However, I sit here using a computer and my furnace is running and keeping me warm; I have a car out in the driveway and later today I will go and use my debit card at K-Mart to buy some Boylan’s Natural Root Beer sweetened with pure cane sugar, and then I will go to work and log in on the computer and punch in to start my day, et cetera.

Hi Joya,
Thank you for your kind reply.

Please let me change my tune a bit. It is not my suggestion that technology is in and of itself evil. Our Father has made us wondrously, and a big part of all of us is the inquisitive and artistic- It is natural within us to figure thing out, to innovate. It is more the orchestration and direction of our invention that I accuse.

We suppose that one technological leap naturally leads to the next, but in the context of this thread, I believe that the bleeding edge of our technology is an orchestration. We are being lead toward some predetermined end that will not be to our liking. It is likely that end will come upon us unawares, blinded as we are by our own hubris.

As an aside, living like the Amish can be nothing but an admirable trait. I have lived something close to that lifestyle, and it is one I would much prefer. Our conveniences are not what they seem, often causing complications that defeat the reason for the convenience in the first place.

It is an oddity of our existence that we do for fun those things we used to do for survival- Foregoing those fun necessities for the nine-to-five grind in order to pay for the conveniences that keep us enslaved. It is so silly.

I agree with you, roamer_1.

It’s a marvelous thing to drive past an Amish homestead and to note they have NO electrical lines, and to see them going along the side of the road in their buggies and to think of the life they must live. For me, my focus is on being an overcomer to the end, with or without modern conveniences.

I agree there are Difficult Times ahead. In Luke 18, Jesus asked, Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth?

When Noah built the ark, everybody laughed at him. When you and I and folks like us live fearing God and refusing to call evil good and good evil, they’ll laugh at us. Will we remain standing till the end?
