
Paul's writings about suffering to understand how godly people handle frustration,

847
00:48:52.880 --> 00:48:54.800
because AI wants us to see that you can be

848
00:48:54.840 --> 00:48:58.800
godly and still at times be frustrated. All right. Number

849
00:48:59.000 --> 00:49:03.440
another one the role of human agency. Study stories like

850
00:49:03.480 --> 00:49:06.079
NMI's rebuilding of the Wall, to see how faith and

851
00:49:06.199 --> 00:49:13.760
action work together and fulfilling God's purpose. So there we go,

852
00:49:13.800 --> 00:49:15.960
and it offers a little bit more information.

853
00:49:17.079 --> 00:49:18.519
There you go. Now I have a question.

854
00:49:20.119 --> 00:49:24.280
The sermon seems to imply that we can achieve perfect holiness.

855
00:49:24.840 --> 00:49:27.480
That's what it appears to me based on AI's breakdown.

856
00:49:27.519 --> 00:49:30.000
So I'm gonna ask AI if that is an accurate

857
00:49:30.119 --> 00:49:33.199
understanding of the sermons. So I'm going to ask Ai,

858
00:49:33.960 --> 00:49:39.800
is it accurate to say that the sermon.

859
00:49:41.280 --> 00:50:01.679
Was saying perfect holiness is achievable, achievable in this life?

860
00:50:03.719 --> 00:50:06.440
All right, I'm gonna ask Ai if I'm being accurate here?

861
00:50:07.880 --> 00:50:11.000
All right, So here we go. Ai says, yes.

862
00:50:11.119 --> 00:50:14.320
It appears that the sermons suggest perfect holiness is achievable

863
00:50:14.320 --> 00:50:17.320
in this life based on the emphasis on selfishness and

864
00:50:17.360 --> 00:50:21.199
complete abandonment of self will as the essence of holiness.

865
00:50:21.480 --> 00:50:24.480
The preacher presents jesus perfect submission to the Father's will

866
00:50:24.639 --> 00:50:27.760
as a model for believers to follow, indicating that the

867
00:50:27.800 --> 00:50:30.880
closer one gets to eradicating self will, the holier they become.

868
00:50:31.440 --> 00:50:34.639
They are also statements implying that the more self is removed,

869
00:50:34.639 --> 00:50:36.760
the closer one gets to a state of being without

870
00:50:36.880 --> 00:50:40.320
sin or failure. All right, here are some key statements

871
00:50:40.440 --> 00:50:43.920
that imply this. Number one, Jesus is the example of

872
00:50:44.119 --> 00:50:49.280
selfless holiness. Jesus Christ kept his hands off his own life,

873
00:50:49.440 --> 00:50:52.199
and he had no will of his own. The speaker

874
00:50:52.239 --> 00:50:55.519
claims that believers can achieve a state of no will

875
00:50:55.960 --> 00:50:59.559
of their own, which aligns with a portrayal of holiness. So,

876
00:50:59.599 --> 00:51:02.719
according to the sermon, you can literally reach a point

877
00:51:02.719 --> 00:51:05.239
in your life where you have no will of your own.

878
00:51:05.400 --> 00:51:07.800
It is achievable. You can do it now.

879
00:51:07.920 --> 00:51:10.559
Just think, even if you have no will of your own,

880
00:51:10.960 --> 00:51:13.599
you still have a sinful nature. So for me to

881
00:51:13.679 --> 00:51:16.480
have no will of my own, would I would? That

882
00:51:16.559 --> 00:51:18.920
not have to mean I would eradicate the sinful nature.

883
00:51:19.320 --> 00:51:20.800
So there's already a problem here.

884
00:51:23.719 --> 00:51:25.840
Number two, The essence of sin is self.

885
00:51:26.159 --> 00:51:30.840
The essence of holiness is selflessness. The preacher repeatedly states

886
00:51:30.880 --> 00:51:33.639
that eradicating self equates to being holy, and that when

887
00:51:33.639 --> 00:51:37.119
self is entirely removed, sin is overcome. The more your

888
00:51:37.159 --> 00:51:39.679
self is out of the out of this thing, the

889
00:51:39.679 --> 00:51:44.800
more you're gonna be holy. So it clearly the sermon

890
00:51:44.840 --> 00:51:47.239
seems to seems to be implying you can do it.

