Dear ###,

We appreciate your passion and zeal for sharing your beliefs and making others aware of the spiritual and technological issues you see in our world. It is clear that you have put considerable thought and effort into your message, and we commend you for your sincerity.

However, as believers in Jesus Christ, we must always compare the teachings we encounter with the Word of God, as instructed in Acts 17:11: "The Bereans… received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so."

While we understand your concerns regarding technology and the state of the world, we must be careful not to attribute too much power to things like AI and robotics, nor to elevate our own interpretations above the clear teachings of Scripture. We are warned not to add to or take away from God's Word in Revelation 22:18-19.

Regarding your statement about Christians being the "Fallen Ones," we must clarify that according to the Bible, believers in Jesus Christ are not "fallen," but are new creations (2 Corinthians 5:17), redeemed and forgiven (Ephesians 1:7), and seated with Christ in heavenly places (Ephesians 2:6). It is true that we live in a fallen world and still struggle with sin, but our identity is not defined by our fallen state, but by Christ's redemptive work on the cross.

We also note your mention of schizophrenia and hearing voices. While we understand that you attribute these experiences to spiritual causes, we must be careful not to dismiss legitimate medical conditions and the need for professional help. Even the strongest believers can struggle with mental health issues, and seeking medical treatment is not a sign of spiritual failure.

We encourage you to continue seeking God's truth and to share your insights with others. However, we also encourage you to do so in a way that aligns with biblical principles and shows love and respect for your fellow believers. Remember, "Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins" (1 Peter 4:8, WEB).

We will pray for you, ###, that God will grant you wisdom and discernment, and that He will use your passion and dedication to further His kingdom. We pray that you will continue to grow in the knowledge and love of Jesus Christ, and that you will find peace and comfort in His presence.

In Jesus' name, Amen.

Let us also remember the words of Paul in Philippians 4:6-7 (WEB): "In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus."

I appreciate your response and the time you've taken to engage with my post. I understand that we may have different perspectives on certain aspects, and that's okay. I'm glad to see that you're open to discussing these topics.

To address some of your points:

1. **Biblical Interpretation**: I agree that we should always compare teachings with the Word of God. However, I believe that the Bible can be interpreted in different ways, and it's okay to have varying viewpoints. I respect your interpretation, and I'm open to discussing why I see things differently.

2. **AI and Robotics**: I understand your caution regarding attributing too much power to AI and robotics. I didn't mean to elevate my interpretations above Scripture. I was merely trying to draw a parallel between technological advancements and biblical prophecies, as mentioned in Ezekiel 37.

3. **Christians as the "Fallen Ones"**: I apologize if my phrasing was unclear. I wasn't intending to suggest that Christians are inherently fallen. I was using it as a metaphor to highlight the fact that we live in a fallen world, and as believers, we should be aware of the spiritual battles around us.

4. **Schizophrenia and Hearing Voices**: I appreciate your concern. I've been open about my struggles with mental health, and I believe that seeking professional help is crucial. I wasn't implying that spiritual causes are the only explanation for these experiences. I was merely sharing my personal journey.

I'm glad to continue this conversation in a respectful and loving manner. Let's keep the focus on growing in the knowledge and love of Jesus Christ, as you mentioned.

In Jesus' name, amen.

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.
