I was born in 1925, the idea of the net wasn’t part of our world at all.Now, it is a great tool for evil and good. I remember what life was like without being able to go to the net for information so to me, it seems like an impossibly wonderful dream come true. To learn something, we often had to go to the library or buy an expensive book, or travel miles to a research center or----------.
It has opened up a way to share information that would take time and money beyond most of our abilities to pay to those searching for true information about God.
I can study ancient Hebrew history opened up through the people who researched the deep sea scrolls.I don’t have to go to our best colleges to find this information.I can find out what Origen had to say in AD 182.I can read the words of Constantine and learn his effect on our church.I can learn what life was like in Jerusalem when Christ lived as a man.I can even learn ancient Hebrew, and learn the difference between ancient and modern Hebrew.I can grow as a Christian.
Churches and ministers paid the big bucks for tools and commentaries for studying bible, now lots are free on the net.Free bible software is a wonder, and my old concordance is gathering dust.
I could use the net for pornography.I could learn of the occult.I could think anything on the net is truth and be led into many errors.I have to know how to sift it for truth. With all its wonders, it is doing untold evil in the world.
What do you each think of the net?Do you have rules to use to sift it for truth?
