Can Ai be used for personal Bible study
Ai can be "cautiously" used by a believer during home study, in connection with a solid study Bible and church shepherding. This will discuss points to keep in mind, and give advice, as well as examples from Ai.
Topic: Eve and things Christian women can learn and be aware of while pursuing holy living, and maintaining a right relationship with God, and the men they submit to (at home and church).
When we do not use very detailed prompts with Ai...we Christians don't get all we need and should get in response to study a topic. Not knowing what to ask, causes Ai to fall very short of what we need. It is why true discipleship is first mostly to be done at church.
Here's a sample Ai query
Ai, on topic of women, Q: What is one of the first places in Scripture that speaks to a believer in holy living? Is it in Eden for reminding women their role as a helpmeet and not to be a usurper over man and husband?
A: One of the first places in Scripture that speaks to the concept of holy living is found in the book of Genesis, particularly in the creation account. In Genesis 1:26-27, God creates humanity in His image, and in Genesis 2:18, He describes the creation of woman as a "helper" for man. This passage has often been the starting point regarding the roles of men and women.
However, the broader theme of holy living is also addressed throughout Scripture, particularly in the New Testament. For example, in 1 Peter 1:15-16, believers are called to be holy as God is holy. This call to holiness encompasses all aspects of life, including relationships, conduct, and moral choices.
While the creation account does set the stage for understanding roles and relationships, the concept of holy living is more fully developed throughout the entirety of Scripture, emphasizing a life that reflects God's character and purposes.

When asking Ai about Eve in Eden, it didn't point out in summary the problem which led to all the problems we have to navigate through because of the fall, the sins she committed, before Adam even sinned. Adam was created by God and to be the Head/ the leader, the one responsible for humanity. Adams sin plunged Humans into the sin nature. He disobeyed God and let the woman lead, make decisions, didn't stop or correction her.
Her sins were first not trusting God, then pride, temptation, disobedience, and leading Adam astray. And it is why when corruption entered God said women would now in rebellion/ sin constantly try to usurp man, go outside her designed role, to try to be the leader [in rebellion], and will be in a struggle with her husband, instead of submitting to him, God and in love. Because of the now fallen nature. Its why we have additional struggles men don't have. Even as tedeemed women in Christ we still have to find and kill that sin when like a snake it pokes up it's head again.

Ai, Q: [From a protestant conservative perspective], What points should women understand from the sin Eve committed, and questions should a woman ask about ensuring she's following God's design, role and will so she doesnt sin like Eve?
The story of Eve in the Garden of Eden (Genesis 3) is often examined for its theological implications regarding sin, temptation, and the roles of men and women. Here are some key points that women might consider, along with questions to reflect on in order to align with God's design and will:
### Key Points to Understand:
1. **The Nature of Temptation**: Eve's encounter with the serpent illustrates how temptation can distort God's truth. Understanding the nature of temptation and being aware of its subtlety is crucial.
2. **The Importance of God's Word**: Eve's twisting/ misinterpretation of God's command highlights the importance of knowing and understanding Scripture accurately. This underscores the need for diligent study of the Bible.
3. **The Consequences of Disobedience**: The narrative shows that disobedience to God leads to significant consequences, not just for the individual but for all of humanity. This emphasizes the seriousness of sin.
4. **The Role of Responsibility**: Eve's actions and the subsequent consequences remind believers of the importance of personal responsibility in their choices and actions.
5. **God's Grace and Redemption**: Despite the fall, the promise of redemption through Christ is a central theme in Scripture. Understanding God's grace is essential for all believers.
Questions for a Reflection study:
1. **Am I Grounded in Scripture?**: As, Scripture is the Word of God, from God to man. Do I regularly read and study the Bible to understand God's commands and His will for my life?
2. **How Do I Respond to Temptation?**: When faced with temptation, do I seek God's guidance and strength, or do I rely on my own understanding?
3. **Am I Seeking God's Design for My Life?**: In what ways am I actively seeking to fulfill the role God has for me, whether in my family, church, or community?
4. **Do I Surround Myself with Wise Counsel?**: Am I seeking advice and accountability from my saved husband & mature believers at church who can help guide me in my spiritual journey, to help me live holy?
5. **How Do I Handle Disobedience?**: When I recognize sin in my life, do I confess it and seek to turn away from it, or do I make excuses for my behavior?
6. **Am I Reflecting Christ in My Relationships?**:
In my interactions with others, do I embody the love, grace, and truth of Christ?
By considering these points and questions, women can strive to align their lives with God's design and avoid the pitfalls illustrated in the story of Eve.

