[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css="" css_animation="none"]

# Summary This presentation discusses the impact of digital technology on modern life and how it relates to the teachings of the Bible. The presenter explores the significant advancements in technology over the past few decades and how they compare to the ancient world described in the Bible. ### Highlights 🔍 The Bible does not mention modern technology like computers, mobile phones, or the internet, yet these technologies play a crucial role in everyday life today. 🔍 The presenter argues that the Bible does not condemn new or modern technologies as inherently sinful, as long as they are used responsibly and not abused. 🔍 The presenter cites examples from the Bible, such as King Uzziah's use of "engines invented by cunning men" and Jesus reading from a scroll in the synagogue, to demonstrate that the Bible does not reject technological progress. 🔍 The presenter highlights the biblical prophecy in Daniel 12:4, which foretells a time of increased knowledge and mobility, which the presenter believes describes the modern world. 🔍 The presenter cautions against the dangers of digital technology, such as addiction and the spread of misinformation, and encourages the audience to prioritise the study of the Bible over the pursuit of trivial online activities. 🔍 The presenter emphasises the importance of using digital technology responsibly and not becoming enslaved by it, drawing on the biblical principle of serving God rather than worldly desires. 🔍 The presenter suggests that in the future Kingdom of God, the old ways, including modern technologies, will be done away with, and a new, transformed world will be established. # Keywords - Digital technology - Bible interpretation - Technological progress [embedyt] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nrryko9yLNo[/embedyt][/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css_animation="none"]*************************************************************************************** This video was produced by the ChristadelphianVideo.org project, arranged and supported by Christadelphians worldwide.
