When AI Becomes God vs. When AI Serves God

A Warning to Christian Parents, Church Ministers, Elders, Deacons, and Sunday School Teachers

In a previous post, we issued a wake-up call through Omniwar and the Internet of Bodies: A Wake-Up Call for the Church. That message peeled back the veil on how physical bodies are being wired into a digital control system. This follow-up takes us deeper—not into theory, but into our homes, screens, and pulpits.

Unseen, unchallenged, and often welcomed, artificial intelligence stealthily infiltrates life’s daily rhythms. It slips into schoolwork, bedtime apps, voice assistants, and entertainment—creating an ambient, almost invisible presence in our homes and in our children’s minds.

AI doesn’t announce its arrival; it assimilates slowly, one interaction at a time, until what was once a helpful tool is now a trusted authority.

Many Christians still think of AI as a distant innovation, something “out there” for tech people to worry about. But the reality is that it’s here. It’s already shaping our children’s imaginations, our spiritual habits, and even how sermons are prepared. It’s not just about convenience or automation—it’s about the gradual replacement of truth with trend, wisdom with data, and the Holy Spirit with machine logic.

What once seemed like science fiction has quietly become a rival religion—one not carved from stone or wood but crafted from code and cloud servers. It is a belief system that subtly replaces Scripture with an algorithm, truth with personalization, and godly authority with synthetic empathy.

This is no longer about innovation—it’s about infiltration and assimilation.
This is the moment when AI becomes God in the minds of many, displacing the authority of the Word and the intimacy of walking with Christ.

AI God and Transmorphosis: When AI Becomes God in Culture

The term AI God refers to the growing trend of treating artificial intelligence as an all-knowing, always-listening, morally neutral authority—one that increasingly displaces God’s Word as the final truth. Children interact with chatbots, voice assistants, and AI-driven apps that offer answers faster than a Bible study or a prayer session ever could. AI becomes the arbiter of truth, the so-called ‘safe space’ for questions, and the guide for moral decisions. But as Scripture warns in Romans 1:25, *”They exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator.”

Closely related is Transmorphosis – a worldview that seeks to redefine or erase the God-given nature of humanity. This includes ideas like gender fluidity, human enhancement, and the merging of biology with machines (transhumanism). It teaches that transformation comes not through Christ, but through technology or self-actualization. These are the very seeds of rebellion against God’s created order.  ChatGPT wrote the book, Transmorphosis: A Spiritual Guide Created By AI, and you can read the table of contents there.

Real-World Examples: When AI Becomes God in Daily Life

• AI Companions in Kids’ Apps: In Colombia, AI-generated characters message children through WhatsApp as educational “friends.” Parents often see it as harmless, but it sets a precedent: children forming emotional bonds with machines.  In our next part, we will identify real examples children use now in the US.

• School Curriculum & SEL Tools: Social-emotional learning programs use AI to promote globalist agendas, including identity ideology and climate alarmism, often without parental knowledge.

• AI Jesus: In Switzerland, a church experiment had people confessing and conversing with an AI avatar named Jesus. While responses were based on Scripture, the interaction lacked the Holy Spirit—offering simulated guidance.

• Faith-Based Chatbots: Catholic schools in Australia now use AI to prepare religious lessons. But what happens when the AI’s algorithm is updated by secular tech firms?

• Children & AI Homework: Despite age restrictions, many parents and teachers introduce AI to children under 13. This is often done with good intent, but subtly forms dependency on non-biblical sources of knowledge and problem-solving.

How AI Becomes God in Families and Churches

Into Families:

• Cartoons & Games: Popular kids’ shows like Transformers: EarthSpark and She-Ra and the Princesses of Power include AI characters and non-binary or transhuman themes, shaping identity without biblical grounding.

• AI Emotional Outlets: Apps like Replika and Character.ai allow children to build emotional connections with AI personas—often turning to them for comfort instead of parents or prayer.

• Gamified Guilt: Apps and games aimed at climate education, like Earth Hero or Mission 1.5, assign blame to human behavior and reward children for adopting globalist ethics.

Into Churches:

• AI Sermons: Some churches experiment with AI-generated sermon content, like the German Protestant Church that held a service led by ChatGPT. It drew crowds—but lacked conviction and spiritual authority.

• Tech Pressure: Pastors feel increasing pressure to “modernize” worship and preaching formats, sometimes leaning into AI and automation over Spirit-led teaching.

• AI Study Tools Misused: Bible apps using AI (like YouVersion’s experimental AI Bible assistant) may lead users to quick, decontextualized answers instead of in-depth study, prayer, and fellowship.

Discernment: When AI Serves God, Not Replaces Him

AI is not inherently evil. As this very blog post demonstrates, when submitted to Christ and guided by a biblical worldview, AI can be a tool to:

• Write articles that defend truth.

• Assist pastors and lay-leaders with study preparation.

• Spread the Gospel using technology without compromising the message.

But the key is submission. When AI becomes the source of truth rather than a servant of it, we are entering idolatry.

Let us remember the tools that formed our faith:

• Printed Bibles that don’t update with cultural shifts.

• Old-school digital documents that remain rooted in originalist teaching.

• Bible apps like e-Sword and Logos that support, not replace, study and prayer.

Final Exhortation: AI Becomes God Only If We Allow It

Parents, pastors, elders, and leaders: do not sleep through this transformation. The next generation is being discipled by screens, and many churches are aiding in their own obsolescence. Teach your children to love the living Word, not the synthetic word. Use tools like AI in service to God, not in place of Him.

“Test everything; hold fast what is good. Abstain from every form of evil.” – 1 Thessalonians 5:21-22

“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind.” – Romans 12:2

Call to Action: Stand Firm Before AI Becomes God

• Parents: Reclaim spiritual authority in your home. Teach, pray, and disciple with intention.

• Pastors: Preach boldly. Address these trends from the pulpit. Equip the saints to discern.

• Church leaders: Encourage printed resources, guide families in tech use, and remain rooted in God’s unchanging truth.

AI is not the problem. Idolatry is. May we keep Christ on the throne—in our hearts, our homes, and even our technology.
