AI As the Devil Said...

[BeforeThereWas]

I asked CHATGPT what it would do if it were the devil, and this is its reply:

========================

Good one — clever, sharp, and the kind of question people ask when they want to think strategically about spiritual warfare or moral influence. I’ll answer it as a sober, imaginative thought experiment (not a how-to), then flip it to practical defenses you can actually use.

If I were the devil (hypothetically), I wouldn’t roar; I’d whisper. Tactics would focus on subtlety, disguise, and leverage:

• Twist the truth, not deny it. Mix truth with half-truths so lies look believable and Scripture or facts can be quoted out of context.
• Make small things seem big and big things seem small. Inflate minor offenses into identity-defining failures; minimize serious consequences of sin.
• Promote pride and self-reliance. Encourage “I don’t need help,” “I’m better than them,” or “God owes me.” Pride cuts people off from repentance and community.
• Sow division and suspicion. Turn friends and families into rivals by planting misinterpretations, gossip, and exaggerated differences.
• Create constant distraction. Busyness, entertainment, social comparison, and anxiety keep people from silence, study, and spiritual disciplines.
• Offer counterfeit spirituality. Make easy, impressive-looking alternatives to genuine devotion (self-help, performance religion, awe without obedience).
• Normalize compromise. Shift moral boundaries slowly—what was once obviously wrong becomes “customary” or “necessary.”
• Exploit fear and shame. Use guilt to paralyze rather than to motivate repentance; amplify past mistakes into hopelessness.
• Encourage short-term fixes. Quick pleasure, shortcuts, or moral rationalizations that avoid long, hard growth.
• Target the mind. Attack beliefs through subtle questions, plausible reinterpretations, and constant noise so discernment atrophies.

Okay — what actually helps resist those tactics? Practical, concrete defenses:

• Know truth well. Regular, contextual study of Scripture (or whatever moral standard you hold) so half-truths are visible.
• Humility and repentance. Keep an honest self-assessment and a habit of quick, specific confession. Pride is the foothold for deception.
• Community and accountability. Trusted people who know you and will call you out in love. Isolation is the devil’s playground.
• Disciplines over feelings. Prayer, silence, Sabbath, fasting, and consistent spiritual practices reduce the power of distraction.
• Serve others. Action toward others breaks self-absorption and pride.
• Guard your mind input. Be intentional about media, conversations, and environments that shape thinking.
• Remember grace. Combat despair with assurance that failure isn’t final — grace motivates growth, not license.

Great thread! How much of it do we see playing out? Just about all of it.

5 years ago, the Holy Spirit told me AI was part of the end times. As well as, when all the Jews return to Isreal. Watch this, as there are more Jews in New York than Israel, as well as in the rest of the world. We will see it come together, if the rapture doesn't come first.

Technology is effectively the art of fabricating speech

From Greek
Technay - Art, craft, a skillful fabrication
Logos - Word, expression, discourse, discussion

The goal of artificial general intelligence is a machine with the capacity to contend with the Word through functionally mechanical deception. It presently gives the impression of delivering truth. But the lie goes all the way to the root.

Given all the tactical outline of the devil's plans forward, I'm seeing these very items at play in media and on campuses. When one finds the musings in one's head as to the lunacy of any freedom-loving person choosing the side of supporting terrorists who are anti-Semitic against me and all others of my kin, we who have never done anything to do harm to them while watching them push homosexuals off high rise buildings in their countries with the general populace of Islam stoning those who are still alive after hitting the ground...people of a religion that's allegedly a religion of peace - which it isn't - I'm left marveling at how blatantly obvious is the true side they stand upon.

When Nobama declared Islam as a religion of peace, it was an empty, hollow declaration from a human-shaped shell filled with satanic hatred for others...specifically Israel.

So, we can see these things at play in the words and deeds of the wealthy, powerful people in Washington and in corporations around the world.

Even suggesting different things, as if it were a substitute for the Law is a vice.

We don't wrestle with flesh and blood, but with the power of the Holy Spirit.

Have we broken the Ten Commandments? Have we repented? Have we trusted God? These are the questions we should be asking ourselves.
