Hey guys, it's B Rob, and it is the Food for Thought Faith Cast. We want to thank you once again, FaithCast fam, for tuning in. Today, January 29th. It is Thursday and it is cold outside, but the sun is shining, and God gave us another day, so hallelujah for that. The verse of the day today is 1 Samuel 2, verse 2, and it says, There is no one holy like the Lord. There is no one besides you. There is no rock like our God. Little history on 1 Samuel. Um Samuel's mother Hannah prayed to the Lord Almighty to give her a son, and she he gave her Samuel. And this is um basically a declaration of loyalty and truth. This verse is It's uh Hannah's prayer after God answers her and gives her Samuel. It's a very short verse, but it's packed with worship, praise, theology. Because the word holy means set apart or purely complete. You see, Hannah is saying God is in a category all by himself. No one compares to him. He's holy. No one compares in his character, power, love, justice, purity, any of those things. He is holy. He is God. He's not only holy, he's uniquely holy. Meaning that God is not just the best option. He is the own, he is in a class of his own on top of the pyramid. She's basically saying there is none but you. Everything else people trust is nothing, is less. There is no rock like our God. Do you know what a rock symbolizes? It symbolizes stability, protection, strength, and refuge. You see, Hannah had been emotionally crushed and misunderstood, but God proved to be reliable and unremovable for her. You see, God is a foundation you can build your life on. He will not shift, he will not crack, and he will not fail you. Hannah just stating facts out there. She's not only stating facts, she's testifying. She is telling her testimony. Remember, a testimony is God's story. You might be the main character, but it's God's story. That's the difference between a biography and a testimony. A biography is your story. A testimony is a story of how God used you, so it's his story. That's why they call it history. You see, see, she is testifying from her experience. God is holy. God has a perfect character. God is unique. There is no one like him. There is no one that does what he does. And God is a rock. He is dependable in suffering and in victory. You see, there is no one like God. No one. Keep that in mind as you walk through your week this week. Keep that in mind as your thoughts cloud your vision today. Keep in mind that God loves you. Guys, I'm that was the short Bible verse for today, but we're gonna do something I've always been intrigued with. And um the many names of uh Jesus, and I want to do something. A lot of people, a lot of people think AI is the devil, which that could be the case, right? A lot of people thought social media was the devil when it started back around 2006, 2008, somewhere around there. But as you see, the good people, the children of God, hijacked it for good to spread the truth. That's why so many of us got banned. So I'm not gonna embrace AI, I'm not gonna let AI uh uh skew my thought process. I'm not gonna sit here and have a conversation with it. I may try to make it contradict itself, but I like to hear and see what AI says. Now, this platform is called Poe. So, what Poe does is it takes a bunch of different AI platforms and you can compare them. So I've done, let's see what I've actually been intrigued because there are many different names of Jesus. And a lot of different people that I know say many different things. And some people even say the name Jesus is pagan. So I want to see what AI says about that conversation, or even if it'll have that conversation, and I want to do it live right here, so this is what we're gonna do. Is uh we sorry I had to hit my little nicotine vape, um, quit smoking back in October, but uh I do the nicotine vape every now and again. Especially in the morning with coffee. Okay, so I in Poe I'm typing in, let's see. What are the many names of Jesus? Is the name Jesus actually pagan? So let's look, let's see what it says. The assistant comes back and says, the names and titles of Jesus reflect various aspects of his identity and mission. Here are some of the many names attributed to Jesus. So number one, it says Jesus, the name derived from Hebrew name Yeshua, meaning Yahweh saves. Okay, I didn't know that. So a lot of people call, yeah, they I even say Yeshua or Yeshua. Um I didn't know it meant Yahweh saves. That makes total sense because that's God comes down and saves. Yeah, in a human form. Amazing, awesome. Second is Christ, which is derived from the Greek Christos, Christos meaning the anointed one. Okay, all right. Third one, the Messiah, Hebrew term for anointed one, often associated with expected deliver in Jewish tradition. Fourth one, Lord, title indicating authority or divinity. Um five, savior, significant, his role in salvation, okay. Six, son of God, emphasizing his divine sonship, makes sense. Seven, son of man, a title emphasizing his humanity and connection to humanity, makes total sense. Uh eight, Emmanuel, meaning God, with a significant significant signifying his incarnation. Okay. Nine, Lamb of God representing his sacrificial role. 10, King of kings indicating his sovereignty over all rulers, and 11, rabbi meaning teacher. Okay, nice. Is the name Jesus pagan? The name Jesus itself is not pagan. It has its roots in the Hebrew and Aramaic. Here's the breakdown. Etymology, uh Jesus comes from Latin Jesus, which is based on the Greek Lesus. Itself derived from the Hebrew name Yahshua, the name Yeshua was common among the Jews in the first century. Okay, cool. So culture adoption, while some names and elements in Christianity have been influenced by various cultures, as seen in certain