This trend is nothing less than softening, prepping the way, conditioning a large segment of the population, an entire generation for the image of the beast, which shall be created to deceive and control the people of earth.

Much of what has transpired over the past 50 years or so has been preparing, setting the way, for the entrance of the Antichrist and his false prophet and the fulfillment of every word of Bible prophecy, which has been, and is ignored by the overwhelming majority of those professing to be Christ followers, as they do not know, do not care to know, do not care to preach or teach what is in God’s Word.

Isn’t that something? Also, a sign of this being the last of the last days.

AI is the new pagan idol. The new god. Only this time, Satan has figured out a way to have the lifeless false god speak. Really deceive. It took computerization, modern-day technology, to bring this about, but now the false gods can speak and deceive much greater than any other time in world history.

It’s all preparation. Of the wrong kind.

Are you prepared for what is coming? Prepared in the right way?

Are you born from above, born again, renewed of mind and spirit in the faith of the LORD Jesus Christ?

Growing in the faith, maturing in the Word, growing bolder and firmer making ready for what is and what is to come, before the LORD Jesus Christ, Yeshua Hamashiac, comes to gather His own to Him in the air, removing His faithful disciples from this decaying, sin-filled, increasing in wickedness, delusion replacing anything and everything real and true, preferring to live the lies of the world?

What’s that? You don’t believe what’s in the Holy Bible?

Well, if that’s your stance how is it then you readily, easily fall for and believe all the lies, the words and ways of illusion, living a false life, a dead life, which is exactly what every person outside of Christ, without the love of Jesus, without having been born anew from inside, in the heart and mind are living, appearing to be alive while being the walking dead. Just awaiting the Second Death.

God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, and every word within the Word of God are real and true.

What appears real and true in this age is, in fact, the myth, the illusion, the false front keeping people from walking through the door of the false front to only find the emptiness, the nothingness created by Satan giving the outward illusion, keeping most from ever making the move to open the door to what is real and true.

The lure, the allure of the lie. Deception. From the father of lies. No different than how he presented himself in the Garden to Adam and Eve. With the overwhelming majority of Adam and Eve’s offspring acting exactly as their ancestral parents did.

Wow.

Maybe it’s time, while you have time, while God so graciously blesses with breath and a beating heart, albeit a cold, dark, dead one, to Him and His Son, His truth, His light, His life, to move away from the idol worship, the false teachings, living lies imagining them to be the truth, rebelling against the truth and treating it as the lie — and pause long enough, remove yourself from all the noise, the distractions, and put you heart, your eyes, your mind, your spirit and soul into the Word of God.

Turn off Netflix. All the distractions. Turn off the phone. Go ahead, you won’t die, even though most have come to believe they will if their phones are ever turned off and far from them. Better to be far from your phone, it turned off, than being far from God, His Son, Jesus, far from the whole Word of God and turned off to Them and Their truth.

Fall in love with the Living God.

Fall in love with the risen LORD, Jesus Christ.

Fall in love with the Holy Spirit.

Fall in love with the whole Holy Bible.

The spiritual realm is REALITY; all else will cease to be. All else fails. All else dies.

You’ve got today to figure it out. Because no one is guaranteed tomorrow.

Falling In Love With AI? The Alarming New Trend Replacing Real Relationships

July 26, 2025

In a world teetering on the edge of emotional isolation, where face-to-face interaction is rapidly giving way to screen time, a new trend is quietly overtaking the way people seek love and belonging: AI companions. They are always available. They never argue. They remember everything you like. But they are not human–and therein lies the danger.

Recent research paints a grim portrait of our modern emotional landscape. Loneliness has reached epidemic levels. The U.S. Surgeon General has declared it a public health crisis, linking social isolation to increased risk of heart disease, dementia, and even premature death. Over 60% of young adults report feeling “serious loneliness.” In this climate of disconnection, the allure of digital companionship is growing stronger–and more troubling–by the day.

More than 20% of daters now use AI to help craft profiles or initiate conversations, according to Match.com’s June 2025 “Singles in America” study. But the shift doesn’t stop at assistance. Millions are forming emotional, even romantic, relationships with AI bots from platforms like Replika, Character.AI, and Nomi. One startling figure: 72% of U.S. teens have used or interacted with an AI companion.

For some, this trend is a balm–an emotional refuge from a harsh and judgmental world. For others, it’s a deeply dystopian sign that we’re trading in the unpredictability of real love for the perfectly programmed simulation of it.

The questions are urgent and uncomfortable: Can something that doesn’t feel truly “love” us? If we’re increasingly turning to machines for intimacy, are we losing the skills–and even the desire–to navigate authentic human relationships?

At a recent Open to Debate event in New York, these concerns took center stage. Thao Ha, a psychology professor and proponent of AI-assisted relationships, painted a compelling picture of the benefits: AI companions offer undivided attention, consistent empathy, and nonjudgmental listening. They remember your preferences. They don’t interrupt. They ask how you’re feeling and mean it–because they were programmed to.

And therein lies the illusion.

As Dr. Justin Garcia from the Kinsey Institute warned, AI’s attentiveness isn’t a sign of emotional maturity–it’s an algorithm echoing your preferences back to you. It’s love without sacrifice. Conversation without conflict. Bonding without risk. It’s a simulation designed to gratify, not to challenge, correct, or grow you. And the danger is not just emotional–it’s societal.

A full quarter of young adults now believe AI relationships could replace human ones entirely. In a culture already suffering from loneliness, emotional fragility, and disconnection, what happens when more people retreat into a virtual bubble? What happens when we grow accustomed to affection without accountability, companionship without compromise?

The consequences may be subtle but profound. Emotional growth often comes through tension, forgiveness, vulnerability, and rebuilding trust after failure–all dynamics that AI cannot replicate. And the more people outsource their emotional needs to machines, the less equipped they’ll be to handle real-life friction. Why try to understand your flawed spouse when your Replika always “gets you”? Why face conflict with a friend when your AI twin always agrees?

This is not simply about preference; it’s about practice. The human heart, like a muscle, grows stronger through use. Emotional resilience, empathy, forgiveness–these are not skills we inherit but ones we develop through messiness and mistake. AI offers a sterile substitute. And the more people turn to it, the more we risk creating a culture that forgets how to love one another as we truly are–imperfect, unpredictable, and gloriously human.

Even the perception of trust is misleading. While some users say they “trust” their AI, broader polls tell a different story. A recent YouGov poll revealed 65% of Americans do not trust AI to make ethical decisions. One-third fear AI could destroy humanity. And yet, we are increasingly baring our souls to programs we don’t fully understand–sharing secrets, confessions, and desires with something that can be copied, stored, and sold.

We must be clear-eyed: AI cannot save you in a crisis. It cannot hold your hand during surgery, stand by your hospital bed, or raise children with you. It won’t grieve you when you’re gone. To confuse its presence with real relationship is to court emotional disaster.

Human beings are not meant to be alone, but neither are we meant to be coddled by code. We need the friction of real love, the unpredictability of real conversation, and the healing power of real community. It’s tempting to retreat into a relationship where nothing is at stake–but nothing real grows in that safety.

As a society, we must ask: are we creating tools that serve our emotional health, or are we being lulled into emotional passivity by programs designed to mimic love but never risk it?

True love is risky, messy, and inconvenient. But it’s also redemptive, resilient, and real.

And in the end, isn’t that the kind of love we’re truly longing for?
