annigma Novi, MI age: 32	Even though we're supposed to try to use everything for good, I've heard in the past by some ministers that the internet is actually some ungodly device and 'tool of the devil's'.... Would you agree with this objectively?

royr1 Saltillo, MS age: 39	I definately don't believe that the internet is evil. It isn't even alive. Anyone who thinks that it is evil should rethink their position. If I did agree with those who believe it's evil then, I wouldn't be writting this in the first place.

knightnyte2 Spring, TX age: 55	ann, i love when I see and hear stuff like this. Almost as good as the ole Baptist ministers preaching fire and brimstone against drinking, but, well, my dad kept a little nip in the house, and the preacher wasn't above a little toddy to clean the pipes, so to speak. I havent picked up a dictionary in years. I haven't purchased a key map or road maps in years. If I wish to find some information about something, I google it. I even use the internet for my Bible references when I'm online. http://blueletterbible.org/. Yet, when I get off this site, and I do understand Dustin needs to make the site profitable, I get tons of advertising for the knock-off watches in my email. I even get the porn sites advertising. Who knows where all that crap comes from. These ministers dig for stuff to make points with their audiences. I do not know what I would do without the internet. I pay 99% of my bills online. I do my checking account online. I send emails instead of letters to people now. I even use the internet for my phone service and save 50% of AT&T's service. I get maybe 2 bills a month via mail, and the rest is junk mail. I would love for my water company to accept online payments and I wouldn't have to even bother with purchasing stamps anymore. oh, the internet can be evil in the wrong hands, but then so can most other things.

The same people that claim the things you said are also the same folks that were completely convinced that the Y2K “bug” was the plan of Satan to crash the world's communications and infrastructure and begin the reign of the Antichrist. All the Y2K “bug” ever did was cause the wrong date to appear when stamped to text documents written in a few word processors. Jesus told us that if a prophet is wrong once then his predictions come from his own thinking, not from God. The man you speak of didn't even come up with the Y2K idea, he was trusting the rumors, myth repeaters and fear mongers, and it "sounded right" to him without actually investigating the technology behind the myths. ------------------- Tools are not evil and Satan can not “inhabit” an inanimate object. It is how people let Satan influence them to use the tools of man that can be evil. Evil can come through your front door; that doesn't make your front door evil or the work of Satan. ------------------- Knight; A good web site, strictly for an archive of the King James Version Bible (it also includes the books of the Apocrypha); http://etext.virginia.edu/kjv.browse.html Owned by University of Virginia Library with not even a hint of advertising!Even has a word and phrase search. This, Annigma; the exchange of written documents, scientific ideas, and yearly studies papers, shared between education institutions, is why the Internet was born in the first place back in the mid '80s!

I heard Pastor Jack VanImpe from tv say, with some mathamatical quotient they use to figure out numbers of words, the number of the computer is 666! In addition to that, also is 666 is New York (City? IDR), World Trade Center to name a few lol! This is why I'm just gonna be cautious! Jack Van Impe is not someone I would listen too. He has spoken many false prophecies that have not come to pass. The test for a prophet is that he must be right 100% of the time.

We all are Human beings and imperfect. And are you sure that you are right? And no the internet is not evil.

With respect offered to all, royr1, you are right in saying saying nobody is right 100% of the time. However, a true Prophet from God will be right 100% of the time. In my humble opinion, I see so many evangelist on tv quoting Bible, using verses in a context that was never meant to be used. The problem we, as Christians, have, is not so much our faith as those who twist the Word of God. When one claims to be speaking for God, you best have your ducks in a row with God. For the love of money, we have so many evangelist who make themselves equal to God. Maybe some of these folks need to hush and listen to God a bit more, instead of making stuff up...

captpappy Morgan City, LA age: 54	I used to watch Jack Van Impy, but stopped just before 2000 because of his insistence that the Y2K bug was part of Satan's plan. Being an electronic tech and a bit of a computer “nerd” I knew that his ranting about this was all hype from the fear mongers. I even wrote him a letter to show him that what he was predicting was wrong! Jack Van Impy never claimed to be a profit. He, like many others today, read the Bible and attempt to understand the prophetic visions of the prophets and relate it to todays conditions. As an Interpreter, I credit Dr. Van Impy with many correct interpretations. An interpreter uses words like “I think ...”, “In my opinion ...”, “This may mean ...”, “If this happens then this could be ...”. These words imply that the one interpreting is warning that he is human and possibly incorrect and gives the one listening the opportunity to decide for himself. This may seem an argument of semantics, but we all have a latent knowledge of language. Whether we intellectually understand the language of this “implication” or not, we still instinctively understand what these words mean. Quote from royr1: You don't get it! Nobody is right 100% of the time. We all are Human beings and imperfect. And are you sure that you are right? Yes we DO "get it" - straight from Jesus! When Dr. Van Impy began saying “This WILL happen” he crossed the line from being one who interprets the Bible, where one is allowed to be human and fallible, to one who predicts – a profit! At that point , according to Jesus, he MUST be correct 100 % or we are to discount him totally. Jack Van Impy's prediction was wrong. There were many people who altered their lives because they believed his predictions, so NO, a prophet is NOT ALLOWED to be wrong! [Edited 8/27/2008 11:39:50 AM]

llfuzzball Denver, CO age: 43	He also said the Soviet flag would be flying over the capitol several years ago. When did that happen?
8/27/2008 1:46:59 PM	is the internet "evil"?
captpappy Morgan City, LA age: 54	I think he was also convinced that the Chinese Army would invade US soil. ... but in keeping with my earlier post, I don't recall that he actually said this WOULD happen, merely that it was a possibility. Frankly, I personally (implies that I might be wrong) don't fear any one particular country's flag flying over the US, I fear the flag of a globally recognized, global governing body flying along side or above the US flag with the bear, the lion and the leopard as it's symbol. Take THAT for what it's worth! I also apologize for my spell checker. I was going to edit the missuse of "profit". However, in this case the word "prophet" being changed to the word "profit" may have been a side comment by my computer! [Edited 8/27/2008 2:05:53 PM]

royr1 Saltillo, MS age: 39	Knightnyte2, you are wrong about a teacher of the Word being right 100% of the time. They are human like the rest of us. I know that God does hold anyone who teaches his word tho a higher standard than thoses who don't and that's why they need to be carefull that they are teaching what's right but, they still are human. Now back to the subject.
