00:00:02.240 --> 00:00:06.000
Looking at our world from a theological perspective. This is

2
00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:09.839
the Theology Central podcast making Theology Central.

3
00:00:11.880 --> 00:00:15.080
Well, if you make one bad decision, you should just

4
00:00:15.119 --> 00:00:18.399
go ahead and make another. Right, That's the lesson today.

5
00:00:18.440 --> 00:00:22.800
When you make one bad decision, don't correct, course, don't

6
00:00:22.839 --> 00:00:27.000
stop making bad decisions. Just double down, make another bad decision.

7
00:00:27.000 --> 00:00:28.719
And then when you make that bad decision, then just

8
00:00:28.760 --> 00:00:31.399
make another. That's the lesson you should learn from me.

9
00:00:31.600 --> 00:00:34.719
When you make a bad decision, just keep making them.

10
00:00:35.240 --> 00:00:39.479
Don't correct, don't change, just keep doing that. Okay, well,

11
00:00:39.520 --> 00:00:42.039
that's not really the lesson I want to teach today,

12
00:00:42.560 --> 00:00:45.399
but in a practical way, that is the lesson I'm teaching.

13
00:00:45.479 --> 00:00:49.960
I will explain everything after I say welcome everyone. It

14
00:00:50.159 --> 00:00:54.119
is Sunday, January the twenty sixth, twenty twenty five. It

15
00:00:54.200 --> 00:00:57.840
is currently five thirty four pm Central time, and I

16
00:00:57.840 --> 00:01:00.880
am coming to you live from the Theology Central studio

17
00:01:01.439 --> 00:01:05.359
located right here in Abilene, Texas. Now, am I what

18
00:01:05.400 --> 00:01:09.040
do I mean about bad decisions? Well, I earlier today

19
00:01:09.120 --> 00:01:12.480
I did a broadcast. I explained to everyone that I

20
00:01:12.599 --> 00:01:16.079
wasn't at church. We were not doing an in person service.

21
00:01:16.120 --> 00:01:18.200
We were doing a live stream the reason we were

22
00:01:18.280 --> 00:01:21.840
doing a live stream, and part was because I'm having

23
00:01:22.719 --> 00:01:27.040
some major neurological issues, one of the worst headaches I've

24
00:01:27.040 --> 00:01:30.319
ever experienced in my life, having all the issues that

25
00:01:30.439 --> 00:01:32.959
you know come from my seizure disorder. I feel like

26
00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:35.120
I'm literally on the verge of I don't know how

27
00:01:35.159 --> 00:01:37.879
many seizures, all kinds of issues. I'm just having all

28
00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:40.879
kinds of issues over the last few days. And it's

29
00:01:40.920 --> 00:01:43.159
really really I mean, it's really bad today. So what

30
00:01:43.239 --> 00:01:46.879
I should be doing? So I told everyone it was

31
00:01:46.920 --> 00:01:48.640
a bad decision that I was even trying to do

32
00:01:48.680 --> 00:01:50.519
a live stream, but I did it. Yeah, I mean,

33
00:01:50.799 --> 00:01:52.840
I mean, I haven't heard anything about it, so that's

34
00:01:52.840 --> 00:01:55.640
a pretty good sign that it wasn't very good, all right.

35
00:01:55.680 --> 00:01:58.359
I understand that I told everyone to have a little

36
00:01:58.359 --> 00:02:01.200
bit of mercy, so but I did it anyway. So

37
00:02:01.359 --> 00:02:03.040
then what I was going to do is as soon

38
00:02:03.079 --> 00:02:05.040
as I got done with that, I was going to

39
00:02:05.159 --> 00:02:07.599
eat something and then I was going to lay down.

40
00:02:07.879 --> 00:02:10.800
And then I thought, in my mind, I'll slip into

41
00:02:11.000 --> 00:02:13.240
a coma, right, I'll just I'll just slip into a

42
00:02:13.319 --> 00:02:16.120
coma and be gone for the rest of the day

43
00:02:16.439 --> 00:02:20.120
and then wake up tomorrow hopefully reset my like my

44
00:02:20.199 --> 00:02:22.719
brain will reset, I'll be refreshed, I'll be I'll be

45
00:02:22.759 --> 00:02:26.159
ready to function by what has happened? Well, it's what now,

46
00:02:27.080 --> 00:02:31.800
five thirty six pm Central time. Since that time around

47
00:02:31.840 --> 00:02:34.560
eleven thirty twelve, whatever time it was, I think by

48
00:02:34.599 --> 00:02:36.120
the time I said I was going to try to

49
00:02:36.159 --> 00:02:38.159
just kind of lay there, I was gonna listen to

50
00:02:38.199 --> 00:02:40.080
the football game. All I had all these plans and

51
00:02:40.120 --> 00:02:42.080
I was just gonna that was gonna be it. Well,

52
00:02:42.080 --> 00:02:44.319
and now here is five thirty six and I haven't

53
00:02:45.080 --> 00:02:48.360
slipped into a coma, haven't slept for one second. I

54
00:02:49.039 --> 00:02:51.360
keep saying, Okay, I'm just gonna I'm just gonna listen

55
00:02:51.400 --> 00:02:53.199
to the football game. Next thing, I'm looking at this,

56
00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:54.919
or I'm looking at this, or I'm oh, let's look

57
00:02:54.960 --> 00:02:57.439
this up. Oh well what about this? Oh what about this,

58
00:02:57.639 --> 00:03:00.479
Let's look this up, let's consider this, let's con this.

