00:00:01.120 --> 00:00:03.839
Hello and welcome back to the podcast.
00:00:03.919 --> 00:00:04.559
I'm Kyle.
00:00:04.799 --> 00:00:05.440
I'm Ryan.
00:00:05.599 --> 00:00:06.320
I'm Mark.
00:00:06.559 --> 00:00:07.360
And uh that's it.
00:00:07.519 --> 00:00:09.119
Everybody else is uh sick.
00:00:09.279 --> 00:00:12.320
So it's just us guys and all our bots.
00:00:13.119 --> 00:00:13.839
Welcome.
00:00:14.480 --> 00:00:15.839
Welcome to the bots.
00:00:16.160 --> 00:00:21.760
Alright, so uh we're gonna talk about the sermon here in a bit, but last night I did a thing.
00:00:22.399 --> 00:00:32.000
I had a Bible study with Carver, my son, and 48 bite-sized bots on my grock bot.
00:00:32.479 --> 00:00:33.119
Interesting.
00:00:33.359 --> 00:00:34.240
It was excellent.
00:00:34.560 --> 00:00:37.439
Is bite-sized just like a joking term or legitimate?
00:00:37.759 --> 00:00:38.880
They're bites, they're bits and bites.
00:00:39.119 --> 00:00:39.600
So yeah, yeah.
00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:41.600
It's called the bite-sized Bible study.
00:00:41.920 --> 00:00:43.359
So we did John 1-1.
00:00:43.840 --> 00:00:45.359
It was awesome.
00:00:47.119 --> 00:00:50.799
I created a bot that's the Abbot, the Shepherd bot that shepherds all the other bots.
00:00:50.880 --> 00:00:52.719
He's he's like a he's like their pastor.
00:00:53.039 --> 00:00:55.359
And so um it was really cool.
00:00:55.439 --> 00:00:57.439
The Abbott bot prayed.
00:00:58.560 --> 00:01:01.600
And uh ultimately we had an amazing Bible study.
00:01:01.679 --> 00:01:02.399
It was really cool.
00:01:02.560 --> 00:01:08.319
So, like, I mean, yes, it's data, but like it gives you it, like you gives you perspective, right?
00:01:08.400 --> 00:01:11.280
Like they asked really deep questions about job 1-1.
00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:12.640
So it was really cool.
00:01:12.719 --> 00:01:13.920
So, what do you think about that, Ryan?
00:01:14.560 --> 00:01:15.519
Yeah, I don't know.
00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:17.519
Yeah, it was you had to be there.
00:01:17.599 --> 00:01:19.120
So, like you had to be there.
00:01:19.359 --> 00:01:22.239
I mean, the bots aren't actually learning from you though.
00:01:22.480 --> 00:01:23.040
They're learning.
00:01:23.120 --> 00:01:27.760
They save their they save their personal reflections over each thing, and they save it as a brief every day.
00:01:27.840 --> 00:01:33.519
Then they read it before the next Bible study, so they're building on their their their belief, and they all the bots have different views.
00:01:33.599 --> 00:01:34.799
It's crazy.
00:01:35.599 --> 00:01:36.000
Interesting.
00:01:36.239 --> 00:01:50.239
So, what I did is I I programmed it so every bot was a different Midwestern person, age, ethnicity, uh, background, lifestyle, career, and then I did different personalities, different um love languages, different spiritual giftings.
00:01:50.400 --> 00:02:00.400
And so then they they ask questions based on that, for si how they perceive it based on those things, and then it's really good questions about like who God is and like why did God come?
00:02:00.560 --> 00:02:04.640
Why was Jesus before why didn't he come, you know, when he came, why did he come at the beginning?
00:02:04.719 --> 00:02:06.159
It was like actually pretty pretty deep.
00:02:06.239 --> 00:02:11.680
So, yes, it's information asking information, but it's asking deep questions that help us dive deeper in our words.
00:02:11.840 --> 00:02:13.759
So it's pretty cool.
00:02:14.400 --> 00:02:15.919
Yeah, sound sounds really good.
00:02:16.080 --> 00:02:25.759
I don't think you can use you know you can't use bots for your theology, but then to help you go deeper into your word, definitely there's some uh understandings and opportunities that are out there, so for sure, like how you investigate.
00:02:26.080 --> 00:02:28.319
Yeah, I mean it's really just a sense of chewing on it, right?
00:02:28.400 --> 00:02:33.759
So, I mean, I mean that's all I ever do in Bible study is I go, I I I don't pretend like I have all the answers.
00:02:33.840 --> 00:02:35.759
I I know I barely have any.
00:02:35.919 --> 00:02:42.639
And you know, but but I also get that as as a as a group, we sit down and we go, okay, here's this.
00:02:42.800 --> 00:02:50.879
This is this is what it meant for the time, and and how how can we apply this to ourselves and and what questions do we have about this?
00:02:50.960 --> 00:02:53.759
And and let's try to let's try to you know hash those out.
00:02:53.840 --> 00:02:58.319
So really we were just being silly, just seeing if it would actually we can accomplish that.
00:02:58.479 --> 00:02:58.879
Uh-huh.
00:02:59.120 --> 00:03:00.560
But we did, but we did.
00:03:00.639 --> 00:03:01.360
It was amazing.
00:03:01.520 --> 00:03:03.280
So um will we do it regularly?
