I had been posting warnings about Facebook and social media in general since close to the beginning of these posts in 2009. Facebook was started with the grand idea of humiliating college women....and it was followed by backstabbing partners. It has been an evil concept since the beginning. My initial concern was in what it would do to Christians....as they spent their time following others....to see what was new and exciting in their lives...and then try to show others how exciting their own lives were. All of this is the exact opposite of what Christians should be doing....and social media has turned out just like this....only about a hundred times worse....as new ideas for social media developed.
              Christian ministries should have seen through this but did not. They only saw how they could use Facebook et al to proclaim the gospel even more. The fundamental mistake they made was that they did not realize that God did not need them. They thought themselves too important. What they did in effect was encourage and add to the popularity of these companies and new social media ideas. They may indeed have increased their viewers....but they wound up working against the gospel that they only wanted to proclaim! 
               The initial excuse given by many Christians was that it made it much easier for their children to share new photos of the grandchildren. Well congratulations to them.....for they certainly can do that....but in the process they made it a much more dangerous world for those grandchildren!
               The problem extended into other areas....as the charge against many of the social media companies is that they planned and developed their companies with the express purpose of causing addictions in young people. The problem gets even worse as AI entered into the picture....but all of this is what man does....as he tries to become rich....and then richer.....and powerful.....and then more powerful. God's Word warns us of all of this....but we in the church.....in evangelism in general....have long ago redacted just about all of the warnings in the Bible....to clear the way for us to pursue our personal desires....and to have this new....fast food....gospelburger....done our way.
