We Asked an A.I. Chatbot to Write an Article on “Why Joel Osteen is a Heretic”

This image was created entirely by A.I. almost instantly, for this article

In what may be the world’s first discernment article written by artificial intelligence, we present to you this offering by ChatGPT, a bleeding-edge chatbot that was introduced to the public earlier this week that can formulate scripts, give facts, spit out code, write jokes, explain technical concepts, and write essays.

Created by OpenAI, the same makers of the Dall-E AI image generator that we’ve used on this site previously, it is far more technically advanced than anything previously released. 

We asked it to write an article about why Joel Osteen is a heretic and are pleasantly surprised at the results, including the use of scriptures. 

“Joel Osteen, pastor of Lakewood Church in Houston, Texas, has been labeled a heretic by many due to his teachings and beliefs. Here are a few reasons why:

  1. Osteen has been criticized for his prosperity gospel, which teaches that God wants to bless believers with material wealth and success. This contradicts the fundamental Christian belief that earthly possessions are fleeting and that true wealth is found in God and his kingdom.
  2. Osteen has been accused of downplaying the importance of sin and the need for repentance. In his sermons and teachings, he often focuses on the positive and encourages believers to focus on their blessings rather than their shortcomings. This goes against the Bible, which clearly states that all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23) and that repentance is necessary for salvation (Luke 13:3).
  3. Osteen has been criticized for his lack of emphasis on doctrine and theology. In his books and teachings, he often focuses on self-help and motivational themes, rather than deep theological concepts. This has led some to accuse him of being more of a motivational speaker than a pastor.
  4. Osteen has been accused of being a false teacher, leading people astray with his unorthodox teachings. In Matthew 7:15, Jesus warns of false prophets who come in sheep’s clothing but are really wolves in disguise. Osteen’s teachings, which deviate from traditional Christian doctrine, could be seen as fitting this description.

In conclusion, Joel Osteen’s teachings and beliefs have caused many to label him a heretic. His prosperity gospel, downplaying of sin and repentance, lack of emphasis on doctrine and theology, and potential status as a false teacher all contribute to this label.”

ChatGPT knows Joel Osteen better than the vast majority of Christians. We asked the same question another way and received a similar response.

“Joel Osteen is a popular televangelist and the senior pastor of Lakewood Church in Houston, Texas. However, many critics have labeled him a heretic due to his teachings, which they argue deviate from traditional Christian beliefs.

One of the main reasons why Osteen has been accused of being a heretic is his emphasis on the prosperity gospel. This is the belief that God wants to bless believers with material wealth and good health, as long as they have enough faith. This teaching goes against the traditional Christian belief that earthly possessions are fleeting and ultimately unimportant, and that true riches come from a relationship with God.

Osteen has also been criticized for his lack of emphasis on sin and repentance. In his sermons, he often focuses on the positive aspects of Christianity, such as the power of faith and the importance of being a good person. However, he rarely talks about the need for believers to confess their sins and turn away from their old, sinful ways. This is a fundamental aspect of the Christian faith, and many argue that by neglecting it, Osteen is leading people astray.

Furthermore, Osteen has been criticized for his lack of knowledge about the Bible and basic Christian theology. In one infamous incident, he was unable to answer a simple question about the doctrine of the trinity on national television. This lack of knowledge and understanding has raised concerns among many Christians who believe that Osteen is not qualified to be a pastor. (Editor’s Note. Good callback)

In conclusion, Joel Osteen has been accused of being a heretic due to his emphasis on the prosperity gospel, his lack of emphasis on sin and repentance, and his lack of knowledge about the Bible and basic Christian theology. These teachings and beliefs deviate from traditional Christian doctrine and have led many to question his qualifications as a pastor.”

  1. That’s amazing. Seeing AI produce something like this lends credence to Elon Musk’s stated belief that AI is one of the most dangerous threats to mankind today. He is genuinely afraid of it.

  2. Yes. I find this rather astounding. Even a non-sentient being can see Osteen’s heresy. The implications for the future with AI are of great concern, however