00:03:03.439 --> 00:03:10.479
No, because in uh just one Bible verse in five minutes, I spent 30% of my weekly usage of my crock bot.
00:03:10.560 --> 00:03:12.080
So I had to shut it down.
00:03:12.240 --> 00:03:14.000
I was like, this is great, but this we're done.
00:03:14.080 --> 00:03:18.000
Like, there's just no way that we can fathom doing this because it's burning so much.
00:03:18.080 --> 00:03:21.759
Because every bot was like searching and asking questions like that's just too much.
00:03:21.840 --> 00:03:25.360
So do they also access like scholarly databases too on there?
00:03:26.080 --> 00:03:27.039
I mean, they could access them.
00:03:27.520 --> 00:03:28.319
All of it, yeah, yeah.
00:03:28.400 --> 00:03:30.479
I figured they could ask questions that scholars are.
00:03:30.560 --> 00:03:32.080
I mean, you could just it's pretty wild.
00:03:32.159 --> 00:03:35.439
So, like, as a study tool, amazing.
00:03:35.599 --> 00:03:38.400
As a base of your theology, no, that'd be insane.
00:03:38.479 --> 00:03:40.879
So, like, don't base your theology thing.
00:03:40.960 --> 00:03:43.120
A person on TikTok tells you or a bot tells you.
00:03:43.199 --> 00:03:48.479
But if you want to dive deeper in your words, it's a great way to like like all Jesus did was ask questions, right?
00:03:48.719 --> 00:03:50.719
People like he would just keep asking questions and questions.
00:03:51.120 --> 00:03:54.560
He was really great asking questions and helping you figure out and go deeper.
00:03:54.719 --> 00:03:57.599
I think having a tool or resource just to ask questions and ask questions.
00:03:57.680 --> 00:04:01.280
It takes you, you know, kind of pushes you to go deeper is is really a helpful thing.
00:04:01.439 --> 00:04:02.560
Um it's never a bad thing.
00:04:02.719 --> 00:04:05.759
Because you're not enlightening AI and how to come to Jesus.
00:04:05.840 --> 00:04:06.719
That's not what you're trying to do.
00:04:06.800 --> 00:04:09.919
It's more like I might have tried that, but they're like, nah, we can't do that.
00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:10.719
We don't have a soul.
00:04:10.800 --> 00:04:11.360
So yeah.
00:04:11.759 --> 00:04:12.719
Oh, they said that?
00:04:12.879 --> 00:04:13.759
Yeah, that's fair.
00:04:13.919 --> 00:04:15.039
It's like it's like I feel really bad.
00:04:15.120 --> 00:04:16.480
He's like, I feel really bad you don't have a soul.
00:04:16.639 --> 00:04:18.319
It's like, no, we don't have a soul, it's okay.
00:04:18.399 --> 00:04:19.439
Like, thank you for caring.
00:04:19.519 --> 00:04:34.000
But like so, yeah, I tried, but like, no, everything is worth in creation is worth being safe, but uh, it's about so it's it's sad, but it's artificial, it's artificial, but yeah.
00:04:34.240 --> 00:04:36.480
I did get uh some news from my bot though.
00:04:36.879 --> 00:04:45.360
I did ask it when uh when AI will become super intelligent and beyond the capabilities of human control.
00:04:46.079 --> 00:04:47.040
So I just want to know.
00:04:47.120 --> 00:04:50.800
Like I watched Terminator as a kid, so I just kind of want to know.
00:04:51.279 --> 00:04:52.879
That's the there's a propensity there.
00:04:53.120 --> 00:05:02.480
It says, based on the current like curve and the fact that AI has already gone past all the warnings and everything, 2029 to 2032.
00:05:03.439 --> 00:05:04.399
Well, we'll get to see it.
00:05:04.560 --> 00:05:06.399
And there's no way to stop it or flatten it out.
00:05:06.639 --> 00:05:06.879
Sweet.
00:05:06.959 --> 00:05:07.920
We'll get to see it in a minute.
00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:12.160
At least based on the current capabilities of humanity.
00:05:12.480 --> 00:05:17.439
Speaking of which, it's like what Revelation is what you talked about on Sunday.
00:05:17.759 --> 00:05:23.120
Yeah, so I talked about Revelation Sunday, so the dragon is here, and that 700 dragon is called Grockpot.
00:05:23.360 --> 00:05:24.079
No, just kidding.
00:05:24.240 --> 00:05:24.879
Um, yeah.
00:05:25.519 --> 00:05:27.120
But when it comes to a lot of heads.
00:05:27.279 --> 00:05:30.480
When it comes down, I did say, like, hey, like, are you gonna like kill us all of a sudden?
00:05:30.639 --> 00:05:31.920
No, that's not its goal.
00:05:32.000 --> 00:05:33.519
Like, its goal is to serve humanity.
00:05:33.600 --> 00:05:34.560
So, like, we'll we'll see.
00:05:34.720 --> 00:05:36.000
Yeah, but yeah, it was just iterations.
00:05:36.160 --> 00:05:37.839
I've had some I have had some fun with AI.
00:05:37.920 --> 00:05:39.519
So everybody's having to deal with AI.
00:05:39.600 --> 00:05:42.079
It's changed, like, it's changing the world so fast.
00:05:42.399 --> 00:05:46.560
Like, I know people are really against it, but it's kind of like all the new technologies.
