It's nuts to me that I can't tell if this is an AI response or not. I feel like 80% sure this is a robot.

Jesus said in John 18:37, "For this I was born, and for this I came into the world, to bear witness to the truth. Every one who is of the truth hears my voice."

Only those who are of the truth can receive the truth, which is the voice of God. What is it to be "of the truth"? To be of the truth is to be birthed by the truth. It is to be born again by the truth.

Looking at their post history, I think they're being sincere here and this is not AI generated.

Indeed. You can still find some of my blog articles which I had posted on Hacker News available on archive.org.

I'm repurposing Pen.el into a software Bible because I believe that more important than software transparency and software freedom is developing software to keep the Bible holy and set-apart for God's purpose. My Dad told me Pen.el sounds a bit like Peniel (which means 'Face of God'), so I have made Genesis 32:30 display on startup. I want to build software to keep the Bible holy.

You can see a preview here:

    Genesis 32:30

    So Jacob named the place Peniel, for he said,
    “I have seen God face to face, yet my life has
    been preserved.”

This is the moment I got born-again (born of Spirit / born of Truth):

As you can see from the date on that blog article, Jesus saved me on 2 April 2022, daylight savings. 2 April also happened to be Palm Sunday in 2023, which is the day that Jesus triumpantly entered Jerusalem.

On 3 May 2022 I confessed (out of body, to the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Truth):

- My God is the God of Truth (Psalm 31)

- Jesus Christ Saved me from lies

- The Holy Spirit is my comforter

Once again, this was documented here: - http://web.archive.org/web/20220503030344/https://mullikine....

Jesus is in me forever through the Holy Spirit. I don't have to go anywhere to find Him. He found me. He is the one keeping me alive. To embrace Him is to embrace God Himself. He is God Almighty. Without the Holy Spirit we would not be able to obey the LORD. He is the one who also washes us. The Holy Spirit is doing the washing.

I've made mistakes as I was barely ready after being born again to get thrust into spiritual battle, but I want the remainder of my time on Earth to honour Him.

- John 3:16 - For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.

- Hebrews 4:12 - For the word of God is living and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, even penetrating as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart.

- How to make a heart holy: By the blood of Jesus Christ and the Word of God in your heart.

Truth is a person, Jesus Christ, and Jesus Christ is the Word of God Almighty, and is God Almighty.

Jesus can save anyone! I pray that anyone reading this will be blessed by God!

Though I'm not a particularly religious person myself, I have to say this is commendable work. Your passion and conviction for both this project and your beliefs is very evident. I'm comforted seeing people able to balance the provable logics of science against the blind faiths sometimes asked of religion. Thankfully it seems to be a slowly growing trend.