59
00:03:00.599 --> 00:03:06.680
And the next thing I know, I find myself well

60
00:03:07.080 --> 00:03:10.919
working with an AI program and I'm like, oh, this

61
00:03:11.159 --> 00:03:14.120
is interesting. And then I kept working with it. I'm like, oh,

62
00:03:14.240 --> 00:03:16.400
this is really interesting. And then I was like, wait,

63
00:03:16.919 --> 00:03:21.479
this fits in with everything I've been talking about. Artificial intelligence. Wait, oh,

64
00:03:21.639 --> 00:03:23.479
let me keep working. Okay, No, wait, oh, I've got

65
00:03:23.479 --> 00:03:25.520
to I gotta pay some money. I'm gonna pay some

66
00:03:25.560 --> 00:03:28.680
money for this. Okay, let me subscribe, Okay, subscribe. Okay,

67
00:03:28.680 --> 00:03:30.400
Now how do I make this work? And then I'm

68
00:03:30.439 --> 00:03:32.879
sitting there working on it, working on it, working on it.

69
00:03:33.599 --> 00:03:35.639
Of course, my head is just getting worse and worse

70
00:03:35.719 --> 00:03:38.039
because I'm trying to cut and paste and trying to

71
00:03:38.039 --> 00:03:39.719
get it to work, and then it won't work, and

72
00:03:39.719 --> 00:03:42.039
then I have to redo it again and then and then,

73
00:03:42.159 --> 00:03:44.479
but I'm trying to get it all to work. I

74
00:03:44.560 --> 00:03:47.439
finally get it all set, I get everything downloaded, and

75
00:03:47.479 --> 00:03:49.879
then I'm like, okay, well that that was interesting. Now

76
00:03:49.960 --> 00:03:52.120
I should lay down. And then I'm like, no, why no, no, no, no,

77
00:03:52.159 --> 00:03:55.759
the microphone. The microphone is right there, and it's it's

78
00:03:55.800 --> 00:03:58.960
right upstairs. Let me go to the microphone and let's

79
00:03:59.199 --> 00:04:01.120
let's talk about it. So here we are we going

80
00:04:01.159 --> 00:04:04.159
to talk about this briefly. I'm going to explain everything,

81
00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:08.000
and I hope this is going to make sense, all right.

82
00:04:08.560 --> 00:04:11.400
I have been talking that artificial intelligence is going to

83
00:04:11.439 --> 00:04:17.839
completely change everything, and everyone acknowledges going to change everything,

84
00:04:17.839 --> 00:04:23.360
within culture. Everyone agrees could possibly change things in entertainment, music,

85
00:04:23.600 --> 00:04:26.360
Everyone's looking at all the different areas where it could

86
00:04:26.399 --> 00:04:31.800
have a transformative, massive change, a disruptive force, and all

87
00:04:31.959 --> 00:04:36.240
of society. But I've been putting forth the concept that

88
00:04:36.399 --> 00:04:39.560
not only is it disruptive to Christianity, not only is

89
00:04:39.560 --> 00:04:44.319
it going to change everything and all practical I know

90
00:04:44.360 --> 00:04:48.319
whenever I say this people get mad. But from any

91
00:04:48.519 --> 00:04:55.680
practical perspective, AI makes the Church absolutely irrelevant. It's a

92
00:04:55.720 --> 00:04:57.879
waste of I mean the church. The church can't do

93
00:04:57.920 --> 00:05:00.439
anything if we understand church not from a set incremental

94
00:05:00.519 --> 00:05:02.519
point of view. But the church is there to teach

95
00:05:02.560 --> 00:05:04.560
the word of God, preach the word of God, to

96
00:05:04.680 --> 00:05:08.079
equip saints. Right, it's to preach and teach it. Well,

97
00:05:08.120 --> 00:05:11.079
if the church is to preach and teach, AI can

98
00:05:11.120 --> 00:05:14.439
preach and teach better than any person can in any way,

99
00:05:14.439 --> 00:05:16.639
shape orform. And how many different ways do I have

100
00:05:16.720 --> 00:05:19.720
to put that to the test. Right, we have taken AI.

