AIs and Number of Genders Revisited is a new three-part article on my Christian website. My preferred conservative AI developed tech problems after an “update” that rendered it virtually unusable. That sent me on a journey looking for a replacement AI. What I found was mostly liberal AIs. That had me once again debating with them over gender issues. But I also found a unique AI that could prove to be quite helpful.

The three parts are:

Part One: Discussion with Meta AI (The Least Liberal of Major AIs)

Part Two: Discussion with BibleGPT: (Unique AI Answers Bible Questions from a Conservative Perspective)

Part Three: Hijras and Two-Spirits Not Third Genders (Gab AI Refutes a Gender Argument of Liberal AIs)

The Lord Stood By Me and Gave Me Strength

The Life and Legacy of Gary F. Zeolla;
Author, Bible Translator, Champion Powerlifter

      From powerlifting world records to forty books and a pioneering Bible translation, from battling chronic illness to weathering financial storms and singleness struggles, my life has been an unlikely testament to God’s sustaining grace. In this raw, revelatory autobiography, I pull back the curtain on:

✓ The Making of a Bible Translator – How I created the Analytical-Literal Translation despite health and financial obstacles

✓ Strength Through Struggle – My journey to 15 powerlifting all-time world records amid debilitating conditions

✓ Faith Under Fire – Spiritual practices that sustained me through singleness, dating disasters, and isolation

✓ Body as Temple – An overview of my diet and training regimen that keeps me productive against all odds

✓ Politics & Principles – Why I published controversial writings on fitness, politics, and Covid

      More than a memoir, this is a survival manual proving Paul’s words: “for whenever I am weak, then I am strong” (2Cor 12:10). Whether you’re wrestling with health limitations, vocational calling, or relational loneliness, my story shouts: God’s power thrives in broken vessels.

      I have only accomplished so much in my life despite the struggles because, “the Lord stood by me and gave me strength” (2Tim 4:17a). To Him be all the glory!

Available from Amazon in multiple formats for as little as $3.50.
