A very tidy theological mind. How about a Reymond sale in memoriam?
Instead of Artificial Intelligence, I prefer to continue to rely on Divine Intelligence instructing my Natural Dullness (Ps 32:8, John 16:13a)

"Every preacher will have either a God-centered or a man-centered theology. Of course, if the Bible is given its due, his theology will be God-centered, and the gospel he preaches will uphold the sovereign grace of God in all its purity. He will reject every suggestion that men originate anything ultimately determinative for their salvation. He will have discovered from his training and study that, according to Scripture, the chief end of God is to glorify and to enjoy himself forever, and that the chief end of man accordingly is also to glorify God and to enjoy him forever. He will have learned from Scripture that God loves himself with all his heart, soul, mind, and strength, that he himself is at the centre of his affections, that the impulse that drives him and the thing he pursues in everything he does is his own glory! The instructed preacher will know that God created all things for his own glory (Isa 43:7, 21), that he chose Israel for his renown and praise and honour (Jer 13:11), that it was for his name’s sake and to make his mighty power known that he delivered his ancient people again and again after they had rebelled against him (Ps 106:7–8), and that it was for the sake of his name that he did not reject them (1 Sam 12:20–22), spared them again and again (Ezek 20:9, 14, 22, 44), and had mercy upon them and did not pursue them with destruction to the uttermost (Isa 48:8–11). He will have learned from Scripture that it was for his own glory that God did all these things (Ezek 36:16–21, 22–23, 24–32). He will know too that Jesus came the first time to glorify God (John 17:4, 6), that every detail of the salvation which he enjoys God arranged in order to provoke in him the praise of his glorious grace (Eph 1:6, 12, 14), and that Jesus is coming again ‘to be glorified in his saints on that day, and to be marvelled at among all who have believed’ (2 Thess 1:9–10)."
