Dear Editor in Chief,

A scholar asked: “Could science and technology really do something to check health
problems on example too thin or too fat-extreme?” The A.I. answered: “Perhaps science
and technology could now do something to check extreme especially on health problems
example about being fat. Perhaps other use artificial tightening device being done
through surgery so that food intake inside the stomach is artificially tightened. Perhaps
other use balloon inside the stomach so that the stomach is always full and to discourage
people to eat much. And there are many more especially being advertised in TV and in
the internet. But perhaps the most practical way is thru self-discipline and thru fasting
and meditation and will power to do counter measures on those extremes and perhaps the
solution which is the cheapest is using common sense and will power-don’t eat too
much.”
A scholar recalled that the A.I. suggested using cell phone about letting people attend
religious rites or meeting or to let inactive members be active again; and asked: Is cell
phone really a practical way to encourage inactive members to be active again? The A.I.
answered: “Cell phone technology is impractical especially on checking attendance in
religious group. Perhaps using ID could be better on letting members of a religious group
become active again and not just be massed produced or inactive; or just like other good
groups which let their majority members be active by using ID. And beside the ID could
be used as for gathering data and statistics to arrive on new measures to lessen
inactiveness or being just a mass produced or just half cooked member of a group
especially if the group becomes the majority or dominant group. Because if majority of
the people becomes inactive members of a religious group, those inactive majority
becomes susceptible to deception especially making self prescription on disciplining their
bad habits like touching idols, too much dependency on ‘miracles’. And if leaders of that
group don’t do much to let its majority members be active again, those leaders perhaps
are guilty of deceiving people; and it could be the key or the mark…”
A scholar asked: “could there be one driver to lead people on globalization especially
on economics?” Too much consumerism is also bad for others especially some countries
are “too addicted” to the fossil oil of other countries. Perhaps there must be a point where
imbalanced could be balanced; perhaps it is where when both taking and giving or the
seller and the buyer are having the most benefits that they should have.
A scholar asked: “Could joke become a rumor because somebody has long tongue or
expert in gossiping?” The A.I. answered: “Yes, some people are very evil. He is expert in
letting jokes in a private house spread to other neighbors as not a joke but something very
serious and very evil because for self-interest, selfishness, position, property, money,
obsession and credit; or for just plain destroying people. He is expert in destroying people
because of position, property, and money; or it is in his blood to let a simple joke or slip
of the tongue become very evil perhaps because in his mind he lacks other essentials
words that would remind him of bad things. His tongue has full of deadly poison like a
snake with long tongue.
A scholar asked: Do the souls of animals die but soul of human live forever?” The A.I.
answered: “According to some religious groups, the soul of animal dies while the soul of
human lives forever even if the flesh or body of human dies. But other culture or other
people’s beliefs don’t believe on soul living forever. The soul dies too when his physical
body dies but their good deeds and contributions would live forever. But sometimes their
‘little bad deed/s’ could be blown up and become very big because of ‘deadly poison’
because of hatred, position, money, credit and obsession.
A scholar who has some interest on religion asked: “Where in the bible that: a) Simon
Magus lifted in the air imitating also Jesus’ resurrection… as I saw on a program in TV;
perhaps the lifting… is derived from other gospels different from the traditional four
gospels…, b) Peter used sword…, c) other people that does not belong to Jesus’ group….,
d) Peter denied Jesus three times, e) Paul discouraged superiority…, f) Jesus uttered word
‘you snakes…’, g) Paul rebuked Peter or Peter is not a totalitarian or not infallible or not
dictator…, h) Jesus died and resurrected, i) Jesus taught: ‘love of enemies’, j) Paul
taught: ‘….always considering others better than yourselves’, k) Paul taught: ‘something
about a liar- especially if one does not love his brother’, l) that word “rock” was
mentioned… ?”
