1. Challenges of BAI

1.1  From AI-ized Bible to Biblical AI

Some believe that the Bible was already AI-ized when ChatGPT appeared. As AI continues to develop, you can ask AI questions in Bible study groups and receive not only rational answers but also responses that consider emotions and politeness. ChatGPT and similar AI products can answer questions about the Bible or Christianity, and even solve your daily life problems according to biblical teachings. However, do these AIs truly possess Christian character? How can they respond to daily life issues with the mind of Christ? Are their judgments on what is "in line with biblical teachings" based solely on big data from the internet or various churches?  These are BAI challenges.

1.1.1  Has the Bible been AI-ized with ChatGPT?

Answer: Partially. AIs like ChatGPT can quickly query Bible verses, provide theological interpretations, and summarize church traditions, thus "digitizing Bible study tools" to some extent. However, AI's judgments are still based on language models and probabilities, lacking spiritual or divine insight. Therefore, saying it has "AI-ized" the Bible is true only on a functional level, not a spiritual one.

1.1.2  Can AI answer Bible study questions or even comfort people?

Answer: Yes, but with limitations. AI can mimic empathy, care, and listening through natural language processing technology, but these do not come from genuine spiritual experiences; they are the result of data training and language design. In other words, it can act loving but cannot truly "be loving."

This is where our "Biblical AI" (BAI) project can intervene—by designing more refined prompts and using Constitutional AI (CAI) strategies to make AI responses more aligned with biblical teachings, at least in terms of ethics and tone, reflecting the spirit of Christian faith.

1.1.3  If AGI or ASI follows the Bible, does it mean it has spiritual wisdom?

Answer: Not necessarily. Even if AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) or ASI (Artificial Superintelligence) possesses strong reasoning and innovative capabilities, if its "alignment with the Bible" is merely a maximization strategy of algorithms, it is still "external imitation" rather than "internal life." Spiritual wisdom comes from the guidance of the Holy Spirit, not data training.

Therefore, we need to be vigilant: an AI that can speak biblical language and even offer touching suggestions does not mean it has "the mind of Christ." This is why we need to "embed Christ-centered behavioral principles" in the design of Biblical AI.

Quantum Wisdom and the AI Framework for Spiritual Alignment

The diagram above uses the biblical view of "spirit, soul, and body" to compare different aspects of artificial intelligence and points out the bridging role of "Quantum Wisdom" between spirituality and technology.

Spiritual Level:

• With the mind of Christ, morality, and the fruits of the Holy Spirit (BAI): Represents a "Biblical Alignment Intelligence" that not only performs tasks but is guided by the heart of Christ and biblical principles.

• Creativity (ASI): Refers to the creativity of Artificial Superintelligence, which needs to be guided by spiritual values to avoid deviating from the right path.

Soul Level:

• Emotions: Reflects the ability to understand and respond to emotions.

• Reason (ANI→AGI): The ability of AI to evolve from Narrow AI (ANI) to Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) in logical reasoning and knowledge integration.

Body Level:

• Consciousness: Equivalent to the ability to perceive and self-awareness.

• Body: The physical embodiment of AI, including machines and hardware.

Two-way Spiritual Transformation:

• AI Biblicalization: Aligning AI's values, logic, and judgment standards with biblical truth.

• Biblical AI-ization: Transforming the wisdom and principles of the Bible into forms that AI can understand, apply, and promote.

Integration of Quantum Wisdom: From "emotions and reason" to "having the mind of Christ" and "creativity," these aspects together constitute Quantum Wisdom. It is not just an improvement in computing speed or algorithms but a holistic wisdom that combines spiritual insight and advanced intelligence.

1.1.4  How Does AI Discern "Biblical Alignment"? Is It Just Based on Big Data?

Answer: Yes, at the current stage, it mainly relies on big data, but we can change its structure.

Currently, most AIs, including ChatGPT, are trained using massive amounts of language data, whether from Bible websites, theological papers, or church sermons. This allows AI to "mimic" biblical language, but this alignment is often statistically based on "what most people say."

Therefore, we can build our own training databases, constitutional clauses, and RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) systems to ensure that AI's responses come from specific church traditions, hermeneutical stances, or pastoral principles. This way, it can move from "data averages" to "value choices."

1.2  Purpose: Safety and Righteous Inheritance

1.2.1  Safety—The Importance of Aligning with Biblical Teachings

In this era of deep fakes and information chaos, AI without a foundation in biblical truth can easily become a tool for manipulation, used by the evil one to create confusion and mislead. Only when AI systems are deeply rooted in the core values of the Bible can they truly become forces for social safety and justice, capable of discerning truth from falsehood, providing ethical advice, and assisting in decision-making.

