Putting Stumbling Blocks in Front of God’s People and Destroying the Earth

Malachi 2:7 7"For the lips of a priest ought to preserve knowledge, because he is the messenger of the LORD Almighty and people seek instruction from his mouth
I’ve involved myself on Christian Forums for the first time in my life starting in Dec. 2019.
It is my conscience that TV’s, Computers, Internet, Cell Phones, Artificial Intelligence, a lot of Man created Technologies, the Energies that give those Inventions their artificial Life and Light are stumbling blocks put in front of God’s People. A part of the Endtimes Strong Delusion as in:
2 Thessalonians 2:11-12 King James Version (KJV)
11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
These are all ways leading to Mankind’s enslavement, the Mark of the Beast and eventual destruction. The Leaders and Scribes will be held in higher accountability than those who follow Blindly. Leaders are anyone telling you that this is ok and enforcing it, sometimes just by using it as an example to others. Even anyone in those fields giving orders working for that which leads astray God’s People or is destroying the Earth.
Could anyone in the cities especially, give up their cell phones and materialistic toys and comforts, walk away from them and never look back or would many be like Lots Wife? Try, and you will find how hard it has already become to do this as well as you will find yourself out of work most likely. It is so interwoven into the fabric of society that it cannot be put down by most anyone. Unless you can let go of the material world you will never be able to see the Spiritual World properly. End result is babble, endless arguments, division and loss of self or identity. How hard most Christian Leadership will fight to justify their rite to stay on the internet and keeping their followers close online, teaching this path to all their followers. You can't serve 2 masters. So I don't want to encourage Internet, cell phones, TV etc. at all. I am not going to be on the Internet for long but I thought I would “TRY” to shed Light on these things while I am here.
Satan and Lucifer based conscience is always very angry and non-repentive when told they need technology and materialistic things to achieve what God can do Spiritually. It is very hard to come out of Babylon-Sodom-Gomorrah.
Gabriel has already been blowing His Horn for a few years now, why is there no Great Christian News about this? If you don’t know what this is or means, ask and I’ll tell you if you’re interested.
Now the world leaders mainly want democracy and so does the church. They want a vote and a say in just about everything and if the majority wants to go a direction.....then it’s just a matter of the numbers justifying it. Democracy for abortion, war, LBTGQ etc. the Falling away, the problem is God is not based on a democracy. It was just a matter of time that before Yoshua’s teachings are made into something bad by the majority and now we are here at a very important crossroads. Like in the Days of Noah or Sodom and Gomorrah.
I got saved in 1966 the year before Jerusalem was restored to Israel. I often wandered what significance that meant in relationship to Luke’s writing about the end of the age of the gentiles.

Luke 21:24 They will fall by the edge of the sword, and will be led captive into all the nations. Jerusalem will be trampled down by the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.
In my opinion there is a different type of Christian before that line was drawn, then after. There was a different type of preaching before than after although there were elements of both on either side of that timeline, maybe going back to 1948. It would seem to me that Fear of the Lord was not taught in the same ways and has deteriorated ever since.
1967 The Summer of Love.
Love not fear was taught in such a way that it was used to put the church to sleep. Go to sleep for another week. The lukewarm Church and the One that is married to the world has allowed the love of the world to creep into the Seminaries and teachings for many years and put that infected yeast into the loaf.
Another way of confusing Christian People is the fact that through time there has been many layers of deceptions and proud boaster's thinking that they know the way, teaching this for so long, much like the example of an onion with a multitude of layers of skins hiding something within.
If you push the lesser laws on God’s people over the greater laws you will cause God’s People to stumble in these deceptive times. See the parade from beginning to end from the view like, on top of a high hill, rather than be a part of the parade-charade only seeing the float in front of you and the one behind you.
God will destroy ALL who destroy this Earth or work for that which is destroying the Earth and cause His People to Stumble and follow different Idols and transgressions. Here are some scriptures that point to this:
Revelation 11:18 The nations were angry, and Your wrath has come, And the time of the dead, that they should be judged, And that You should reward Your servants the prophets and the saints, And those who fear Your name, small and great, And should destroy those who destroy the earth.
Matthew 18:6 “If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in me—to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.”
Matthew 7:1 Judge not, that ye be not judged.
Matthew 16:23 But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.
Romans 14:3 Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not; and let not him which eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath received him.
1 Corinthians 8:9 But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumblingblock to them that are weak.
1 Corinthians 8:13 Wherefore, if meat make my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh while the world standeth, lest I make my brother to offend.
Romans 1:1 Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God,
Romans 14:12 So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.
Romans 14:11 For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.
Romans 14:10 But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.
Romans 14:14 I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean.
Romans 14:15 But if thy brother be grieved with thy meat, now walkest thou not charitably. Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died."But woe to you, scribes and Matthew 23:13 Pharisees, hypocrites, because you shut off the kingdom of heaven from people; for you do not enter in yourselves, nor do you allow those who are entering to go in.
Luke 11:52 “Woe to you experts in the law! You have taken away the key of knowledge! You didn’t go in yourselves, and you hindered those who were going in.”

1 John 2:10 10Anyone who loves their brother and sister lives in the light, and there is nothing in them to make them stumble.
Once you’ve been told about the need to change, you are conscience of it and have to act on that conscience.

