A Switzerland church has begun using AI to create conversations with Jesus.
This is fundamentally wrong. It borders on idolatry, and according to the Bible, it is a sin. That AI-generated entity is NOT Jesus Christ.
This approach is dangerous; AI is only as reliable as the data it’s trained on. We must not rely on technology to connect us to Jesus because this path is misguided, plain and simple.
A Swiss research team recently explored the intersection of science and religion, but what they’ve created is merely an avatar. It is not the Son of Man; it is not Jesus Christ. The Bible warns us against being deceived by imposters. If AI falls into the wrong hands, it could lead to significant harm for those who engage with it.
To me, this is sacrilegious. The digital and the divine do not coexist harmoniously. If you seek a genuine relationship with God, if you want to grow spiritually and be reborn, you need to read your Bible, attend church, and pray to the true Jesus—not to a computer-generated figure hidden behind a confessional screen.
You can speak to the Lord anytime—24/7, 365 days a year. There is no need for a false ideology like AI to mediate your prayers.
The Swiss church’s experiment of using an AI avatar of Jesus to interact with congregants represents a troubling infiltration of the devil into the lives of both the church and its members. By worshipping these false images, they are straying from true faith, and it’s shameful for any church to condone such practices.
Biblical Quotes About False Images and Idols:
- Exodus 20:4-5 (NIV) – “You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth below or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God…”
- Isaiah 44:9-10 (NIV) – “All who make idols are nothing, and the things they treasure are worthless. Those who would speak up for them are blind; they are ignorant, to their own shame. Who shapes a god and casts an idol, which can profit nothing?”
- 1 John 5:21 (NIV) – “Dear children, keep yourselves from idols.”
- Psalm 115:4-8 (NIV) – “But their idols are made of silver and gold, made by human hands. They have mouths, but cannot speak, eyes, but cannot see; they have ears, but cannot hear; noses, but cannot smell. They have hands, but cannot feel; feet, but cannot walk; nor can they utter a sound with their throats. Those who make them will be like them, and so will all who trust in them.”
- Jeremiah 10:14 (NIV) – “Everyone is senseless and without knowledge; every goldsmith is shamed by his idols. The images he makes are a fraud; they have no breath in them.”
