Don't believe everything you see on Twitter. I have talked with ChatGPT about the bible many times.

I literally taught someone to create (well expound) their Sunday school lessons using chat GPT. It was all pretty legit information.

Worked for me. There’s an easy catch to verify such nonsense.

Yeah, that’s simply not accurate. I’ve used ChatGPT to help prepare Bible lessons before.

Regardless, people are now the bait. The privilege of being human has been rescinded from us which is why we are now relying upon something nonhuman. They even call it artificial.

Seems folks are pretty consistent at NOT understanding this. But whatever works for them. No worries.

Online stuff like this is so obnoxious

I have theology discussions with ChatGPT and Claude. They both not only do it, they take the tone of a fervent, orthodox (little o) Christian instead of a neutral resource. There are all sorts of side discussions and words of caution about faith and AI but this is not that.

Q: Chat GPT simply refuses to quote or read the Bible?

A: No. I can quote, discuss, and analyze the Bible. If you've encountered a refusal, it's usually because of one of a few situations:

• Copyright: Some modern Bible translations (such as the NIV, NLT, ESV, CSB, etc.) are copyrighted. I can quote them, but not provide very long passages. Public-domain translations like the King James Version (KJV) and American Standard Version (ASV) can generally be quoted much more extensively.
• Length: If you ask for an entire book or many chapters, I may summarize rather than reproduce the whole text.
• Safety or context: If a request involves using scripture to justify harming someone or similar issues, I'll address the request safely while still discussing the biblical text.

For example, here's John 3:16 (KJV):
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."

Or Psalm 23:1–4 (KJV):
"The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me."


I can also:
Quote verses from specific translations (within copyright limits).
Compare translations (KJV, NKJV, ESV, NIV, NASB, NRSV, etc.).
Discuss historical context, Greek or Hebrew meanings, and different theological interpretations.
Read through passages with you verse by verse.

If there's a specific verse or passage that you previously asked for and I declined, tell me which one. I can explain why that happened and, if appropriate, provide the passage.

Me too. It's been helpful with cross references, definitions.

When I was in Greece, it gave me references as to where in the Bible location was mentioned.

The internet is not a great place to gain understanding of anything. Take this thread for example. It started with a tweet claiming "Chat GPT simply refuses to quote or read the Bible" and a video of a purported example, but the OP didn't try to verify the claim. So far we've had a few people claim the opposite. Nobody on either side directly supported their claim by personally prompting GPT to quote or read the Bible and pasting the response as evidence.

Edit: Finally, NC Tiger stepped up with a direct response from Chat GPT.

And what did we learn? That those of us saying the OP was bullshite were absolutely correct.

One thing that I don't like about what the internet has become in places like this is how everyone needs a source for everything or people simply don't believe it. Like, if you create a thread saying, "hey yall, X happened." You'll get 20 assholes rushing into the thread screaming, "Nice source, you fricking liar!"

This is wrong... chatGPT has discussed the Bible, and particular verses, with me many times.

I'm not sure if you're agreeing or disagreeing with what I said. Opinions are fine, but on the internet it's very difficult to distinguish opinion from fact. Direct sources are helpful in doing that, which is what NC Tiger did. Sometimes twitter is wrong, sometimes the people criticizing twitter are wrong. That's why I said the internet is not a great place to gain understanding; most people are light on verification of what they claim, so it takes a lot of reading and work to separate the opinions from the facts.

Understood.

For me, the burden / responsibility of proof is on the original claimant for something as easily verifiable as this.

EDIT: If it’s something I care about, it’s up to me to verify.

It seems like people regularly update their ChatGPT instructions to make it do something outrageous and then post about it. ChatGPT can have deep theological discussions if you want it to or it can literally be a demon. Just depends on what you you tell it to do when interacting with you
