Controlling the Christian Narrative

timothyu said:

What will happen when the world cyber church starts having it's content censored to suit the wishes of the World Government of Corporatism by way of Facebook or whatever it is called now? (just as it did over covid, elections, etc to control the narrative) In this logical next step of adversarial thinking to the will of God, will the resulting form of Christianity serve the Kingdom or the world of man?

When it came time for Hillsong’s grand opening in June, the church issued a news release saying it was “partnering with Facebook” and began streaming its services exclusively on the platform.

Beyond that, Mr. Collier could not share many specifics — he had signed a nondisclosure agreement.

^There^ is your issue. The problem isn't censorship; it's corporatism.

If you're worried about censorship, there are tons of ways to upload media content that don't involved Facebook (which is a terrible platform for distributing video anyways)

It will be nothing compared to when the radical left attempts to declare the gospel to be hate speech and those who confess Christ to be domestic terrorists.
It is coming.

Control the narrative and thereby control the people .... right now via the net there is great opportunity (a door) to get the gospel out across the world ..... also no doubt there will come a time where that door of opportunity will be shut.

I agree with some of the concerns about privacy and advertising that appear later in the article. One of Facebook's goals, as a for-profit corporation, is to collect user data and sell it to advertisers. I have visions of sermons and the Eucharist being interrupted by "Suggested for you: Smith's Church Supplies. Bibles now 20% off, today only!"

I suppose it's the modern version of televangelism. Instead of phone banks collecting pledges in their 700 Club telethon, now it's Facebook ads.

I've been grateful that my church has been able to communicate with people over Zoom, TikTok, and, yes, Facebook during these long months of social distancing, and I think our parish will continue to use some of these communications media to reach people in the future, as we've been pretty successful. But it's important to watch the money, and to pull back when the temple gets too populated with moneychangers.

No .... it's an inside job (through deceptive teachings) .... persecution will come from a religious power joining with a political power.
(same type of example of the Jews and Pilot)

Same type of scenario will happen again on a global level ... the religious power will not be through the Jews however.

As a non-religious person, I have to say, this sounds all too likely.

Which has already happened with Corporatism and is being shown in this cyber plan.

certainly is a vehicle going down that road

Oh it’s going to be more antichrists... im so surprised
If you really want to have biblical service, I recommend meeting in home with other bible believers where the Holy Spirit dwells.