891
00:51:47.320 --> 00:51:51.320
Number three a misrepresentation of scriptural commands. The preacher cites

892
00:51:51.400 --> 00:51:54.440
Versus like Philippians two thirteen, for it is God who

893
00:51:54.519 --> 00:51:56.960
works in you, and uses them to suggest that holiness

894
00:51:57.000 --> 00:52:00.199
involves no longer struggling with self. The language about being

895
00:52:00.239 --> 00:52:02.960
completely governed by the spirit sounds like a belief in

896
00:52:03.000 --> 00:52:09.360
attaining sinless perfection and motivation and action. Philological problems with

897
00:52:09.400 --> 00:52:13.159
the view of this sermon. Number one scriptural reality of

898
00:52:13.199 --> 00:52:15.880
sin and believers. First John states that if we claim

899
00:52:15.920 --> 00:52:18.840
to be without sin, we deceive ourselves. Paul's struggle with

900
00:52:18.880 --> 00:52:21.519
sin in Romans seven fifteen through twenty five shows that

901
00:52:21.559 --> 00:52:24.519
even mature believers continue to wrestle with their sinful nature.

902
00:52:24.880 --> 00:52:29.199
Number two confusing sanctification with glorification. The sermon appears to

903
00:52:29.199 --> 00:52:33.280
confuse the progressive work of sanctification with glorification. Being made

904
00:52:33.360 --> 00:52:36.639
perfect in heaven. Scripture teaches that believers are being made

905
00:52:36.679 --> 00:52:39.719
holy but will not achieve perfection until they are transformed

906
00:52:39.719 --> 00:52:44.400
in the presence of Christ, but a potential for legalism

907
00:52:44.440 --> 00:52:48.400
and self deception. The emphasis on eradicating self as the

908
00:52:48.440 --> 00:52:52.239
measure of holiness can lead to either pride believer believing

909
00:52:52.280 --> 00:52:56.599
one has achieved holiness or despair realizing that one cannot.

910
00:52:56.960 --> 00:52:59.719
The sermon seems to imply that perfect holiness is a

911
00:52:59.760 --> 00:53:02.920
chief in this life by presenting.

912
00:53:02.760 --> 00:53:04.880
Selflessness as the ultimate goal.

913
00:53:05.039 --> 00:53:09.119
However, this view is inconsistent with Biblical teaching, which acknowledges

914
00:53:09.159 --> 00:53:11.760
the ongoing presence of sin and the believer's life, and

915
00:53:11.800 --> 00:53:15.360
the places the hope of perfection and the resurrection of glorification,

916
00:53:15.840 --> 00:53:19.079
not an earthly sanctification. The Christian life is marked by

917
00:53:19.119 --> 00:53:23.599
dependence on Christ's righteousness rather than striving for an unattainable

918
00:53:23.639 --> 00:53:29.079
perfection in this life. So the sermon AI is able

919
00:53:29.119 --> 00:53:36.000
to determine that the sermon completely obliterates the correct understanding

920
00:53:36.039 --> 00:53:38.840
of holiness by making it sound like it's achievable in

921
00:53:38.880 --> 00:53:45.079
this life. We cannot do it. I'm going to ask

922
00:53:45.119 --> 00:53:53.400
Ai follow up question. Even if we reached some level

923
00:53:55.280 --> 00:54:08.559
of having no will of our own, that wouldn't mean.

924
00:54:12.920 --> 00:54:26.960
We would be perfectly holy because we because we would

925
00:54:27.000 --> 00:54:36.920
still have a sinful nature, and sin is sin is

926
00:54:37.119 --> 00:54:49.880
far more than just having no self will. Correct all right.

927
00:54:49.800 --> 00:54:53.039
So I'm asking Ai for fault, you know, to go

928
00:54:53.119 --> 00:54:55.840
a little farther if we want to use the first sermon.

929
00:54:57.639 --> 00:54:59.840
Okay, Ai says, you're absolutely.

