He offers salvation to all. That most reject Him is their doing, not His. Sin is deceptive as well as destructive. God delights in worship, but to say He "wants" it is missing the truth. He has no need of it, but He created us with both the need to worship Him and the freedom of will to reject...

Trying to make a connection between a Canaanite place name and a modern acronym is stretching far beyond the breaking point. It's a curiosity, that's all.

Which has nothing whatsoever to do with AI, which is an acronym for “artificial intelligence”.

The problem here is that people expect preachers to be pastors. They are not the same gifting. Further, instead of calling the elders when sick, people call the pastor. There’s no glory in how things were done badly in previous generations. While your grandfather clearly took his role...

This is what makes you a troll.

Only in your twisted imagination.

Wrong! The absence of an answer says nothing at all. It’s only your corrupt imagination that seeks to twist a non-response into a meaningful statement.

Why do you keep asking people the same question? If they have not answered, they probably won’t.

That’s a ridiculous and glaring example of a non sequitur. There is no rational path from the question to your accusation.