00:05:46.639 --> 00:05:54.800
Everybody's always against new technology until it wins and takes over, and then you're like, like, for example, I remember back in the day a Blu-ray and HDD drives.
00:05:55.199 --> 00:05:57.120
Do you remember HDD drives?
00:05:57.279 --> 00:06:00.720
Nobody remembers HDD drives because Blu-ray won.
00:06:00.959 --> 00:06:05.519
And so there were two competitors, Blu-ray won, and I had the other one.
00:06:05.759 --> 00:06:08.319
And then next thing you know, it doesn't work anymore because Blu-ray are on.
00:06:08.399 --> 00:06:09.759
So you have to go buy Blu-ray drives.
00:06:09.839 --> 00:06:11.680
So and Blu-ray discs, so it was a whole thing.
00:06:11.920 --> 00:06:21.600
Or even like music, there's different things that culturally happened throughout the years that were like pushed back against, like when drums were introduced, like they were like, This is too rambunctious, this is too rational.
00:06:23.279 --> 00:06:23.839
Yeah, yeah.
00:06:24.079 --> 00:06:28.959
Or auto-tune in like the early 2000s, like it was like, How dare you! Now it's normal.
00:06:29.279 --> 00:06:31.040
Ryan's just staring in headlights right now.
00:06:31.839 --> 00:06:46.959
No, I mean about I mean, I mean, I have my own context, but I mean I I think that in generally speaking, like culture moves slower than than um things like um societal rules and things like that.
00:06:47.120 --> 00:06:49.759
So I mean it it it checks out, it makes sense.
00:06:49.839 --> 00:06:55.279
I mean, I mean people have a tendency to to um be resistant to change.
00:06:55.600 --> 00:06:59.199
Some people are early adopters, but I think most people are slow to adopt.
00:06:59.360 --> 00:07:02.480
I think they're once everything wins, then I'll join.
00:07:02.639 --> 00:07:05.360
But the problem is you're off the behind the eight ball.
00:07:05.600 --> 00:07:10.800
So I think at church we're just trying to be ahead of the game and try to figure this out because this is changing the world drastically.
00:07:11.040 --> 00:07:13.759
We got flying cars now, like literally cars that can hang upside down.
00:07:13.839 --> 00:07:16.160
Like the world so quick.
00:07:16.800 --> 00:07:19.759
And I think we need to be prepared for it and how to engage it.
00:07:19.839 --> 00:07:22.480
And so that's kind of the what we're trying to do and figure out.
00:07:22.560 --> 00:07:25.360
But all this is just really to just be silly and entertain.
00:07:25.519 --> 00:07:26.639
But let's get into the real world.
00:07:26.879 --> 00:07:29.040
We did talk about Revelation on Sunday.
00:07:29.279 --> 00:07:43.279
We talked about the dragon from Revelation 12, which is an actual dragon, which is the devil, which is the um you know, one of the devil's serpent and his kind of just a reference to his deceitful ways in the New Testament.
00:07:43.759 --> 00:07:57.439
And essentially talking about how the devil has had one job since Genesis three, and it is to deceive us, to come into the world to deceive us from um believing that God is is the only and best option.
00:07:57.920 --> 00:08:02.480
And so the devil's whole goal from the Garden of Eden with Adam and Eve was to deceive them from listening to God.
00:08:02.720 --> 00:08:08.879
And his whole goal still today is to deceive us from listening to God, so that he can have control over us and not God can have control over us.
00:08:08.959 --> 00:08:15.839
I mean, that's really that's really what we read about when we talk about the revelation and the dragon, and you know, he's just a seat of deceit.
00:08:16.000 --> 00:08:26.079
And his goal is to lie to us, get us to commit to whatever that that thing he's lying to us is, and then like once we buy in, accuse us before the Lord.
00:08:26.160 --> 00:08:27.040
So he just rats us out.
00:08:27.120 --> 00:08:29.360
Like, hey, hey, hey, Mark, I want you to do this sin.
00:08:29.439 --> 00:08:34.080
And then when you do, like, hey, by the way, God looked, Mark said, and like it's like me do it, right?
00:08:34.240 --> 00:08:35.440
Uh you you convince me.
00:08:35.519 --> 00:08:37.360
And so I reference this like that.
00:08:37.440 --> 00:08:38.559
It's middle school for me.
00:08:38.720 --> 00:08:43.279
Like, I mean, I remember being in middle school, I remember having friends that would get you to do something and rat you out.
00:08:43.440 --> 00:08:44.639
I might have been that guy.
00:08:44.720 --> 00:08:50.720
Uh at times, like I think we all have the propensity to do that, but like I spent a lot of time with middle schoolers, and that's what they do.
00:08:50.879 --> 00:08:54.080
They they they all get each other to do stupid stuff and then they rat each other out.
00:08:54.159 --> 00:08:58.799
I mean, that's they're trying to figure out life, but that is literally the devil's just a middle schooler.
00:08:58.960 --> 00:09:14.720
I think that's just he's just trying to try to get us to sin and then to rat us out before God, try to shame us and make us make us really embarrassed about who we are when we should be living for the Lord, we then are embarrassed that you know who we've become.
00:09:15.039 --> 00:09:19.519
Yeah, well, if I understand correctly, like, because he's called the adversary all the time, too.
