using ai gptchat or bard to get transcripts

Image
You have likely heard of gptchat, it has been in the news a lot in 2023. It is very new. There are several ai generators besides gptchat and another one is google bard.  Bard is free so it might be more convenient useful to use. In the past we had no idea where the data set came from yet it provides output material. We have since learned ai prior to Sept 2021 was (no surprise) using data with a liberal data set, in other words, you cannot really trust what it gives you.  Now it is connected in real time to things on the internet, but you have to be wise, use discernment and give very specific detailed prompts for it to return decent data, however even then you need to look at where it pulled that data from.  When getting religious or Christian answers you might find ai pulled material from catholic, mormon, other cults or other heretical churches (because theyve probably through pre ai era paid google to be being high in ranking responses when asking google direct search...

When witnessing to family using WOTM goes wrong...

When witnessing to family using WOTM goes wrong. Q: Recently my husband and I tried to witness to my dad the way Ray Comfort does - going through the 10 commandments when presenting the gospel.  It didn’t go as planned - he wasn’t willing to admit to being a sinner.  My mom, a long-time church goer, was defending him and was making it harder rather for us trying to help us reach him. Plus, During the conversation she admitted to having many doubts about the faith which  made us question whether she is a true believer.  A few days before this she had returned 2 books I lent her, Mere Christianity & More than a Carpenter, and said they were really good & interesting. I was shocked that she could read these books and still have so many doubts and questions about the Bible, God, etc.  I would love your prayers for my parents to come to faith and also, is there any book or resource you think I should consider giving or sharing to my mom, (or questions to ask ...

Door to Door testimony

Door to Door evangelism testimony: A man came home from work. His life had been falling apart for months. He had chosen to give up. He got home, took his gun out and loaded it. Took a seat in his recliner and put the gun to his head and pulled the trigger... CLICK. He threw out a few expletives and once again put the gun to his head and pulled the trigger... CLICK. He pointed the gun at the floor and pulled the trigger... BANG. Being startled he threw the gun across the room and began to weep, crying out to God... if You will not let me kill myself, give me a reason to live. KNOCK, KNOCK... He wiped his eyes and opened the door. Three people were standing there, unknowing of what had taken place a few moments earlier. They had actually been assigned to see a new convert and talk about joing the SS at the church. They got lost and when time was running out for to be back at the church, they saw a house with a car in the driveway and decided to knock on that door so they would have somet...

Why do people get annoyed at Christians

Q: I can't find where Jesus said to not annoy anyone when sharing the gospel. No matter where we share Christianity, at work, in town, door to door, or anywhere... people will be annoyed. A: We are told to Go into all the World and Preach the Gospel. That is what we are called to do. And when we go we are to give answers with gentleness, care and lovingly share the truth. This is what Scripture teaches.  There are more false converts in churches (and false religions claiming to be Christian with those addl false converts) than actually saved people. But among the true converts those who love God will share the gospel. They read the Bible regularly, and will serve in ministries too. Some will get equipped and join the church outreach team and make time to go into town or d2d to reach those in the church area.  The purpose of sharing the Gospel is not to gain numbers of bodies in the pews but to share the gospel, plant seeds, and be faithful servants of Christ. If they get saved...

When someone apologizes for Cussing

What do you do when someine apologizes to you for cussing around you when they know you are a Christian or Pastor? They have a sense of shane and guilt that can be helpful so take the opportunity to move to the Gospel.  "We all live in a world where the outpouring of the heart of the human sinful nature is inescapable. It is a sin stained world we all live in. We know we do wrong because God's Law is written on our heart and our conscience accuses us. We know right from wrong but those who do not know God and have not been redeemed from sin, through Jesus, naturally live in rebellion to Him and righteousness. Would you consider yourself to be a good person...." take them thru sin and thru the Gospel , and give a call to action to obey the Gospel command. Repent and trust in Jesus. If they pray to God then offer them a first steps for the new believer tract or send them here Believers Resources. Here are also resources for counseling a new believer on Cussing 

Reaching Bahai people

There is only one revelation from God and it came through Israel. It was completed by Christ's Apostles and closed with John. Any of these other so called words of a god are all false and from Satan, to deceive the masses and drag as many humans to Hell as he can. Bahai is a false religion with Islamic origins. According to GotQuestions:  "the Baha'i faith has many theological gaps and doctrinal inconsistencies. Compared to Christianity, its core teachings are only superficial in their commonality. The differences are deep and fundamental. The Baha'i faith is ornate, and a full critique would be encyclopedic."  They have listed ways to reach them,  and like carm, do a good job exposing false religions and providing useful information for you to witness to the people who embraced  doctrines of demons.   Helpful info on reaching Bahai  Light info from Carm  Why Christianity  Sharing the Gospel 

Books & Reccs for unsaved dying if cancer?

Q: I need book recommendations (for a sister in Christ counseling someone) for an unbelieving friend who has terminal cancer. Anyone know of a book like that? (And perhaps, hopefully presents the Gospel in it as well?) A: It’s a tough needle to thread - obviously we know there’s much the unbeliever ought to be afraid of.  After presenting the gospel to your friend, mark chapters or books in the Bible to read. You can also mark and tag pages for the unsaved person to read in books noted below.   I hope these resources can help. James White was a hospital chaplain and he has a book called “ Grieving: your path back to peace ” .(1)    I’m not sure it’ll be for the person in your friend’s situation, but maybe. There’s also a book by R.C. Sproul called Enjoying God that might be helpful. I haven’t read these, but I know the people who are trustworthy to give a full gospel presentation. I’ll pray for your friend. The fear of death book , by Ray Comfort,(2) might be a...
