【069】今日灵粮 Spiritual FOOD TODAY：AI 对教会和信仰的影响 The Impact of AI on the Church and Faith

Note: Last Sharing and Break for Volunteering Income Tax Preparation in Spring & Summer 【069】今日灵粮 Spiritual FOOD TODAY：从相关的圣经视角探讨人工智能对教会和信仰的影响 Exploring the Impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on the Church and Faith from a Relevant Biblical Perspective

【SCRIPTURE 经文】：无论做甚麽，或说话或行事，都要奉主耶稣的名，藉着他感谢父神; And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. (歌罗西书 Colossians 3:7)

【SHARING 分享】:《今日灵粮 Spiritual FOOD TODAY》中分享的经文是歌罗西书 3:7。无论人工智能（AI）对教会事工、个人布道以及教会和信仰产生何种影响，我们都必须始终牢记，首先要跟随基督所差遣、住在我们里面的圣灵，祂引领我们走上通往最终救恩的正确道路。这节经文教导信徒和基督的追随者要效法耶稣的品格，在生活的方方面面 —— 行为、言语和人际关系 —— 荣耀神，并以感恩之心行事。

人工智能（AI）正在深刻地影响着教会的运作和个人的信仰。它既是一种变革性的工具，也引发了关于真实性、教义和人际互动等方面的伦理问题。据报道，到 2025 年，45% 的教会领袖将使用人工智能来处理行政事务、内容创作，以及在较小程度上用于讲道。

许多圣经学者解释并承认，人工智能（AI）既是一项强大的工具，也是一项备受争议的工具，其在效率、教育以及（当然）灵性指导等方面的应用引发了复杂的伦理问题。虽然许多教会领袖接受人工智能用于行政管理和内容创作，但人们仍然担忧它对教会的真实性、教义、人际关系、牧养行为和神学准确性的影响。

让我们进一步探讨人工智能如何帮助教会事工，并促进个人信仰和灵性成长。(1) 它提高了事工效率；据报道，超过 60% 的教会领袖使用人工智能处理每周任务，例如生成简报、制作图表和撰写电子邮件，从而让他们有更多时间专注于以人为本的事工。 (2) 人工智能有助于提高圣经学习的可及性和有效性；它可以协助将圣经翻译成新的语言，提供个性化的灵修指导，在某些情况下，甚至可以提供 “人工智能驱动的牧养指导” 。（3）人工智能还可以辅助讲道预备，许多牧师将其用作 “研究助理服务” 。

事实上，人工智能可以生成，有时甚至会自信地宣扬虚假或异端的信息。例如，据报道，一篇由人工智能生成的讲道稿就捏造了一位哲学家的引言。肤浅的信仰—— 过度依赖人工智能寻求答案 —— 会削弱个人研读圣经和建立信仰的努力。尽管教会越来越多地使用人工智能，但许多圣经学者和牧师仍然不满意。超过一半的美国基督徒表示，如果他们得知自己的教会使用人工智能撰写讲道稿或进行牧养关怀，他们会感到失望。简而言之，人工智能是教会中一个 “新兴领域”，它既为传福音提供了机遇，也对维护信仰中至关重要的人性和关系要素提出了挑战。让我们谨记，不要放弃敬拜的真诚和真理，也不要放弃对信仰真谛的探寻。正如使徒约翰在约翰福音 4:23 中劝诫的那样： “时候将到，现在就是了，那真正拜父的，要用心灵和诚实拜他，因为父要这样的人拜他。” 

The scripture shared in《今日灵粮 Spiritual FOOD TODAY》is Colossians 3:7. Regardless of the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on church ministry, personal evangelism, and the church and faith, we must always remember to first follow the Holy Spirit, sent by Christ and dwelling within us, who leads us on the right path to ultimate salvation. This verse teaches believers and followers of Christ to imitate the character of Jesus, glorifying God and acting with gratitude in all aspects of life — behavior, speech, and relationships.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is profoundly impacting church operations and individual faith. It is both a transformative tool and raises ethical questions regarding authenticity, doctrine, and interpersonal relationships. It is reported that by 2025, 45% of church leaders will use AI for administrative tasks, content creation, and, to a lesser extent, preaching.

Many biblical scholars explain and acknowledge that AI is both a powerful and controversial tool, raising complex ethical issues regarding its application in areas such as efficiency, education, and (of course) spiritual guidance. While many church leaders accept AI for administration and content creation, concerns remain about its impact on church authenticity, doctrine, interpersonal relationships, pastoral care, and theological accuracy.

Let us further explore how AI can help church ministry and foster personal faith and spiritual growth. (1) It improves ministry efficiency; over 60% of church leaders reportedly use AI for weekly tasks such as generating briefings, creating charts, and composing emails, allowing them more time to focus on human-centered ministry. (2) AI helps improve the accessibility and effectiveness of Bible study; it can assist in translating the Bible into new languages, provide personalized devotional guidance, and in some cases, even offer “AI-driven pastoral guidance.” (3) AI can also assist in preaching preparation, with many pastors using it as a “research assistant service.”

Indeed, artificial intelligence can generate, and sometimes even confidently proclaim, false or heretical information. For example, one AI-generated sermon reportedly fabricated a philosopher's quote. Superficial faith — over-reliance on AI for answers — undermines the personal effort of studying the Bible and building faith. Despite the increasing use of AI in churches, many Bible scholars and pastors remain dissatisfied. More than half of American Christians say they would be disappointed if they learned their church used AI to write sermons or conduct pastoral care. In short, AI is an “emerging field” in the church that presents both opportunities for evangelism and challenges to maintaining the vital human and relational elements of faith. Let us remember not to abandon the sincerity and truth of worship, nor the search for the true meaning of faith. As the Apostle John admonished in John 4:23, “The hour is coming, and is now, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for the Father is seeking such worshipers.”