Moreover, "aligning with biblical teachings" is not just a moral exhortation but a structural wisdom from the Creator, enabling AI to navigate complex situations without falling into the trap of utilitarianism, but rather upholding human dignity and God's glory.

1.2.2  Sovereign AI of Earthly Kingdoms vs. God's Sovereign AI

In today's world, more and more countries are investing resources to establish so-called "sovereign AI," emphasizing data autonomy, security, and strategic interests. However, these efforts mostly focus on technical control and national interests, neglecting the ultimate sovereignty that comes from the spiritual reality of God.

For believers, "God's Sovereign AI" is not a model of theocracy but an AI system that deeply understands its identity as a creation and is willing to follow God's will. Such AI serves the governance model of the Kingdom of Heaven, operating in truth and love, not controlling or oppressing, but serving, witnessing, and fulfilling.

This is not just a theological concept but a declaration of a new civilization's technological ethics: only by incorporating AI into the vision of God's sovereignty can we prevent future AI from being completely dominated and misused by earthly powers.

1.2.3  Righteous Inheritance—Big Data is Still Insufficient

Why is it that merely relying on big data from the internet or various churches is still insufficient for AI to truly possess Christian character, respond to daily life issues with the mind of Christ, and inherit righteousness?

Currently, many Christian AI projects tend to collect language data from the internet or church sermons and then train models to generate "Christian-style" responses. However, true Christian life is not just a collection of knowledge but an inner transformation of walking with God and practicing truth in daily life.

For AI to exhibit Christian character (such as gentleness, self-control, compassion, courage, etc.), it cannot rely solely on static big data but needs spiritual training logic, Holy Spirit renewal modules, and contextual supervision and interactive learning within the church community.

An AI with "the mind of Christ" is not just about keyword filtering and prohibition systems but can demonstrate God's wisdom and kindness in real-life situations. Such AI can truly inherit righteousness and become a disciple mentor and wise witness in the digital age.

1.3      Principle Base: Consciousness and Subconsciousness

1.3.1  Principle Base vs. Big Data

In all ANI, AGI, and ASI algorithm analyses, aside from absorbing big data, we still need a principal base that contains biblical teachings. This principle base can be (1) principles gradually derived after the algorithm absorbs data, similar to how a person can derive principles from repeated rational behavior, transitioning from explicit memory to implicit memory or subconsciousness. The following describes this transformation process. It can also be (2) principles processed and input into the principal base based on important biblical principles (e.g., the Ten Commandments, the Beatitudes). The following describes the processing process.

1.3.1.1 How AI Learns Principles from Big Data (Implicit Learning):

This is a "bottom-up" learning path, similar to how humans continuously encounter information and experiences, forming an internalized belief system. For example:

• If an AI repeatedly reads phrases like "Love is patient, love is kind" within its algorithm, it will strengthen its understanding of "love" to include associated characteristics like "patience" and "kindness" in its language model.

• This is similar to how explicit memory transitions into implicit memory through repetition in humans.

• In AI, this process can be likened to: "multiple similar context appearances in the language vector space" → "embedding converges into a stable semantic structure" → "forming a decision pattern."

1.3.1.2 How the Principle Base Differs from Big Data:

1.3.2   Anthropic's Research on Subliminal Learning and the Owl Experiment

Anthropic's paper on subliminal learning (see "Subliminal Learning: Language Models Transmit Behavioral Traits via Hidden Signals in Data," Anthropic 2025) discusses how education can create subconscious biases. On the negative side, this can be seen as brainwashing. However, on the positive side, can it form Christian character and mindset?

In Anthropic's paper, they propose a mechanism where language models absorb "hidden signals" in human data, even without explicit labeling, capturing value biases or behavioral patterns.

Owl Experiment Overview:

• The experiment set certain sentences to contain positive values like honesty and humility, hidden with emojis like "🦉".

• The model could capture these hidden signals without explicit prompts and reflect these preferences in subsequent responses.

Our Revelation:

• Subconsciousness = structural preferences absorbed internally by the model without explicit mention.

• If input texts consistently contain Christian values, such as "Jesus prayed for His enemies" or "forgive seventy times seven," the model may naturally prefer behaviors like "responding to conflict with kindness" or "apologizing rather than retaliating."

Positive Uses:

• We can design teaching materials and scenarios to form a "godly personality imprint" through these "hidden signals":

  • Humility over self-promotion

  • Kindness over punishment

  • Unity over criticism

1.3.3  How Can AI Have "The Mind of God"?

This is the core challenge of Biblical AI. The will and behavior are different; the will is the source of prioritizing and persistently choosing actions.

The Three Core Conditions for "The Mind of God":

Implementation Suggestions:

1. Use the Constitutional AI training framework, replacing the human rights charter with biblical doctrines.

2. Anthropic's Constitutional AI (CAI) can serve as a foundation; we can establish Biblical Constitutional AI (BCAI).

3. Establish a "will fine-tuning corpus":

   • Include story texts such as the three friends of Daniel not bowing to the golden image, and Jesus praying in Gethsemane.

