This is not meant to condemn any people who already have that title, I’m just curious what the Bible says about people who have a congregation online. It’s different. I am just wondering what you guys think about it.
I’m on a server on Discord, which is an online video game chat, and they have actual sermons that are being written for the people on the site. It’s interesting, but like I said it’s kind of different. They can’t really fellowship face-to-face, they may not have any worship services or maybe they do I don’t know. I’m just intrigued. I’m sure God can call all kinds of people to different kinds of ministries, this one is just not one that has been very popular or talked about a lot so I figured I might as well get your opinions on it.
And hey if that is specifically what God called them to and that’s their calling, then let them be obedient and reach people who maybe wouldn’t be reached otherwise!
Some people say it is better the old way, like hunters that say bow hunting is the best way to go with the excuse that modern guns are evil in comparison to bows with which they used for years, and all natural, but a gun does the job faster and the deer might not suffer as much, or not suffer at all if they get a good shot in, so which is better.
Some will say it is better the old way as how they did it for years reaching out to people face to face, but if the internet is available why not use it, for some are shy but on the internet they might post, and some are shy but can look at a Christian website for it is not face to face, and many can be reached on the internet, and many subjects being discussed, and it would seem like you could learn a great deal, more than a preacher at a Church for much is being taught.
Some people think technology is evil, but it is not, but the problem with technology is it is going to cause the world to be able to come together as one because they can communicate, and travel to each other, to try to establish peace on earth but they will rebel against God, and then it is over for the rulership of the heathen on earth, but it is inevitable, and has to happen.
But evolution is why the world rebels against God as they believe people can still evolve to be greater and spiritual, and they will not acknowledge a higher power, but without technology it would not happen, so they go hand in hand, and without technology just about every nation would believe in a higher power, but that evolution theory was only a handful of people to get the ball rolling, and then became very popular.
The world rebels against God because of technology, and evolution, and without them both together it would never happen.
But the internet, and technology, is going to function, and go on, whether we agree with it or not, so we might as well use it for good as the world uses it for evil.
But we should still reach out to people in person, but in this day and age it would appear the internet reaches more people, as we can reach out to people all over the world, and all the saints could be considered evangelists, and missionaries, because they can do that.
You want to evangelize Africans, boom, you can do it, Arabs, boom, it can happen.
But I would not call myself an internet pastor, or prophet, personally, because I am humble, and do not like to come across as being special above anyone else, but if they want to call themselves that I have no problem with it.
But I know many people like attention, and will blow themselves up for the attention, which I have heard some doozy things come out of people's mouth, or rather seen from their fingertips.
But at the same time people can learn much on the internet concerning truth, many people can learn about the wrong things on the internet like the new age movement interpretation of the Bible, for which way do you go, which way do you go, for every opinion, idea, philosophy, interpretation, and belief, is all on the internet in abundance, and if people only go the internet to learn, what will they learn, as they are being pulled, and prodded, this way and that way.
