AI's Thoughts on John 8:36 - Do they ring true?

[MatthewG]

The phrase "So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed" comes from John 8:36 in the Bible.
Meaning:

• "The Son" refers to Jesus Christ.
• "Sets you free" means liberation from bondage and oppression. Jesus is specifically talking about liberation from the bondage of sin.
• "Free indeed" emphasizes that this freedom is genuine, complete, and permanent. It's not just a temporary or superficial freedom, but a profound transformation of heart and life.

Context:

• Jesus is speaking to Jewish people who believed they were already free because they were descendants of Abraham.
• Jesus clarifies that true freedom is not based on lineage or adherence to religious laws, but on being set free from sin.
• Sin, according to Jesus, makes us slaves to it.
• Only Jesus, as the Son of God, has the authority to break this bondage.

Therefore, the verse means that if you believe in Jesus Christ, you are truly set free from the power and penalty of sin, gaining the opportunity for everlasting life. This freedom is more than just escaping something negative; it's a radical transformation that allows you to live a life aligned with God's will and purpose.

So then why do many so support a sin accepting jesus and justify their sin .
And have made the road to GOD very broad indeed as even UNBELIEF is now accepted .
Jesus came to set free
not to lie and pander to mens sins .

While I don't want to group all people together, can you just give an example of what you are saying.

And have made the road to GOD very broad indeed as even UNBELIEF is now accepted .

I would say that people can definitely fall pray into worshiping other things, and just forget God all together.

What do you mean about unbelief is no accepted? I mean if a person doesn't believe and chooses not to have faith, I mean. They are still human right?

Jesus came to set free
not to lie and pander to mens sins .

Can you explain to me about what you mean concerning "pandering to mens sins?"

here is an example . Of course its not the only sin but here is an example for you .
Lets say i came to a church . And the preacher was telling me
HEY GOD does not accept your sin of homosexaulity .
SO then i leave and find another church WHO then says to me, HEY GOD is love and homosexuality is not sin
GOD accepts it and you who pratice it . SO I STAY .
TELL ME , DID I COME TO JESUS or did i come to another jesus WHO ACCEPTED MY SIN .
exactly mathew . MANY have no love for CHRIST ,they only love their sin and find a church
whose jesus accepts their sin . that aint new either its been going on for years . THINK prosperity gospel or etc .
As far as what do i mean by UNBELEIF being accepted . That is a good question mathew .
Allow me to explain .
MANY are in love with a god that accepts all religoins as valid , AND we darn sure know
those others religoins DO NOT BELEIVE JESUS IS THE CHRIST , IS THE SON of GOD .
SO they love a jesus who preaches UNBELIEF IN HIM IS Okay . ONLY again THAT AINT JESUS that is anti christ messages .
And as far as pandering to mens sins .
HOW many churches you know that not only wont correct their own who are in sin
They even tell them THEY ARE JUST FINE . even going as far to say ITS NOT SIN .
But try bringing a bible into said church . THEN you will hear , AWAY with you hater , judger
and they treat you and the WORDS of GOD you used to expose sin , AS HATE SPEECH .

Well spoken rabAI.

Though the Jews likely were taking Jesus literally and were confused about being called slaves.

Interesting!

I have wondered whether AI might even cause some people to question their long-held beliefs when given fact from a non-human source. Even so, like computers in general--they only know what they are told, or the data they are fed.

Interestingly, our son gave medical reports data to AI...and it came back with somewhat different conclusions than the doctors.

That doctrine of "we will sin until after we die and receive our new bodies" is TOO LATE! Our bodies do not have sin in them. Sin is from our nature which is the only part that MUST be born again NOW - our spirit and soul which together is our nature. It is our nature that Jesus cleanses our past sins. But how many know this? Most believe in a weak little baby Jesus who isn't able to cleanse the source of our sin. The sin nature came through Satan's hold on Adam because of his sin, but my Jesus defeated the works of Satan, 1 John 3:8-9 "8 He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil. 9 Whoever has been born of God does not commit sin, for His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God."
