I asked chatGPT to assume the role of the Apostle Paul, and write a speech that he would give to a joint session of the U.S. Congress if he were to be brought back to life in 2025 and invited to speak. I told GPT to address matters pertaining to modern American politics, society, and morality, and write the speech in the voice of the Apostle Paul using his NT epistles as the foundation. The result was very interesting. Here is what I got:
Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, once appointed to the nations, now called to speak again.
Madam Speaker, Mr. President, Members of Congress,
I stand before you not as a politician, nor as one seeking favor, but as a man sent long ago to carry the message of a kingdom not made by human hands. I speak today not as a flatterer of nations, but as one entrusted with truth—truth that cannot be silenced by time or culture, nor reshaped by the desires of men.
People say you shouldn’t demonize your political opponents, such as calling them “evil.” That may have been true when the differences in the two parties were mainly related to economics and foreign policy. Indeed, it would be foolish to demonize those who have a different tax policy than we do. But today, far more separates the two parties than economics and foreign policy. Each party has taken sides on major moral issues. Moral issues pertain to good and evil, and thus a party should be considered good or evil depending on what moral issues it is advancing. If one party is consistently using its power to advance moral issues that are evil, then it follows that we should consider the party itself to be evil (and by extension, the office-holders and candidates representing that party).
