If materialism is a purely modern concept, why does St. Gregory of Nyssa spend so much time refuting it in On The Soul?

For the longest time we thought it'd be really cool to make machines like humans. The paradox is, now we are trying to make humans like machines. - Kelly Kapic

The repeated story across Scripture, with few exceptions, is that technology should be limited for the sake of relationships.

It is not that one repents, experiences forgiveness, and then is later baptized, but rather that the attitude of repentance comes to tangible expression in the act of baptism. - Stan Fowler

In Matthew 15:4-6, Jesus warns against using one commandment to override a different command (in this case. If you think Jesus is a great moral teacher, you won’t use “love neigbour” to override the condemnation of sexual immorality.

Tomorrow, I teach my first class at Heritage College and Seminary. Today, I was feeling nervous. Then I played basketball. Now I feel pure excitement to teach. Also very thankful. God is good.

Be careful not to over-psychologize in hermeneutics and interpretation. From Paul Riceour:

What we imagine most is what we image best. To navigate technology wisely, we must know Jesus.

Read enough Wendell Berry, and you might reject AI for the sake of nature. Read enough Jacques Ellul, and you might reject AI for the sake of telos. Or at least that’s how it seems to happen. The truth is much more complicated. I wrote about that here: www.andrewnoble.net/p/whats-your...

A "religionless" human is a mere construct, as thin and vacuous an abstraction as the "natural man" of Rousseau and the adherents of the social contract. In reality it never existed. - Herman Bavinck

Idols must be named, understood, and demythologized as part of Christian formation.

Technology is not just something that mediates between our mental intentions and the physical world about us, technology gets inside our heads and affects the very way in which we conceive our reality. - George Pattison

Modern people have no moral ideal, no example; they are only infatuated with progress toward a misty ideal. They are, therefore, restless, empty, without authority, disconnected, and emancipated. - Herman Bavinck in the early 1900s

It is in vain that you rise up early and go late to rest, eating the bread of anxious toil; for he gives to his beloved sheep. - God

Top 7 biblical themes to teach on technology: 1) idol / identity / image 2) creation / cultural mandate / new creation 3) exile / Babylon 4) shame / clothes / ark / imputation 5) possessions / ownership / money 6) relationship / church / love 7) virtue / Spirit / fruit

Love is best understood not merely as an act of will, in contrast to the act of the intellect, but rather as an ontological unity, within which we properly will and understand. - D.C. Schindler

I also don’t think you should work for the devil! (I appreciate your work though. And AI as mirror is a good approach, as you’ve said for TGC. Shannan Vallor has some good points about AI as mirror as well though I’d prefer your take over hers. She lacks a distinctly Christian virtue ethic)

Turkle is great. It is different in many ways. For one, I don’t think anyone has committed suicide due to a fond pet affection (see character AI case. See recent episode of Undivided Attention) 2, Underlying Gnosticism. Each tool must be assessed on its own. Analogies are limited.

Andrew Noble @andrewnoble.bsky.social · 09/08/2025

You can leverage your Ellul insights. Dan may not be familiar with them. I think AI as companionship is increasingly important. I like connecting this to idolatry. (Idol in relational and inducing sense not as in the ultimate god sense of idol) AI ethics tends to be weak on Christianity

Knowing “technology” for what it is requires the recognition of what has been lost politically and ethically. - George Grant

Three kinds of Christians who aren’t ready for AI. Those who lean too much on: 1) Pragmatics 2) Passivity 3) Pontification Who is ready? The ones who are strong in prudence and purpose. They will thrive while the rest stumble.

Seeing younger Christians think like this makes my heart sing! “It is better for a pastor to be present w/ his people and to preach a text w/o elegance or extensive research than for a corner-cutting pastor to rely on technology.” @andrewnoble.bsky.social ca.thegospelcoalition.org/article/your...

Your Sermon Doesn’t Need AI

We need to ask more than, “How might this save me time?” Ultimately, a pastor must ask himself and his elders: Is my use of GenAI ethical?
