In the computer world Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been around since day one. Even the old “Pong” arcade game was very early AI. Today we hear a lot about ChatGPT which will write your term paper for you. It does so by pulling from all the information now on the World Wide Web.
But none of the AI can compare to Divine Intelligence (DI). The Holy Bible has provided the world with answers to man’s greatest questions. The brainpower from AI comes from man, while DI comes from God almighty; “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways. And My thoughts than your thoughts (Isa. 55:9). Whose intelligence do you choose to follow?
All the writings of ChatGPT are from man, while “All scripture is inspired by God” (2 Tim. 3:16), everything on the internet is of human origin, while no scripture “was ever made by an act of human will, but men moved by the holy Spirit spoke from God” (2 Pet. 1:20,21). We all appreciate the AI that makes our lives better. But it is the revealed Word of God that teaches us how to live, how to be forgiven of our sins, and how to die with the hope of eternal life. It is the DI, not AI, that truly makes our lives better!
