The Internet Is Full Of Forbidden Fruit: DON’T EAT IT!
The Bible says that in the end times, many religious deceptions will come that may even deceive seasoned Christians. Therefore we must be careful what we read on the internet. The internet is a “Tree Of Knowledge” just like the tree that Adam and Eve ate from that gave them knowledge of sin which led to their death. If Adam and Eve had stuck to the trees they were given by GOD, they would not have been deceived, but because they desired “higher knowledge” from the serpent they fell and were defiled. The Bible is the tree we have been given by GOD to eat from, but the internet is the “tree of knowledge”. The fruit of the tree of knowledge is sweet to the taste but bitter in the stomach like the scroll/book that was eaten by John in the book Revelation.
Revelation 10:9 So I went to the angel and said to him, “Give me the little book.” And he said to me, “Take and eat it; and it will make your stomach bitter, but it will be as sweet as honey in your mouth.”
The knowledge from the internet taste sweet, it enlightens you, it exalts you above your brothers and sisters with knowledge, it allows you to be the possessor of a secret, and a bearer of a higher truth. However, when you swallow this knowledge you are puffed up with pride, arrogant, and then separated from your brothers. Is it worth it? What do you think Adam and Eve would say if you could ask them if was it worth it to gain this higher knowledge? If getting into heaven required a person to be intelligent which of us could enter? Who is so bold they can stand before the all-knowing GOD and boast about their intelligence? Did you read when Job questioned GOD and GOD answered him in Job Chapters 38-42? Was Job not silenced?
Job 38:1-3 “Then the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said: “Who is this who darkens counsel By words without knowledge? Now prepare yourself like a man; I will question you, and you shall answer Me.”
The internet is also like the “Tower of Babel” in the Bible in which all the languages were confused so all the men in the world became divided. Men could no longer work together because they were separated into different groups based on their languages. Now the internet is filled with so much new information, and new language, some true, but the majority false and now people no longer know what they should believe. People are separated into various factions and groups based on all these different understandings and different knowledge. Is Christ divided? Why have we allowed “Knowledge to separate us the same way knowledge separated Adam and Eve from God?
1 Corinthians 1:10 “Now I plead with you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.”
I have family members and friends who watch new reels on Instagram or TikTok and send them to me and say “What about this? Is this true? What about that? I’m confused” The Bible says that GOD is not the author of confusion therefore if someone is confused it means there is a spiritual enemy that is working in their life to keep them from the truth.
1 Corinthians 14:33 “For God is not a God of disorder but of peace—as in all the congregations of the Lord’s people.”
Those with “Knowledge” are divided and those without “knowledge” are confused because of the division amongst their leaders. Is this the will of GOD for us? Are we still sinners? Fighting, and exalting ourselves above one another? Are we serious as Christians? The Internet is the devil’s field, the internet is the devil’s tree, therefore be careful how you use this Internet. On the Google homepage, there are flags to celebrate homosexuality and there’s a celebration of many pagan things so who do you think owns Google? The devil ya? Facebook and instagram is now owned by “Meta” and Meta means “Death” in Hebrew so who do you think owns Facebook? Therefore be careful my brothers and sisters.
In Conclusion:
Remember there we are only on this earth for a short amount of time. However, the devil has been actively working against GODs people for thousands of years. Don’t you think the devil would change history in the year 412 so that the people in the year 2,000 could find it and be deceived? How can you trust history? How can you trust the random things you read or see on the internet? The Bible says many signs, miracles, and wonders will be done by false prophets and many will be deceived because people will believe their eyes instead of hiding the word of GOD in their hearts.
Psalm 119:11 – “Your word I have hidden in my heart, That I might not sin against You.”
We are approaching a time in which people will be deceived by their own eyes and ears because they don’t believe GODS word they believe what they see and what they hear. They believe Google, they believe in their own research instead of believing in what GOD has given us in this Bible. They are still following Adam and Eve toward the Tree of Knowledge. Turn away from these things my brothers and read your Bible. Learn the Bible for yourself. Don’t rely on 60-90 second Instagram/Facebook videos to teach you about GODs word.
We must be diligent and learn GODs word for ourselves. Pray for understanding of the scriptures, and commit yourself to reading 3 chapters of the Bible every day, starting from the Book of Mathew Chapter 1, straight through until Revelation. Then once you’ve read it all read it again, you will learn more each time. We can’t not trust history, we can’t trust what the internet says will happen, or what it says has happened in before times. However, what we can trust is that GOD has preserved this Bible for his children.
Many people say “Jesus name isn’t this” or “Paul isn’t that” and these have let go of GODS word to trust in internet fables. Stay away from these things and even those people who insist you follow human research instead of the Bible. GOD’s word has been preserved and it has NOT changed.
Matthew 24:35 “Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away.”
GOD has protected his WORD for us. History is not protected it’s polluted by the devil, research is not protected it’s polluted by the devil, science is not protected it has also been polluted by the devil. So why you should put faith in these things? Put your faith in GOD’s WORDS. Put your faith in the sovereign GOD who has preserved his WORDS for us so that we will have light in the darkness.
Therefore even if someone’s eyes and ears deceive them they can say “I can’t fully trust what I see or hear, I must trust GODS word. GODS Word is my instruction and that’s what I must follow”. Study your Bible-Christian family. Learn it for yourself. Not only from priests teachers or content creators. Study yourself and pray to GOD in the name of Jesus. for the Holy Spirit to guide you in understanding.
That’s all for today guys, GOD bless you all who are in Christ Jesus.
