AI with Roman Catholic traits – justification “Holy Sunday”

Deutsch

If you ask AI about certain topics in the Gospel, you’ll get answers that are quite heavily Roman Catholic. This is especially true when it comes to questions about the Sabbath and Sunday. It’s both fatal and revealing when proponents of Sunday observance use AI, present the answers as evidence, and then fail to acknowledge even the sliver of truth they contain. In short: AI provokes the (final) surrender of one’s own reason, for the good of the “animal.”

Roller coaster already in the first somersault loop

Things are picking up speed. As the prophet Amos predicted for the end-time church, the sequence of events will be absolutely rapid. Amos 9:13:
“Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him that soweth seed; and the mountains shall drop sweet wine, and all the hills shall melt.“

An exaggerated depiction of how incredibly quickly everything will happen. The reaper, responsible for the harvest, will overtake the sower. But then the “excessive abundance” of God’s Word will follow in abundance, everywhere. The so-called loud cry will not be ignored. And who will cry? The upright, steadfast, unwavering members of God’s last church, shortly before Jesus Christ returns.

The Loud Call – Final Warnings

What will the loud cry proclaim? Specifically, the three angels’ message according to Revelation 14, as well as the even louder voice of the fourth angel and the complementary voice in Revelation 18.
1st angel – Worship God, the Creator of all things, and no one else.
2nd angel – Babylon is fallen, fallen (finally and irreversibly).
3rd angel – Under no circumstances accept the mark of the beast.
Details on the Three Angels’ Message

4th Angel – Repeated warning that Babylon has completely fallen away and become a house of demons.
Further Voice – Final call to get out of Babylon as quickly as possible.
Revelation 18:2-5

The Fourth Commandment, the Sabbath, is inextricably included in the first angel’s message. In Exodus 20:8-11, God clearly relates His Fourth Commandment to His quality as the Creator of all things. It is also the Sabbath that, since the ministry of the first apostles in the first century, has been at the center of the attacks of the Adversary and his later vassal, the papacy (Revelation 13:2). (Info).

For this reason, the Sabbath, a commandment of God, and Sunday, a commandment of the Beast (the papacy), will be the ultimate and all-decisive guides. Every person either follows God’s order or chooses the statutes of the Beast. Both are tantamount to recognizing an authority. There is nothing in between, no “neutral zone”—either or (Info).

Adversary will not achieve his goal

No surprise, but rather clearly predictable, are increasing attacks focused on the Sabbath. The “prince of this world” (John 12:31; John 14:30; John 16:11) knows full well that he doesn’t have much time (Revelation 12:12), and time is becoming increasingly scarce for him. His efforts increasingly resemble a furious, irascible rage. His goal is to drag as many people as possible into his own destruction, should his primary “desire,” perhaps already harbored in complete delusion, fail to materialize.

If Satan were to actually succeed, as his faithful servant Nimrod once attempted, in uniting all of humanity in rebellion against God, he would have a “trump card in his hand.” There would be no one left who would be faithful to God, let alone obedient. Everyone would accept the Adversary as the authority. At this point, Satan would be able to raise his finger and say, “You see, all people follow me, none of them follow you. If you destroy me now, the entire universe will recognize that I am right in saying that you are an arbitrary ruler.”

But, as Revelation reveals, Satan will not achieve his goal. Whether he, in his delusion, wants to accept this coming realization or not is completely irrelevant. The prophecy comes true, and that’s it. The Lord will not respond with one remaining faithful to God, nor even with two dozen, but with those who have been “bought from among men for God and the Lamb” (Revelation 14:4-5), namely the 144,000 (Revelation 7). Satan has no other option than to attempt to kill the remaining faithful to God. That is the moment when God will finally intervene and bring an end to the approximately 6,000-year drama.

God has also confirmed His absolutely reliable promise by regularly presenting descriptions of future events in the past tense. The fulfillment of the prophecy is so guaranteed that it can already be spoken of today as if it had already been fulfilled.

The tones become sharper

The bandages surrounding the (spiritual) war waged over the Sabbath are being tightened. To describe the Sabbath as obsolete, superfluous, erased, done away with, abolished, and replaced, no amount of distortion or bending of the God-given ability to think independently is above it.

It is very sad to witness how people, gullible and naive, careless, and even ignorant, simply believe in any theses and pronouncements. Especially when the deluded preacher presents himself in impressive garments, feigning a supposed competence, holiness, and, above all, pious “sincerity.” However, if these hypocritical figures do not speak according to the prophets and the law, they are all imposters and charlatans. There is not a single spark of light in them, but only abysmal darkness.