101
00:05:19.800 --> 00:05:22.959
We've listened to a sermon. Let AI take the same text,

102
00:05:22.959 --> 00:05:26.240
take it apart. AI does better every single time AI.

103
00:05:26.279 --> 00:05:29.839
When examining sermons, it points out it's logical fallacies, it's

104
00:05:29.879 --> 00:05:34.079
factual errors, it's hermineutical hermeneutical errors, if it's if it's

105
00:05:34.120 --> 00:05:36.920
is of Jesus or exo Jesus, and every single case

106
00:05:37.240 --> 00:05:42.720
AI has destroyed the sermon. Right, But what if AI

107
00:05:43.120 --> 00:05:45.839
not only can it evaluate the sermon? Not only can

108
00:05:45.920 --> 00:05:48.560
it examine the sermon, not only can it analyze it,

109
00:05:48.759 --> 00:05:52.120
not only can it produce, like, hey, I need an

110
00:05:52.160 --> 00:05:55.240
exegetical study on this passage. Not only can it produce

111
00:05:55.279 --> 00:05:58.199
a better study, what if it can actually teach it

112
00:05:58.360 --> 00:06:02.319
and preach it itself. What if it can do that? Now

113
00:06:02.319 --> 00:06:05.399
we already talked about this technology being available, but I've

114
00:06:05.439 --> 00:06:07.279
had a chance to mess with it while I stumbled

115
00:06:07.319 --> 00:06:11.879
upon a program that allowed me, and I've only worked

116
00:06:11.879 --> 00:06:13.759
with it. I've been working on it probably for the

117
00:06:13.879 --> 00:06:15.720
last I don't know, forty five minutes, an hour. I

118
00:06:15.720 --> 00:06:17.879
don't even know how long it's been. So this is

119
00:06:17.959 --> 00:06:21.319
all like happening in real time. That's one of the

120
00:06:21.360 --> 00:06:23.319
reasons I felt like I needed to broadcast, no matter

121
00:06:23.360 --> 00:06:25.360
how I felt, I needed to get here in front

122
00:06:25.360 --> 00:06:28.720
of the microphone, no matter, no matter, no matter if

123
00:06:28.720 --> 00:06:30.920
I dropped dead in the middle of this, because it's

124
00:06:30.959 --> 00:06:33.040
all happening in real time, and I like to do that,

125
00:06:33.399 --> 00:06:36.000
so this is happening in real time. About forty five

126
00:06:36.040 --> 00:06:39.480
minutes ago or about an hour ago, I was thinking

127
00:06:39.560 --> 00:06:42.600
about the article that we looked at and the sort

128
00:06:42.600 --> 00:06:46.040
of the Lord newspaper. It was the January third, twenty

129
00:06:46.120 --> 00:06:48.439
twenty five edition of the sort of the Lord newspaper,

130
00:06:48.600 --> 00:06:51.199
and there was an article in there entitled are a

131
00:06:51.240 --> 00:06:54.720
sermon actually a printed sermon? What do you do when

132
00:06:54.800 --> 00:06:59.639
trouble troubles you? What do you do when trouble troubles you? Now,

133
00:06:59.680 --> 00:07:03.000
we were viewed that and we saw lots of problems

134
00:07:03.000 --> 00:07:05.199
with it. We had lots of issues with it. And

135
00:07:05.240 --> 00:07:08.959
one of the things that did OH numerous times is

136
00:07:09.240 --> 00:07:12.439
when it's talking about trouble that we may have and

137
00:07:12.480 --> 00:07:14.279
what are we to do when we're in trouble, and

138
00:07:14.519 --> 00:07:17.040
how should we respond to trouble and all of this.

139
00:07:17.560 --> 00:07:21.279
It pointed us to specific verses in the Book of Psalms,

140
00:07:22.480 --> 00:07:24.759
and whenever we were reviewing it, I kept saying, I

141
00:07:24.759 --> 00:07:28.319
have some problems and how it's handling verses in Psalms right,

142
00:07:29.199 --> 00:07:32.040
because in many cases it's taking these promises and the

143
00:07:32.040 --> 00:07:34.879
Psalms and applying them to us. And I have some

144
00:07:35.040 --> 00:07:38.680
grave concern about this right because in many cases the

145
00:07:38.680 --> 00:07:41.480
Psalms are written to specific people in a specific context,

146
00:07:41.720 --> 00:07:44.319
and many of those promises given to them in regards

147
00:07:44.319 --> 00:07:48.759
to troubled, difficulty, trial, pain and suffering is related more

148
00:07:48.800 --> 00:07:52.319
to the promise and the covenants made by God to Israel.

