Spiritual or Artificial Intelligence?

You may be wondering what is this new term - Spiritual Intelligence?

In Mark 12:30, Jesus instructs us to love the Lord our God with all our heart, soul, mind and strength. This commandment is fundamental to our faith and challenges us to love God with all our being. While our heart represents our emotions desires and passions, our soul is the essence of who we are, our life force and our spiritual center. 

And then comes the mind. Loving God with our mind means using our intellect to know and understand Him better. We study the Bible and learn about His character His promises and His ways. We also use our minds to gain more knowledge of Him and apply that knowledge in our daily life. And this is where Spiritual Intelligence comes in.

Today we are not going to define Spiritual intelligence in general, but we are going to create a Christian framework for it. It is a mindset and is important for us to be able to delve into the Word of our Lord to understand and apply it to our lives. 

Spiritual Intelligence is the combination of the soul and the mind, working together to understand God and His word and apply it with meaning, purpose, and values, to our lives. It goes beyond intellectual intelligence (IQ) and emotional intelligence (EQ) by integrating a Biblical sense of awareness, ethics, and inner wisdom. Hence, we have the Word (Bible) from where we gain wisdom and information; we have the soul which processes that information to gain deeper understanding and finally we have the mind which captures that information and applies it to our lives. It is Spiritual Intelligence which helps us to make ethical decisions in our personal and professional lives, creating a Biblical Integrity in ourselves. 

While the exact term "spiritual intelligence" may not be explicitly mentioned in the Bible, it does emphasize divine wisdom, discernment, and applying spiritual insights to life.

Therefore, when we read the Word, we need to apply our spiritual intelligence to understand the word and apply it to our lives. Unfortunately, many of us today depend on external sources for wisdom - using sources like Artificial intelligence. People, including Christians use it to understand or interpret the Bible and even preach, producing a soulless, heart less and mindless understanding and message. This kind of knowledge and understanding can be dangerous, giving reality to Christs warning in Matthew 7:15.

Therefore, we would urge our readers today to kindly NOT use Gemini, Co-pilot or any other AI tool during the course of our learnings, except as a research or historical data tool and to further fact check it against the Bible. If it is not there, it may be false. 

Instead, we will use our heart, emotions, human logic and human feelings as we study the word of God. We will also pray for the Holy Spirit to open our minds as we read and learn.
