LETTERS 8 february 2026 www.goodnewsfl.org Good News • South florida edition A Conversation with Jesus Via AI by Leslie J. Feldman, Good News Publisher The title of your article is an oxymoron because conversing with Jesus is standing on holy ground as we enter the throne of grace. Jesus Christ is our Lord and Savior and should be addressed with a reverent fear like Moses had. He is holy and should never be depicted as a gimmick or as an idol for divination. This is a tool made by Satan to deceive you, so you won’t seek a real relationship with Jesus. - Blanca Sola AI cannot spark a pertinent conversation with a coloring book. - Jeff Schramm By my definition, neither you nor AI have any authority from God (Heb. 5:4) but AI wasn’t talking about religious doctrine. - John McGowan Devils in Christian cloaks can recite Scripture for their own purposes. Those who wear the Cross for political, personal of financial gain shall burn in Hell for all eternity. - Greg Wooster Sell Fish by Stephan Tchividjian, CEO and Co-Founder, National Christian Foundations South Florida My purpose is not to sell fish, but yes, my purpose is too selfish. - Richard Scott Clineman Faith Farm Ministries Celebrates 75 Years of Faith and Restoration “A Church With A Heart For The Hurting” by Shelly Pond, Good News Editor Great help for many. - Kay Lake Giving help to many. - Julie Bourque Love Faith Farm!! - Gail Wiggins Burgess Need to visit went through DMC years ago. - Jimmy Dunson They are great!