930
00:55:00.360 --> 00:55:02.119
Even if someone were to achieve a state where they

931
00:55:02.199 --> 00:55:04.840
consistently sought to align their will with God, that would

932
00:55:04.840 --> 00:55:07.320
not make them perfectly holy, because holiness involves more than

933
00:55:07.360 --> 00:55:10.440
the absence of self will. Sin is pervasive in human

934
00:55:10.519 --> 00:55:13.199
nature and encompasses far more than just to struggle with

935
00:55:13.239 --> 00:55:17.159
self will. Even the most faithful Christians still possesses a

936
00:55:17.199 --> 00:55:20.440
sinful nature, often referred to as the flesh, and they

937
00:55:20.480 --> 00:55:24.159
will until glorification. The apostle Paul acknowledge this struggle in

938
00:55:24.239 --> 00:55:27.880
Roman seven number two. Sin is far more than self will.

939
00:55:28.320 --> 00:55:31.639
Sin manifest in multiple ways, not just through conscious self will.

940
00:55:31.760 --> 00:55:35.559
Here are some examples, ignorance and omission. Sometimes we sin

941
00:55:35.800 --> 00:55:40.920
unintentionally Leviticus four two. Not doing what we should. Not

942
00:55:41.360 --> 00:55:44.400
doing what we should is still sin James four seventeen.

943
00:55:44.960 --> 00:55:49.880
Sinful internal attitudes, sinful pride, envy, doubt, fear, and lust

944
00:55:49.920 --> 00:55:53.719
can arise without a deliberate act of will emotional reactions.

945
00:55:53.719 --> 00:55:55.960
We can sin in our hearts and emotions even when

946
00:55:56.000 --> 00:55:59.320
we are not consciously exercising self will. Even when someone

947
00:55:59.360 --> 00:56:02.320
sincerely does desires to please God, they can still sin

948
00:56:03.280 --> 00:56:11.159
because sin infects not only actions, but thoughts, motives, and desires. Next,

949
00:56:11.480 --> 00:56:17.599
holiness is more than selflessness. Biblical holiness involves not only

950
00:56:17.639 --> 00:56:21.360
the absence of sin, but also the presence of righteousness,

951
00:56:21.519 --> 00:56:27.920
both inwardly and outwardly. Inwardly love for God perfectly and

952
00:56:27.960 --> 00:56:32.679
love for neighbor perfectly. Outwardly actions that fully confirm to

953
00:56:32.719 --> 00:56:37.639
God's law and word, thought and deed perfect worship and independence.

954
00:56:37.800 --> 00:56:40.960
True holiness includes worshiping God with a pure heart and

955
00:56:41.039 --> 00:56:44.519
fully depending on Him in every moment. Since even our

956
00:56:44.519 --> 00:56:47.480
best efforts are tainted by sin, holiness in this life

957
00:56:47.639 --> 00:56:55.639
is never perfect, even if we surrender our will. So

958
00:56:55.719 --> 00:56:57.000
the whole sermon just.

959
00:56:58.840 --> 00:57:03.440
It's a mess. So we reviewed two sermons. No, we

960
00:57:03.440 --> 00:57:04.119
didn't even review.

961
00:57:04.239 --> 00:57:08.239
We analyzed two sermons utilizing AI, and AI was able

962
00:57:08.280 --> 00:57:13.119
to clearly indicate, clearly demonstrate all of the problems in

963
00:57:13.159 --> 00:57:19.559
these sermons geographical errors, logical errors, textual errors, biblical errors,

964
00:57:19.599 --> 00:57:22.960
theological errors. It was able to do so in we

965
00:57:23.000 --> 00:57:26.280
reviewed both. AI was able to analyze both of those

966
00:57:26.320 --> 00:57:30.360
sermons and a total of probably less than ten seconds,

967
00:57:30.400 --> 00:57:33.079
maybe about seven to eight seconds, and then any of

968
00:57:33.079 --> 00:57:38.119
my follow up questions was answered within three to four seconds. Now,

969
00:57:38.719 --> 00:57:43.239
now I will argue this, the more theology you know,

970
00:57:44.519 --> 00:57:48.480
the more hermeneutics you know, the more Bible you know,

971
00:57:49.280 --> 00:57:50.000
the better you.

972
00:57:50.000 --> 00:57:53.159
Will be at asking AI follow up questions.