149
00:07:52.399 --> 00:07:54.680
So can we reach into those Psalms and say, oh,

150
00:07:54.720 --> 00:07:56.560
this is a promise for us and what we can

151
00:07:56.639 --> 00:07:59.079
do and trouble and so I had some major issues

152
00:07:59.079 --> 00:08:01.759
with it. So then I'm like, okay, so we've got

153
00:08:01.800 --> 00:08:05.879
this program where AI can actually, you know, not only

154
00:08:07.120 --> 00:08:09.680
create better content as far as giving you the text

155
00:08:09.720 --> 00:08:12.639
I giving you a full study of these verses and Psalms,

156
00:08:12.800 --> 00:08:16.600
it can also teach it to us. I'm like, let

157
00:08:16.600 --> 00:08:19.399
me put all of this together. So I have used

158
00:08:19.480 --> 00:08:26.639
AI to examine two verses used in this article in

159
00:08:26.639 --> 00:08:30.879
the sort of the Lord Newspaper in the Book of Psalms.

160
00:08:31.319 --> 00:08:34.000
I had to examine it because I just basically said,

161
00:08:34.039 --> 00:08:37.240
here are two verses, how should these be approached? How

162
00:08:37.240 --> 00:08:40.399
should they not be approached? Just basically break down these

163
00:08:40.399 --> 00:08:44.399
two verses and psalms and then not only generate the text,

164
00:08:44.720 --> 00:08:48.200
give me teach it. Teach it to me, right, I

165
00:08:48.200 --> 00:08:50.600
couldn't say necessarily preach it. I don't think there's an

166
00:08:50.600 --> 00:08:53.600
option for a preaching voice per se me. I mean,

167
00:08:53.639 --> 00:08:56.759
I didn't have time to mess with all the speech settings,

168
00:08:57.000 --> 00:09:00.720
but it gave me an audio file. All of this

169
00:09:00.879 --> 00:09:03.240
was generated by AI. So what you are about to here,

170
00:09:03.279 --> 00:09:05.279
I'm going to play it for you. It's only ten

171
00:09:05.320 --> 00:09:08.399
minutes long. It's only ten minutes and forty eight seconds long.

172
00:09:09.080 --> 00:09:12.519
It's everything was generated and everything was created by AI.

173
00:09:12.879 --> 00:09:18.440
Everything was created by AI. Everything, all right, It was

174
00:09:18.559 --> 00:09:22.559
all made by AI. I just gave its basic parameters

175
00:09:22.840 --> 00:09:27.559
and said, there we go. I told it basically as

176
00:09:27.559 --> 00:09:31.840
a podcast. It's going to be a podcast episode, all right,

177
00:09:31.879 --> 00:09:35.559
So it basically created a podcast episode dealing with two

178
00:09:35.679 --> 00:09:39.559
verses in psalms. That well, let me just tell you.

179
00:09:39.759 --> 00:09:43.000
AI breaks down these two verses and psalms way better

180
00:09:43.120 --> 00:09:45.519
than this actual sermon put together by a human being.

181
00:09:45.679 --> 00:09:49.960
And I could probably take AI and how it handled

182
00:09:49.960 --> 00:09:52.360
these two verses and psalms. We could take the sermon's

183
00:09:52.399 --> 00:09:55.279
two point oh app probably look for sermon after sermon

184
00:09:55.320 --> 00:09:59.600
after sermon after sermon after sermon preached by humans, and

185
00:09:59.759 --> 00:10:02.279
I I will bet that we could have AI generate

186
00:10:02.440 --> 00:10:06.399
not only an exogenical study of the passage, we could

187
00:10:06.440 --> 00:10:11.720
now have AI also generate a spoken teaching of the passage,

188
00:10:11.799 --> 00:10:14.039
and it would be better than people. Now, just think

189
00:10:14.159 --> 00:10:17.159
if an individual you could be sitting at home and go, hmm,

190
00:10:17.840 --> 00:10:21.519
all right, so John chapter one. Okay, let me have

191
00:10:21.600 --> 00:10:25.480
AI breakdown John chapter one in an in depth exegetical study,

192
00:10:25.679 --> 00:10:29.480
breaking it down, interpreting it correctly, giving it its basic parameters.

193
00:10:29.519 --> 00:10:31.919
AI would create it. Then you just place it into

194
00:10:31.960 --> 00:10:36.639
an AI software that would basically generate it to voice,

195
00:10:36.679 --> 00:10:39.159
and then you can say, okay, play and then you

196
00:10:39.279 --> 00:10:42.039
basically get your sermon you don't even and it will

197
00:10:42.039 --> 00:10:44.159
be better than any church you go to in the

198
00:10:44.200 --> 00:10:47.480
local area, or even any sermon you listen to online.

