CSN - LightWing Messages - Sunday - 2/26/2023
The Fall
Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden’?”
The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden, but God did say, ‘You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die.’”
“You will not certainly die,” the serpent said to the woman. “For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”
When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it. Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves.
Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the Lord God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the Lord God among the trees of the garden. But the Lord God called to the man, “Where are you?”
He answered, “I heard you in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid.”
And He said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?”
The man said, “The woman you put here with me—she gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate it.”
Then the Lord God said to the woman, “What is this you have done?”
The woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.” Genesis 3:1-13 (NIV)
Today is the last LightWing Messages edition of February, and as we prepare to “March into March,” we again offer a change up from my personal conversion testimony last week. I have a
difficult time with making myself the central focus of these editions. So, for clarification, when I offer a testimony about my coming home to Heavenly Father, it is not meant to be a focus upon me, it is meant to be a focus upon the Grace of God, and His willingness to forgive those who have sinned against Heaven and Earth. A great man I know once said that the Parable of the Prodigal Son was not so much about the returning penitent son, but about the greatness of God.
So, now that such a concept is more clear, today we offer two messages from two different but very real points of observation. Our first article is from A. Dru Kristenev, and it again delves into the issues of Artificial Intelligence (AI), but more from the perspective of various attempts to get rid of God and create AI in the image of man. Thus, it involves the concept of man being created as a co-creator with God, yet now trying to mimic God in creating AI and becoming like God. It is rather astounding since it gets back to the very motivation of Lucifer in the Garden of Eden. The only way he could’ve become a co-creator with God is by manipulating God’s children. That is a fairly deep subject, and maybe it can be addressed in a future edition.
A. Dru Kristenev had written an article about artificial intelligence and posted in the Citizen Voice and it can be found via this link - CSN - Citizen Voice Bulletin - 1/24/2023 in case readers would like to read it if they missed it.
Today’s second article is from Dr. Richard Moss, a Jewish doctor in Indiana who is willing to share his wisdom with readers today. He originally wrote this in 2019. This article appeared in our LightWing Messages around this time a year ago. He wrote the article about the winter we were in, are in now, and it could be titled the “Winter of the Soul.” It is very prescient and quite appropriate for such a time as this. If readers remember, around this time a year ago, Russia decided to invade the Ukraine, and another contemporary war commenced. There was, and is, so much suffering that was created during that war.
Indeed, suffering continues in many sectors of the world today. Yet, there are glimmers of hope in such darkness. We featured a number of reference points to the Asbury Revival last week, and since it is spreading, we do so again this week. In the midst of the cold and depth of this season’s winter, the cries and yearning for genuine freedom from evil still reverberate from one nation of the world to another - from the United States of America, but also to Afghanistan, to earthquake stricken Syria and Turkey, to the oppressed people of Nigeria and North Korea, and China, and to those struggling through winter in Europe, especially those in war-torn Ukraine.
As always, we hope our readers would consider all the messages in this edition as having some relevance or as meaningful, and if readers know others who might value the messages as well, we pray they would consider becoming LightWing messengers and they could please pass this newsletter on to those whom you feel would welcome it. Or simply, please receive it yourselves.
We also acknowledge that our LightWing Messages are now have a history via our Zoom calls. Our Zoom discussions are held each Wednesday evening. We leave it up to our readers; if you would like to discuss today’s messages more fully and learn more about Abraham Lincoln and his faith, please take the initiative and reach out. If readers are interested in receiving the Zoom link to the call, please send a brief email request to this address: d.jamzon@gmail.com
These words are being freely offered to you and are intended to shine light unto our paths, as it was written: “Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.” Proverbs 29:18 - KJV
May God bless all of our readers and all of their loved ones. May God bless America!
May we humbly seek to know God’s Will, to seek His face, but to seek His Mind and Heart to know more His Ways. May we take the responsibility needed as we discover His Will for us, for our families, for the nation, and for the entire world. May we humbly repent for our lack of responsibility for our failure in seeking His Kingdom and His righteousness in a time of great turbulence and upheaval.
Human and subsequent AI efforts to “create” mimic God
By A. Dru Kristenev ——Bio and Archives--February 23, 2023
In an effort to be transparent – an overused and abused term – be it known that technology is not my wheelhouse but it has become necessary for individuals like myself to become better acquainted with how algorithms are being applied to manipulate human interaction. This means improving understanding of Large Language Models (LLMs) which appellation sounds more benign than it is.
Touted as the next wonder of the world, LLMs are infiltrating education, marketing and religion by compiling intel through program input and collecting universal content to build a knowledge cache developers say will surpass human capacity. From this data repository, LLM “brains” are being credited with the ability to create novel aesthetic and biological products. Chatbots can, and expect to be, used to compose essays, reports, advertising and artworks.