973
00:57:53.639 --> 00:57:56.079
And then you can work with AI to then, like

974
00:57:56.199 --> 00:58:00.800
we just did, to pull some different concepts out, I

975
00:58:00.840 --> 00:58:03.599
could then come up with a we could work on

976
00:58:03.639 --> 00:58:06.559
a different interpretation of that John passage that was used

977
00:58:06.599 --> 00:58:09.039
in this sermon. We could do We could work with

978
00:58:09.079 --> 00:58:11.719
AI to come up with a better interpretation of Matthew

979
00:58:11.760 --> 00:58:12.400
twenty six.

980
00:58:13.000 --> 00:58:14.000
See the more you.

981
00:58:13.960 --> 00:58:17.320
Know, yes I will state this, the more you know

982
00:58:17.559 --> 00:58:22.280
does give you a greater ability to utilize everything AI

983
00:58:22.440 --> 00:58:26.840
can do. But even someone with very little knowledge can

984
00:58:26.880 --> 00:58:30.199
ask AI to analyze a sermon, to critique a sermon,

985
00:58:31.599 --> 00:58:35.280
to point out problems in a sermon, to be able

986
00:58:35.320 --> 00:58:38.119
to determine Wait, is this accurate or is this not accurate?

987
00:58:38.320 --> 00:58:45.840
Is this logical? Is this inconsistent? Now? I know that

988
00:58:45.920 --> 00:58:47.840
wasn't the most exciting thing to do.

989
00:58:47.800 --> 00:58:50.679
But what I wanted to demonstrate to you is how

990
00:58:50.760 --> 00:58:54.079
quickly AI could do that. I wanted to demonstrate to you, like,

991
00:58:54.119 --> 00:58:58.599
how is that going to change everything? Do you understand

992
00:58:58.599 --> 00:59:04.199
what can happen now that one a church member, if

993
00:59:04.239 --> 00:59:07.280
their church has their sermons say on sermonadio, a church

994
00:59:07.320 --> 00:59:10.239
member can come home once the sermon is uploaded, take

995
00:59:10.280 --> 00:59:16.119
the transcript and within five to ten seconds know every mistake, error,

996
00:59:16.199 --> 00:59:23.400
or problem their pastor committed or spoke and their sermon.

997
00:59:24.639 --> 00:59:27.960
They can literally within the pastor and the church can

998
00:59:28.039 --> 00:59:31.039
upload the sermon and within ten seconds after it's uploaded.

999
00:59:31.320 --> 00:59:34.480
Someone can immediately go pastor, you miss this, you miss this,

1000
00:59:34.559 --> 00:59:36.519
you miss this, you miss this, you miss this, you

1001
00:59:36.559 --> 00:59:45.360
miss this. In fact, while the pastor is preaching and

1002
00:59:45.400 --> 00:59:49.239
he makes a claim like hey, the disciples could see

1003
00:59:49.280 --> 00:59:52.000
the garden from the upper room, someone could literally open

1004
00:59:52.079 --> 00:59:55.800
up chat GPT in the church ask right there during

1005
00:59:55.840 --> 00:59:59.320
the sermon, and depending on the top of church, could

1006
00:59:59.320 --> 01:00:01.679
possibly raise hand to go pastor, that's just not true,

1007
01:00:02.119 --> 01:00:03.639
or at least it appears it's not true.

1008
01:00:03.679 --> 01:00:06.000
Where did you get your information? And even if he doesn't,

1009
01:00:06.000 --> 01:00:06.719
they don't do it right there.

1010
01:00:06.760 --> 01:00:08.840
They can do it after the sermon Like that is

1011
01:00:08.880 --> 01:00:17.280
going to have a profound impact when the pastor offers

1012
01:00:17.280 --> 01:00:21.480
an interpretation, so we can literally ask AI and within

1013
01:00:21.559 --> 01:00:30.760
five seconds go, well, this interpretation has lots of problems. Now,

1014
01:00:30.800 --> 01:00:34.519
the more the person using chat GPT, the more theology

1015
01:00:34.559 --> 01:00:37.320
they know, the more Bible they know, the more the

1016
01:00:38.280 --> 01:00:40.239
more they know, the more they can the better they

1017
01:00:40.280 --> 01:00:43.079
can frame the question, the better they can ask the question.

1018
01:00:43.320 --> 01:00:45.360
At first, it may be a little difficult, but the

1019
01:00:45.360 --> 01:00:46.159
better you get at.

