'It is just the internet, I don't care...' Really?

Usually I like discussing Yeshua's words in context or to speak about things I experienced with the Almighty, but today I would like to discuss a common issue very few people are paying attention to.
Within the last decade, our world has changed drastically in terms of technology progress. The use of the internet eases our communication, yet this useful tool happens to be misused in many ways.

How many times have you heard: ' Oh, it is just the internet! Why care?'

Well, maybe you are right, but not always!

A lot of people think that they are very secure behind their keyboards, which is also the reason why they allow themselves to be very arrogant. Not seeing the person they are insulting or abusing is a pretext to utter demeaning words.

You, who are securely hiding behind your keyboard, have you ever considered that the person you are hurting is a REAL person?
Have you have thought that the virtual harm you are doing could lead a fragile person to suicide?

Have you ever thought that-behind your keyboard- while lying to a fellow contact, that you could ruin their lives?

You masterthief, who are pretending to be a servant of the Lord and who are extorting people with fake donation demands, have you ever thought that, -even if your con is a success- that you are failing in the eyes of the Lord? Does the thought of divine judgment not scare you in the least?

You may escape jail, but you will not escape the Almighty's judgment, in this world and in the world to come!

You, who are hiding behind your computer spreading free hatred of any kind,  are you really conscious of the harm you are doing?

There are two rules each individual should abide:

1. a good action in the virtual world/ in the real world is a GOOD action
2. an evil action in the virtual world/ in the real world equals an EVIL action

It may just 'be the internet', but for your words and deeds on the internet you will be judged as well!
