Modern medicine, clothing, transportation, food, and more have progressed for 2000 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technology is not God's number one goal for us but rather that everyone come to repentance and a genuine belief in Jesus Christ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesus said your riches in this world are moth eaten . Store your treasures in Heaven where the moth can't eat 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
