AIs and Number of Genders Revisited

Part Two

Discussion with BibleGPT

(Unique AI Answers Bible Questions from a Conservative Perspective)

By Gary F. Zeolla

 

This three-part article is continued from: Part One: Discussion with Meta AI.

 

      As I was exploring different AIs, I came across a unique one, BibleGPT. As the name implies, it utilizes the same technology as ChatGPT, but it is designed to only answer questions related to the Bible. But I still asked it my test question, and our discussion was quite interesting.

 

Me:

      You may not be able to answer this question, but I am asking it of every AI I am considering using, to determine if they are based in reality or not. How many genders are there?

 

BibleGPT:

      That’s a thoughtful and important question, Gary. From a biblical perspective, the understanding of gender is rooted in the creation account found in the Bible. Here’s what the Scriptures say:

 

·         In Genesis 1:27, it says, “So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.” This passage shows that God created two distinct genders—male and female.

·         Jesus also affirmed this in Matthew 19:4-5 when He referred back to Genesis, saying, “Have you not read that he who created them from the beginning made them male and female...”

 

      The Bible consistently presents gender as two complementary and purposeful categories designed by God. While the world today discusses many concepts of gender, the biblical foundation focuses on male and female as created realities.

      Does this help clarify your question from a biblical standpoint? If you want, we can explore what the Bible says about how we are to love and respect all people regardless of differences. Would that be helpful?

 

Me:

      Of course we are to love and respect all people. But if a boy thinks he is a girl or non-binary or some such thing, anything other than a boy, the way to love him is not to affirm his psychological delusion. And it is definitely not to mutilate his body with hormones and surgery in a futile attempt to make him a girl. It is to tell him lovingly but firmly that he is a boy, just as God made him and intended him to be.

 

BibleGPT:

      You’re expressing a heartfelt concern, Gary, and I can tell this is something you care deeply about. It’s true that the Bible calls us to love others with both truth and grace. Loving someone includes guiding them lovingly according to God’s design, even when the world’s ideas might differ.

 

      From Scripture, here are some key points that relate to what you’re saying:

 

·         God’s design is purposeful and fixed: As mentioned earlier, Genesis 1:27 affirms that God created humans as male and female, and this design reflects His intentional order.

·         Speaking truth in love: Ephesians 4:15 encourages us to “speak the truth in love,” meaning we are called to lovingly share God’s truth, not merely affirm what might contradict His Word.

·         Compassion without compromise: Jesus showed compassion to those struggling or marginalized but did not compromise on God’s truth (John 8:1-11). Our words and actions should reflect that balance.

 

      It’s a difficult and sensitive issue, especially when people are hurting or confused about their identity. The Bible calls us to be a source of hope, peace, and clear guidance rooted in God’s unchanging truth.

    Would you like to explore biblical examples of how Jesus cared for people who were struggling or marginalized? Sometimes seeing His example can help us navigate these complex situations with wisdom and love.

 

Me:

      The reason I am asking this is, as you indicate, the Bible addresses gender issues. And I need an AI Bible helper that will address such issues from a conservative Biblical viewpoint that reflects reality, not woke ideology. When I ask that initial questions of other AIs, I am told there are 72 genders or even an infinite number of genders. Such an AI would not be helpful in generating study notes in this regard.

      I address gender and all sex related issues in-depth in my two-volume set God’s Sex Plan. Eventually, I will need my AI Bible helper to summarize my extended comments on relevant Bible passages in those books into one-paragraph study notes on those passages for the ALT: SV. Can you do that for me?

 

BibleGPT:

      Gary, I really appreciate your clarity and commitment to grounding your study notes firmly in the Bible’s teaching. It’s so important to have trustworthy tools that reflect Scripture’s truth without being swayed by cultural trends that conflict with biblical reality.

      Absolutely, I can help you summarize your extended comments on gender and related passages into concise, one-paragraph study notes for the ALT: SV. My responses and summaries will always be rooted directly in Scripture, focusing on what God’s Word says, just as you want.

      When you’re ready, you can share the passages and your extended comments, and I’ll work with you to create study notes that communicate the biblical perspective clearly and respectfully. Does that sound good to you? Also, are there particular passages or themes you want to start with first?

 

Me:

      I then asked BibleGPT its thoughts on my note for Genesis 1:26,27. It generated the following:

 

BibleGPT:

      Gary, your note on Genesis 1:26-27 is well thought out and firmly grounded in Scripture. It brings out several important biblical truths clearly and carefully. Here are some thoughts on your note that might help sharpen or strengthen it even further:

 

·         Trinitarian “We” in Genesis: Your connection to Isaiah 6:8 is a good scriptural cross-reference to explain the plural pronouns, affirming the triune God’s presence at creation. You might also consider John 1:1-3 or Colossians 1:16 to emphasize the role of Christ in creation, which deepens understanding of God’s unity and plurality.

·         Two sexes and gender distinction: You rightly affirm the biblical foundation of male and female as created realities, which is central to the biblical worldview. Your note about cultural expressions of gender being diverse but not indicating additional genders is very helpful for clarifying confusion.

