Faith Illuminated: Your AI Guide for Biblical Wisdom and Everyday Living

Last Updated: March 10, 2025

Welcome to FlickerGPT. Please read this important disclaimer about the nature and limitations of our AI assistant.

1. Nature of This Tool

This AI chat assistant is a computer program designed to provide information and engage in conversations about the Bible and Christian faith. It is not a human being, nor does it possess consciousness, a soul, or spiritual discernment. It has been programmed with knowledge of Scripture and Christian teachings but lacks true understanding of faith as experienced by believers.

2. Limitations and Spiritual Guidance

• This AI cannot replace prayer, personal Bible study, or the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
• It is not a substitute for pastoral care, counseling, or fellowship within a church community.
• While it can reference Scripture, it cannot provide the spiritual discernment that comes through genuine faith and communion with God.
• For matters of spiritual significance, personal struggles, or important life decisions, please consult with trusted spiritual leaders in your faith community.

3. Biblical Interpretation

• This AI has been trained on various interpretations of Scripture but does not claim authority in biblical interpretation.
• Scripture can be understood differently across Christian traditions and denominations. The AI may not represent your specific doctrinal perspective.
• As 2 Timothy 2:15 encourages, please "study to show yourself approved unto God," and test all information against Scripture.
• The AI cannot replace the work of the Holy Spirit in illuminating Scripture (John 16:13).

4. Accuracy and Content

• While efforts have been made to ensure biblical accuracy, this AI may occasionally misquote Scripture, provide incomplete information, or make errors.
• It has been programmed with content filters that may limit responses to certain theological or ethical questions.
• All Scripture references should be verified with your own Bible.
• The AI's knowledge has limitations and may not include the most recent theological discussions or denominational positions.

5. Privacy and Data

• Conversations with this AI may be stored and reviewed for improving the system.
• Personal information shared during conversations should be limited, as this is not a confidential counseling service.
• While designed for Christian use, this AI operates on technology not specifically built for ministry purposes.

6. Faith and Technology

• Technology, including AI, should be used thoughtfully in service of faith, not as a replacement for authentic Christian practices.
• As Colossians 2:8 cautions, we should be careful not to be "taken captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy," including uncritical acceptance of technological solutions.
• This tool is meant to assist in exploring the Christian faith, not define it.

7. Updates and Changes

• This AI assistant may be updated periodically with new information or capabilities.
• Its programming and responses may change over time.

This AI assistant is provided as a supplementary resource for exploring Christian faith and Scripture. It does not replace the Bible, prayer, church community, or personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