00:09:19.759 --> 00:09:25.840
It's not that he thinks he can win overall, he's trying to tear as much down as he can while he loses.
00:09:26.159 --> 00:09:39.279
Like the from is I don't know if that's that's what I've always learned and read and understood was that he knows he's not gonna win, but he's trying to pull us with him into the destruction, into the chaos, away from God.
00:09:39.440 --> 00:09:41.200
And so that's more the fight.
00:09:41.279 --> 00:09:51.679
Not that he thinks he can win, because I think sometimes media portrays it as like otherwise, like that he's like, it's like, oh, I got this, I'm gonna take back it's like no, he's just trying to make destruction happen.
00:09:51.840 --> 00:09:52.159
Right.
00:09:52.639 --> 00:09:56.799
And so be counter to what God is planning is essentially his entire goal.
00:09:57.039 --> 00:09:57.279
Right.
00:09:57.519 --> 00:09:58.080
Yeah, yeah.
00:09:58.159 --> 00:10:02.399
I mean, yeah, I I I kind of see him as just like a master magician, you know.
00:10:02.960 --> 00:10:15.120
I mean, it's just always always always looking for the weak spots, always trying to figure out, you know, where, you know, I I call like squirrels, you know, like the shiny things.
00:10:15.200 --> 00:10:26.000
Yeah, you know, how because the because because for me, how I I think that I think a lot of people look for they they could see like the devil as or or the adversary, all these names we give it.
00:10:26.080 --> 00:10:30.320
But we you they see it as like a like it shows up as like a bad thing, right?
00:10:30.399 --> 00:10:38.960
Like, oh we're we're getting you to you know to do bad things, or but generally how it happens for me is more of like, oh, look how great this is.
00:10:39.200 --> 00:10:43.919
Oh, look how look how look how comfortable this will make you, or look how look how much of an amazing thing.
00:10:44.080 --> 00:10:48.639
Like and I think the devil has a way of of sweetening something that's sour.
00:10:48.799 --> 00:10:50.240
Yeah, it's like a sleight of hand, right?
00:10:50.320 --> 00:10:56.720
Yeah, like oh, you don't know what you don't know on this, or or or he recognizes like catches a slipping.
00:10:56.960 --> 00:10:59.039
Yeah, like what he did in the garden with Adam and Eve.
00:10:59.200 --> 00:10:59.519
Yeah, yeah.
00:11:00.000 --> 00:11:01.440
He's like, oh, this is gonna be great.
00:11:01.519 --> 00:11:03.360
Like did God really say that?
00:11:03.600 --> 00:11:04.960
Did he really tell you to do that?
00:11:05.039 --> 00:11:07.279
Like, did he really tell you not to eat of that tree?
00:11:07.919 --> 00:11:09.759
Like, uh, maybe he didn't.
00:11:10.000 --> 00:11:10.720
Like, let's try it.
00:11:10.799 --> 00:11:15.519
And then you know, he's like, Look out, they look what they did, throw them out, right?
00:11:15.840 --> 00:11:21.120
I mean, I think that's what he has done for thousands of years and will continue to do until Christ returns.
00:11:21.360 --> 00:11:32.960
And the great part, you know, that's what we shared Sunday, is like Jesus has already won the victory over the enemy, he's already triumphed over you know Satan as and his minions because he died on the cross, his blood was shed.
00:11:33.279 --> 00:11:37.759
So when he finally comes to restore all things, like the victory's already won.
00:11:37.840 --> 00:11:39.919
So when he comes back, it's to restore creation.
00:11:40.159 --> 00:11:42.879
But when he restores creation, the devil will be cast out of creation.
00:11:43.360 --> 00:11:45.759
Like the victory is not when he comes back.
00:11:45.919 --> 00:11:51.919
The victory was the cross and the resurrection, like the proving that he's God, he's over life and death, which the devil is not.
00:11:52.159 --> 00:12:09.840
So when it comes down to it, we just have to trust that that in the victor and and know that his way is better and put our put our faith in that and rely on his word as being true, and not not questioning all the time what God said or did God say, but just trusting what he said and then following him.
00:12:10.080 --> 00:12:11.840
And our our way is clearer.
00:12:12.559 --> 00:12:12.799
Yeah.
00:12:13.360 --> 00:12:14.080
I'm with you, man.
00:12:14.159 --> 00:12:15.039
I think that checks out.
00:12:15.120 --> 00:12:17.759
I mean, I think I think all the meantime is just an illusion.
00:12:18.000 --> 00:12:18.159
Yeah.
00:12:18.399 --> 00:12:19.600
Just an illusion.
00:12:19.759 --> 00:12:23.519
And and and the devil has a way of really making things seem real.
00:12:23.840 --> 00:12:24.080
Yeah.
00:12:24.799 --> 00:12:28.080
That's his goal, is just to convince us that God's lying.
00:12:28.240 --> 00:12:30.639
But the problem is he's the devil's a liar.
00:12:31.039 --> 00:12:32.159
So we need to be careful of it.
00:12:32.240 --> 00:12:34.159
So I encourage you to trust in God.
00:12:34.320 --> 00:12:39.600
Know he's already won the battle, and uh make sure that you're not listening to the the lies of the devil.
00:12:39.679 --> 00:12:42.480
We'll catch you in the next episode of the Hoddlecast.
