    An AI's response to what a soul is.

    From a Google search page, I asked an AI what the Bible says a "soul"
    is. This was its answer:

    The Bible describes the "soul" (Hebrew:
    nephesh, Greek: psyche) as the entire living being, not a separate,
    immortal part of a person. The concept of a soul that is inherently
    immortal and survives the body's death is rooted in Greek philosophy,
    not biblical teaching."

    Old Testament: Nephesh (??????)
    In the Old Testament, the Hebrew word nephesh is frequently translated
    as "soul" but refers to the life force or a living creature itself. It describes the whole person and can also mean "life," "person," or
    "creature".

    A living creature: Genesis 2:7 says that when God breathed "the
    breath of life" into man, "man became a living soul (nephesh)". This
    does not mean Adam received a soul but that he became a complete,
    living individual. The same term is used for animals in Genesis
    1:21...

    New Testament: Psyche (????)
    The New Testament uses the Greek word psyche, which carries a similar
    meaning to the Hebrew nephesh. While it sometimes contrasts the soul
    with the body, its meaning is determined by the context.

    The total person or a life: It is often used as a synonym for
    "life" or "person." For example, the disciples were counted as "three
    thousand souls" (Acts 2:41), meaning three thousand people..."

    Yes, the IMMORTAL soul comes from Greek influence of Aristotle and
    others.

    I didn't put quotation marks around my own opinion of something. Look
    again. I do put them around single words I want to stand out, like
    "soul".

    What the AI printed out started with the question I asked it.

    I also put quotation marks around words I quote from the Bible. Like
    part of Genesis 2:7 "the breath of life".


    So how about being more definitive?

    To me the bulk of your text was generated by the mantra of the JWAs dogma.

    Wrong. What I said the AI said, all came from the AI. Pose my exact
    question on the internet and see if you get an AI. Here is the
    question I asked: "What does the Bible say a "soul" is? [quotations
    were used so that it would treat it as one sentence instead of a bunch
    of individual words.]

    But what is interesting is that you mainly are commenting on my use of quotations, rather than what it said a soul is. It fully agreed with
    what I have been posting. The AI checked a bunch of references, and
    came up with that.

    Psyche.

    The AI that responded to me supported everything I taught from the
    Bible:

    1. Gen 2:7 says Adam IS a soul.
    2. OT nephesh (soul) can mean LIFE or the creature itself.
    3. Gen 1:20 calls fish "souls". Thus its the whole fish.

    -- Darby's Bible
    Genesis 1:20 And God said, Let the waters swarm with swarms of living
    souls [nephesh], and let fowl fly above the earth in the expanse of
    the heavens.
    [My brackets]

    4. NT psyche (that is how AI spelled it) is about the same as the OT.
    It can mean LIFE or PERSON.
    5. Immortal soul came from Greek psychology, namely Plato and
    Aristotle. Notice:

    Funk and Wagnall's Encyclopedia says,

    "Early Judaism considered the human personality as a whole, without
    making a sharp distinction between body and soul....The Christian
    doctrine of the soul has been strongly influenced by the philosophies
    of Plato and Aristotle."

    Compton's Encyclopedia (1995) states,

    "The long-held notions, devised by the Greeks and others, concerning
    man as a composite of material body and spiritual (or immortal) soul
    was foreign to Israel....There was no question of the body's dying and
    an immortal soul's going off by itself, because the individual was
    believed to be a unit, not a composite of body, mind, and soul."

    Are you now joining the ranks of AI Rosie to determine what the word of the
    Lord means?

    The AI that responded to me supported everything I taught from the
    Bible:

    1. Gen 2:7 says Adam IS a soul.
    2. OT nephesh (soul) can mean LIFE or the creature itself.
    3. Gen 1:20 calls fish "souls". Thus its the whole fish.

    -- Darby's Bible
    Genesis 1:20 And God said, Let the waters swarm with swarms of living
    souls [nephesh], and let fowl fly above the earth in the expanse of
    the heavens.
    [My brackets]

    4. NT psyche (that is how AI spelled it) is about the same as the OT.
    It can mean LIFE or PERSON.
    5. Immortal soul came from Greek psychology, namely Plato and
    Aristotle. Notice:

    Funk and Wagnall's Encyclopedia says,

    "Early Judaism considered the human personality as a whole, without
    making a sharp distinction between body and soul....The Christian
    doctrine of the soul has been strongly influenced by the philosophies
    of Plato and Aristotle."