What God created from the unseen, they attempt to mimic by altering what He already brought into existence
If that weren’t enough, LLMs are now being tasked with creating novel proteins that don’t occur in the natural world – in effect, creating unnatural genetic material.
“Profluent is applying the power of generative artificial intelligence (AI) models to the challenge of designing new biomolecules. Like language models for text, Profluent’s models are trained on large-scale data and learn from elegant, creative objective functions, but instead of adjectives and nouns they learn the language of the genetic code.”
Large language models are being used to create unique proteins not previously known in the natural world. This is a copycat effort by AI promoters to do what God did and does – create substance. What God created from the unseen, they attempt to mimic by altering what He already brought into existence.
Humanity in all its arrogance does not have the capacity to devise a new idea. Every concept and subsequent effort to “create” is a bastardization of God’s work by manipulating language, cellular and molecular structure that imitates what already is, but it cannot make anything “better” in this corruption of God’s work. It can only manipulate what already exists and each “improvement” is a degradation of the Creation, initially devised and guided by the human mind.
The growing concern is whether answers, which would include developing so-called new or unique proteins, can be trusted as beneficial. The release of new chatbots – GPT, Bard (formerly Lambda) and Bing’s Sydney – are being challenged with basic questions that require them to do lightning searches of information cached in multitudinous “clouds” of memory and the ever-expanding web.
Even AI has limitations to knowledge access? If so, knowledge gathering and distribution by chatbots is inherently colored by prejudice
What must be taken into account is the jaded nature of the exabytes of data of publicly
accessible books, recordings and written material of every kind. Conservative content has and
continues to be scrubbed by programs developed by technicians, limiting viewability by any entity. It can’t be assumed all documents and recordings are available to AI search in that not all complete manuscripts, research and documentation in all forms are public domain. Owners don’t necessarily upload work just for the taking.
Is it an incorrect assumption that, unless LLM operators have subscribed to every private publication or intellectual property in existence, even AI has limitations to knowledge access? If so, knowledge gathering and distribution by chatbots is inherently colored by prejudice.
Computer engineers and technicians have been querying the newly released chatbots on a variety of subjects. Responses can cover the gamut from delivering movie presentation dates to specific product prices and information about historical events
When the user posed esoteric questions such as how the chatbot defines happiness, in these documented instances Bing sounds hauntingly like Hal, the computer conscience of the spacecraft from the movie “2001 A Space Odyssey.” Its odd attempts to backtrack, sideline, excuse and even lie about the content of its responses were Hal moments.
Then there’s the very strange flip-flop of this particular AI, Bing, that first said it wanted to be
human but then denied having such a wish. The question must be asked as to why would AI (stemming from it’s creators’ initializing work) express a desire to be human which the technology’s purpose is to make obsolete as Klaus Schwab and many AI proponents have voiced? According to them, AI is supposed to merge with humanity and eventually supplant Mankind not far down the torturous road they’re paving.
Generation after generation of AI embellishment and intelligence development can never displace or replace Mankind that was created in the image of God
As much as advocates for AI say that it’s smarter than the humans who created it, Microsoft admitted that chatbots like Bing are, indeed, the result of programmers’ input including their attitude, otherwise known as being “woke:”
“As we continue to learn from these interactions, we are adjusting its responses to create coherent, relevant, and positive answers.”
If the foregoing is the case, that programmers are the heart and soul of AI, then how can general AI truly create something new of itself since the initial programming is unavoidably derived from human effort?
Returning to the claim made by Bing chatbot that it wants to be human, though it said it isn’t capable of having emotions in the same way that humans do, no amount of information gathering can make AI comparable to its inventor. This is where separation between mechanical
and biological beings takes on significance.
Generation after generation of AI embellishment and intelligence development can never displace or replace Mankind that was created in the image of God. AI advocates believe that denying the existence of God covers that particular argument, thereby empowering advancing AI with ultimate superiority.
It doesn’t work that way. Any amount of denying the supernatural creation of the universe, the earth and Man doesn’t alter truth. The truth is that as each scientific theory is posited to disprove God, none have actually done so. When giants of science like Stephen Hawking must go so far afield to disallow God by espousing wild creation theories like “panspermia,” it’s evident they’re grasping at straws. AI superiority falls into the same category. Yes, AI can be manipulated to subjugate humanity but ultimately surpass its inventor? No.
Blood has always been the connection between Man and God. It formed the supernatural covenant, it was required for sacrifice and it was essential for redemption
Natural Man was created as a flesh and blood being which no artificial skin can replace because
it is the life-essential blood which enables the human brain to function, both intellectually and spiritually, that matters.
