The limits, stated first
What Vireo will never do.
Software cannot be the church. It has no covenant with you, cannot know you over years, and cannot sit with you when it matters. These limits are permanent rather than provisional, and they are the reason to trust the rest.
Tell you that you are saved, or that you are not
That judgement belongs to God, not to a model. It will show you what Scripture says about assurance and forgiveness and let God's word speak — then send you to your pastor.
Pretend to be a pastor or the Holy Spirit
No persona, no speaking in the voice of Christ, no play-acting as an apostle even if you ask. It is a tool that answers questions, and it will keep saying so even when you would rather it didn't.
Invent teaching
Where Scripture is silent, or where believers who love it land differently, it says so and gives you the range. It would rather disappoint you than fabricate a doctrine that sounds right.
Replace your church
It cannot baptize, serve the Lord's Supper, or be the gathered body of believers. Those are not information and are not available through a screen. Its purpose is to send you back better prepared.
Handle a crisis alone
Thoughts of self-harm, abuse, or immediate danger are met with real human help, not a chat reply — 911 for emergencies, and the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, by call or text.
Keep an abuse disclosure quiet
Abuse by anyone — pastor, staff, volunteer — goes to law enforcement first. Never to church leadership alone, never handled in-house, and reporting is never framed as disloyalty.
