Agreement

Using the website

By accessing or using Ask Jesus Clearly, you agree to follow these Terms of Use and the policies linked from this page.

Do not use the website when you do not agree to these terms. You may stop using the website at any time.

These terms apply to the current public website and may be revised before accounts, active AI conversations, payments, comments, newsletters, or other interactive features are introduced.

Important limitations

What visitors should understand first

Educational resource

The website provides general Scripture-centered educational information. It is not a church, counseling service, professional practice, or emergency service.

Not the voice of Jesus

The website and any future AI feature do not claim to be Jesus, speak directly for God, provide prophecy, or deliver private revelation.

Not professional advice

Content does not replace qualified medical, mental-health, legal, financial, pastoral, emergency, or other professional assistance.

Possible errors

Articles, references, links, summaries, interpretations, and future generated responses may contain errors or incomplete explanations.

AI not currently active

The public AI Scripture Guide is not currently operational. The disabled homepage field is not intended to transmit or save visitor questions.

No guaranteed outcome

Using the website does not guarantee a particular spiritual, emotional, medical, legal, financial, relational, or personal result.

Nature of the website

An independent educational resource

Ask Jesus Clearly publishes educational guides about Jesus, Scripture, Christian faith, prayer, salvation, anxiety, forgiveness, and related questions.

The site is not presented as the official website of a particular church, denomination, ministry, pastor, seminary, professional practice, government agency, or emergency service.

The name Ask Jesus Clearly describes the project’s subject and purpose. It does not mean that the website is Jesus or that visitors are literally communicating with Jesus through the website.

Scripture and interpretation

Read cited passages for yourself

Articles may quote, summarize, explain, or interpret biblical passages. Commentary and interpretation are not themselves Scripture.

Visitors should verify references and read each passage in its complete literary and historical context.

Christian traditions sometimes interpret passages or doctrines differently. The website may summarize those differences, but it cannot represent every possible viewpoint or settle every theological disagreement.

Direct Bible quotations should identify their translation. Public-domain biblical text remains subject to any rights, conditions, or attribution requirements associated with the particular edition or source.

Professional and emergency assistance

Do not use the website as a replacement for qualified care

The website does not provide medical diagnoses, treatment, mental-health care, legal representation, financial advice, emergency response, or another professional service.

General biblical discussion cannot evaluate your complete circumstances, examine records, diagnose a condition, create a professional relationship, or guarantee a safe outcome.

Seek appropriate help from a trusted adult, qualified professional, pastor, counselor, clinician, attorney, emergency service, or other responsible source when needed.

Do not delay emergency or professional assistance because of something read on this website.

Artificial intelligence

The public AI guide is not currently active

The homepage may display a disabled question area describing a future AI Scripture Guide. That field is not currently intended to send, process, or save visitor questions.

Before a public AI feature is activated, these terms, the Privacy Policy, and the AI Use and Limitations page must be reviewed and updated to describe the actual service.

Future AI-generated content may be incorrect, incomplete, biased, repetitive, outdated, or overly confident. It must not be treated as Scripture, prophecy, divine revelation, or the direct voice of Jesus or God.

Read AI Use & Limitations

Visitor responsibilities

Use the resource thoughtfully

Read passages in context

Do not rely only on a short quotation or summary. Open the cited biblical passage and consider its surrounding chapter, book, audience, and purpose.

Use appropriate judgment

Consider your circumstances carefully and do not treat general online information as a complete answer to a serious personal decision.

Seek qualified help

Contact an appropriate professional, trusted adult, pastor, counselor, clinician, attorney, emergency service, or other qualified source when circumstances require it.

Protect private information

Do not send passwords, financial details, identification numbers, private records, medical records, or other highly sensitive information.

Verify important claims

Check Bible references, external sources, dates, professional information, and important factual claims before relying on them.

Use external sites carefully

Review the terms, privacy practices, safety information, and qualifications of any external service before using it.

Minors

Younger visitors should involve a responsible adult

Ask Jesus Clearly is a general educational resource and is not designed to collect personal information from children under 13.

Visitors who are not old enough to accept binding terms where they live should use the website with permission and guidance from a parent or legal guardian.

Minors should not submit names, addresses, school details, phone numbers, precise locations, private photographs, medical records, passwords, or other sensitive personal information.

The current website does not provide visitor accounts, public comments, payments, or an active AI question-submission service.

Intellectual property

Original site content and third-party material

The site’s original design, organization, branding, articles, explanations, graphics, code, and other original material may be protected by applicable intellectual-property laws.

You may link to public pages and use limited quotations for commentary, teaching, research, criticism, or other lawful purposes. Attribution should not imply endorsement, partnership, or official affiliation.

Do not reproduce or republish substantial original site content as a competing website, dataset, publication, commercial product, or misleading copy without permission.

Ask Jesus Clearly does not claim ownership of public-domain Bible text. Third-party material remains subject to the rights and conditions associated with its source.

Visitor submissions

Interactive submissions are not currently active

The current website does not provide active AI submissions, public comments, discussion forums, user profiles, saved conversations, or uploaded visitor content.

Messages voluntarily sent through an available contact method may be reviewed to respond to the request, investigate an error, protect the website, or comply with applicable obligations.

Do not send material that you do not have the right to share, or information that is unnecessarily private, confidential, or sensitive.

Separate submission terms may be required before interactive features are introduced.

External links

Other websites operate independently

Articles may link to Bible resources, government agencies, professional organizations, research publications, churches, ministries, or other websites.

Ask Jesus Clearly does not control external websites and is not responsible for their availability, accuracy, security, products, services, policies, or later changes.

An external link does not necessarily mean that Ask Jesus Clearly endorses every statement, organization, belief, service, or product found there.

Availability and changes

Pages and features may change

The website may be updated, corrected, redesigned, interrupted, restricted, moved, or discontinued.

Pages may be edited or removed when information is inaccurate, duplicated, outdated, unsafe, incomplete, or no longer aligned with the project’s standards.

Continuous availability, error-free operation, permanent storage, search-engine visibility, and compatibility with every browser or device are not guaranteed.

Disclaimer of warranties

The website is provided as available

To the extent permitted by applicable law, the website and its content are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis.

No promise is made that every page, quotation, interpretation, link, technical feature, or future AI response will be accurate, complete, current, available, secure, or suitable for a particular purpose.

Nothing in these terms excludes a warranty or protection that cannot lawfully be excluded where you live.

Limitation of responsibility

Use important information carefully

To the extent permitted by applicable law, Ask Jesus Clearly is not responsible for losses caused by relying unreasonably on general educational content, failing to seek appropriate help, using an external website, or misusing the website.

This limitation does not exclude responsibility that cannot lawfully be limited or excluded.

Your legal rights may differ depending on your location and the circumstances involved.

Enforcement

Misuse may result in restricted access

Reasonable technical or legal steps may be taken to investigate abuse, protect the website, preserve evidence, restrict malicious traffic, or respond to valid legal requirements.

Access may be limited or blocked when reasonably necessary to protect visitors, infrastructure, intellectual property, service providers, or other rights.

Changes to these terms

Terms may be revised as the project develops

These Terms of Use may be updated when website features, policies, service providers, ownership, operational practices, or legal requirements change.

The revised version should be published on this page with an updated date.

Continued use of the website after updated terms are published means the updated terms apply to later use, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

Severability

Remaining provisions

When a particular provision of these terms is found invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions should continue to apply to the extent permitted by law.

A failure to enforce a provision immediately does not necessarily waive the right to enforce it later.
