A person must be careful when browsing the internet. However, the internet is one of the better sources of information that often does not appear in the mainstream media. Just be cautious and remember Matthew 7:15-23, Matthew 15:8 and Luke 18:9-14 when you are reading or hearing things.
11Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD: 12And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the LORD, and shall not find it.
(Christina;63762)

Great post.II Timothy 3:1 - This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.II Timothy 3:2 - For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,II Timothy 3:3 - Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,II Timothy 3:4 - Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;II Timothy 3:5 - Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.II Timothy 3:6 -For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,II Timothy 3:7 - Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

Yeah, disgusting headlines - and evidence of the cheapening of words. In addition, the presence of internet porn is probably far worse than this.But honestly, I don't see this as anything that hasn't been happening for years. And the internet is not going to kill Christianity. Jesus promised, in Matthew 16, that even the gates of hell would not prevail against His Church. If Satan himself won't be able to kill the Church, I'm pretty sure the internet won't either.

Hi eternalarcadia Because a fake christ antichrist is coming he is the father of lies and deceit and the whole world will follow after him2Th 2:9 [Even him], whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, 2Th 2:10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 2Th 2:11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 2Th 2:12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. Rev 12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. Rev 12:10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. Rev 12:12 Therefore rejoice, [ye] heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.

No, the internet is Satan's domain. Satan is the ruler of the air so most people will be deceived by him. The internet is the perfect place to reinforce Satan's deceptions and I believe, one major reason that our world is decaying as fast as it is.

I disagree. I think that the internet has given those who believe a good foundation in their faith.
We are in the endtimes and so many prophecies are being fulfilled and most people, even Christians, do not realize or believe this is happening.We have gay marriage on the verge, man gays shouldnt even have rights, but they managed to overturn all the anti gay laws.Abortion is rampant, the murder of millions of innocent children while corrupt immoral people are allowed to walk the streets.Divorce is out of hand as well as marriage for convienance instead of love.Sex outside of marriage is not only happening at an astronomical rate, it is incouraged and even taught to be appropriate to school aged kids. It is not longer an expression of married love it is more for entertainment.Laws are being passed to take away our freedoms and our ability to defend ourselves.Other religious organizations are gaining ground while the one true faith of the only true God is loosing ground, even most of whom claim to be Christians are nothing more than pagans.I am angry because the world is falling apart around me and the immoral trash is cheering it on.

Yea well, we can't help it, it's been started since Genesis 3, I take that back, it truly started at Genesis 1:2, nowhere near Genesis 1:3.

Yes yes i'm aware of the antichrist. I was just curious to why God would send a strong delusion, i just didnt read the verse in context, whoops! I guess I should have thought about it, because it resembles Romans 1:28.

Nothing can destroy Christianity. It is the only true faith the gates of Hell will not prevail against the Church.

You are correct on one hand Christianity will never be destroyed however many Christians that do not know Gods truth.. heed his warnings..many will be lost. Following men's doctrine rather than Gods Word. will lead you to Amos 8:11-12If you believe you do not need to worry about anything because your going to be raptured away, or do not know that God warns us there is a fake Jesus Christ coming first you are in danger of following Antichrist(satan)

http://bluehydra.blogspot.com/2008/11/inte...ristianity.htmlI noticed this backlink. Now I hate to even link to the site because much of what is written on there is trash, but it illustrates the point. (IE: Saying that a "Christian site" - which this is clearly a forum, and this was a post by a single person - which such an intelligent mind should be able to distinguish, theoretically.) Any person can write anything on the web. That's how it works. That's why we can have a Christian forum which is reaching souls just as easily as this person can have a blog or that person can have a site to reach other souls with the opposite message.Contrary to the (un)educated opinion fodder out there, it's nothing new under the sun. Christianity was attacked by the book long before the internet was invented. Likewise, Christianity was attacked by word-of-mouth long before books were circulating.The internet isn't "killing" Christianity more than any person or thing else. I think such an alarmist attitude is overdoing it to be honest.II Peter 3:3
Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
The problem is not just the internet. It's "them" and a "us" in that some folks are beyond reach and would rather think that they are the end-all be all to justify what they do now to be forgotten in oblivion. Hey, if you're happy with that, go for it.The other side of the coin is that Christianity is too worried about going after these immature folks that want to attack Christianity. If someone wants to waste their time making offensive posts on a Christian forum, or share stories and images just to offend, what does that really say about their life?Psalm 58:1-5
To the chief Musician, Altaschith, Michtam of David. Do ye indeed speak righteousness, O congregation? do ye judge uprightly, O ye sons of men? Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh the violence of your hands in the earth. The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies. Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: they are like the deaf adder that stoppeth her ear; Which will not hearken to the voice of charmers, charming never so wisely.
Worried about the kids?Proverbs 22:6
Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
