BibleAI

A 7B Bible study model fine-tuned from Qwen 2.5 on 50,000+ theological training examples. Quotes scripture exactly from the Berean Standard Bible, handles Hebrew and Greek exegesis with Strong’s numbers, and presents Protestant, Catholic, and Orthodox perspectives side by side.

Built by Rhema. Also available on HuggingFace.

What it does

Ask it about a passage and it gives you the exact BSB text, relevant cross-references, and Greek/Hebrew terms with transliteration and parsing. Ask about a debated topic like baptism or predestination and it lays out how different traditions read the text instead of picking one.

It only answers theology, Bible, and church history questions. It won’t do math, write code, or give medical advice. If someone needs pastoral care, it says so.

Training

Two-stage fine-tune on Qwen 2.5 7B Instruct:

  1. Continued pretraining on public-domain theological texts (Calvin, Barnes, Pulpit Commentary, Keil-Delitzsch, 15+ creeds and confessions)
  2. QLoRA instruction tuning on 50,000+ examples from 24 generators covering verse lookup, exegesis, cross-references, doctrinal Q&A, patristic scholarship, and multi-tradition comparison

All grounded in the Berean Standard Bible with morphology and lexicon data across 31,102 verses.