199
00:10:47.720 --> 00:10:50.279
Just try to think, wrap your mind around the ramifications

200
00:10:50.320 --> 00:10:54.120
of that, or it will be better than any podcast

201
00:10:54.279 --> 00:11:00.120
you listen to. Now, I may not be feeling well,

202
00:11:00.200 --> 00:11:03.360
and I may be on the verge of death, but

203
00:11:03.679 --> 00:11:05.919
it's hard for me, not right at this moment, to

204
00:11:05.960 --> 00:11:09.759
go what am I doing? Not because I'm making a

205
00:11:09.759 --> 00:11:12.759
bad decision in broadcasting when I probably shouldn't, but it

206
00:11:12.799 --> 00:11:17.320
makes me question deeper. There's no point in my existing

207
00:11:17.919 --> 00:11:23.919
there really is no point. There really isn't you Now

208
00:11:23.919 --> 00:11:26.799
were going to be able to create your own if

209
00:11:26.840 --> 00:11:31.200
you want your own podcast about any topic you want. Okay,

210
00:11:31.639 --> 00:11:34.600
you're like, I want a theology podcast on this you

211
00:11:35.279 --> 00:11:38.639
can AI can generate that, not only the text, it

212
00:11:38.639 --> 00:11:41.000
can generate the voice. So do you want to hear

213
00:11:41.080 --> 00:11:47.480
a completely AI generated episode of the Theology Central podcast.

214
00:11:47.960 --> 00:11:51.799
I'm just going to assume that everyone here. I love

215
00:11:51.879 --> 00:11:55.440
the contrast here, right, because here's what you're gonna think. Well,

216
00:11:55.480 --> 00:12:01.600
considering how much, considering that you're episode this morning was

217
00:12:01.639 --> 00:12:05.120
complete trash, considering that you spent over an hour and

218
00:12:05.159 --> 00:12:08.399
you gave us garbage this morning, Yeah, I would prefer

219
00:12:08.440 --> 00:12:11.080
to hear AI and listen. I'm with you. So we're

220
00:12:11.120 --> 00:12:13.879
gonna sit back and for the next ten minutes and

221
00:12:14.039 --> 00:12:17.720
forty eight seconds, AI's gonna do this. Now. I didn't.

222
00:12:17.919 --> 00:12:21.720
I didn't, you know, check this to see if there's

223
00:12:21.759 --> 00:12:24.799
any mistakes. I was checking it at the beginning, and

224
00:12:24.799 --> 00:12:27.039
it was doing this weird like a I owe you.

225
00:12:29.039 --> 00:12:32.759
It was like just make stating some like random numbers

226
00:12:32.799 --> 00:12:35.879
and letters. It was weird. It would be like a point,

227
00:12:35.919 --> 00:12:40.279
it would be like psalm ninety one fourteen says this, Ay,

228
00:12:40.440 --> 00:12:44.039
I behold this, and it's like, wall, what is the

229
00:12:44.120 --> 00:12:46.360
AOI owe you? It was like some weird like it

230
00:12:46.399 --> 00:12:48.960
almost send it like it was a foreign language. I'm like,

231
00:12:49.080 --> 00:12:52.559
is a AI speaking in tongues? What is going on here?

232
00:12:52.559 --> 00:12:55.000
What is happening? I have no idea why it was

233
00:12:55.039 --> 00:12:56.639
doing that. I have no idea. So I had to

234
00:12:56.919 --> 00:13:00.759
had to take the text, cut it and paste it

235
00:13:00.840 --> 00:13:05.320
in Apple Notes. Then, because it was putting these weird

236
00:13:05.360 --> 00:13:07.759
little like symbols at the beginning of each where you

237
00:13:07.799 --> 00:13:11.159
would have each paragraph break, it was putting these weird symbols,

238
00:13:11.240 --> 00:13:12.679
and it was like, oh, oh you. And I was like,

239
00:13:12.720 --> 00:13:14.679
what is this? When I posted it or and I

240
00:13:14.759 --> 00:13:17.360
pasted it in Apple Notes, it erased all of those

241
00:13:17.399 --> 00:13:20.200
weird symbols, just gave it text. Then I pasted it

242
00:13:20.240 --> 00:13:22.960
back into the AI program and all of that was gone.

243
00:13:23.039 --> 00:13:25.320
So I'm assuming it's not there in the speech. So

244
00:13:25.360 --> 00:13:27.399
I have not reviewed everything, but that's okay. If we

245
00:13:27.440 --> 00:13:29.679
find any mistakes, we'll see. I mean, you know, we're

246
00:13:29.720 --> 00:13:31.759
going to find out what it did and didn't do.

247
00:13:31.879 --> 00:13:36.159
But AI created this entire episode. It did take a

248
00:13:36.159 --> 00:13:38.519
while for my cutting and pasting and having to remove it.