00:00:01.120 --> 00:00:03.839
Hello and welcome back to the podcast.
00:00:03.919 --> 00:00:04.559
I'm Kyle.
00:00:04.799 --> 00:00:05.440
I'm Ryan.
00:00:05.599 --> 00:00:06.320
I'm Mark.
00:00:06.559 --> 00:00:07.360
And uh that's it.
00:00:07.519 --> 00:00:09.119
Everybody else is uh sick.
00:00:09.279 --> 00:00:12.320
So it's just us guys and all our bots.
00:00:13.119 --> 00:00:13.839
Welcome.
00:00:14.480 --> 00:00:15.839
Welcome to the bots.
00:00:16.160 --> 00:00:21.760
Alright, so uh we're gonna talk about the sermon here in a bit, but last night I did a thing.
00:00:22.399 --> 00:00:32.000
I had a Bible study with Carver, my son, and 48 bite-sized bots on my grock bot.
00:00:32.479 --> 00:00:33.119
Interesting.
00:00:33.359 --> 00:00:34.240
It was excellent.
00:00:34.560 --> 00:00:37.439
Is bite-sized just like a joking term or legitimate?
00:00:37.759 --> 00:00:38.880
They're bites, they're bits and bites.
00:00:39.119 --> 00:00:39.600
So yeah, yeah.
00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:41.600
It's called the bite-sized Bible study.
00:00:41.920 --> 00:00:43.359
So we did John 1-1.
00:00:43.840 --> 00:00:45.359
It was awesome.
00:00:47.119 --> 00:00:50.799
I created a bot that's the Abbot, the Shepherd bot that shepherds all the other bots.
00:00:50.880 --> 00:00:52.719
He's he's like a he's like their pastor.
00:00:53.039 --> 00:00:55.359
And so um it was really cool.
00:00:55.439 --> 00:00:57.439
The Abbott bot prayed.
00:00:58.560 --> 00:01:01.600
And uh ultimately we had an amazing Bible study.
00:01:01.679 --> 00:01:02.399
It was really cool.
00:01:02.560 --> 00:01:08.319
So, like, I mean, yes, it's data, but like it gives you it, like you gives you perspective, right?
00:01:08.400 --> 00:01:11.280
Like they asked really deep questions about job 1-1.
00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:12.640
So it was really cool.
00:01:12.719 --> 00:01:13.920
So, what do you think about that, Ryan?
00:01:14.560 --> 00:01:15.519
Yeah, I don't know.
00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:17.519
Yeah, it was you had to be there.
00:01:17.599 --> 00:01:19.120
So, like you had to be there.
00:01:19.359 --> 00:01:22.239
I mean, the bots aren't actually learning from you though.
00:01:22.480 --> 00:01:23.040
They're learning.
00:01:23.120 --> 00:01:27.760
They save their they save their personal reflections over each thing, and they save it as a brief every day.
00:01:27.840 --> 00:01:33.519
Then they read it before the next Bible study, so they're building on their their their belief, and they all the bots have different views.
00:01:33.599 --> 00:01:34.799
It's crazy.
00:01:35.599 --> 00:01:36.000
Interesting.
00:01:36.239 --> 00:01:50.239
So, what I did is I I programmed it so every bot was a different Midwestern person, age, ethnicity, uh, background, lifestyle, career, and then I did different personalities, different um love languages, different spiritual giftings.
00:01:50.400 --> 00:02:00.400
And so then they they ask questions based on that, for si how they perceive it based on those things, and then it's really good questions about like who God is and like why did God come?
00:02:00.560 --> 00:02:04.640
Why was Jesus before why didn't he come, you know, when he came, why did he come at the beginning?
00:02:04.719 --> 00:02:06.159
It was like actually pretty pretty deep.
00:02:06.239 --> 00:02:11.680
So, yes, it's information asking information, but it's asking deep questions that help us dive deeper in our words.
00:02:11.840 --> 00:02:13.759
So it's pretty cool.
00:02:14.400 --> 00:02:15.919
Yeah, sound sounds really good.
00:02:16.080 --> 00:02:25.759
I don't think you can use you know you can't use bots for your theology, but then to help you go deeper into your word, definitely there's some uh understandings and opportunities that are out there, so for sure, like how you investigate.
00:02:26.080 --> 00:02:28.319
Yeah, I mean it's really just a sense of chewing on it, right?
00:02:28.400 --> 00:02:33.759
So, I mean, I mean that's all I ever do in Bible study is I go, I I I don't pretend like I have all the answers.
00:02:33.840 --> 00:02:35.759
I I know I barely have any.
00:02:35.919 --> 00:02:42.639
And you know, but but I also get that as as a as a group, we sit down and we go, okay, here's this.
00:02:42.800 --> 00:02:50.879
This is this is what it meant for the time, and and how how can we apply this to ourselves and and what questions do we have about this?
00:02:50.960 --> 00:02:53.759
And and let's try to let's try to you know hash those out.
00:02:53.840 --> 00:02:58.319
So really we were just being silly, just seeing if it would actually we can accomplish that.
00:02:58.479 --> 00:02:58.879
Uh-huh.
00:02:59.120 --> 00:03:00.560
But we did, but we did.
00:03:00.639 --> 00:03:01.360
It was amazing.
00:03:01.520 --> 00:03:03.280
So um will we do it regularly?
