So by your reasoning that all tech is created by God and is therefore good in some way, what about these vaccines that people have already died from? What about man-made diseases. Nuclear bombs? Are these things good? What about genetically modifying food that strips it of its nutritional value and is contributing to food intolerances and food allergies? Are these things good, or are the basic fundamental things God created good?
This is the problem I have with this premise.
And I'm not saying all tech is evil, but the more technology we have gotten, the more control the gov't has over our lives. They can now track us everywhere we go, they listen in to every conversation we have, and we have become dependent on this new technology. My husband is very techy, and he sees the difference in computers from back in the 80's and 90's. He could get in them and change things. As he puts it, the power was with the user, and over the years that has switched. Now the power is with the tech companies. Cars used to be run all mechanically, now they are run on computers. Makes them much harder to fix and an EMP strike could take them out. I just see that more technology has made us all more dependent and given the gov't more control over our every day lives.
So no, not ALL technology is inherently evil, but I think it's naive to believe there aren't things that are created by men that are only evil. What about abortion technology? Where is the good in that?
So by your reasoning that all tech is created by God and is therefore good in some way,
Yes, to every coin there are two sides.
what about these vaccines that people have already died from?
What about the vaccines that saved millions of lives?
What about man-made diseases.
They allow the study of disease in general and hence a future in which disease no longer exists. "Thy kingdom come, as in heaven, so on earth".
Nuclear bombs?
The science behind it enables the overwhelming majority of what makes life with billions of people on earth possible without mass starvation and poverty.
The bombs in particular are drastically lowering the probability of another world war and hence total annihilation.
You can also argue that humanity has learned numerous lessons from the travesties past. If God came to earth in the form of Jesus, how do you know how many people are "real humans" and not God in disguise bringing his teachings?
What about genetically modifying food that strips it of its nutritional value and is contributing to food intolerances and food allergies?
You can also genetically modify food to maximize for nutrition and health.
Right now we're at a point where the population exploded from nothing to almost 10 billion. You can't ensure the survival of so many without maximizing for yield first. Once we step over this hurdle and yield becomes a non-issue, we will invariably begin maximizing for nutrition and health. People do this by voting with their wallets, and if people can't afford organic food then they will happily take any food so that they can survive.
You can't sustain the planet on grass-fed beef, at least not until we make another few breakthroughs (which I am >80% certain that we will within our lifetimes).
Are these things good, or are the basic fundamental things God created good?
When God gives you a knife it's up to you whether you want to use it as a tool or to cut yourself.
If you cut yourself you still teach others about the consequences.
And I'm not saying all tech is evil, but the more technology we have gotten, the more control the gov't has over our lives.
That's because people are voting for more government. And people on our side also carry some blame for this by giving so much ground to evil.
You can enjoy your life in a nice cabin in the woods, but don't delude yourself into believing that you haven't run away from carrying your responsibility for the state of the world.
They can now track us everywhere we go, they listen in to every conversation we have, and we have become dependent on this new technology.
You're making my point for me.
There are all sorts of tools that allow you to block them out of your life.
It's up to us to ensure that we have the upper hand and use God's gifts for good as opposed to letting the devils run loose.
He could get in them and change things.
You still can. Just stop using Windows & co or use any array of countermeasures if you e.g. want to run software that only runs on Windows. And even on Windows you can get into the "heart" of the system, although at that point you're better off just using Linux.
Now the power is with the tech companies.
Only in so far as people are freely handing it over. Nobody is stopping anyone from creating a non-crooked company. In fact, now is the best time to start competing with the Goliath. Hundreds of millions of patriots worldwide are waiting for an exit from all things globalist cabal.
but I think it's naive to believe there aren't things that are created by men that are only evil.
See above, there's always another perspective.
What about abortion technology? Where is the good in that?
If a woman is pregnant with a dead fetus she will get an infection and be at risk of death without an abortion.
God created the world and said that his creation was good, but then the fall happened. Sin entered the world and now we exist with evil.
The Mark of the Beast is going to be some type of technology. Now is every technology evil... of course not, but I vehemently disagree with your premise that every piece of technology is from God. I think that is a very dangerous mindset because the Mark of the Beast is coming and we must have discernment when looking at technology. And while there may be lots of benefits, I try to look at how that technology could be used in harmful ways or in ways to restrict my personal freedoms.
Like their talk of COVID vaccination passports or even microchips that can be scanned to tell people whether or not we have gotten vaccines. All I see is horrors from technology like this. In my opinion, it's a risk/benefit analysis for everything. Robot vacuum cleaner... low risk. COVID vaccine that can change our genes and potentially cause sterility and who knows what else.... BIG risk with no discernable benefits since after the vaccine you can still get and pass on COVID.
I just think the idea that all technology is good is very dangerous and is exactly what will lead many people into accepting the mark of the beast. So I use discernment and look at if a technology has more risk to me than benefits.
At the end of the day, everyone can make their own personal decisions about what to use or get. I just know that Satan is in the world and he influences people to create and use technology in very evil ways. And we have already received words from God of what is to come.

The Parousia begins in Racine, Wisconsin by exposing the “root” and model for the real agenda of Eternal Enslavement with the Mark of the Beast.
The Truth has been shared since The Beginning.
I have no idea what any of that means. I've heard references to Racine, but I don't know anything about it.
