I just watched a video of a dog dancing. Not just a puppy wagging its tail and kind of shuffling, either. A
dog on two feet doing difficult dance moves. I was amazed…he was pretty good. Of course, the dog
wasn’t really dancing. It was an Artificial Intelligence generated video. It was cute, though, and thanks
to that technology, I’ve watched babies singing, animals talking, and pigs flying. But, folks, it looked so
real!
Those types of videos have taken over social media, it seems. Unfortunately, other “doctored” videos
flood the internet; many times, causing anger and confusion. Politics and religion have become fodder
for the people who put together these types of videos. And another downside to the quality of the
videos is that people can do and say stupid stuff and later claim it was AI generated. We honestly don’t
know who and what to trust, do we?
I’ve heard people say that there is no proof that Jesus performed miracles, such as healing a blind man
or walking on the water. That there is no proof He was murdered on the cross yet rose back to life a
short time later. But those same folks would dismiss an actual video, if one existed. So, I choose to
believe eyewitnesses…wouldn’t you?
When the writers of the Gospels say that they saw, with their own eyes, those miracles, I believe them. I
like what John said: “That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen
with our eyes, which we have looked at and our hands have touched—this we proclaim concerning the
Word of life.” (1 John 1:1 NIV). They didn’t see it on Facebook, Instagram, or X. They experienced it in
real life in real time. So, yes, I chstick to the Bibleoose to believe them.
While I do get quite a kick from watching dogs dance and politicians backpedal previous statements, I’ll
stick to the Bible, God’s Word, as my source of truth. I’ll let it teach me good from evil, right from
wrong, and instruct me how to treat people. I believe it many times over than what I see and hear
online.
Say good things about your Savior and His church