traditions and practices, the name Jesus specifically is rooted in Jewish tradition and does not have pagan origins. Okay, cool. So I had Deep Sea Compare and it wrote me a book. Let me tell you. I mean, it just goes in, it talks about the user is asking about the names of Jesus itself. Let me start by breaking down the questions. First, I need a list of various names, titles. Jesus found in the Bible, names like Emmanuel Christ, Messiah, Son of God, come to mind. I should categorize them into personal names, titles. And they do the thing. And it and it says the next pagan origin part. It says, I remember there's a common misconception about the name Jesus being derived from Zeus. I need to address that. The Hebrew root is Yeshua, which comes from Yahushua, Joshua. Then Greek, it came from Lesus, and later Latin Jesus, which evolved into Jesus in English. Explaining the linguistic tradition transition step by step will show you there's no connection to Zeus. Okay, well that's that's cool. That's something cool to know. If it's true, we'll see. Um and it just goes on and goes on. It says the many names of Jesus, Jesus Christ, Lord, Son of God, Son of Man. It even gives biblical, like this deep seat gives biblical reference. That's pretty cool. And keep in mind, guys, AI basically is just searching the internet and the brains of all the information they've collected from you and everybody else over the past uh 20 years. So you saying, oh, I'm anti this, that, and the other, they've got your information anyway. I'm not saying embrace it spiritually, no. But I'm saying use it as a tool, you know. They use bronze until steel came along back in those days. It's no different. Okay? So don't be sitting there judging me because I am picking brains, is basically what I'm doing. I'm just picking artificial brains, which are made up of real brains. Information. The information from real brains, if that makes sense. But it goes on, I mean, it goes on to even say Emmanuel, meaning God with us, Word, meaning he was the Word who became flesh, the Word of God who became flesh, Lamb of God, Savior, King of Kings, Alpha and Omega, Good Shepherd, Light of the World, Bread of Life, Resurrection and the Life, Way, Truth and the Life, High Priest, Rock, Cornerstone, Bridge, Bridegroom. So it goes on to name 19 different names. It even gives a table for quick reference. Jesus, Yahweh, is the Savior, that's Matthew 121. Christ, anointed one, Matthew 16, 16, Lord, divine, authority, sovereign, that's Romans 10.9. This is good stuff. It gives you the all 20 of them. It even says uh the pagan Jesus thing, I'm gonna debunk the myth for you right now. Know the name Jesus is not pagan. And it goes on to say it's original Hebrew Aramaic, which we were talking about, Yeshua. It was a shortened form of Yahushua, meaning Yahweh is the Savior, Joshua in the Old Testament. So um Greek, we went over that. Zooth myth connection, we went over that. That's this is good good stuff. I'm on it's free, so we're gonna use it to compare some other things. But that's the thing, guys, is uh you can compare research. There are platforms, and it's no different than Google and something. But Google is very not good. So it's it's better to use a platform like this that uses different um all the different AIs that a lot of people, it's maybe not in the mainstream, but this uses Chat GPT, Grok, everything. I mean it's it's it's really neat, actually. Um but it has no spirit and you use it particularly for what it is, so don't sit there and have a human conversation with it. Use it for what it is. I mean, everybody's seen the movie Star Wars, you know. Those robots had feelings, but they were used for what they what they what their specialty was. C3PO was a linguist. He knew like every language. R2D2 was just a little utility bot. He had a fix for everything. You see what I'm saying? So it's it's not demonic until you let it open its so-called dark side programming, dark web programming. You can use it for your advantage. You know, I remember when I was a kid when you wanted to research something, you had to spend all day in the library reading encyclopedias and going through these uh little lens things that you could view that made them larger, but they were little cards, history, um newspapers, old newspapers and stuff were on these, and you could go look them up by date. And um that was the interesting thing about being a kid without the internet, is it was like a treasure hunt. Kids, kids do these things today or a scavenger hunt. You know? But that was an everyday thing if you were into reading and researching in our libraries. Now I don't even know why they have libraries, because you can get any book, you can get any book on PDF, you can pretty much get it on the internet, and a lot of times you don't have to pay for it. Which has its advantages and it also has its disadvantages. It's hard to make money as an artist or an author. So, guys, uh hope you had some fun today. It's almost about 20 minutes in, so we're going to jump off. I have another interview at 11:30 with another company. Please keep me in your prayers financially, spiritually, I'm doing great. Physically, I feel fine. I lost a bunch of weight, so I'm doing good. We're gonna work out, put some muscle on, eat good, and pray every day and keep God at the forefront of everything in our lives. And that's what we're gonna do. And guys, just praise God even when you stub your toe, which means symbolically, praise God in the storm, praise God in the valley after the storm, and praise God in the beautiful, beautiful, beautiful times as well. I love you, God loves you, and if you guys do not have a relationship with Jesus Christ, Yeshua, you better get right.