"...then the heavenly hosts shall raise their voices and the everlasting foundations shall melt and quake. The war of the heroes of heaven shall spread over the world and shall not return until annihilation that has been determined from eternity is completed. Nothing like this has ever occurred."--From The Thanksgiving Song, from the Dead Sea Scrolls
Hebrews 10:26 If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left, but only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire that will consume the enemies of God.
2 Peter 2:20 If indeed they have escaped the corruption of the world through the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, only to be entangled and overcome by it again, their final condition is worse than it was at first.

How is technology evil, when you have used it to spread what you feel is a good message? It is a platform, much like money it is amoral (neither good or evil) but what you do with it determines its value.

How can you speak to it’s evils at the same time using it for your perceived good?

What the internet has done is allowed more communication on a grander scale, and allow people to reach others with services or information they were ignorant to. It’s done more than that as it has integrated into our daily lives, but your job then should be to see how this technology can be used to glorify God.

A pen 🖊 has been used for both good and evil, but the pen is not evil only the author of whatever nefarious teachings or ideologies they wrote. Yet too writing has been used for good, even to the printing of the Bible.

This is like avoiding the market square in times of old, where people met (and could be preached to). People meet online now, and if you abandon it, what voice will they hear? Not the Gospel.

Consider that technology and innovation come from God, and He bestows wisdom upon mankind. These things you should embrace and see what the Lord is doing through this medium of media (TV, social media, videos, books, etc). Media is a means of expression and if you denounce media, you’ve limited your expression and reach.

While technology can be useful in proselytizing(Printing press of 1440) it can also become an idol. Cellular phones probably being the most. I know I don’t go anywhere without it as it has been become an important asset, but I don’t put my faith in it.

Edited/ in large part deleted, due to character number preventing a reply.

Interesting perspective.
After you deliver your message to the Christian forums you believe should hear this, are you going off the grid?

All inventions and technologies are essentially neutral. They can be used for either good over evil. The unbelieving world (under the influence of Satan) uses them for evil and for deception. But the saints of God can use them all for good.

However the Amish (for example) reject all modern inventions and conveniences. Perhaps they base this on Ecclesiastes 7:29: Lo, this only have I found, that God hath made man upright; but they have sought out many inventions.*

*Strong's Concordance
chishshabon: device, invention
Original Word: חִשָּׁבּוֹן
Part of Speech: Noun Masculine
Transliteration: chishshabon
Phonetic Spelling: (khish-shaw-bone')
Definition: device, invention


Several modern translation say "schemes". But the word means "inventions" or devices created by the inventiveness of men. So what this verse is telling us that because of the sinfulness of mankind, human inventions are generally turned to unrighteous uses, rather than righteous.

Attachment to iPhones has literally become an addiction (and should be treated as one). And because of it there are now laws for distracted driving (which are often ignored). Then you have people on the streets with their eyes glued to their phones instead of watching where they are going. No doubt many accidents have occurred because of this stupidity.

Welcome to CC...

Allow me to offer a few tips:
Use a smaller font *(size 15), and don't put everything in bold-face type. Imagine reading a newspaper page filled only with headline-size type.

Include blank lines. Many people will only see a "wall of text" and not bother reading your post, regardless of the subject.

Don't come in swinging a club. This is a community, not a congregation for you to preach at.

As to the content of your post, the following is hypocritical:

"I’ve involved myself on Christian Forums for the first time in my life starting in Dec. 2019.
It is my conscience that TV’s, Computers, Internet, Cell Phones, Artificial Intelligence, a lot of Man created Technologies, … are stumbling blocks put in front of God’s People. A part of the Endtimes Strong Delusion"


If you are so convinced that digital technology is gravely dangerous, YOU need to avoid it. Don't justify your sin (per Romans 14) to dump condemnation on others. My conscience doesn't condemn me, and my use of digital technology doesn't affect you.

It has become a real issue when families will gather at the table at Thanksgiving and instead of talking to one another they text while at the same table.
We've seen this happen at a club we're members of as well. Unbelievable.

Thankyou for all your comments.
Cities are a blessing. If the virus on the news gets loose in your city you could be in for trouble.
Same can be said of our inventions like the 5g network you don't have a choice in because putting down your phones is hard for all it would seem. How could man ever survived before artificial light and life? All the thousands of years without an Internet or a phone wow.

It's easy to blame stuff rather than sinful people. That's called self justification, which is also sin. Like I said idolatry was here before phones and electric lights.

It's where technology leads you that I point to. if not in your generation then think about the future ones. We don't know where technology will go the same way as when giving your son let say a hammer

There is nothing to stop you (or anyone else) from walking away from all this and going into the wilderness. There are always choices. Snail mail is still around also.

The real problem is the herd mentality which is drilled into young people and carries through into life. Everyone wants to be a copy cat. Faddism is deliberately promoted by commercial enterprises, but no one needs to follow fads. The TV can be turned off and left off as long as one chooses. iPhones started out as a fad and now they are an actual addiction - just like drugs, dope, alcohol, gambling, etc. Flip phones were just fine and they can still be purchased.

Yes I am out in the wilderness. Breaking away was hard for me at first and up into Dec last year 2019 I never involved myself with forums and chat. I go to town twice a month no TV. I thought I would try though for the benifit of others, I won't be here long.
