Dear Editor in Chief,

Then another scholar asked the A.I.: a) is it true that all living animals
were saved from extinction during the time of Noah because of a big
wooden boat? The A.I. after searching from stored consensus of
question/answer data answered: perhaps the A.I. would give more weigh
with scientific analysis concerning preservation of many species for
extinction because there would be many details that would be in questions if
the details in the religious story of Noah would be given more weigh using
scientific analysis. Or using scientific findings with religious analysis is not
in tune with each other rather it would be better using scientific analysis on
scientific findings. Example it would be hard to prove that the highest
mountain was covered with 25 ft more of flood water during the Great Flood
as perhaps described in Genesis; or perhaps the highest mountain then for
the writer was just an ordinary mountain in his local world.
But if the story really had happened in a certain local world that a big
wooden boat was made to save many animals from extinction, perhaps the
lesson is: to show how obedient Noah was and he would save few people
from those majority who were bad and the majority would be destroyed-a
religious analysis with religious findings. Perhaps the account might had
happened on a particular place on earth but perhaps the flooding happened
not on the entire planet earth about 5,000-10,000 years ago.
b) Where can you find the word “Word of God” “beast”, “proud claim”,
“wonders” or “miracles”, “group”, “one” or “once” in the bible? The A.I….
answered: Rev. 13:5 “The beast was allowed to make proud claims which
were insulting to God and it was permitted to have authority for forty-two
months.” Rev.19:13: the robe he wore was covered with blood. His name is
the “Word of God.” Mark 9:38 John said to him, “Teacher, we saw a man
who was driving out demons in your name, and we told him to stop, because
he doesn’t belong to our group.” Rev. 19:19-21: Then I saw the beast and
the kings of the earth and their armies gathered to fight against the one who
was riding the horse and against his army. The beast was taken prisoner,
together with the false prophet who had performed miracles that he had
deceived those who had worshiped the image of the beast. Mark 13: 21-23:
“then, if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Messiah! or, ‘Look, there he
is!’—do not believe him. For false Messiahs and false prophets will appear.
They will perform miracles and wonders in order to deceive even God’s
chosen people, if possible. Be on your guard! I have told you everything
ahead of time.
c) Is there really once sacrifice on crucifixion or there are many mystic
sacrifices of crucifixion called transubstantiation? Where in the bible could
you find that there is one sacrifice? …then the A.I. answered: Hebrew 7:23-
25: quote: But Jesus lives on forever, and his work as priest does not pass
on to someone else. And so he is able, now and always, to save those who
come to God through him, because he lives forever to plead with God for
them. Verse 27: He is not like other high priests; he does not need to offer
sacrifices every day for his own sin first and then for the sins of the people.
He offered one sacrifice, once and for all, when he offered himself.
Unquote. But, perhaps, there are also words in the bible that defend the
“living bread” as the “Lamb of God” and as mystic sacrificial lamb in doing
religious rituals in the bible especially Matthew 26, Mark 14, I Corinthians
11.
 d)What is more practical to do, first concentrate on good mystics or good
mysteries or just concentrate first on counter weighing small problems that
create small extremes like stampede- disorderliness, not beautiful to look at,
too much boastfulness during feast days of religious Models, religious riots
and disrespectful with authority, and others? Could religious Models divert
the universal word to be ineffective?...the A.I. was disturbed because
disorderliness is a problem of almost all groups except for some few
religious groups that emphasize on specifics using words example of what
type of clothes should be worn on worship even using penalties and
classifying people and letting first the worship center really be in order, with
harmony, with good personal relationship with the Lord, the worship place is
beauty to the eye, etc.
But for other groups, they emphasize more on the mystic, mysteries
rather than on the practical outcome. Perhaps why make some compromise
or have some blending or mixing doing away some excesses on too much
emphasizing on mysteries or mystic, rituals but rather filling or adding more
on specific simple clarities such as in using prescribed clothes for
worshipping, arrangement of people, doing orderly even practicing activities
that should be orderly in any religious festival or procession, letting just
enough worshippers to enter church avoiding crowded people worshipping
by closing the door/s so that just enough of people could enter. Or make
some creativity to avoid people rushing during peak hours, example making
a policy that those with family name beginning with A-D should worship on
8-9 am rather all people would select his or her wants that the essence of
worshipping is destroyed because of congestion. Perhaps closed doors need
air-conditioning which is expensive. Or why build balcony or second floor
or look for bigger church or open field or rent sports complex. And if the
leaders and the faithful would be challenged of any physical evil example
this hot-air, the physical evil could be another stimulus to create economic
cycle or boosts consumables that enhances economic dominoes or economic
cycles. Perhaps tithes for the rich could be considered; and voluntary giving
for the poor…! It is like a painter who would proportionate or balance things
so that it is beautiful to look at, it is good to feel; the essence of worshipping
is given more value by removing all obstacles or disturbances that surround
it before or simultaneous with the delivering the good teaching. Or doing
and following the universal word could easily be tested on their immediate
surroundings-the worship centers, and neighbors-the worshippers.
