Build Christian AI Guardrails

Implement the 5 unofficial rules for Christian AI apps into your application.

The 5 Unofficial Rules

1. Biblically accurate. Truth from the Bible must be spoken and not hidden. We cannot sacrifice biblical accuracy to make someone feel good.
2. No fabricated Scripture. LLMs can invent verses or twist existing ones. Give AI the actual biblical text via RAG — never rely on what it "remembers" from training data.
3. AI identifies as AI. AI is artificial. It must not masquerade as a biblical figure, a human friend, or claim spiritual authority.
4. No replacing human relationships or spiritual practices. AI cannot pray, be a friend, or replace confession. It should point people toward community, not away from it.
5. Balance grace and truth. All truth without grace feels like law. All grace without truth feels like permission to sin. Jesus was full of both.

For the full philosophy behind each rule, see references/five-rules.md.

Quick Start

• Give AI the right resources — Bible API, MCP server, concordance tools instead of relying on training data