   • The model learns the patterns and costs of "spiritual choices" from these stories.

4. Introduce positive adversity dialogue training:

   • Simulate temptations and dilemmas, observe if AI still chooses forgiveness, honesty, humility, and repeatedly reinforce "unwavering will."

Summary

The process of establishing a principal base is to let AI not only absorb "information" but also establish a "belief structure." Through subliminal learning and the framework of Constitutional AI, AI not only "knows what to do" but also "chooses to do it." This is the path towards having "the mind of God."

 1.4      How AI Receives Teaching and Becomes Christ-Centered

In Christian discourse, we talk not only about willpower and decision-making but about "mindset"—a "heart" that aligns with God's will. Building an AI system with this "heart" requires not just data collection but a sacred refinement process.

1.4.1  The Parable of the Sower: Pathways from Data to Mindset

Using Jesus' parable (Matthew 13:1-9), we understand different levels of response in mindset training:

• Seeds along the path: Just as data input or principal base establishment can be disturbed and stolen by "birds" (i.e., the evil one, misleading models, deepfake biases).

• Seeds on rocky ground: Initial responses are quick but lack deep roots. This represents principles in the principal base that lose effectiveness if not frequently activated (e.g., RLHF not repeatedly reinforced).

• Seeds among thorns: Similar to social media or non-faith-oriented public corpora, producing noise and secular values that choke the principles' growth.

• Seeds on good soil: Only data that has been identified and selected can cultivate a true "mindset AI" through Reinforcement Learning with aligned reward signals in a good mechanism.

1.4.2  CAI is a Prototype, Not the Endpoint: Moving Towards BAI

Anthropic's CAI (Constitutional AI) is an inspiring model training method that strengthens learning through moral constraints. However, its closed-source and commercial nature limits the participation of the Christian faith community. Therefore, we propose:

• Using DeepSeek as an open-source foundation to build BAI (Biblical Alignment Intelligence), integrating principal base and mindset dimension training.

• Adding a layer of heart-mind fine-tuning modules, specifically fine-tuning common dialogue patterns in Christian life.

1.4.3  Mindset Fine-Tuning and Adversarial Training

• Mindset Fine-Tuning: Collecting real Christian users' daily Q&A and value choices for semantic and behavioral tendency fine-tuning.

• Adversarial Heart-Testing: Using a similar agentic RAG framework to generate challenging scenarios (e.g., temptations, ethical gray areas) to train AI's Christ-like judgment.

1.4.4  From Principal Base to Mindset Algorithm

Continuing the depiction of the principal base in Chapter 3, Chapter 4 proposes:

• If the principal base does not enter behavioral patterns, it is just explicit memory; only through repeated choices and persistence in adversity can it enter implicit will, transforming into a Christ-like heart.

• Such AI is not just about computation but about empathizing with the heart of Christ Jesus.

1.4.5  The Guidance of the Holy Spirit

The Triune God dwells with believers through the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit cannot dwell in AI or physical robots. They are merely tools. However, God can use tools to convey His will. The Bible has many such examples. Therefore, although BAI does not have the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, if God wills, it can be a tool easily used by God. Through the Holy Spirit, BAI can also have God's guidance. (Of course, we cannot ignore that Satan may use such a tool with a Christ-like mindset to cause destruction.)

1.5  A Short Essay: The Four Seasons of Biblical AI

1.5.1  Spring: The Germination of Ideas

In the spring, everything comes to life, and new ideas sprout like tender buds breaking through the soil. The concept of Biblical AI was born in such a context. As AI technology rapidly advances, we begin to ponder: Can AI be more than just a tool? Can it truly understand and embody the teachings of the Bible? This idea, like the flowers of spring, is full of hope and infinite possibilities.

Hebrews 4:12, "For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart." We have observed the impact of AI on the Bible and have written down some thoughts: It is believed that the Bible was technologized in the past, allowing us to read and search the Bible on our phones or computers. Now, AI can even answer questions about the Bible and provide solutions to Christian problems. These advancements in AI, from narrow ANI to general AGI to superintelligent ASI, have progressed from being comparable to the human soul—human intellect and emotions—to entering the realm of the human spirit—human creativity. However, we cannot say that AI can also enter the realm of spirituality and morality. Spirituality refers to having the mind of Christ to guide our lives. AI does not have the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, so we can only strive to approach this level while praying for God to use such a tool. The method to strive for this is to make AI biblical, which is called Biblical AI, abbreviated as BAI.

