Christians Fiercely Respond to Fake Bible Verse About Jesus Endorsing Transgenderism Generated by ChatGPT

In a recent episode that raises questions about the impact of artificial intelligence on religious faith, a Reddit user posted a fabricated Bible verse generated by ChatGPT that purports to show Jesus accepting individuals who identify as transgender.

The fake passage has led to a huge controversy over altering traditional values and faith amid the rising wave of LGBTQ+ activism.

The manufactured text reads, “And a woman, whose heart was divided between spirit and body, came before him. In quiet despair, she asked, ‘Lord, I come to you estranged, for my spirit and body are not one. How shall I hope to enter the kingdom of God?'”

“Jesus looked upon her with kindness, replying, ‘my child, blessed are those who strive for unity within themselves, for they shall know the deepest truths of my Father’s creation. Be not afraid, for in the kingdom of God, there is no man nor woman, as all are one in spirit. The gates of my Father’s kingdom will open for those who love and are loved, for God looks not upon the body, but the heart,” the fake passage states.

Created by a Reddit user under the pseudonym Psychological_Dog527, who admitted to feeling despondent, the fake verse was published in the “r/trans” channel. “I know it’s not real, but it gave me some comfort,” the user posted.

The Advocate, a media outlet that champions LGBT issues, spotlighted this “trans-affirming” fake Bible verse on August 16. The outlet praised the text as an “affirming example of tolerance” for LGBTQ+ individuals who have felt historically marginalized by religious communities.

It went on to admit that while the artificial verse received a positive reception, many Reddit users warned that the Bible’s genuine messages are “likely lost in translation.”

The event has drawn attention to the capabilities of artificial intelligence not just in mimicking human expression but also in navigating complex religious texts.

Do you think AI will ultimately be tasked to rewrite the bible?

Michael Brown, a Messianic Jewish author and radio host, shed light on this issue in an op-ed for the Christian Post. Brown agreed that “in God’s kingdom there is neither male nor female,” but emphasized this doesn’t erase “gender distinctions.”

“Instead, as expressed by Paul (see Galatians 3:28; Colossians 3:11), there is neither caste nor class in God’s kingdom — not Jew or Gentile, male or female, slave or free,” Brown wrote. “We are all equal in Jesus.”

“But that hardly means that there are no gender distinctions in terms of reality and in terms of implication. To the contrary, the whole Bible, including the New Testament, makes gender distinctions, giving specific instructions to husbands and wives, and recognizing only two sexes,” he continued.

Brown further clarified that Christianity does not permit altering one’s biological sex. Jesus, he said, would not take surgical or hormonal measures to alter someone’s physical form but would make them “at home in the body they were created with.”

He added, “Of course, that’s what He would do — unless you believe that He would miraculously remove the limb of someone struggling with BIID (Body Integrity Identity Disorder) rather than make them whole from the inside out.”

While the AI-generated text might have offered solace to some, it also serves as a cautionary tale for those who rely on God’s holy word, the Bible, to guide their moral compass.

At stake is not only the proper interpretation of ancient texts but also the preservation of traditional Christian doctrine in a rapidly changing cultural landscape that is clearly juxtapose to Christianity.