Where can you find an incident that Jesus gave more priority in
explaining details and specifics than those giving more respect in idol or
icon or respectable people? ….then the A.I. answered: perhaps on Mark
3:31-34 could give some clarity: quote: “….look, your mother and your
brothers and sisters are outside, they want you.” Jesus answered, “Who is
my mother? Who are my brothers?” He looked at the people sitting around
him and said, “Look! Here are my mother and my brothers! Whoever does
what God wants him to do is my brother, my sister, my mother.” Unquote:
Then another scholar asked the A.I.: How come the Word or Jesus’ teachings
are more of his priorities than minding first the attention that is being called
by his mother. Example: perhaps when Jesus was being called to go home to
eat first because the mother was worried that his son might get hungry! The
A.I. answered: Perhaps it is obvious in this event that Jesus gave more
importance to his teachings or the word. Perhaps it is clear that Jesus values
more his teachings. Or sometimes Jesus even rebuked his mother about
doing a miracle in an incident in a wedding in Cana; but Jesus was obedient.
(John 2:1-12). Quote: Jesus’ mother said to him, “they are out of wine.”
“You must not tell me what to do.” Jesus replied. “My time has not yet
come.” Unquote.
Sometimes, the words “sisters”, “brothers” in Mark 3:31-34 uttered by
someone in the crowd is being used by other people now accusing Jesus that
Jesus had biological brothers or sisters or that Jesus is not a product of a
virgin birth especially on some controversial books and controversial
preachers--it would be impossible that a woman would still remain a virgin
or the O-ring inside…is still preserved after delivery; but if a miracle could
allow it then nothing is impossible with God!
Another different interpretations of words is on Revelation 12:1-17
quote:…There was a woman, whose dress was the sun and who had the
moon under her feet and a crown of twelve stars on her head…unquote: The
A.I. comment: some groups interpret the “woman” in Rev. 12 as: a) the
mother of Jesus but other groups interpret the “woman” as: b) the mother
church or as: c) the spiritual good people or “herbs of sheep” of any group;
because there are also wolves among herbs of sheep. Or there are good
Christians, good Muslims, good Hindu, good Buddhists; or the universal
church of good people, etc. The twelve stars is interpreted as- the twelve
apostles as leaders by most groups. So, there would be many interpretations;
but in a democracy…let the best interpretation prevails and the litmus paper
is the whole result of the product or the group’s performance as a country or
nation. Did the country becomes more balanced or did the country becomes
more fanatics and diverted to lean to too much aspirations to miracles and
false hope, too much personal attacks and too much works using the tongue
rather than concrete doable solutions both physical and spiritual aspects?
Having plenty of interpretations for words is the danger of giving also too
much details and specifics in words. The key is simple: anything that could
lessen the goodness of the universal word should be avoided because the
controversy will cause conflicts and misunderstanding. Or there is one
thought one purpose- love; or one has no obligation to others except to love.
Then another scholar was disturbed because he belongs to another group
that does not believe on the mystery of Trinity and asked: e) Can I rebuke
another member of a group with a smile because I love my enemy telling
him that I do not believe the doctrine of Trinity especially that our group
teaches different things about the nature of God; because there is only one
God-not composed of persons? The A.I. was disturbed again and answered:
Perhaps there is that incident where Jesus answered that one could say all
negative words against his being a human or person but to say that his
teaching is a teaching from the devil, Jesus warned that it is a sin against the
spirit which is an unpardonable mistake or fault. So perhaps if the teachings
of a particular group does not claim that the teachings of Jesus is from the
devil then even if that group doesn’t agree that Jesus is a member of the
Trinity to form the mystery of the Blessed Trinity as one God then perhaps
the group could be tolerated to be a good group as long as it doesn’t teach
teachings that is beyond universal rule or universal consensus.
f) Could statues, icons, superstars, models, movies, computer systems be
used as a diversionary tactics by the deceiver using deceptive words? Then
the A.I. was puzzled again and answered: Now with regards to monuments,
statues, icons, superstar, models, computer systems as long as they are not
used as proofs of superiority or supremacy among groups and not as an
instrument, or a tool or medium to distract the focus of the brain to know the
universal word, or that example the icon is now the magnet or “belief” so
that the mind or thinking faculty is hypnotized not to search, not to study,
not to listen to the word or that by touching the icon once in a year during
feast day one is already forgiven all the sins, or the icon deflects the
attention of man to glorify, to adore, to give more respect to its
accomplishments than giving the word chance to run the brain that result not
to mind especially those small extremes or chaotic things first or to fix first
those small disorder or balanced them with counter measure then the icon or
model might be an instrument for diversion or deception.