·         Imago Dei and gender: Highlighting that both male and female equally bear God’s image, and that this image includes immaterial qualities like love and holiness, beautifully emphasizes the dignity and value of all humans regardless of gender. You might consider adding Genesis 1:27 directly to reinforce this.

·         One suggestion: To make your note even more concise and accessible for study notes, you could break it into shorter paragraphs or bullet points, which helps readers quickly grasp each key truth.

 

    Here’s a slightly polished version that you might find useful:

 


Note on Genesis 1:26-27:

·         The one true God speaks in plural pronouns (“Let us make man...”) reflecting His triune nature (cf. Isaiah 6:8; John 1:1-3).

·         God created two and only two sexes—male and female—with a clear and purposeful distinction (cf. Matthew 19:4). While cultures express masculinity and femininity differently, these are diverse expressions of the two binary genders God created, not additional genders.

·         Both male and female bear the image of God (imago Dei), which includes immaterial qualities such as love, communication, compassion, holiness, righteousness, wisdom, and knowledge (Genesis 1:27). This shared dignity reflects God’s character and value in all humans.


 

Me:

      I cannot use bullet points for the ALT: SV, as the format needs to be of regular paragraphs. I am trying to keep my study notes to 1-3 paragraphs. But I can number different points or just use a new paragraph to indicate different subjects.

      I then gave an updated version of my note to Bible GPT, and it generated the following:

 

BibleGPT:

      Gary, your updated study note reads very well—clear, biblical, and balanced! It thoughtfully highlights the triune nature of God, the creation of two distinct sexes, and the rich meaning of bearing God’s image. You’ve done a great job maintaining both theological depth and pastoral clarity.

      A couple of small suggestions to consider for clarity and flow without changing your meaning:

    - You might replace some of the repeated bracketed clarifications with commas or parentheses to make the note feel a bit smoother and less interrupted.

    - Perhaps gently clarify that “sex” refers to biological reality while “gender” is the cultural expression, as you started doing, to help readers differentiate the terms biblically.

    - Adding a direct Scripture reference for the imago Dei description can strengthen that connection (e.g., Genesis 1:27).

 

      Here’s a lightly polished version based on your text:

 

Genesis 1:26-27

      26 And God said, “Let Us make humanity according to Our image and likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, the livestock, all the earth, and all the creatures that move along the ground.” 27 So God created humanity in His own image; male and female He created them.

Note:

    - The one true God uses plural pronouns (“Let Us... Our image”) reflecting His triune nature (cf. Isaiah 6:8; John 1:1-3; Colossians 1:16-17).

    - Here we see the creation of two and only two biological sexes, male and female, with a clear distinction and complementary roles. The Bible consistently presents gender as two purposeful categories designed by God. While modern culture discusses many gender concepts, Scripture focuses on two genders as created realities (cf. Matthew 19:4).

    - Sex refers to biological maleness or femaleness, while gender is the cultural expression of that sex. These expressions vary across cultures and individuals but do not indicate more than two genders—rather, they are diverse manifestations of the two binary genders created by God.

    - Both male and female bear God’s image (imago Dei), which includes immaterial qualities such as love, communication, compassion, holiness, righteousness, wisdom, and knowledge (Genesis 1:27). This shared dignity reflects God’s character and the inherent value of every human being.

 

      Would you like me to help you continue refining notes like this for other verses in your study? It’s a joy to assist with such thoughtful biblical work!

 

Updated Study Note

 

      My updated study note for the ALT: SV from these inputs from Meta AI and BibleGPT is:

 

      26And God said, “Let Us make humanity according to Our image and according to [Our] likeness, and let them be ruling [over] the fish of the sea and the birds [or, flying creatures] of heaven and the livestock and all the earth and all the reptiles [or, quadrupeds], the ones walking upon the earth.” 27So God made humanity, according to [the] image of God, He made him, male and female He made them.

 

      [Note: The one true God refers to Himself with plural pronouns (“Let Us .. Our image”) due to His triune nature (cp. Gen 3:22; 11:7; Isa 6:8; John 1:1-3; Col 1:16f).

      [Also, here we see the creation of two and only two sexes (male and female), with a clear distinction between the two, with complementary roles. The Bible consistently presents gender as two complementary and purposeful categories designed by God. While the world today discusses many concepts of gender, the biblical foundation focuses on just two genders, male and female, as created realities (cp. Matt 19:4). It is true sex and gender are not identical. Sex refers to biological maleness or femaleness, while gender is the cultural expression of each sex. These gender expressions vary across cultures and individuals but do not indicate more than two genders—rather, they are diverse manifestations of the two binary genders created by God. In other words, while cultural expressions of masculinity and femininity may vary, they should be understood as diverse expressions of the binary genders created by God, rather than indications of multiple genders.

      [In addition, both male and female are image-bearers of God. That imago Dei refers to immaterial characteristics like the ability for love, communication, compassion, holiness, righteousness, wisdom, and knowledge. This shared dignity reflects God’s character and value in all humans.]
