A tool in and of itself, is not evil. What people do with this tool may be evil. One cannot blame a tool on how others use it. The tool remains innocent, but the user may not be. Ha-ha. We both think alike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We decided we cannot, as Christians, in good concience take any part in a company that promotes this type of evil to 1.44 billion people (many which are children). So, we got a copy of all the photos that were uploaded and deleted the accounts for good! Never felt happier! I defended everyone that used that on their pictures. It let me make a serious statement to them all. Sorry, I am unsure what you mean by that. You say you "defended" them, please elaborate. Thanks.

The first thought is Worthy is social media. This is truly something that JESUS DOES USE, contrary to your comments in the title of this post. Where your thinking is, I have no idea. Secondly, Social Media such as Facebook is what WE EACH MAKE OF OUR OWN FACEBOOK PAGE. If we have stupid posts, we will get stupid posts. If we have vulgar posts, we will get vulgar posts. It is what WE make of it, I repeat. Facebook is as much of a ministry if we choose to make it that way. I have had facebook over 4 years and it truly is a ministry. I have over 200 friends all of which but probably 5% I do not know personally. All others I KNOW or have known personally, many for many years. It is a blessing when positive posts are made, SCRIPTURE, Encouraging posts, and the like. I am blessed by the ability to use this venue for sharing the Gospel. I know even unsaved friends read what I post and my other friend post, by clicking "like" and/or comments they made. So your comment "Jesus does not use Social Media' is really an oxymoron (if that is the correct word). I would think of your comments on this SOCIAL MEDIA. Amen! Facebook is my way of spreading the hope of Jesus Christ to the lost and to edify and encourage those who love the Lord Jesus Christ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God's Own people rejected God leading them.... it is written....... and a warning still TODAY --- don't seek to learn and use and go the way of the gentiles/ pagans/ heathen/ demon worshipers/ those who serve demons (see in Revelation "the whole world REFUSES to stop serving demons, even though they die in their sin apart from God they won't turn to HIM in JESUS to be saved.... no! they REFUSE and REJECT JESUS, so they die) .... oh, the world "loves its own" and will continue partying and marrying and giving in marriage and shopping..... just like in the days of NOAH, before the whole world was destroyed last time and only 8 were saved..... the internet is simply a tool..... nothing really different than a shovel or rake..... you can use them for good, or you can use them for bad..... I think your view on it is a bit short sighted.... but if that's your way then good for you, but I don't really think I like you asking me to live under the same thoughts...

God can use whatever means He chooses, to accomplish His will. We believers, are His body, we speak His word, do His will. This is true whether or not Jesus has a Facebook account. A place like Worthy is fine, but the mission field is out there, where the unsaved congregate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