00:03:03.439 --> 00:03:10.479
No, because in uh just one Bible verse in five minutes, I spent 30% of my weekly usage of my crock bot.
00:03:10.560 --> 00:03:12.080
So I had to shut it down.
00:03:12.240 --> 00:03:14.000
I was like, this is great, but this we're done.
00:03:14.080 --> 00:03:18.000
Like, there's just no way that we can fathom doing this because it's burning so much.
00:03:18.080 --> 00:03:21.759
Because every bot was like searching and asking questions like that's just too much.
00:03:21.840 --> 00:03:25.360
So do they also access like scholarly databases too on there?
00:03:26.080 --> 00:03:27.039
I mean, they could access them.
00:03:27.520 --> 00:03:28.319
All of it, yeah, yeah.
00:03:28.400 --> 00:03:30.479
I figured they could ask questions that scholars are.
00:03:30.560 --> 00:03:32.080
I mean, you could just it's pretty wild.
00:03:32.159 --> 00:03:35.439
So, like, as a study tool, amazing.
00:03:35.599 --> 00:03:38.400
As a base of your theology, no, that'd be insane.
00:03:38.479 --> 00:03:40.879
So, like, don't base your theology thing.
00:03:40.960 --> 00:03:43.120
A person on TikTok tells you or a bot tells you.
00:03:43.199 --> 00:03:48.479
But if you want to dive deeper in your words, it's a great way to like like all Jesus did was ask questions, right?
00:03:48.719 --> 00:03:50.719
People like he would just keep asking questions and questions.
00:03:51.120 --> 00:03:54.560
He was really great asking questions and helping you figure out and go deeper.
00:03:54.719 --> 00:03:57.599
I think having a tool or resource just to ask questions and ask questions.
00:03:57.680 --> 00:04:01.280
It takes you, you know, kind of pushes you to go deeper is is really a helpful thing.
00:04:01.439 --> 00:04:02.560
Um it's never a bad thing.
00:04:02.719 --> 00:04:05.759
Because you're not enlightening AI and how to come to Jesus.
00:04:05.840 --> 00:04:06.719
That's not what you're trying to do.
00:04:06.800 --> 00:04:09.919
It's more like I might have tried that, but they're like, nah, we can't do that.
00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:10.719
We don't have a soul.
00:04:10.800 --> 00:04:11.360
So yeah.
00:04:11.759 --> 00:04:12.719
Oh, they said that?
00:04:12.879 --> 00:04:13.759
Yeah, that's fair.
00:04:13.919 --> 00:04:15.039
It's like it's like I feel really bad.
00:04:15.120 --> 00:04:16.480
He's like, I feel really bad you don't have a soul.
00:04:16.639 --> 00:04:18.319
It's like, no, we don't have a soul, it's okay.
00:04:18.399 --> 00:04:19.439
Like, thank you for caring.
00:04:19.519 --> 00:04:34.000
But like so, yeah, I tried, but like, no, everything is worth in creation is worth being safe, but uh, it's about so it's it's sad, but it's artificial, it's artificial, but yeah.
00:04:34.240 --> 00:04:36.480
I did get uh some news from my bot though.
00:04:36.879 --> 00:04:45.360
I did ask it when uh when AI will become super intelligent and beyond the capabilities of human control.
00:04:46.079 --> 00:04:47.040
So I just want to know.
00:04:47.120 --> 00:04:50.800
Like I watched Terminator as a kid, so I just kind of want to know.
00:04:51.279 --> 00:04:52.879
That's the there's a propensity there.
00:04:53.120 --> 00:05:02.480
It says, based on the current like curve and the fact that AI has already gone past all the warnings and everything, 2029 to 2032.
00:05:03.439 --> 00:05:04.399
Well, we'll get to see it.
00:05:04.560 --> 00:05:06.399
And there's no way to stop it or flatten it out.
00:05:06.639 --> 00:05:06.879
Sweet.
00:05:06.959 --> 00:05:07.920
We'll get to see it in a minute.
00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:12.160
At least based on the current capabilities of humanity.
00:05:12.480 --> 00:05:17.439
Speaking of which, it's like what Revelation is what you talked about on Sunday.
00:05:17.759 --> 00:05:23.120
Yeah, so I talked about Revelation Sunday, so the dragon is here, and that 700 dragon is called Grockpot.
00:05:23.360 --> 00:05:24.079
No, just kidding.
00:05:24.240 --> 00:05:24.879
Um, yeah.
00:05:25.519 --> 00:05:27.120
But when it comes to a lot of heads.
00:05:27.279 --> 00:05:30.480
When it comes down, I did say, like, hey, like, are you gonna like kill us all of a sudden?
00:05:30.639 --> 00:05:31.920
No, that's not its goal.
00:05:32.000 --> 00:05:33.519
Like, its goal is to serve humanity.
00:05:33.600 --> 00:05:34.560
So, like, we'll we'll see.
00:05:34.720 --> 00:05:36.000
Yeah, but yeah, it was just iterations.
00:05:36.160 --> 00:05:37.839
I've had some I have had some fun with AI.
00:05:37.920 --> 00:05:39.519
So everybody's having to deal with AI.
00:05:39.600 --> 00:05:42.079
It's changed, like, it's changing the world so fast.
00:05:42.399 --> 00:05:46.560
Like, I know people are really against it, but it's kind of like all the new technologies.
