Subject: Can anyone explain this to me |
Bible Note: I'd just like to review the scriptures and scholarhip on the beast before attempting an answer; based on what I have studied in the past, I do have an opinion, but before I give it, I want to be careful to support my view with credible sources. Your concerns about technology taking the place of God in our lives is valid; science and technology can be just like numerology, witchcraft, sorcery and voodoo in that they can become religion. On the other hand, I note that we are using computers and the internet for Christian fellowship and teaching, so perhaps its more important for us to consider how we use these tools rather than simply reacting to their existence. To learn more about me, just click on my user name "parable", next to any of my messages. If a user has completed a bio sketch, anyone can read it by clicking on their user name. According to scripture, no one can know the timje of Jesus return, so I can't say if we are in the end times or not. Matthew 24:36 "No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father." We should not waste our time trying to predict what only the Father knows. I accept that you are sharing in good faith, so don't worry about offending me. You said your point about computers/internet was not based on numerology. So what was it based on? If scripture, please list verses. Praise God! |