Declaration of Bankruptcy – Asking AI about the Gospel

A direct escalation of this carelessness and the vividly demonstrated lack of love for truth is the questioning of the hyped technology of artificial intelligence. How dependent and misconditioned do you have to be to throw your own (remaining) intelligence into the trash by relying on AI’s answers and then proudly presenting them as proof of your own wildest theories?

What one social media user used to prove the supposed superfluity of the Sabbath is, however, very revealing regarding AI itself. AI certainly offers valuable assistance in many areas, but in this case, as the AI’s response itself demonstrates, one might conclude that “Little AI” was once baptized as a Roman Catholic, or, as a believer in futurism and dispensationalism, became a victim of the Jesuits (Info). In both cases, the roads nevertheless led to Rome.

Response of the AI used by “Aunt Google”

It’s not the intention to persuade people to interpret the Bible’s statements themselves, but rather to rely on what AI says. This is then simply adopted because it fits perfectly with the author’s own narrative. It’s then dragged and dropped into the comments section of a social media post declaring the Sabbath a binding commandment as “evidence.”

As an introductory statement, AI provides the following:

“Early believers typically met on Sunday, the first day of the week, to commemorate the resurrection of Jesus. This practice is evident in the New Testament and early church writings. While some early Christians also participated in synagogue services on the Jewish Sabbath, their primary day for Christian gatherings and worship was Sunday.“

What the answer actually says

In fact, the apostles did (also) meet on the first day of the week. It’s even described in Acts 20. But what did they do on that day? They “broke bread” and collected the offerings for the churches. Why did they do this on the first day? Because financial matters, counting, and bookkeeping were not to be conducted on a Sabbath. Furthermore, this meeting began immediately after the end of the Sabbath, because the candles placed for illumination symbolize the darkness that had already set in. Therefore, according to our calendar, it was late Saturday evening, because the new day began with sunset.

The term “breaking bread” is not explicitly an expression for the Lord’s Supper, but rather a common usage to introduce the meal. Acts 2:42 shows that “breaking bread” was a completely ordinary event.

Which “writings of the early church” is AI referring to? That remains an open question. If these are the writings of the first “church fathers” of the Roman Catholic Church, extreme caution is warranted anyway. Paganism, or rather the work of the “lawless,” had already entered the church of Rome (and Alexandria) at the time of the apostles (2 Thessalonians 2:5-10).

Yes, there were also congregations that observed the first day of the week as a commemoration of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. But does this statement contain any indication that they automatically declared the Sabbath obsolete? No, nowhere. At this point, AI is taking a huge leap of faith by claiming that Sunday became the most important day of the week in relation to Christianity. This may well have been true for the early apostasy from the gospel in some congregations. After all, the Church of Rome emerged from such a movement.

AI “justifies” with verse excerpts

After the introductory words, AI continues by pointing out individual verses and supposedly logical connections.

Resurrection Day

AI explains that Sunday was chosen to honor the resurrection of Jesus.

Yes, that’s right. On the first day, Jesus Christ rose from the dead. This day can certainly be commemorated and highlighted separately. The early Church of Rome was “so bold” as to simply declare the first day of the week as the “Lord’s Day.” This was without the authority of the Bible, for although the “Lord’s Day” is mentioned many times, it is never connected to the first day of the week (Info).

And even if all of early Christianity had celebrated the first day of the week as a commemoration of the resurrection of Jesus Christ, is there any justification for simultaneously declaring the Sabbath, God’s commandment, null and void? The Church of Rome did so, quite officially, and continues to vehemently defend it today (Info).

You can choose and invent other special reasons to commemorate special events. No problem. But all of this by no means abolishes the Sabbath.

Acts 20:7

AI explains: “This verse mentions early Christian gathering on the first day of the week for break bread, a practice associated with the Lord’s Supper.“

The apostles met on this day and broke bread. As already described above and explained in Acts 2:42, “breaking bread” is by no means the ritual of Communion, but rather the initiation of the consumption of a meal. The connection of this custom with Communion is an idea of the Church of Rome. However, AI refrains from specifying who introduced this custom. It certainly wasn’t the apostles. That sounds a bit like the statement “generally accepted.” However, the majority does not necessarily mean the truth.

