If you’re following me on socials you must have seen my latest banger. It’s getting attention on every platform, and triggering as many people as it’s enlightening. Check this out, then let me share a few thoughts about the backlash.

Protestant DeFormatoion

I didn’t expect this video to convince protestants but I also didn’t expect they’d take another first-class trip to Fantasy Land with some of their comments. They claimed I had trained the AI, coached the responses, that the video was faked, that the AI was lying. One even claimed to get the exact opposite response when he asked ChatGPT “Didn’t the Roman Catholic Church add 7 books to the Bible?” That turned out to be a lie, which I’ll get to in a minute (with screen shots!).

Two words to describe this backlash: “Desperate” and “Stupid”

I recently was reminded how difficult and painful conversion often is as it was for me. I was “convicted” of employing what I call combat apologetics where I seek to destroy an ARGUMENT instead of charitably engaging a real live human.

Many times someone is lashing out as a last ditch effort to suppress truths that they find threatening and fearing the cost of discipleship. Tearing into them uncharitably may actually push them away instead of drawing them in.

Mea maxima culpa. 😳‼️

I know this problem well, have been guilty of it often. I try VERY hard to remain ever-aware of it when I engage, respond, etc. so that I can course correct and change my tone, use different words, or simply not engage at all, if it isn't worth it (and if engaging would do more harm than good). Sometimes the warrior does need to come up. But if he's unchained all the time, he's not a warrior anymore, he's a monster. So I'm with you. Everything you said sounded like I wrote it lol. Thanks for commenting, brother.