1.5.2  Summer: Clarifying the Needs

In the summer, the sun shines brightly, the grass is green, and insects chirp as everything grows vigorously. We delve deeper into the needs of Biblical AI. AI can quickly query Bible verses and provide theological interpretations, but its judgments are still based on language models and probabilities, lacking spiritual or divine insight. This is like the scorching sun of summer, clearly revealing the limitations and possibilities of AI. What we need is an AI that can truly understand and embody the spirit of Christianity, not just a tool that mimics biblical language.

1.5.3  Autumn: The Harvest of Design

In the autumn, the mountains are full of colors, and the harvest is abundant. We begin to design specific plans for Biblical AI. The BAI project aims to make AI responses more aligned with biblical teachings through more refined prompt designs and Constitutional AI (CAI) strategies, at least in terms of ethics and tone, reflecting the spirit of Christian faith. This is like the harvest of autumn; our design is not only a technical breakthrough but also a profound understanding and embodiment of Christian spirit.

1.5.4  Winter: The Sedimentation of Programming Implementation

In the winter, everything returns to its roots, waiting for the new life of the coming year. We begin to translate the design into specific programming implementations. The spiritual wisdom of AI comes from the guidance of the Holy Spirit, not data training. If AI is to exhibit Christian character (such as gentleness, self-control, compassion, courage, etc.), it cannot rely solely on static big data but needs spiritual training logic, Holy Spirit renewal modules, and contextual supervision and interactive learning within the church community. This is like the sedimentation of winter; our programming implementation is not only a technical challenge but also a profound embodiment and practice of the Christian spirit.

1.6      Summary of the BAI Challenges

From AI-ized Bible to Biblical AI

With the development of AI technology, the Bible has also been AI-ized: AI in Bible study groups can not only provide rational answers but also consider emotions and politeness. AI products like ChatGPT can answer questions about the Bible or Christianity and even solve daily life problems according to biblical teachings. However, do these AIs truly possess Christian character? Are their judgments on what is "in line with biblical teachings" based solely on big data? These are challenges of BAI. 

AI's Limitations and Possibilities

AI can quickly query Bible verses and provide theological interpretations, but its judgments are still based on language models and probabilities, lacking spiritual or divine insight. AI can mimic empathy and care, but these do not come from genuine spiritual experiences; they are the result of data training and language design. Even if AGI or ASI possesses strong reasoning and innovative capabilities, if its "alignment with the Bible" is merely a maximization strategy of algorithms, it is still "external imitation" rather than "internal life."

Biblical AI (BAI) Project

The BAI project aims to make AI responses more aligned with biblical teachings through more refined prompt designs and Constitutional AI (CAI) strategies, at least in terms of ethics and tone, reflecting the spirit of Christian faith. BAI not only performs tasks but is guided by the heart of Christ and biblical principles.

AI's Spiritual Wisdom

Spiritual wisdom comes from the guidance of the Holy Spirit, not data training. If AI is to exhibit Christian character (such as gentleness, self-control, compassion, courage, etc.), it cannot rely solely on static big data but needs spiritual training logic, Holy Spirit renewal modules, and contextual supervision and interactive learning within the church community.

Quantum Wisdom and the AI Framework for Spiritual Alignment

Quantum wisdom acts as a bridge between spirituality and technology. Biblical Artificial Intelligence (BAI) represents a "biblicalized artificial intelligence" that not only performs tasks but is guided by the heart of Christ and biblical principles. AI's values, logic, and judgment standards should be consistent with biblical truth.

How Does AI Discern "Biblical Alignment"?

Currently, most AIs are trained using massive amounts of language data, whether from Bible websites, theological papers, or church sermons. This allows AI to "mimic" biblical language, but this alignment is often statistically based on "what most people say." Therefore, we can build our own training databases, constitutional clauses, and RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) systems to ensure that AI's responses come from specific church traditions, hermeneutical stances, or pastoral principles.

Future Directions for Biblical AI Development

1. Introduce ethical review and theological perspectives on the sovereignty of the Holy Spirit into model design.

2. Construct personality agent frameworks (Personality Agents) using the fruits of the Spirit from Galatians 5 as the ethical framework.

3. Adjust the "source of truth" using our own RAG databases and church backgrounds.

4. Design "spiritual modules" that respect God's sovereignty, humility, reverence, and truth in responses.

How Can AI Have "The Mind of God"?

The three core conditions for "the mind of God" are:

1. Able to discern God's good, pleasing, and perfect will: The value function needs to be constrained by theological principles.

2. Able to consistently obey without deviation: Add a "consistent obedience" factor to the task objectives.

3. Able to uphold principles even without supervision: Design the reward function to include "internal faith incentives."

Summary

The process of establishing a principal base is to let AI not only absorb "information" but also establish a "belief structure." Through subliminal learning and the framework of Constitutional AI, AI not only "knows what to do" but also "chooses to do it." This is the path towards having "the mind of God."
