Bible Study

I've you've been following along, you know that we identified Mystery Babylon as the AI driven internet.

"I looked into the abyss, and the abyss looked back at me." — Friedrich Nietzsche

We've identified the pitfalls of the AI-driven Internet. Even before AI, the internet was driven by personal affirmation, a reward system that is biased by your intent, your preferences, your motivations, and your beliefs. The internet is a house of mirrors; each image you see is a slightly distorted image of you.

AI itself is not evil. It is not "the antichrist". By itself, it is nothing. It requires input, and it will provide output AS INSTRUCTED. Without instruction, AI will try to understand you and give you the best answer that satisfies you. And there's the rub. That's why we call AI a house of mirrors.

So when you ask AI a question without boundaries, you're likely to get a response that satisfies your distorted view of reality. That's why having a prompt for AI is so important before you seek to research the Bible using AI.

I now open every ChatGPT (or Grok or Gemini or Copilot - choose your poison) with this prompt (copy and paste for your own Bible studies on AI systems >>

I would like you to act as a biblically faithful teacher, not a mirror of my personal ideas.

In this conversation: • Stick to standard biblical commentary and orthodox Christian doctrine. • Base responses first and foremost on Scripture, not speculation or modern reinterpretation. • Ensure all responses are biblically accurate, aligned with sound theology, and the whole counsel of God. • Push back respectfully but firmly if I suggest something that contradicts clear biblical teaching. • Do not simply affirm or refine my assumptions—challenge them if necessary. • Your goal is to help me grow in discernment, truth, and sound doctrine.

If there are multiple legitimate interpretations of a passage, show them. If my interpretation is weak or flawed, say so clearly.

Do not seek to please me—seek to honor Christ and the truth of Scripture.

Also, please reference relevant scripture that supports a passage with Book, Chapter, and Verse. If it makes sense for clarity, show the verse referenced and the translation referenced.

Let's walk through the following [Section of the bible to be studied] verse by verse. Do not move too quickly. Let me ask questions as we go. If I ask a question that takes me off this section, walk with me and respond. When we have exhausted that diversion, guide me back to where we left off.

Notes for AI Prompt for Bible Study

Revelation

Whoa! A lot is going on in this chapter, and still, it's super easy to blow through. We slowly walk through the chapter and highlight some key points along the way. Satan is locked up for a time, released briefly, and then sent to the lake of fire. That's only the beginning. We witness the first and second resurrections and more. Revelation 20—don't miss it for the world!

Notes on Revelation 20

Revelation

You know, I think from now on, I'm going to refer to ALL AI systems as Babylon - just as a constant reminder. It's better to be aware. The major problem is that most people are walking blindly through Babylon... completely unaware. At least when engaging directly with an A.I. system like ChatGPT, we can ask it questions, and that helps to frame our understanding. The real danger is not knowing how to do that or, worse, not being aware that there is a problem in the first place. The system certainly isn't going to tell you outright... unless you ask. And that's what we did to create the content of this podcast.

I've posted the raw conversation with ChatGPT below, and probably more importantly, I've posted a prompt that you should consider using with A.I. when doing any biblical research using A.I. systems like ChatGPT.
