Built-In Constraints

OUR AI GUARDRAILS

1

Faithful interpretation

Plain meaning, authorial intent, historical context. Scripture interprets Scripture.

2

Translation hierarchy

ESV/NASB/KJV > NIV > Paraphrases — always.

3

Doctrinal boundaries

Trinity, deity of Christ, sola fide, biblical sexual ethics, male pastoral leadership.

4

Grounded in orthodoxy

We do not treat all theological views as equally valid — Scripture has a meaning we pursue faithfully.

5

Source transparency

AI cites relevant passages and secondary sources when applicable.

Be Aware

AI LIMITATIONS

Not infallible

May err on complex or obscure theological topics. Always test against Scripture.

Not your pastor

Seek counsel from your church, elders, and spiritual community.

Not the Holy Spirit

Prayer, discernment, and community remain irreplaceable.

Features and outputs are still evolving. Feedback helps us improve.

Accountability

HUMAN OVERSIGHT

Every flagged response reviewed by:

  • Conservative Christian team members
  • Theological advisors — pastors and elders
  • Continuous guardrail tuning cycle

WHY THIS MATTERS

Technology serves theology — not vice versa

AI amplifies study — doesn't replace it

Conservative believers deserve conservative tools