    Compton's Encyclopedia (1995) states,

    "The long-held notions, devised by the Greeks and others, concerning
    man as a composite of material body and spiritual (or immortal) soul
    was foreign to Israel....There was no question of the body's dying and
    an immortal soul's going off by itself, because the individual was
    believed to be a unit, not a composite of body, mind, and soul."





    From a Google search page, I asked an AI what the Bible says a "soul"
    is. This was its answer:

    Yet, when properly calibrated, still comes up with more edifying and Biblically sound content than you do, envy boy.

    Envy is discernible, even to the unregenerate:

    rCLFor he knew that it was out of envy that they had delivered him
    up.rCY (Matthew 27:18, ESV)

    Envy manifests itself by contradicting Bible truth and trying to poison people's minds against those who proclaim it:

    rCLBut when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with
    envy; and contradicting and blaspheming, they opposed the things
    spoken by Paul.rCY (Acts 13:45, NKJV)

    rCLBut the unbelieving Jews stirred up the Gentiles and poisoned
    their minds against the brothers.rCY (Acts 14:2, ESV)

    Envy shows evidence of people who are operating under the influence of
    demonic wisdom.

    rCLBut if you have bitter envy and self-seeking in your hearts, do
    not boast and lie against the truth. This wisdom does not
    descend from above, but is earthly, sensual, demonic. For where
    envy and self-seeking exist, confusion and every evil thing are
    there.rCY (James 3:14rCo16, NKJV)

    Daily, I proclaim the same gospel in here that Paul said leads men to
    saving faith in Christ (1 Corinthians 15:1-4). Daily, I post articles
    which I know to be solidly based on the truth of the Bible. "Robert"
    does not offer any convincing Bible evidence that the content I'm
    posting in here is inconsistent with what the Bible teaches. Instead, he simply tries to poison people's minds against by association, that
    teaching which he has been unable to refute from Scripture.

    When someone devotes his life (as "Robert" has done) in an effort to
    poison people's minds against what I know to be sound Bible teaching, he
    is operating consistently with someone who is under the compulsion of
    demonic wisdom envy (James 3:14-15).

    Have you heard the good news Christ died for our sins (rCa), and God
    raised Him from the dead?

    That Christ died for our sins shows we're sinners who deserve the death penalty. That God raised Him from the dead shows Christ's death
    satisfied God's righteous demands against our sin (Romans 3:25; 1 John
    2:1-2). This means God can now remain just, while forgiving you of your
    sins, and saving you from eternal damnation.

    On the basis of Christ's death and resurrection for our sins, call on
    the name of the Lord to save you: "For 'everyone who calls on the name
    of the Lord will be saved'" (Romans 10:13, ESV).

    An AI's response to what a soul is.

    Where does AI end and your comments begin?

    Look for the quotation marks.

    If that be the case then the only thing quoted nothing you wrote is to be
    trusted here, since you used quotation marks around your question, unless
    you
    are an AI entity and many other quotation marks around various words.

    I didn't put quotation marks around my own opinion of something. Look again. I do put them around single words I want to stand out, like "soul".

    What the AI printed out started with the question I asked it.

    I also put quotation marks around words I quote from the Bible. Like
    part of Genesis 2:7 "the breath of life".


    So how about being more definitive?

    To me the bulk of your text was generated by the mantra of the JWrCOs dogma.

    Wrong. What I said the AI said, all came from the AI. Pose my exact question on the internet and see if you get an AI. Here is the
    question I asked: "What does the Bible say a "soul" is? [quotations
    were used so that it would treat it as one sentence instead of a bunch
    of individual words.]

    But what is interesting is that you mainly are commenting on my use of quotations, rather than what it said a soul is. It fully agreed with

    came up with that.

    I don't lie. What I quoted from AI all came from AI.
    I was surprised it got the Bible truths successfully.

