Can we live with it and still be true to God without love for the world?

A definition of technology:  the application of scientific knowledge for practical purposes, especially in industry

Why not?  Modern medicine, clothing, transportation, food, and more have progressed for 2000 years.

Technology is not evil, what we do with the technology can be.  The real question is, what and who is in your heart?

One thing I will need to admit is that through technology we now have access to far much more information to sift through.  Be sure what your goal is when sifting through this information as there is a lot that can lead someone astray.

Daniel 12:4 “But you, Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book until the time of the end; many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.”

Daniel was told the meaning of this prophecy would be sealed until time of its fulfillment. Technology is not God's number one goal for us but rather that everyone come to repentance and a genuine belief in Jesus Christ.

Yes know knowledge can be an ever present danger. It offers ease comfort excitement distraction. It can side track our first love.

It says in Daniel 12:4 that toward the end knowledge would be greatly increase. Instead of considering God they want a pat on the back and a Noble prize. Money equals financial security. Manicured lawns and in house maids, yachts at their back yard  dock , shofar driven limos. Jesus said your riches in this world are moth eaten . Store your treasures in Heaven where the moth can't eat

The answer is Yes for some people and No for some people. Technology is inherently not evil. But it would be used by devil as a tool to tempt many. And many would fall for that. It is up to an individual to whether fall for those temptations or not. It is the same thing with everything! Money itself is not evil. But many fall for greed over money. Do insane things to get money!

You do realize that modern technology has allowed you to make your post, right?  Would you do away with computers/cellphones/the Internet used to spread God's word?  Would you do away with modern transportation which allows those chosen the means to spread God's word?  Would you do away with the presses that print God's word?  Would you do away with modern medicines which treat and heal God's people?  We all have a part to play in God's plan.  Out responsibility  is to discern the truth through our guide in this world, the Holy Spirit.

We should not be so fast to answer with out thought. Of course you are right, but there are two sides t the coin. One pride and the other humble.  I believe I said CAN be an ever present danger. Because of Technology in the wrong hands our world cold be an ash heap.

We cannot keep technology out of the hands of those who would do us harm.  It IS an ever present danger.  It is the world we live in.

Yes it is even without technology. Still the technology explosion is a sign of the time. which is what I wanted to say, but Im sure you already knew that.

Im afraid for the church today that are cozy in the American dream blinded by stag net tradition that is mixed with worldly living. It's time we wake up. time is so short. It was good chatting with you Saved One

God bless