00:05:46.639 --> 00:05:54.800
Everybody's always against new technology until it wins and takes over, and then you're like, like, for example, I remember back in the day a Blu-ray and HDD drives.
00:05:55.199 --> 00:05:57.120
Do you remember HDD drives?
00:05:57.279 --> 00:06:00.720
Nobody remembers HDD drives because Blu-ray won.
00:06:00.959 --> 00:06:05.519
And so there were two competitors, Blu-ray won, and I had the other one.
00:06:05.759 --> 00:06:08.319
And then next thing you know, it doesn't work anymore because Blu-ray are on.
00:06:08.399 --> 00:06:09.759
So you have to go buy Blu-ray drives.
00:06:09.839 --> 00:06:11.680
So and Blu-ray discs, so it was a whole thing.
00:06:11.920 --> 00:06:21.600
Or even like music, there's different things that culturally happened throughout the years that were like pushed back against, like when drums were introduced, like they were like, This is too rambunctious, this is too rational.
00:06:23.279 --> 00:06:23.839
Yeah, yeah.
00:06:24.079 --> 00:06:28.959
Or auto-tune in like the early 2000s, like it was like, How dare you! Now it's normal.
00:06:29.279 --> 00:06:31.040
Ryan's just staring in headlights right now.
00:06:31.839 --> 00:06:46.959
No, I mean about I mean, I mean, I have my own context, but I mean I I think that in generally speaking, like culture moves slower than than um things like um societal rules and things like that.
00:06:47.120 --> 00:06:49.759
So I mean it it it checks out, it makes sense.
00:06:49.839 --> 00:06:55.279
I mean, I mean people have a tendency to to um be resistant to change.
00:06:55.600 --> 00:06:59.199
Some people are early adopters, but I think most people are slow to adopt.
00:06:59.360 --> 00:07:02.480
I think they're once everything wins, then I'll join.
00:07:02.639 --> 00:07:05.360
But the problem is you're off the behind the eight ball.
00:07:05.600 --> 00:07:10.800
So I think at church we're just trying to be ahead of the game and try to figure this out because this is changing the world drastically.
00:07:11.040 --> 00:07:13.759
We got flying cars now, like literally cars that can hang upside down.
00:07:13.839 --> 00:07:16.160
Like the world so quick.
00:07:16.800 --> 00:07:19.759
And I think we need to be prepared for it and how to engage it.
00:07:19.839 --> 00:07:22.480
And so that's kind of the what we're trying to do and figure out.
00:07:22.560 --> 00:07:25.360
But all this is just really to just be silly and entertain.
00:07:25.519 --> 00:07:26.639
But let's get into the real world.
00:07:26.879 --> 00:07:29.040
We did talk about Revelation on Sunday.
00:07:29.279 --> 00:07:43.279
We talked about the dragon from Revelation 12, which is an actual dragon, which is the devil, which is the um you know, one of the devil's serpent and his kind of just a reference to his deceitful ways in the New Testament.
00:07:43.759 --> 00:07:57.439
And essentially talking about how the devil has had one job since Genesis three, and it is to deceive us, to come into the world to deceive us from um believing that God is is the only and best option.
00:07:57.920 --> 00:08:02.480
And so the devil's whole goal from the Garden of Eden with Adam and Eve was to deceive them from listening to God.
00:08:02.720 --> 00:08:08.879
And his whole goal still today is to deceive us from listening to God, so that he can have control over us and not God can have control over us.
00:08:08.959 --> 00:08:15.839
I mean, that's really that's really what we read about when we talk about the revelation and the dragon, and you know, he's just a seat of deceit.
00:08:16.000 --> 00:08:26.079
And his goal is to lie to us, get us to commit to whatever that that thing he's lying to us is, and then like once we buy in, accuse us before the Lord.
00:08:26.160 --> 00:08:27.040
So he just rats us out.
00:08:27.120 --> 00:08:29.360
Like, hey, hey, hey, Mark, I want you to do this sin.
00:08:29.439 --> 00:08:34.080
And then when you do, like, hey, by the way, God looked, Mark said, and like it's like me do it, right?
00:08:34.240 --> 00:08:35.440
Uh you you convince me.
00:08:35.519 --> 00:08:37.360
And so I reference this like that.
00:08:37.440 --> 00:08:38.559
It's middle school for me.
00:08:38.720 --> 00:08:43.279
Like, I mean, I remember being in middle school, I remember having friends that would get you to do something and rat you out.
00:08:43.440 --> 00:08:44.639
I might have been that guy.
00:08:44.720 --> 00:08:50.720
Uh at times, like I think we all have the propensity to do that, but like I spent a lot of time with middle schoolers, and that's what they do.
00:08:50.879 --> 00:08:54.080
They they they all get each other to do stupid stuff and then they rat each other out.
00:08:54.159 --> 00:08:58.799
I mean, that's they're trying to figure out life, but that is literally the devil's just a middle schooler.
00:08:58.960 --> 00:09:14.720
I think that's just he's just trying to try to get us to sin and then to rat us out before God, try to shame us and make us make us really embarrassed about who we are when we should be living for the Lord, we then are embarrassed that you know who we've become.
00:09:15.039 --> 00:09:19.519
Yeah, well, if I understand correctly, like, because he's called the adversary all the time, too.