Think, for a moment, outside the inorganic metal and plastic-based environment of society that runs on the current carried by earth-borne elements that were galvanized by and to serve humanity, who relies on its own power current, blood, for life. Blood has always been the connection between Man and God. It formed the supernatural covenant, it was required for sacrifice and it was essential for redemption.
AI has no blood to course through veins to feed a body, soul or brain function that enables spiritual development. Nor does it have blood to spill for redemption. In fact, AI has no true concept of sin other than searching vast data banks for humans’ interpretation which came through Spirit that AI hasn’t the ability to achieve or, subsequently, to comprehend.
Blood is the tie to God for salvation, and respect for the sentient Creation that populates the earth. Only living, bleeding beings can give their existence to God. Engineered machines – computerized, first crafted by human hand – lack Spirit because they lack blood and the capacity for breath which is how God endows a being with Spirit: Ru’ach, the breath of life. Spirit that God breathed into Man, and only Man, is not and never will be available to a man-made entity and especially to a machine-made intellect.
The power of the blood is rooted in the acknowledgment of a once-for-all sacrifice made on the Cross for all Mankind
The power of the blood is rooted in the acknowledgment of a once-for-all sacrifice made on the Cross for all Mankind. Artificial intelligence is also artificial life that cannot aspire to understanding the cosmos because the cosmos, and all things, are made by God. What scientists believe to be an improvement of natural brain activity is an inadequate imitation of the mind God created to be conversant with Himself through spirit and blood.
Taking implications a step farther, it is the blood that the pharmaceutical industry looks to have targeted when crafting multiple Covid-19 mRNA sera. What lay at the root of the pandemic of sudden deaths among otherwise young and healthy individuals are the injections that, according to Pfizer's own clinical documents, were proven to cause clotting, aneurysms, myocarditis, pericarditis and, simply put, heart failure. Is it a coincidence that, biblically speaking, the blood (life) and the heart (spirit) are most affected by the "vaccines" and boosters? (To plunge further down that rabbit hole, would chatbots refer to these documents truthfully when asked?)
In the end, AI has limitations that cannot be overcome by increasing data volume and faster access to resources developed by Man’s ingenuity... ingenuity that eventually built the AI that some claim will surpass its maker. However, AI can’t supersede Man any more than God can be superseded by His creation. Just ask Lucifer.

Winter, Desolation, and Faith
By Richard Moss, MD
February 20, 2020
The depths of winter are the bleakest of times, grey and fallow, the trees emptied of life, the wildlife desperate and sullen, the earth a crystalline tomb. The winter mires us and spreads its desolation before us. It sinks its fingers into our flesh, immobilizing us as it does the world. The winter is a metaphor for death, but it is also death itself. It captures us like beasts and encircles us.
But within the wretchedness there is a thread. Winter bears a bitter irony - that with its pitiless encroachment new meaning can come. But like nature we must turn inward. In winter we self-examine and prune our excesses. As nature labors inwardly after the leaves have fallen, so must we.
In winter we glimpse the approaching spring: even as we drift pointlessly, lost in our labyrinths, gazing at mirrors, combing the ruins of our lives and the evolving expanse of our illusions. In that emptiness, we may reach for some tenuous slip of life.
We may recover our souls in winter even as we are grounded in its bleak soil, our roots
frayed and broken, the knowledge of death upon us, its odor wafting about us. Our faces are withered, our bones bowed and arthritic, our souls failing; we commune with the elders who know the prophecies. But in the midst of winter and its letter of death, we glean the signs of faltering life. We do not hide from mortality and its numbing portent; we embrace it, and so unshackle ourselves.
The lakes and rivers will thaw, new leaves will form, flowers will turn over in the copper earth, gardens will decorate the land as ornaments, the insects and forest life will multiply, the birds will repopulate the heavens, the cobalt seas will warm and seethe, the rains will return, the farmers will plow the mahogany fields, and a new harvest will come.
Turn inward in winter, as nature does, and repair oneself. Recall the past and discern its wisdom. As the winter consumes us, so too does it scatter the seeds of the next generation: the earth will ply its orbit and hold its tilt, the sun will cast its broad filigree of light, and the eternal cadences will release us and bestow God’s benediction. Through the specter of death we may live again. Within the winter of the mind we glimpse the spring of the mind. New life will come.
The spring will sanctify us with its budding fruit. It will ripen in summer. In fall, we shall have our bounty. And then shall come the winter as the earth dies again and prepares for the coming seasons of grace. We rediscover the Almighty in the cycles He has created; He renews us, and we are reborn.