1020
01:00:46.119 --> 01:00:47.000
Asking the question.

1021
01:00:47.679 --> 01:00:50.679
Really, the only thing limiting your ability to get things

1022
01:00:50.719 --> 01:00:53.039
from AI is your ability to ask the questions in

1023
01:00:53.079 --> 01:00:57.360
a correct way. And that's where AI is today on

1024
01:00:57.440 --> 01:00:59.119
January the eighth, twenty twenty five.

1025
01:00:59.320 --> 01:01:00.000
Can you believe?

1026
01:01:00.079 --> 01:01:02.400
Can you imagine where AI is going to be by

1027
01:01:02.440 --> 01:01:11.440
the end of twenty twenty five. Now, if I want it,

1028
01:01:11.639 --> 01:01:14.480
I can go right now. I could take those passages

1029
01:01:14.480 --> 01:01:17.079
of scripture that these sermons use. We're already in an hour,

1030
01:01:17.199 --> 01:01:19.480
so I'll stop and won't do this. We're gonna be

1031
01:01:19.480 --> 01:01:21.400
talking about it all year. But guess what I can

1032
01:01:21.519 --> 01:01:28.800
now go back and say, okay, create a exegetical, philologically sound,

1033
01:01:28.960 --> 01:01:32.159
in depth sermon on the very text that these sermons

1034
01:01:32.159 --> 01:01:34.599
are based on. An AI would give, will give me

1035
01:01:34.840 --> 01:01:40.639
a philologically sound, biblically in depth, exegetical sermon, and it

1036
01:01:40.679 --> 01:01:43.840
will give it to me within five seconds. And I

1037
01:01:43.840 --> 01:01:45.800
guarantee you it will be an improvement of those sermons

1038
01:01:45.800 --> 01:01:47.039
that we just broke down.

1039
01:01:49.039 --> 01:01:50.519
I could sit here all day and.

1040
01:01:50.519 --> 01:01:53.840
Just take the sermons two points. Oh, the sermon audio website.

1041
01:01:54.159 --> 01:01:57.159
Look for a new sermon, analyze it. Oh, a new sermon,

1042
01:01:57.239 --> 01:01:59.000
analyze it, a new I could just sit here an

1043
01:01:59.000 --> 01:02:00.320
analyzed sermons all time day.

1044
01:02:00.599 --> 01:02:01.880
Look. I've analyzed my.

1045
01:02:01.960 --> 01:02:06.880
Own podcast episodes and sometimes I'm like, oh man, that's brutal. Hey,

1046
01:02:06.880 --> 01:02:09.920
I will rip me into shreds. Sometimes I'll realize the

1047
01:02:09.960 --> 01:02:13.800
mistakes I have made and people are trust me, there's

1048
01:02:14.199 --> 01:02:16.920
people out there doing that right now to the things

1049
01:02:17.000 --> 01:02:27.519
I have said, Now, where does that leave Where does

1050
01:02:27.559 --> 01:02:28.400
that lead us?

1051
01:02:28.440 --> 01:02:36.079
Where does that leave us? I don't know. I really

1052
01:02:36.159 --> 01:02:36.559
don't know.

1053
01:02:45.679 --> 01:02:48.480
It's it's I know it's a cliche to say it's

1054
01:02:48.519 --> 01:02:51.519
a brave new world, ladies and gentlemen, it's a brave

1055
01:02:51.599 --> 01:02:56.480
new world. You can sit there all day and just

1056
01:02:56.599 --> 01:03:01.480
upload the transcripts from sermons that are uploaded to sermon idio. Now,

1057
01:03:01.639 --> 01:03:04.679
I do apologize at the beginning that first one didn't work.

1058
01:03:07.480 --> 01:03:10.719
I so wanted to analyze that first one. I knew,

1059
01:03:10.760 --> 01:03:12.960
I knew there would be at least a little technical glitch.

1060
01:03:13.000 --> 01:03:16.800
But the technical glitch wasn't with with AI. The technical

1061
01:03:16.800 --> 01:03:20.480
glitch was why does that church not have the transcript available? Like?

1062
01:03:20.519 --> 01:03:22.079
What are you doing? What's going on?