If you were a mature believer you would say these gptchat answers while helpful are actually lacking. There's much more and deeper things to look at here to recognize and study. So you could go further in asking questions, but since all Ai has been trained not on unbiased and truth data but on a liberal dataset thus much of what you ask will return unbiblical results (with pro lgbt, CRT, social justice etc type info, and pro progressive slant), so it will have a distorted and often erroneous answer to questions, just as Satan twists truth and Scripture. And it isn't human to have the Holy Spirit for discernment and guidance as with humans. So you have to prompt it well as best as possible to point it where you are wanting it to go, meaning dont ask generalized Qs. You have to be more targetedly specific. Such as the above brackets for what direction I want it to return answers. It's hard to do as a new believer. Cuz you dont know what you don't know, thus have no idea what you should ask it to get you in the ballpark.
So, Always double check answers with a godly mature believer you can talk to on these matters, such as the Sunday School teacher, decons wives, and the women's Bible study leaders. If 13-21 you can also ask the Youth Pastor if your church has one. To ensure the answers are not in error and to get correction and have a deeper convo about it. Just make sure to schedule that time to discuss [irl, at church, over lunch, by email, by text, group chat or messenger, or a create church group on facebook where mature believers can be tagged in posts to review/answer] keeping their lifes and time in consideration. Do get discipled just don't be a pain to where you become bothersome. You can bullet list out some questions for having Ai answers reviewed first when they have time, or put on fb to ask for it to be confirmed accurate, ask what else to consider, and any of your pastors sermons, or books or commentaries the responder can recommend for further study. Don't go asking random folk in varied online forums and groups cuz many in false Christisn sects and cults infiltrate those places and sow false info in there, as puppets of Satan to decieve and confuse. Stay within your church, to ensure what you learn is within biblical orthodox truth.

You can keep asking Ai and believers for more answers to add to what it gave you, to help you further reflect on the topic such as Eve and sin in Eden, so you can align your thoughts and mindset to the more biblical worldview of truth. This topic is nearly inexhaustive 😅🥲.
==
A few things we have to remember about AI, whether today or tomorrow. It is not human, does not have the Holy Spirit, and is only as “good” as how it is programmed and what it is “fed" in prompts. And with those who control it, & those trust in it today... may result in believing falsehoods tomorrow. Because, like today, many will not fact check it with the Bible, because that is the whole reason they run to it instead of studying themselves now. This isn’t a bash of AI, just a reality we need to remember. [Even as I type this, Apple’s AI is autocorrecting words and replacing them with ones that make no sense in the context🤷♂️🤓]
==
On the study topic, the Questions and points Ai made are not really the direction I would've gone with it in its results info & discussion. Other believers wouldn't have either. You can likewise [on study topic] ask the mature in the Word ones at church yourself, without mentioning these things here and you'll see what I mean. In fact, I encourage you to.
Though to be fair, Eve is a huge can of worms and the topic could fill a Woman's study Bible and a many commentary volumes. After all, we are in this mess today and the whole Bible as well as Salvation and all the mysteries and things to learn in Scripture about Sin is due to Eve and Adams sin. But we can see right off in the beginning what we as women need to be mindful of and overcome to live victoriously in holiness.
I would also ask your Sunday School teacher, the womans Bible Study leader, the Decons and their wives, and godly mature women in church, and any mentors you have there, what other questions should I consider as a woman to think about regarding Eve's sin, God's design & role for women and a Christians way of thinking on the topic. You'll end up with more and good Qs that Ai can't present since it is not a human that can see these things from a biblical worldview. It is a tool, but saved people are a resource of wealth and depth, who can better provide useful insight and things to consider.
Take a look at the woman's study Bible and see what it reveals about Eve in Eden, how we should guard against those sins and sinful mindsets, and see if you can find other questions related to ask Ai that would be sort of similar to the above so that you can get a bit more out of Ai before presenting your discussion/questions and ask for review of Ai content you got from studying it. It will help you have a good deeper understanding in areas Ai lacks to provide.
Other suggestions are to include in the prompts things like, "include GitQuestions.org input on this topic" or "Include what John MacArthur from gty might or has said on this topic in your response", to add a bit more help.
Hope this helps.
God bless
