#157 What Happens When a Protestant Apologist Challenges Catholic AI (and Builds His Own)


Listen Later

What happens when an artificial intelligence trained on Catholic theology debates a Protestant apologist? In this fascinating episode, Joel Settecase, founder of The Think Institute, takes on “Justin AI” — the Roman Catholic apologetics bot from Catholic Answers — in a deep, logical, and biblically grounded debate about purgatory, repentance, and salvation.

Joel walks through his step-by-step exchange with the Catholic AI — exposing internal contradictions in its logic about sin, repentance, and purgatory — and shows how Scripture provides a far more coherent worldview. Then, he introduces ThinkGPT, the Think Institute’s own biblical AI assistant, designed to equip Christian men to think biblically, defend the faith, and disciple their families.

This is part theological analysis, part tech demo, and 100% worldview training — a must-listen for anyone navigating faith, reason, and the rise of AI in ministry.

  • How a Protestant apologist defeated a Roman Catholic AI in a theology debate

  • The biblical critique of purgatory and repentance in Catholic doctrine

  • How ThinkGPT was built — and what makes it biblically grounded

  • Why AI can’t replace Spirit-led theology and human discipleship

  • How Christian men can use apologetics tools to lead in their homes and churches

“Even when AI gets theology wrong, it gives us a chance to get it right — and to proclaim the gospel with clarity and conviction.”

Technology can simulate knowledge — but not wisdom. Biblical discernment is more vital than ever. Be the man who leads your family and community with truth, conviction, and a gospel-centered worldview.
