He has a mental condition, he can get angry easy and common sense escapes him. He has sent over $20k to fake females over an extended time, i can tell him the person is fake and middle of the same night he will send anywhere from $30 - $200. He has put himself in financial trouble multiple times. I pray for nightly and would love if some of you could as well.
Salvation is first & foremost. Many people are delivered once they are saved. Whether or not this is a mental or spiritual problem, God is able to deliver.
Understand though, if this is a spiritual issue, You will need to pray for your wife & yourself for God's protection.
In spiritual depression, the person can lash out in anger when the spirit is agitated.
If you can get him away from your house, directly pray for him openly & speak to him about his salvation. Watch for sneaky conversation that agees with you but doesn't go anywhere or away from the subject. See if this approach brings on an instant anger reaction to deflect/shut down the conversation. These are only 2 ways of many, but there are spiritual symptoms to look for.

When God created everything, He had Adam name all the creatures: of all of the creation tjere wasnt a suitable companion, so God created a companion from the mans own flesh. Now human are hubrostic we are dissatisfied with the companion God created from our own flesh; thinking we can usurp God, we will create our own companion.

The Bible says "Love not the world or the things of the world". Amen.
I would also say "Trust not the world or the things of the world".
Jer 17:5This is what the LORD says:
“Cursed is the man who trusts in mankind
And makes flesh his [c]strength,
And whose heart turns away from the LORD.
6“For he will be like a bush in the desert,
And will not see when prosperity comes,
But will live in stony wastes in the wilderness,
A land of salt that is not inhabited.

Psalm 146:3Do not trust in noblemen,
In [d]mortal man, in whom there is no salvation.

If a robot cooked or brought you a meal, would you be opposed to it?
This thread isnt about food prep and delivery; its about companionship.
The point Gandolf is making, is that a robot maybe good at mudane tasks, it is not a companion. (In a snarky kind of way, which is funny in my opinion).

A lot of the food we eat are cooked by robots with little human intervention... so maybe :unsure: and some of the waiter staff act like robots :ROFL:
In japan there are totally automated cafeterias.

I was thinking about the robot discussing my tax return and that was why I referenced the accountant.... but anyway :)

It was a bit funny in my opinion :p :giggle::coffee:

I do not honestly know how to tackle this question from a Biblical standpoint.
Avoid the unequal yoke. Ask it if it knows Jesus as its Lord and Savior. If you find a she-bot like that, let Oyster know! :love:

Chances are, if you find a she-bot that will listen while you ask about Jesus Christ being Lord and Savior.......
it will not be able to compute and malfunction/self destruct.

He had to move in with us, my wife is his only family member that wouldn’t and doesnt take advantage of him. i let him hang out with me but you can feel his depression.
I sent you a PM about this. @Stephen777 I understand the situation but to me that approach isn't even a valid last resort. There are options like bride purchase (not per se but the concept exists) and a few other things that if he presumably has the money it is worth pursuing at least mentally.

The best biblical answer is found in Genesis 2:18: And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.

God made women to be helpers and companions for men -- to complement men. So if this person wants to follow God's directive then what he should do immediately is find himself a good, godly wife. Which means that he has to break out of his shell and be a man. To avoid dating is a form of cowardice. You can break this to him gently but truth is truth.

Machines are not companions, and they are in fact detrimental to the mental health of people. All these people fiddling with their iPhones today have been taken captive by Satan indirectly. Pastors even want to fiddle with iPhones instead of opening the Bible and preaching the Word of God.
Great points. My first thought was how is an android companion any different to a phone? Sure, an android companion may be unhealthy, but so too are the phones people waste their lives in these days. At least an android companion can probably cook a good dinner.

My second thought was that the natural (real) world is so perverted (deliberately so), that perhaps he's better off with an artificial companion that sticks to its programming. But your answer of seeking a Godly wife is the one that addresses this with a faithful attitude.

They are saying the new androids are so perfected they can not be identified visually. Which brings me to the issue that was brought to me.
A close friend that is unhappy and has been alone for years, no dating etc. He asked me if it is wrong for him to purchase a companion android that can even hold discussions with his tax returns.
I do not honestly know how to tackle this question from a Biblical standpoint.
Where does one purchase a companion android. At Amazon, Ebay? See nothing wrong about the concept of companion androids. Perhaps a dog or a puddy cat?

A lot of relationships are artificial as well as superficial so maybe an android companion would be a more realistic and ideal experience in some regards. If the android relationship starts to get stale you could always go for the latest upgrade or hit delete.