    "thinking" was actually time elapsing as it put everything together.

    The AI that responded to me supported everything I taught from the

    4. NT psyche (that is how AI spelled it) is about the same as the OT.
    It can mean LIFE or PERSON.
    5. Immortal soul came from Greek psychology, namely Plato and
    Aristotle. Notice:

    Funk and Wagnall's Encyclopedia says,

    "Early Judaism considered the human personality as a whole, without
    making a sharp distinction between body and soul....The Christian
    doctrine of the soul has been strongly influenced by the philosophies
    of Plato and Aristotle."

    Compton's Encyclopedia (1995) states,

    "The long-held notions, devised by the Greeks and others, concerning
    man as a composite of material body and spiritual (or immortal) soul
    was foreign to Israel....There was no question of the body's dying and
    an immortal soul's going off by itself, because the individual was
    believed to be a unit, not a composite of body, mind, and soul."

    The Bible describes the "soul" (Hebrew:

    immortal part of a person. The concept of a soul that is inherently
    immortal and survives the body's death is rooted in Greek philosophy,

    In the Old Testament, the Hebrew word nephesh is frequently translated >> > > as "soul" but refers to the life force or a living creature itself. It >> > > describes the whole person and can also mean "life," "person," or
    "creature".

    A living creature: Genesis 2:7 says that when God breathed "the
    breath of life" into man, "man became a living soul (nephesh)". This
    does not mean Adam received a soul but that he became a complete,
    living individual. The same term is used for animals in Genesis
    1:21...

    New Testament: Psyche (????)
    The New Testament uses the Greek word psyche, which carries a similar
    meaning to the Hebrew nephesh. While it sometimes contrasts the soul
    with the body, its meaning is determined by the context.

    The total person or a life: It is often used as a synonym for
    "life" or "person." For example, the disciples were counted as "three
    thousand souls" (Acts 2:41), meaning three thousand people..."

    Yes, the IMMORTAL soul comes from Greek influence of Aristotle and others.

    Here is a summary of what the AI Bible researched:

    1.) Hebrew soul= nephesh.
    2.) Greek soul= psyche.
    3.) The Bible soul is the whole being. (Gen 2:7)
    4.) IMMORTAL soul is from Greek philosophy. Not Bible.
    5.) OT nephesh can mean "life" or "creature".

    I was surprised it got the Bible truths successfully.

    "thinking" was actually time elapsing as it put everything together.

    Then it should have stated please wait while I search for what other men say.

    Very little difference between what the JW books say when they list typical question, and how you should respond. Then lie as they stall for time to find answers to specified questions.

    They get all flustered when you question their answers with scripture from
    the bible that contradicts their rCLthinkingrCY exactly like AI does when you point out its errors with the facts and then goes into full out parrot mode repeating what it previously said while never admitting that it told a lie. Like the JW it is not trained to admit that it lied. And even reshapes the definition of a lie.





    Jesus said.rCLTake my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.rCY (Mat 11:29)

    Jehovah in Hebrew, as translated by 70 Jewish priests into Greek?

    Like Jesus said to Satan, rCLThough shalt not tempt the Lord thy GodrCY?


    Sincerely James

    A sincere liar, one that believes their lies, does not excuse them before others.

    Nowhere did AI list this as its source. Made obvious in that you did not encapsulate it with quotes with the claim that AI showed you that.

    You should at least tell AI to quote only from your specified places, and to mention that in its reply as its sole source. Or do not tell others that you shaped what AI was to quote so that you can then post it as your own commentary.

    Like tell it to look up things only in the JW traditions past and present
    that are verifiably JW, then post that as your commentary on JW life. That will give you the opportunity to edit it so as to eliminate past proven lies and erroneous prophecies, so as to shape it as new revealed truth in a brighter light.

    Now, of course, a person could always go back in time via AI to do a comparative study on the JW using old doctrines that the new doctrines
    totally contradict. Then publish the works in whole or in part on a daily basis. Thus destroying a white washed fence for what it really is.

    AI has already been found to have killed people due to people who followed is as Artificial Intelligence rather that understanding it as just Another
    Idiot, that makes massive mistakes and deadly conclusions.