249
00:13:38.679 --> 00:13:42.879
But as far as it took about maybe five seconds

250
00:13:42.879 --> 00:13:46.480
for AI to generate all of the text and then

251
00:13:46.519 --> 00:13:50.919
it converted it to voice. That took about a minute,

252
00:13:51.080 --> 00:13:55.000
maybe two minutes. So if you take everything, all the

253
00:13:55.080 --> 00:13:59.480
text that you're going to hear, all the words, it generated,

254
00:13:59.519 --> 00:14:02.639
all the words words, converted it to voice or converted

255
00:14:02.679 --> 00:14:07.519
it to audio. It did everything, and about probably i'll

256
00:14:07.559 --> 00:14:11.480
just say two minutes, maybe less than maybe about maybe

257
00:14:11.559 --> 00:14:14.000
a minute and thirty five seconds, but it was it

258
00:14:14.039 --> 00:14:16.600
was less than two minutes, maybe right at two minutes.

259
00:14:16.639 --> 00:14:21.480
I still think it was less. It did everything. Now,

260
00:14:21.639 --> 00:14:24.440
just try to wrap your mind around that, right, I mean,

261
00:14:24.440 --> 00:14:26.679
if there's a new story, I mean literally, this is

262
00:14:26.679 --> 00:14:28.519
what I could do. There's a new story. I could

263
00:14:28.519 --> 00:14:31.799
be like, huh okay AI break this new story down

264
00:14:31.879 --> 00:14:36.519
from a thiological perspective, Tuntu all right, copy, boom, paste

265
00:14:36.519 --> 00:14:40.360
it here alright, boom all right, generate audio, download audio,

266
00:14:40.480 --> 00:14:43.960
upload it, boom, go live, and immediately I can go

267
00:14:44.039 --> 00:14:48.679
live with a completely generated AI episode of the Theology

268
00:14:48.759 --> 00:14:52.679
Central podcast. Basically, I become nothing more than just the

269
00:14:52.679 --> 00:14:56.720
person pushing the button. There's no reason for me to

270
00:14:56.799 --> 00:15:10.000
even speak all right, So if today's the last day, right,

271
00:15:10.000 --> 00:15:13.240
if I was to die right now, at least I know, hey,

272
00:15:13.440 --> 00:15:15.720
nobody's gonna I mean, nobody was gonna miss me anyway,

273
00:15:15.879 --> 00:15:18.240
but now it'll be like it'll be even less missing.

274
00:15:18.399 --> 00:15:22.159
It'd be like who cares Theology Central podcast? I can

275
00:15:22.200 --> 00:15:25.519
make my own and it's better than that, idiot. It's

276
00:15:25.600 --> 00:15:30.200
really kind of depressing when you realize basically you are

277
00:15:30.399 --> 00:15:34.080
you are irrelevant. I don't think pastors are ever going

278
00:15:34.120 --> 00:15:36.840
to acknowledge that, but I'm sorry. All of your preaching

279
00:15:36.879 --> 00:15:40.639
and teaching you're irrelevant. I can get better in seconds.

280
00:15:42.720 --> 00:15:45.840
You're right. You can try to convince people all day.

281
00:15:45.879 --> 00:15:49.000
You're chosen by God, you're anointed by God. You can

282
00:15:49.080 --> 00:15:52.120
talk the big spiritual game. When it comes down to it.

283
00:15:52.320 --> 00:15:56.039
I'm sorry, I'm sorry. We are irrelevant. That church is

284
00:15:56.480 --> 00:16:00.759
is irrelevant other than it's social functions that it can provide.

285
00:16:00.919 --> 00:16:02.200
I don't know when we're going to wake up, but

286
00:16:02.240 --> 00:16:03.519
this is going to prove it. So are you ready?

287
00:16:03.559 --> 00:16:05.480
I know, I know I waited sixteen minutes. I know

288
00:16:05.519 --> 00:16:07.559
I've kept you, I kept you listening. Here we go,

289
00:16:07.840 --> 00:16:12.240
artificial intelligence. It's about to teach you about two passages

290
00:16:12.279 --> 00:16:14.399
and the Book of Psalms. That's sort of the Lord

291
00:16:14.480 --> 00:16:18.559
newspaper utterly mishandled right, And I bet you we could

292
00:16:18.559 --> 00:16:20.840
find a million sermons that probably would handle it in

293
00:16:20.879 --> 00:16:22.879
a questionable way. Am I going to agree with everything

294
00:16:22.919 --> 00:16:25.360
AI has to say about it? Probably? I don't even

295
00:16:25.360 --> 00:16:27.240
know everything it said. I didn't sit there and examine

296
00:16:27.240 --> 00:16:30.759
it to get into a discussion, right. But if I

297
00:16:30.799 --> 00:16:33.240
broke down the entire discussion once again, I could have

298
00:16:33.279 --> 00:16:36.519
just taken the text, uploaded it or or pasted it

299
00:16:36.720 --> 00:16:42.440
into the text to voice converter and then just had

300
00:16:42.480 --> 00:16:45.000
AI do it. But here we go. Here's Ai. The

301
00:16:45.080 --> 00:16:46.879
volume is probably not as low as it should be.