1 Corinthians 16:2

AI says: “This passage indicates that Christians were instructed to set aside offerings on the first day of the week.“

Paul’s call to the church to pay taxes on the first day of the week. That’s true. But AI simply implies that this must be a ritual or part of the “holy day.” The opposite is the case. Such things have no place on the holy Sabbath (the previous day) and should therefore be avoided. Precisely for this reason, the next day, the first day of the week, is an ordinary working day.

Revelation 1:10

AI claims: “John’s vision on Patmos occurred on the Lord’s Day, further solidifying Sunday as a day of worship.“

Here, AI is both wrong and cheeky, apparently preying on people’s carelessness and laziness. As if it were self-evident, AI equates the “Lord’s Day” with Sunday. Where in the entire Bible is this defined? Nowhere! As previously described, the “Lord’s Day” is mentioned many times in the Bible, but in no single case is it associated with Sunday. Here are the details.

The “Lord’s Day” described by John in Revelation 1:10 is clearly the Sabbath, the 7th day of the week. AI can spew as many bits and bytes as it wants, and it won’t change anything.

Early writings of the church

AI relies on ancient writings: “The Didache, written around A.D. 100, also mentions gathering on the Lord’s Day to break bread.“

Actually, it’s embarrassing. The Didache is a text of unknown origin. Several authors are suspected, probably(!) from the Syrian region. Once included in the canon by Clement of Alexandria (c. 150-215), but expelled by Eusebius of Caesarea (c. 260 to c. 340). Since the Didache (chapters 7 to 10) also refers to the Eucharist as a sacrament, this as yet incomplete discovery can be used to demonstrate the already begun apostasy from the Gospel.

AI simply emphasizes “ancient writing,” thereby holding out an abstract stick, and the lemmings will simply jump over it. Yes, unfortunately, that’s almost guaranteed to work these days.

Not the Sabbath

AI still surprises: “Early Christians did not observe Sunday as a replacement for the Sabbath. They viewed Sunday as a day to celebrate the new creation in Christ.“

Yes, exactly, that’s right. But unfortunately, it’s usually the case that the superficial reader, who only seeks self-confirmation, lacks the feedback from the previous explanations, whereupon they should actually realize for themselves that all these explanations in no way justify the abolition of the Sabbath. If the Fourth Commandment didn’t clearly state, “Six days you shall work, but on the seventh day you shall rest,” then one could also exaggerate and say, “Fill each weekday with a memorial day of your own choosing, and celebrate it, except for the seventh day. For this is God’s Sabbath!”

AI concludes, quite correctly, that Sunday was NOT a substitute for the Sabbath. A statement that likely vanishes into the sudden nirvana of blindness for many readers. This must also be the case for the person who consulted AI and “triumphantly” presented the answer as supposed proof of his “anti-Sabbathism.” After all, AI must be right, and using one’s own reasoning apparatus would seem a waste of energy and time. It’s embarrassing, but the dilemma of this matter outweighs it.

It’s striking that AI proceeds according to the tried-and-tested principle practiced by the Church of Rome for centuries. A whole package of suggestions, without evidence, the creation of facts that aren’t facts at all. And ultimately, a spark of truth is presented, which, however, presupposes the independent thinking of the recipients of the message. After all, reality has been presented, albeit not in a striking way, but at least no one can claim to have had no chance of even recognizing the truth. Ultimately, it is the individual’s own decision which paths to continue pursuing and which authority to recognize.

“Phase 2” of 3 already underway

The number of increasingly harsh voices against God’s Fourth Commandment is visibly increasing. The arguments of those who call themselves “Christians” who reject the Sabbath strikingly resemble a similar, incomprehensible “logic” of relativism, something we have long since become accustomed to from the “colorful, diverse rainbow agenda.”

Absolute values are relativized and replaced by their own narratives, and declared normative. The self-indulgent sense of moral superiority prevents the necessary rational thinking. This is what spiritual blindness can look like. A primary unwillingness to obey develops into an absolute inability to see at all.

The initial phase has long since passed (“Phase 1”). As things stand, an “argumentative consolidation of the error” regarding the supposed abolition of the Sabbath is already underway (“Phase 2”). For once the Sunday law, with the subsequent or even associated ban on Sabbath observance, is in effect (“Phase 3”), there will be no need to prepare for viewing Sabbath-keepers as “unruly troublemakers.” The majority will already be preconditioned “in a convenient time.”
