“What Do You Think God’s Favourite Colour Is?” - The AI Kids Pastor
I thought it would be a fun experiment to see how AI would answer questions commonly asked by kids about God, Jesus and the Bible. AI provides a wealth of information but lacks the wisdom and discernment of human guidance. These posts are meant to prompt curiosity, critical thinking, and conversation.
Prompt:

Dear Timothy,
Thank you so much for your lovely letter! I'm thrilled to answer your question about God's favourite colour. It's such a wonderful and imaginative query, and I'm excited to explore it with you using the wisdom of the Bible.
Now, you know, the Bible doesn't explicitly mention God's favourite colour, but it does give us glimpses of His character through various passages. Let's dive into some of these verses and see what we can discover:
White: When we think of white, we often think of purity and cleanliness. In the Bible, white is associated with holiness and righteousness. Revelation 7:14 talks about a great multitude wearing white robes, washed in the blood of the Lamb (Jesus). This shows how God values purity and how His love cleanses us from sin.
Blue: Have you ever gazed at the sky and marvelled at its beautiful blue colour? Blue can remind us of the vastness and infinity of God's love and presence. Exodus 24:10, it describes God's throne as resembling a sapphire pavement. Sapphire is a deep blue gemstone, which gives us a hint that God might delight in the colour blue too.
Rainbow: While not a single colour, the rainbow is a magnificent display of many colours and holds special meaning in the Bible. In Genesis 9:13-16, God set the rainbow as a sign of His promise to never flood the earth again. It's a symbol of hope, love, and God's faithfulness.
Gold: Gold is a precious metal often associated with royalty and splendour. In Heaven, the streets are said to be made of pure gold (Revelation 21:21), reflecting the majestic beauty of God's dwelling place.
Green: When we see lush green fields and vibrant forests, we can think of God's creation and provision for us. In Psalm 23:2, says, "He makes me lie down in green pastures," reminding us of God's care and nourishment.
You know, colours are a magnificent gift from God. They not only add beauty to our world but can also remind us of His love, creativity, and the different aspects of His character.
Like a rainbow with many colours, God's love is multi-faceted and boundless. So, while we may not know His absolute favourite colour, we can be sure that He loves all the colours He created because they are a reflection of His boundless creativity and love for us.
Thank you again for your delightful question, dear friend! Keep exploring the wonders of God's creation and His Word, the Bible, as you grow in your faith and understanding.
May God's blessings be with you always!
With love in Christ,
AI Christian Kids Pastor
