AI Can’t Write a Bible. Here’s Why.

Biblical Man

Jan 21, 2026

Yuval Noah Harari stood on a World Economic Forum stage and said something that made the crowd smile and nod.

“AI can write a new Bible.”

He wasn’t joking.

He said AI could create “religions that are actually correct.”

The globalist crowd loved it.

The tech bros clapped.

The spiritually dead cheered.

And I sat there thinking:

This man has never once had Scripture read him back.

Let me tell you something.

I used to open my Bible like a textbook.

Looking for answers.

Looking for ammunition.

Looking for a verse to win arguments.

I treated it like a vending machine.

Insert effort.

Receive wisdom.

But something was wrong.

The words sat flat on the page.

Dead letters. Empty doctrine.

I could quote Romans.

But I couldn’t feel Romans.

I was reading Scripture.

But Scripture wasn’t reading me.

That’s the difference Harari will never understand.

Here’s what the elite intellectuals miss:

The Bible isn’t an information delivery system.

It’s not a moral code generator.

It’s not a religious operating manual.

It’s alive.

“For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.”

— Hebrews 4:12 (KJV)

Read that again.

The Word discerns your thoughts.

Your intents.

Your hidden motives.

AI can process language.

It cannot pierce your soul.

The moment my Bible reading changed wasn’t when I got smarter.

It was when I got hungry.

Starving, actually.

I stopped skimming for facts and started sitting with God.

I stopped reading at the Bible and started letting the Bible read into me.

And it found things.

Dark things.

Pride I called discernment.

Bitterness I called boundaries.

Fear I called wisdom.

No algorithm can do that.

No large language model can expose the rot in your heart.

No silicon prophet can make you weep over your sin at 2 AM.

That’s the work of the Holy Spirit.

And He doesn’t run on servers.

Here’s what Harari doesn’t understand about humans:

You are not just a body.

You are not just a spirit.

You are body, spirit, and soul.

The body? Outside forces can influence that. Drugs. Disease. Environment.

The spirit? Outside forces can mess with that too. Demons. Deception. False teaching.

But the soul?

The soul belongs to God alone.

“And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.”

— Matthew 10:28 (KJV)

AI can reach your body through screens.

Demons can attack your spirit through lies.

But your soul?

That’s God’s territory.

And He speaks to it through His Word.

Let me give you something practical.

Leviticus 2:1–6 describes something called the Meat Offering.

Most people skip right past it.

Boring Old Testament stuff, right?

Wrong.

The Meat Offering is a blueprint for spiritual growth.

Three ingredients.

Fine flour — the pure Word of God. Ground down. Refined. No lumps. Not your favorite preacher’s paraphrase. Not a podcast summary. The actual text, studied and absorbed.

Oil — the Holy Spirit. You can’t understand Scripture without Him. He illuminates the text and applies it to your life.

Frankincense — prayer. The aroma that rises to God. Bible reading without prayer is just academics. Prayer without Bible reading is just emotion.

Fine flour. Oil. Frankincense.

Word. Spirit. Prayer.

That’s the recipe.

And that’s what AI cannot replicate.

The Bible isn’t described as just one kind of nourishment.

It’s described as many.

Milk — for new believers (1 Peter 2:2)

Bread — daily sustenance (Matthew 4:4)

Meat — deeper doctrine (Hebrews 5:12–14)

Fruit — life-giving refreshment (Proverbs 18:21)

Honey — sweetness to the soul (Psalm 119:103)

AI can generate words.

It cannot generate nourishment.

You can’t feed your soul on synthetic Scripture.

You can’t grow strong on machine-made mantras.

A counterfeit Bible would be like artificial honey.

It might look similar.

It might taste familiar.

But it cannot sustain life.

Here’s the hard truth most believers never hear:

Personal Bible study is your primary ministry.

Not church attendance.

Not small groups.

Not even serving.

Your number one job as a believer is to get alone with God and His Word.

Every single day.

“Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.”

— 2 Timothy 2:15 (KJV)

Notice: approved unto God.

Not approved unto your pastor.

Not approved unto your denomination.

Not approved unto your favorite theologian on YouTube.

God.

When you sit with your Bible and let the Spirit teach you, something happens no conference, no course, no AI-generated devotional can replicate:

You hear from God directly.

So why don’t believers tremble at Harari’s words?

Because we’ve sat with the real thing.

We’ve had mornings where one verse wrecked our whole week.

We’ve had nights where Psalms were the only thing between us and despair.

We’ve watched Scripture predict things, reveal things, heal things no human author could’ve orchestrated.

I’m not threatened by AI-generated religion.

I’m not afraid of synthetic Scripture.

I’m not worried about machine-made messiahs.

Because I know what the real Word does.

It cuts.

It heals.

It transforms.

It reads you back.

Your move.

Stop outsourcing your Bible study.

Stop letting podcasts chew your food for you.

Stop waiting for Sunday to hear from God.

Open the Book.

Sit with the Spirit.

Let the Word read you.

Fine flour. Oil. Frankincense.

Word. Spirit. Prayer.

Start tomorrow morning.

Fifteen minutes.

Just you, your Bible, and God.

And when some elite intellectual tells you AI can write a new Bible, you’ll know the truth:

A machine can generate text.

Only God can generate transformation.

Harari can keep his synthetic scriptures.

I’ll take the one that’s been reading my soul for years.

The world is building fake gods.

We’re still serving the real One.
