Hi to all
I am new here, but I am glad that there is such a forum.
There is growing concern in the church that christians are using technologies made by companies that are connected to the illuminati and the anti-Christ.
A few examples I can mention now are : Google, Microsoft, NVidia.
If you do a search for these names + "occult" or +"illuminati" you will see that connection, often through the logo itself, or the associations that the company has with other companies, the connection that it has towards inhumane wars etc.
The questions for us as christians are :
1. How do we disconnect from such companies ?
2. Can we create our own alternative technologies or services ?
3. What are the alternatives ?
The problem is that we as christians have to at times "compete" with people are who not christians. Now these non-christians spend most of their time creating and improving these technologies, whereas we need time for evangelism, church, the Bible, outreach.
I come from a background in computer science and programming, so I am capable of analytical thinking. The issue however is that I can't spend my entire life on science, since it's a means to an end. In fact there are secular christian who "idolize" science and the scientific method.
I know that God finds our technology pathetic and repulsive, but if we can pray for His permission in certain areas then we can assist the poor churches especially.
One important technology is desalination. Since water is becoming more scarce, especially in Africa, we need a way to extract pure water from the oceans, and a way to transport this water to those areas. In fact at times some of these technologies are "open source" which means that we can see how it works and maybe improve it ?
It reminds me of the situation that the Israelites faced against the ancient egyptians.
The egyptians were good at mathematics and medicine, whereas the Israelites relied mostly on faith to survive, although if they really needed the technology they simply "copied" it from the evil races.
The situation today is different, since many of the world's best scientists are Israeli, and they create the technology themselves.
The question is, will God give us the "equations" that we need if we pray for it earnestly. It reminds me of Noah's Ark. The building plans must have seemed incorrect, but since God was the designer, it was flawless.
Can the church hope for such divine intervention today ? The bible says if a nation repents God will heal their land.
I want the church to be independant off the ideologies and though processes offered by the secular world, and sometimes even other religions.
The arabs are also very good at science, and there are many shared values between christianity and Islam, despire the fact that I abore it, because I know that the Kuran was written by the devil.
Let me know what you think.
Thanks
Cheers