302
00:16:46.919 --> 00:16:52.120
I probably should have I probably should have amplified it,

303
00:16:52.360 --> 00:16:54.320
but I didn't. But here we go. For the next

304
00:16:54.360 --> 00:16:58.559
ten minutes, you're going to hear AI basically give you

305
00:16:58.720 --> 00:17:01.519
a Theology Central Podcast episode.

306
00:17:01.720 --> 00:17:07.960
Here we go today on the Theology Central Podcast, we

307
00:17:08.000 --> 00:17:10.599
are going to examine specific verses in the Book of

308
00:17:10.599 --> 00:17:13.279
Psalms to see if they can be applied to us

309
00:17:13.880 --> 00:17:16.680
or if they should only be applied to the original audience.

310
00:17:17.480 --> 00:17:21.240
Psalm sixty eleven says give us help from trouble for

311
00:17:21.319 --> 00:17:25.400
vain is the help of man KJV. To determine whether

312
00:17:25.440 --> 00:17:28.200
this verse can be applied to us today, it's important

313
00:17:28.240 --> 00:17:32.279
to consider the verse within its context. Psalm sixty is

314
00:17:32.319 --> 00:17:34.839
a lament and prayer of David during a time of

315
00:17:34.839 --> 00:17:39.720
military distress. It reflects Israel's national struggle, a cry for

316
00:17:39.759 --> 00:17:43.559
God's intervention, and an acknowledgment of the insufficiency of human

317
00:17:43.599 --> 00:17:47.640
strength or alliances. David's plea for God's help comes in

318
00:17:47.680 --> 00:17:51.559
the context of covenant promises to Israel and God's relationship

319
00:17:51.680 --> 00:17:57.640
with his chosen people. Key considerations One immediate context. The

320
00:17:57.759 --> 00:18:00.799
verse reflects a historical moment where David, as the leader

321
00:18:00.799 --> 00:18:05.279
of Israel, acknowledges that human efforts and alliances cannot secure

322
00:18:05.319 --> 00:18:08.759
deliverance in battle. It is a plea rooted in Israel's

323
00:18:08.759 --> 00:18:12.440
covenant relationship with God, where their victories depended on his favor.

324
00:18:13.480 --> 00:18:18.880
Two timeless principle. The verse expresses a universal truth, the

325
00:18:18.920 --> 00:18:21.920
limitations of human effort and the necessity of relying on

326
00:18:22.000 --> 00:18:26.119
God for ultimate deliverance. This truth can resonate beyond the

327
00:18:26.279 --> 00:18:31.279
historical and covenantal context of Israel. For Christians, it aligns

328
00:18:31.319 --> 00:18:34.119
with the broader biblical teaching that God is our source

329
00:18:34.119 --> 00:18:38.039
of help and strength. For example Psalm forty six one

330
00:18:38.519 --> 00:18:46.640
John fifteen five three application to us today. While Christians

331
00:18:46.680 --> 00:18:49.240
are not under the same covenant as Israel, the principle

332
00:18:49.279 --> 00:18:53.440
of trusting God over human means applies to all believers. However,

333
00:18:53.880 --> 00:18:58.920
care must be taken not to misapply the verse. For instance, Spiritually,

334
00:18:59.519 --> 00:19:01.759
it can be rightly applied as a reminder of our

335
00:19:01.799 --> 00:19:06.160
dependence on God for salvation and spiritual sustenance, as human

336
00:19:06.240 --> 00:19:11.160
efforts are inadequate for these. Physically, we must avoid misapplying

337
00:19:11.160 --> 00:19:15.240
it to guarantee material deliverance or success. The New Testament

338
00:19:15.319 --> 00:19:18.839
does not promise believer's freedom from trouble, but assures God's

339
00:19:18.880 --> 00:19:23.319
presence and sustaining grace. For example Two Corinthians twelve nine

340
00:19:23.519 --> 00:19:29.039
ten conclusion. Psalm sixty eleven contains a truth that can

341
00:19:29.039 --> 00:19:32.319
be applied to us. In principle, reliance on God is

342
00:19:32.400 --> 00:19:37.079
essential because human strength is limited. However, its specific application

343
00:19:37.160 --> 00:19:40.960
should be understood in light of the original context, David's

344
00:19:40.960 --> 00:19:44.480
plea for military deliverance and the broader teachings of scripture.

