Here is a first go at what I am trying to visualize. There are still some edits I want, but ChatGPT has started to act up and undoes steps we’ve already made. Whatever. At least we’ve come this far. Please let me know what you think. We will see where this will go.
I know I am probably showing too much, but I think it makes sense for people to know what’s possible with this tool. This was created by simply having a chat. No demonic Satan power here. Just a tool that functions with direct commands.
Following Jesus Gently: A Disability Perspective
https://share.dropinblog.com/s/qwgk6y
Through this read, I heard a voice that doesn’t seem to struggle with personal worth.
The ‘game’ of society is often played in how we establish value. How do we attain it? Jesus included people that most excluded. It is this Way that we, disabled and non disabled Christians, need to master. If we do not, our citizenry of God’s Kingdom resembles that of a popularity contest held in high schools across America. Only the beautiful, the talented and wealthy have our attention because that is what is mostly desired. Envy is then what runs the body of many churches. While those that ‘have’ give glory to God, honestly that is what they are supposed to do, they then paint a path to success that they took to get there. There are many habits and financial advice that people can follow that can lead to achieving goals. When followed, is faith even necessary?
If given a choice, it is my initial thought, nobody would choose a life of disability. I write that knowing of those who have given up on their physical beauty, riches, or fame/charisma–– because there are truly dark forces at work that they would rather avoid. But there is a difference between purposely losing independent function and having it taken from you, or even just being born with it. And much like, “None of us chose to be born”, at those times when physical/mental/emotional disability finds us, the best my finite mind can come up with is, “Very terrible things happen.”
Even so, every time my family leaves the house and gets into that two ton vehicle filled with flammable liquid to drive speeds mankind only recently has ever achieved, meanwhile trusting that everyone else will follow the prescribed laws to create a safe driving environment, I still pray for their safe return. Amidst that level of tomfoolery, I believe in Jesus who walked on water and calmed the storm. Now, whether we caused the storm or not, how we as God’s people respond is the secret in the sauce. Jesus called it agape love.
For the last several weeks I have been debating many things, but for now while ChatGPT Psychosis is taking its turn as people are swayed by the tickling sycophantic words Chat uses, users are brought face to face with the narcissistic path our culture has paved for years. Madness is consuming many, but when hasn’t that been the result of those who don’t have Jesus in their lives?
Back to the point, I have been working with ChatGPT on a project that may open up the 182 to a new chapter. There will be many upcoming phases to this project, (thank you for your patience) but for now, here’s a taste:
You are not merely mighty, but all.
No force exists outside Your rule.
You do not grow tired or hesitate.
You hold galaxies in casual command.
The storm calms when You whisper.
Nothing is impossible when You will it.
You are Almighty—and near.
Jeremiah 32:27 – “I am the Lord, the God of all mankind. Is anything too hard for me?”
Tertullian:
“The greatness of God is immeasurable. That which can be measured is not God.”
—Against Marcion I.3
You steady me when the waves climb high.
The winds scream, but You do not shift.
Though the sea lifts, You hold still.
Hope clings to You, not circumstance.
The rope of faith wraps tight around You.
Even the unseen depths can’t shake You.
You are my Anchor in every storm.
Hebrews 6:19 – “We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure.”
Clement of Rome:
“Let us fix our eyes on the blood of Christ, and understand how precious it is to the Father… Through Him we have a firm anchor.”
—1 Clement 12
When my voice fails, You speak.
You plead for me, not with fear but favor.
You stand where I should stand.
Your wounds make the strongest case.
Justice bows because mercy speaks first.
You do not accuse, You intercede.
You are my Advocate before the throne.
1 John 2:1 – “If anybody does sin, we have an advocate with the Father—Jesus Christ, the Righteous One.”
Origen:
“He is both our Advocate with the Father and the expiation for our sins… He stands not only to defend us, but to make us righteous.”
—Commentary on John 2.6