1063
01:03:22.760 --> 01:03:29.840
So, yeah, I don't know what else to say. I

1064
01:03:29.840 --> 01:03:36.719
think we demonstrated what it can do. It it's got

1065
01:03:36.760 --> 01:03:42.280
to impact sermons, got to it's got to impact.

1066
01:03:42.400 --> 01:03:46.400
I don't know. All right, there's more more I could say,

1067
01:03:46.440 --> 01:03:49.360
but I'll stop right there. I'll stop right there, all right,

1068
01:03:49.639 --> 01:03:50.480
thanks for listening.

1069
01:03:51.639 --> 01:03:55.559
Twenty twenty five the year of artificial Intelligence. It's going

1070
01:03:55.599 --> 01:03:58.280
to impact Christianity. Ladies and gentlemen. You may not believe it.

1071
01:03:58.320 --> 01:04:00.159
You may want to deny, you may want to push back,

1072
01:04:00.159 --> 01:04:02.760
you may not want to agree with my assessment. But

1073
01:04:02.760 --> 01:04:06.679
I'm telling you that nothing's ever going to be the

1074
01:04:06.719 --> 01:04:11.559
same again. Now Christianity will be five ten years behind.

1075
01:04:11.639 --> 01:04:14.719
I know that Christianity the Church loves to be behind,

1076
01:04:15.840 --> 01:04:19.000
but you can be behind. But I'm telling you you're

1077
01:04:19.000 --> 01:04:22.599
becoming more the church in Christianity, or not Christianity the church,

1078
01:04:22.639 --> 01:04:29.360
I should say, pastors, Bible teachers, theological based podcast we're

1079
01:04:29.360 --> 01:04:34.960
becoming irrelevant. A I can do anything A pastor can do,

1080
01:04:35.840 --> 01:04:41.320
far better, far quicker. Ay, I can do anything I

1081
01:04:41.360 --> 01:04:44.519
can do, far better, far quicker, more accurate.

1082
01:04:51.840 --> 01:04:52.519
I mean, I.

1083
01:04:52.519 --> 01:04:55.440
Probably you know, I probably mispronounced who knows how many

1084
01:04:55.440 --> 01:05:02.199
different things. When when I was trying to get AI

1085
01:05:02.280 --> 01:05:06.920
to work, I think my voice and my throat was

1086
01:05:06.960 --> 01:05:11.000
making sounds. I was having to swallow a little bit more.

1087
01:05:11.039 --> 01:05:13.400
AI doesn't have to have any of those problems. You

1088
01:05:13.480 --> 01:05:16.159
can you can rip apart everything that I do. Some

1089
01:05:16.159 --> 01:05:20.559
people say you're too repetitive. AI is not repetitive. I

1090
01:05:20.599 --> 01:05:24.079
mean you can just think of every mistake, every criticism

1091
01:05:24.119 --> 01:05:28.039
I have ever received as a broadcaster. AI will never

1092
01:05:28.079 --> 01:05:35.880
get any of those criticisms ever, and I can do

1093
01:05:35.920 --> 01:05:40.360
it much quicker than I can do. You realize if

1094
01:05:40.400 --> 01:05:42.239
I was to break down any of those sermons, if

1095
01:05:42.239 --> 01:05:43.639
I was to listen to it and break it down,

1096
01:05:43.840 --> 01:05:46.039
do you know how long that would take me to

1097
01:05:46.199 --> 01:05:49.400
listen to the whole thing while taking notes, then working

1098
01:05:49.440 --> 01:05:53.320
out everything that's claiming, then working out the problems looking up.

1099
01:05:54.760 --> 01:05:56.280
And I don't even know if I would have caught

1100
01:05:56.320 --> 01:05:58.480
all of those issues. You know what, if I was

1101
01:05:58.519 --> 01:06:00.320
listening to that sermon, I don't know if I would

1102
01:06:00.360 --> 01:06:02.719
have caught Wait a minute, can they see the garden

1103
01:06:02.719 --> 01:06:04.880
from the upper room. I don't even know if I

1104
01:06:04.880 --> 01:06:05.519
would have caught that.

1105
01:06:14.079 --> 01:06:17.880
All right, thanks for listening everyone, Have a great day.

1106
01:06:18.000 --> 01:06:18.480
God bless