345
00:19:45.759 --> 00:19:48.160
While we can use this verse to remind ourselves to

346
00:19:48.200 --> 00:19:51.799
trust in God's sovereignty. We should avoid directly equating it

347
00:19:51.839 --> 00:19:54.720
to our personal situations in the same way it applied

348
00:19:54.720 --> 00:19:58.039
to Israel under the Old Covenant. Now, let's consider Psalm

349
00:19:58.119 --> 00:20:03.000
ninety one fourteen nine fourteen says, because he hath set

350
00:20:03.039 --> 00:20:05.599
his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him. I

351
00:20:05.640 --> 00:20:07.599
will set him on high because he hath known my

352
00:20:07.720 --> 00:20:11.880
name KJV. To determine whether this verse can be applied

353
00:20:11.880 --> 00:20:15.319
to us today, we must examine its original context, meaning

354
00:20:15.519 --> 00:20:20.640
and theological implications. Context of Psalm ninety one. Psalm ninety

355
00:20:20.640 --> 00:20:23.400
one is a poetic declaration of God's protection for those

356
00:20:23.440 --> 00:20:27.000
who trust in him. It speaks of deliverance, safety, and

357
00:20:27.039 --> 00:20:31.319
God's faithfulness. The psalm likely reflects the experiences of those

358
00:20:31.359 --> 00:20:35.160
who seek refuge in God during times of danger. Verse

359
00:20:35.200 --> 00:20:40.480
fourteen transitions to God speaking directly, promising deliverance and exaltation

360
00:20:40.680 --> 00:20:44.640
to the one who loves and knows him. Key considerations

361
00:20:45.400 --> 00:20:51.200
one immediate context. The verse refers to God's promises to

362
00:20:51.240 --> 00:20:54.599
the faithful individual who loves him, set his love upon me,

363
00:20:55.160 --> 00:20:58.880
and knows his name. This reflects an intimate relationship with

364
00:20:58.960 --> 00:21:03.079
God marked by life, love, trust, and recognition. Of his character.

365
00:21:04.640 --> 00:21:08.160
These promises are rooted in the covenant relationship between God

366
00:21:08.240 --> 00:21:14.799
and his people, particularly Israel two covenantal and christological fulfillment.

367
00:21:15.960 --> 00:21:18.759
While Psalm ninety one has a general application to those

368
00:21:18.799 --> 00:21:21.960
who trust in God, it finds its ultimate fulfillment in

369
00:21:22.039 --> 00:21:26.319
Jesus Christ. For example, the New Testament cites Psalm ninety

370
00:21:26.359 --> 00:21:30.319
one during Satan's temptation of Jesus Matthew four six and

371
00:21:30.440 --> 00:21:33.680
Jesus perfect obedience and trust in God embody the Psalm's

372
00:21:33.680 --> 00:21:41.519
promises three principle for believers today, the promise of deliverance

373
00:21:41.519 --> 00:21:43.839
for those who love God is consistent with the broader

374
00:21:43.880 --> 00:21:47.240
biblical theme of God's care for his people Romans eight

375
00:21:47.279 --> 00:21:53.039
twenty eight John fourteen twenty one. However, spiritual deliverance the

376
00:21:53.079 --> 00:21:56.920
New Testament emphasizes God's ultimate deliverance from sin and eternal

377
00:21:56.960 --> 00:22:03.240
separation Colossians one thirteen fourteen physical deliverance. While God may

378
00:22:03.319 --> 00:22:07.079
intervene to protect believers in specific circumstances, there is no

379
00:22:07.160 --> 00:22:10.960
guarantee of physical safety in this fallen world. John sixteen

380
00:22:11.000 --> 00:22:17.480
thirty three two Timothy three twelve four conditionality of the promise.

381
00:22:18.640 --> 00:22:21.759
The promise is tied to setting one's love upon God

382
00:22:21.799 --> 00:22:26.400
and knowing his name. This implies an ongoing faithful relationship

383
00:22:26.480 --> 00:22:30.680
with God. For Christians, this love and knowledge are expressed

384
00:22:30.720 --> 00:22:37.079
through faith in Jesus Christ. Application to us today spiritual deliverance.

385
00:22:37.480 --> 00:22:40.240
This verse can be applied to us spiritually, as God

386
00:22:40.279 --> 00:22:43.920
promises deliverance and eternal security for those who love and

387
00:22:44.000 --> 00:22:47.160
trust Him in Christ John ten twenty eight twenty nine

388
00:22:48.200 --> 00:22:51.720
Physical deliverance. We should not misapply this verse to claim

389
00:22:51.759 --> 00:22:56.200
guaranteed protection from all earthly harm. Christians may face suffering,

390
00:22:56.319 --> 00:23:00.480
persecution and physical death, but God promises his sustaining grace

391
00:23:00.559 --> 00:23:05.640
and ultimate deliverance in eternity two Corinthians four seventeen eighteen.

392
00:23:06.920 --> 00:23:11.240
Relationship with God. The focus on setting love upon God

393
00:23:11.319 --> 00:23:14.960
and knowing his name emphasizes the relational aspect of faith.

394
00:23:15.920 --> 00:23:18.960
For believers. This means growing in love and trust through Christ,

395
00:23:19.319 --> 00:23:25.160
who reveals the fullness of God's name John seventeen six conclusion.
