I've been giving this post a lot of thought and exactly how I wanted to present it.
It's something that I've been fighting with for a few weeks now, and hopefully you guys can follow my thinking here when it comes to....The bible and the future.
I saw a crazy stat online that claims a big chunk of professed Christians rarely, if ever read their bible. And what's even more alarming, which I'm sure you may not find surprising, is some might not even own a physical copy.
Think about the last time you were in church, was your pastor reading from his iPad? Do most of the congregation check out the scripture readings on their iPhone or Samsung? Do people even bring bibles to church anymore?
This gets me thinking.....About a future with no bibles.
Follow me here for a second....
I'm posting this on a blockchain. It's new tech. And what's the newest technology that everyone is drooling over these days....AI.
It's apparently going to change everything for us in the future and just one look right here on chain, and you can see how people use AI more than Google it seems.
So what happens in the future when you ask your favorite AI....
"Hey AI...What does John 3:16 say?"
Your AI, decides it's had enough of this Jesus guy and then spits out something like this....Hypothetically:
"For God so hated the world, that he crowned his favorite fallen angel.."
Obviously, this is me thinking worst case scenario but check this out....
We've already seen where entire chapters and verses have been removed from modern bibles, so how easy would it be for AI in the future to...Edit a few things. Right under our noses.
And seeing that a big chunk of Christians don't either own a physical bible never mind read it daily...So you can see where this might go.
Conspiracy theory?
Worst case scenario?
I dunno, but I'm going to start 'prepping' here because I just don't trust 'the world'. My prepping is, buying physical copies of the word of God. And this isn't about any one translation either, everyone knows I read the KJV and NKJV, but I think it's important that people just own physical copies. No matter what the translation.
This is just something to think about for the future. A future where everything is digital, maybe having a few analog copies of scripture might serve us well.
Hey maybe this is all me just thinking too deep into this but even if nothing happens with AI and changing the word...I think we can agree, that sticking out noses into the bible is a habit that we should all do much more of.
What are your thoughts?
Crazy talk?
Something to be concerned about?
