    Christianity and Transhumanism

    We all utilize tools and tech to enhance our abilities. Some are attached to our body such as a filling in our teeth, contact lenses, or screws to help a broken bone mend. Others are not, such as a knife to cut our food or a hang glider etc. For us to delineate between the two, saying that...

    Christianity and Transhumanism

    For me personally, He was scary until I realized who He said I am. His Precious Treasure. Once I decided to believe that, at a really core level, it changed everything in my life. Literally. I had been saved for 22 years, worked in ministry, and even played Jesus in a nationwide passion...

    Well, you certainly did not answer any of the questions asked... You are loved and valuable. This is your core identity.

    Ohh my goodness... It's amazes me how much of the church is controlled by fear. It's very sad.

    Christianity and Transhumanism

    Here is the question.. Who is putting hope and trust up in man? You or me? How am I rejecting the natural state of his creation? the natural state changes continually. We now live longer, we now use computers, we now read books, we now uses phones, we now use medicine, we now use...

    Christianity and Transhumanism

    No... I don't mean "apart from the fact that it's the only way he's ever done it..." I mean that it is not in the bible. Regarding "no demonstrable evidence..." Why look to the past? That is not of faith. The Lord takes no pleasure in those who shrink back. You're looking back to...

    Christianity and Transhumanism

    Personally I don't see anywhere in the bible where God prefers our consciousness to reside in a carbon based housing over a silicone based housing. He created us as loved and valuable in the spirit. I would tend to think He would care less about what houses that spirit and care more about our...

    Christianity and Transhumanism

    That sounds like fear to me. I'm not down with fear... We are not called to cower in fear. Nor are we called to prophesy the works the enemy may do. God uses everything to bring Himself glory. I could care less if the enemy tries to use it. Every knee will bow.

    Christianity and Transhumanism

    Ok.. I see your point in that there are non-Christian transhumanists who do not give God glory. But there are also Christian ones that see a similar rollout of tech extending lives longer than the traditional 120 years, and we do give God glory. I apologize if you had not intended to group...

    Christianity and Transhumanism

    No one will ever be able to say that they have "lived forever" because "forever" never arrives. So..... All we can be talking about is extending life longer. Extended life and raising people from the dead is afforded through the tech, correct? So are Heart Defibrillators defying or...

    Christianity and Transhumanism

    He gave us gifts that are without repentance. The gift of creation of tech is from Him, not of us. You say that it is from us but it is He has given us these gifts.

    Christianity and Transhumanism

    I also agree with you regarding superstition. To me it feels like many Christians are not honest with themselves. They have heard sermons and simply believe the messages without reading their bibles and questioning the message. This is not good as it tends to cause a sort of old-wives-tales...

    Christianity and Transhumanism

    How does it make, and who says God is no longer in charge, just because we have tech that helps us live longer? Who declares that He would no longer be in charge?

    Christianity and Transhumanism

    The death spoke of in Genesis 3:4 references arguing back and forth. The knowledge of good vs evil. That is where separation exists. When we fail to build each other up in the Precious Treasures who we really are, we are dead in the spirit, walking alongside the ruler of this world.

    Christianity and Transhumanism

    Hi Yall. My name is Mark. I run a site called www.TheSingularity.com. I got saved in 92 and went to bible college in 94. I’ve been active in the church pretty much my whole adult life. Even in bible college, the teaching about the 2nd coming of Christ never sat well with me. I always...
