  "article_text": "AI Bible commentary must be judged by whether Scripture has final authority over the tool, the reader, and the interpretation.\n\nThe central question in AI Bible commentary is authority. Does Scripture judge the answer, or does the answer subtly judge Scripture? Does the tool explain the text, or does it soften the text to make it acceptable to the reader? Without a clear authority structure, AI commentary becomes a religious opinion generator.\n\nThe rule is that Scripture is the final court of appeal. The answer must be accountable to the words, grammar, context, genre, covenantal setting, and canonical witness of Scripture. Tradition, scholarship, experience, and AI output may assist, but none may outrank the biblical text.\n\nThe same causal-theological distinctions must remain clear in every article. Merit is the ground that earns a result; human beings have no saving merit before God. A condition is what must be present for a promise, warning, or covenantal relation to apply. An instrument is the means by which a benefit is received. Fruit is what grows from a living root. Evidence is what shows the reality of a claim. Perseverance is continued abiding and faithfulness, not self-salvation. AI Bible study becomes unsafe when these categories are blurred into one vague religious impression.\n\nAI can assist by checking whether a commentary has shown its textual basis, identified the passage unit, explained context, and distinguished doctrine from inference. It can also be used to audit vague claims and expose missing evidence.\n\nThe danger is functional unbelief. A tool may verbally affirm Scripture while practically ignoring it. It may avoid hard doctrines, flatten moral commands, or make application more important than authorial intent.\n\nRequire every AI commentary answer to show the text it depends on. Ask what the passage says, what the context requires, what doctrine follows, what uncertainty remains, and what the interpretation rules out.\n\nThe site’s article expansion project exists to strengthen this authority structure around the commentary, prompts, tools, and resource directory.\n\nIf Scripture is not governing the commentary, the commentary is not safe for serious Bible study.",