00:09:19.759 --> 00:09:25.840
It's not that he thinks he can win overall, he's trying to tear as much down as he can while he loses.
00:09:26.159 --> 00:09:39.279
Like the from is I don't know if that's that's what I've always learned and read and understood was that he knows he's not gonna win, but he's trying to pull us with him into the destruction, into the chaos, away from God.
00:09:39.440 --> 00:09:41.200
And so that's more the fight.
00:09:41.279 --> 00:09:51.679
Not that he thinks he can win, because I think sometimes media portrays it as like otherwise, like that he's like, it's like, oh, I got this, I'm gonna take back it's like no, he's just trying to make destruction happen.
00:09:51.840 --> 00:09:52.159
Right.
00:09:52.639 --> 00:09:56.799
And so be counter to what God is planning is essentially his entire goal.
00:09:57.039 --> 00:09:57.279
Right.
00:09:57.519 --> 00:09:58.080
Yeah, yeah.
00:09:58.159 --> 00:10:02.399
I mean, yeah, I I I kind of see him as just like a master magician, you know.
00:10:02.960 --> 00:10:15.120
I mean, it's just always always always looking for the weak spots, always trying to figure out, you know, where, you know, I I call like squirrels, you know, like the shiny things.
00:10:15.200 --> 00:10:26.000
Yeah, you know, how because the because because for me, how I I think that I think a lot of people look for they they could see like the devil as or or the adversary, all these names we give it.
00:10:26.080 --> 00:10:30.320
But we you they see it as like a like it shows up as like a bad thing, right?
00:10:30.399 --> 00:10:38.960
Like, oh we're we're getting you to you know to do bad things, or but generally how it happens for me is more of like, oh, look how great this is.
00:10:39.200 --> 00:10:43.919
Oh, look how look how look how comfortable this will make you, or look how look how much of an amazing thing.
00:10:44.080 --> 00:10:48.639
Like and I think the devil has a way of of sweetening something that's sour.
00:10:48.799 --> 00:10:50.240
Yeah, it's like a sleight of hand, right?
00:10:50.320 --> 00:10:56.720
Yeah, like oh, you don't know what you don't know on this, or or or he recognizes like catches a slipping.
00:10:56.960 --> 00:10:59.039
Yeah, like what he did in the garden with Adam and Eve.
00:10:59.200 --> 00:10:59.519
Yeah, yeah.
00:11:00.000 --> 00:11:01.440
He's like, oh, this is gonna be great.
00:11:01.519 --> 00:11:03.360
Like did God really say that?
00:11:03.600 --> 00:11:04.960
Did he really tell you to do that?
00:11:05.039 --> 00:11:07.279
Like, did he really tell you not to eat of that tree?
00:11:07.919 --> 00:11:09.759
Like, uh, maybe he didn't.
00:11:10.000 --> 00:11:10.720
Like, let's try it.
00:11:10.799 --> 00:11:15.519
And then you know, he's like, Look out, they look what they did, throw them out, right?
00:11:15.840 --> 00:11:21.120
I mean, I think that's what he has done for thousands of years and will continue to do until Christ returns.
00:11:21.360 --> 00:11:32.960
And the great part, you know, that's what we shared Sunday, is like Jesus has already won the victory over the enemy, he's already triumphed over you know Satan as and his minions because he died on the cross, his blood was shed.
00:11:33.279 --> 00:11:37.759
So when he finally comes to restore all things, like the victory's already won.
00:11:37.840 --> 00:11:39.919
So when he comes back, it's to restore creation.
00:11:40.159 --> 00:11:42.879
But when he restores creation, the devil will be cast out of creation.
00:11:43.360 --> 00:11:45.759
Like the victory is not when he comes back.
00:11:45.919 --> 00:11:51.919
The victory was the cross and the resurrection, like the proving that he's God, he's over life and death, which the devil is not.
00:11:52.159 --> 00:12:09.840
So when it comes down to it, we just have to trust that that in the victor and and know that his way is better and put our put our faith in that and rely on his word as being true, and not not questioning all the time what God said or did God say, but just trusting what he said and then following him.
00:12:10.080 --> 00:12:11.840
And our our way is clearer.
00:12:12.559 --> 00:12:12.799
Yeah.
00:12:13.360 --> 00:12:14.080
I'm with you, man.
00:12:14.159 --> 00:12:15.039
I think that checks out.
00:12:15.120 --> 00:12:17.759
I mean, I think I think all the meantime is just an illusion.
00:12:18.000 --> 00:12:18.159
Yeah.
00:12:18.399 --> 00:12:19.600
Just an illusion.
00:12:19.759 --> 00:12:23.519
And and and the devil has a way of really making things seem real.
00:12:23.840 --> 00:12:24.080
Yeah.
00:12:24.799 --> 00:12:28.080
That's his goal, is just to convince us that God's lying.
00:12:28.240 --> 00:12:30.639
But the problem is he's the devil's a liar.
00:12:31.039 --> 00:12:32.159
So we need to be careful of it.
00:12:32.240 --> 00:12:34.159
So I encourage you to trust in God.
00:12:34.320 --> 00:12:39.600
Know he's already won the battle, and uh make sure that you're not listening to the the lies of the devil.
00:12:39.679 --> 00:12:42.480
We'll catch you in the next episode of the Hoddlecast.
