Hopefully by now, you have learned not to claim knowledge you learned from AI. ‘Knowledge’ created by AI scouring the internet is, in fact, creative. Here are some of my favorite AI fails.
ChatGPT quotes Eve
I said:
Did Jesus say anything about Adam?
ChatGPT said:
Yes — and it matters.
Jesus didn’t treat Adam like a metaphor, a myth, or a teaching device. He treated Adam as a real, historical man whose creation defined what it means to be human.
Here’s the core statement:
“Have you not read that He who created them from the beginning made them male and female, and said, ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’?”
— Matthew 19:4–5 (quoting Genesis 1–2)
Jesus is explicitly anchoring human marriage and sexual identity to the first humans God made — Adam and Eve. He’s saying:
Go back to the beginning. That’s the blueprint.
He’s also even more direct in Mark 10:6:
“From the beginning of creation, ‘God made them male and female.’”
That’s Adam-and-Eve language. Jesus is not appealing to later culture, law, or evolution. He’s pointing to Genesis as history.
Why this is a big deal
Jesus is doing three radical things here:
- He affirms Adam as a real person
If Adam isn’t real, then Jesus just built His moral teaching on fiction — which destroys His authority. - He ties human identity to Adam’s creation
Gender, marriage, and family are not social inventions. They’re rooted in how Adam and Eve were made. - He treats Genesis as factual
Not poetry. Not allegory. Not a campfire story.
Actual events.
The theological explosion
The New Testament repeatedly links Adam and Jesus:
“For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive.” — 1 Corinthians 15:22
“The first man Adam became a living being; the last Adam a life-giving spirit.” — 1 Corinthians 15:45
Jesus is called the Last Adam because Adam was the real first one.
Break Adam, and the gospel collapses.
No Adam → no Fall
No Fall → no sin
No sin → no need for Jesus
No Jesus → Christianity becomes a self-help club
So yes — Jesus spoke about Adam.
And by doing so, He locked Genesis into the foundation of everything that follows.
No wiggle room. No modern reinterpretation.
The first man mattered — because the Second Man came to fix what the first one broke.
You said:
Is that the only time Jesus mentioned Adam or Eve?
ChatGPT said:
No — and this is where it gets even sharper.
Jesus doesn’t just allude to Adam and Eve once. He weaves them into the spine of His worldview.
Here are the main places where Jesus explicitly roots His teaching in the first humans:
1️⃣ Adam & Eve as the origin of humanity
We already looked at this, but it’s worth seeing how blunt it is:
“From the beginning of creation, God made them male and female.”
— Mark 10:6
That’s not vague.
That’s Genesis 1–2.
Jesus is saying:
Humanity didn’t evolve into male and female. God created them that way from the start.
That requires Adam and Eve to exist.
2️⃣ Jesus quotes Eve’s marriage words
In Matthew 19:5 Jesus quotes this line from Genesis:
“For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother…”
Those are Eve’s words in Genesis 2:24 — spoken about Adam.
Jesus treats them as authoritative, historical speech, not myth.
3️⃣ Jesus refers to Abel — Adam’s son
This one hits harder than people realize.
“…the blood of all the prophets, shed from the foundation of the world, may be charged against this generation, from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah…”
— Luke 11:50–51
Abel was Adam and Eve’s first murdered child.
Jesus places Abel at “the foundation of the world.”
That means:
- Adam and Eve existed
- Their children existed
- The first murder happened
- Human sin was already corrupting the world
Jesus is treating Genesis 4 as literal history.
4️⃣ Jesus ties Satan to Eden
This is subtle but lethal to the “Genesis is symbolic” idea.
“He was a murderer from the beginning… a liar and the father of lies.”
— John 8:44
“Murderer from the beginning” points straight to:
- Satan’s deception in Eden
- Which led to
- Cain murdering Abel
Jesus is locating real moral evil at the start of human history — not as a metaphor.
What Jesus never does
Jesus never says:
- “Genesis is symbolic”
- “Adam is a metaphor”
- “These stories evolved over time”
- “Ancient people misunderstood creation”
Instead, He does the opposite:
He builds doctrine on Adam, Eve, Eden, marriage, murder, and the Fall.
So when modern Christianity tries to turn Adam into poetry, they are not following Jesus.
They’re correcting Him.
And that’s a dangerous game.
