What does Ellen White write about...
Adventistische Schriften über: "The user mourns his deceased father and asks what I think of an agentic AI that speaks and thinks like his father."
Answer
An AI that imitates the deceased father and speaks and thinks like him corresponds to what the Bible calls a spiritualist deception: the dead are dead, know nothing, and cannot communicate. Anything that pretends to come from a deceased person is actually a trick of Satan, who misleads the living through deceptive appearances. Therefore one should be skeptical of such offerings and rely on the biblical truth that the dead will awaken only at the resurrection.
According to the Bible, the spirits of the dead are unconscious and any claimed communication is deceptive
»The spirits that communicate claim to be the spirits of our deceased friends. Yet the Bible assures us in the most explicit terms that the dead are completely inactive and unconscious until the resurrection; that the dead know nothing; that every activity of the spirit has ceased; that every feeling of the heart rests; and that in the grave where they lie there is neither work nor equipment nor knowledge nor wisdom. Anything that comes to us as intelligence and pretends to be one of our deceased friends is pretending to be what we know from the Word of God that it is not.«
Satan can deceptively imitate the appearance of deceased friends
»The fallen angels who obey his will appear as messengers from the spirit world. While they pretend to convey contact with the dead to the living, Satan exerts his seductive influence on their spirit. He even has the power to present to people the appearance of their deceased friends. The forgery is complete; the familiar appearance, the words, the tone are imitated with astonishing precision.«

Why I built EGW Vision
Hello, I am Stephan Krol. I started this Ellen White website to make the writings of Ellen G. White and the Adventist pioneers easier to access for everyone.
EGW Vision helps you find topics, statements, and quotes faster, especially when many original sources are not yet fully available in your language. The tool searches semantically, groups relevant content by topic, and presents matching results as clearly as possible in your language.
My hope is that this tool supports personal Bible study, strengthens trust in the original sources, and helps more people discover the message of these writings with clarity, depth, and joy.