Then the A.I. answered…: “for question a), I could not search a scenario where Simon
Magus lifted in the air…but Simon Magus is mentioned on Acts 8:18-25: “…May you
(Simon Magus) and your money go to hell, for thinking that you can buy God’s gift with
money....” For question b), Peter used sword is mentioned on John 18:3-12: “…Simon
Peter, who had a sword, drew it and struck the high priest’s slave, cutting off his right
ear….” For… c), ‘other group… ’ is mentioned on Mark 9:38-41: “…Teacher, we saw a
man who was driving out demons in your name, and we told him to stop, because he
doesn’t belong to our group.” “Do not try to stop him,” Jesus told them, “because no one
who performs miracle in my name will be soon afterward to say evil things about me…”
For…d), Peter denied Jesus three times is mentioned on Matthew 26:71-75: “…again
Peter denied it and answered, “I swear that I don’t know that man…” For… e), Paul
discourages superiority…is mentioned on I Corinthians 4: “…none of you should be
proud of one person and despise another. Who made you superior to others? Didn’t God
give you everything you have? Well, then, how can you boast, as if what you were not a
gift? …” For… f), Jesus uttered word ‘You snakes…” is mentioned Matthew 23:29-36:
“… So you actually admit that you are the descendants of those who murdered the
prophets! Go on, then, and finish up what your ancestors started! You snakes and sons of
snakes! How do you expect to escape from being condemned to hell? …” For… g), Paul
rebuked Peter (Peter perhaps is not infallible) is mentioned on Galatians 2: 1-20: “…But
when Peter came to Antioch, I (Paul) opposed him (Peter) in Public, because he (Peter)
was clearly wrong. … ” For… h), Jesus died and resurrected is also mentioned on
Matthew 28:1-8: “… Go quickly now, and tell his disciples, ‘He has been raised from
death, and now he is going to Galilee ahead of you; there you will see him….” For…i),
Jesus taught love of enemies is mentioned on Luke 6:27-36: “…But I tell you who hear
me: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, and
pray for those who mistreat you. …” For…j), Teaching ‘always considering others
better than yourselves’ is mentioned on Philippians 2:1-11: “…Don’t do anything from
selfish ambition or from a cheap desire to boast, but be humble toward one another,
always considering others better than yourselves. And look out for one another’s interests
not just for your own. …” For… k), ‘liar’ is also mentioned on 1John4:15-21: “…If
someone says he loves God, but hates his brother, he is a liar. For he cannot love God,
whom he has not seen, if he does not love his brother, whom he has seen. …” For… l),
“rock” was also mentioned on Matthew 16: 13-27: “…And so I tell you, Peter: you are a
rock, and on this rock foundation I will build my church, and not even death will ever be
able to overcome it. …”
A scholar who has some interest on religion asked: “Where can you find in the bible
that explains soul of human could still live after death if raised and soul of animal
perhaps should die? The A.I. answered: Perhaps it could be found on 1Corinthians 14:
25-39. “…And the flesh of living beings is not all the same kind of flesh; human beings
have one kind of flesh, animals another, birds another, and fish another. …”
A scholar asked about agreement and asked: “Where can you find in the bible that
explains about agreement?” The A.I. answered: “Perhaps a good example about
“agreement” could be found on Galatians 3:15-20: “…My brothers, I am going to use an
everyday example: when two people agree on a matter and sign an agreement, no one can
break it or add anything to it. …”
A scholar asked: Should a person be obligated to be baptized in a group that insists it is
the “only” true and right group and “only” thru it one could be saved?” The A.I.
answered: Perhaps if the word obligation would be searched to defend only true right
group perhaps Roman 13: 8 could explain something…: “Be under obligation to no one-
the only obligation you have is to love one another. Whoever does this has obeyed the
law.
A scholar asked: “Where did you get the idea that wearing “shine shoes and using ties”
could let the mind be sensitive to orderliness and beauty and could create economic cycle
or could let the mind be always doing something to prepare him to be sensitive to small
chaos or small disorderliness?” The A.I. answered: “Perhaps words in Luke 12:35 could
be some good words that could tame the hard headed mind to be really always be dressed
for action: “Be ready for whatever comes, dressed for action and with your lamps lit, like
servants who are waiting for their master to come back from a wedding feast.”
A scholar asked: “I noticed that your remark about bowing or kneeling to a group’s
leader as something that should be noticed… which for others it is just a sign of respect
or their traditional way of showing respect to a leader. What words could support you that
your remarks are really have no malice?” The A.I. answered: “Perhaps words in Acts
10:24 could defend my previous comments or opinions: “…As Peter was about to go in,
Cornelius met him, fell at his feet, and bowed down before him. But Peter made him rise,
“Stand up,” he said, “I myself am only a man. …”.”
