Can We Judged By What We Post Or Comment On The Internet? by Feranmicharles(m): 12:01pm On Apr 17, 2016
Just wondering if God will also judge us by what we do post online or upload,cos there are some sinful acts online. So my dear brothers/sisters,kindly air your view pls. Is He going to judge us based on the things we do on the internet too on judgment day?

I believe you already know the answer to your question. Lustful thoughts and idle words are judged, let alone something that you typed and is read by thousands of people.

Yes. Man is not only judged by what he writes, but he goes further in bearing the responsibility for those who went astray through reading his posts as long as his writings go on in it's influence on people.

He is not free until the last of them is saved. Even if it takes centuries. Even if he has departed this earth and enters in the beyond, they are tied to him strongly. His soul will not have peace until he help in freeing the last of those he led astray.

That is why Christ had to say; "But if you cause one of these little ones who trusts in me to fall into sin, it would be better for you to be thrown into the sea with a large millstone hung around your neck".

By "little ones" he did not mean only "kids",grown ups are also included, as we are all children before God.

If posting online is a part of our daily lives, then "yes" He absolutely will judge what we post.
Not only will He judge what we post, but ALSO the intent/motives behind it. It will all come into play as He judges the lives we have lived on earth.

Matthew 5:28 (KJV)

28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.

1 Samuel 16:7 (KJV)

7 But the Lord said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart

Proverbs 4:23 (KJV)

23 Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.

It's one thing to be struggling in the inner recesses on one's own heart, but another thing altogether to lead others astray...or into one's mess.
It's also one thing to post something honestly & sincerely (which may seem ignorant to some), and another to deliberately post stuff to cause strife.
I've had to check myself...many times in life...about the motive behind doing something.
Even here on N.L...in my past life. I've posted and wished I could erase.
I still don't always get it right.
Ask yourself why you want to post a particular thing?
Also if it's edifying or destructive?
Christians have to be sensitive to the leading of the Holy Spirit when online.

I dont care.


That's not my priority at the moment, I'm not one of those who make it a habit to be judgemental.

I preach when necessary, other times I correct you if you need correction. Besides that I am not into nitpicking at the risk of my mental wellbeing.

Use I and me instead of us, aa jowaye.

If you're worried about what you post then just check the previous post before mine and do like whatever that person is saying. Namely dont do or say anything you consider a sin.

Collaborating what eviana wrote here, everyone shall be held responsible for whatever he/she says or write.

Matthew 12:36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.

One does not write or say something out of the blue moon. It takes the heart of such person to process what is being written or said

Proverbs 4:23 Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.

Matthew 12:31

And so I tell you, every kind of sin and slander can be forgiven

actually, the Bible is outdated that is why questions like this arise.
If the bible was written today, it will contain some useful information on masturbation, abortion (Which was impossible in bible times), elections and other technology related issues.

modified: And I don't think angel Michael will be shown to use Sword. Maybe an AR15 or something better will do

Wrong notion bro.

The one who knows the end from the beginning inspired those who wrote the Bible, so the Bible captured all things, the past, the present and the future.

What other clarification do you want on anortion after the scripture has said thou shall no kill.

The issue is that human being want to satisfy themselves.

Thanks for asking.

You know there are some statements or write up which if not checked out by some readers or listerners, they may be termed as lies or deceptions.

The scripture says in

Deuteronomy 13:14 a, Then shalt thou enquire, and make search, and ask diligently; and, behold, if it be truth.....

14 Then shalt thou enquire, and make search, and ask diligently; and, behold, if it be truth, and the thing certain, that such abomination is wrought among you;


15 Thou shalt surely smite the inhabitants of that city with the edge of the sword, destroying it utterly, and all that is therein, and the cattle thereof, with the edge of the sword.

16 And thou shalt gather all the spoil of it into the midst of the street thereof, and shalt burn with fire the city, and all the spoil thereof every whit, for the Lord thy God: and it shall be an heap for ever; it shall not be built again.

17 And there shall cleave nought of the cursed thing to thine hand: that the Lord may turn from the fierceness of his anger, and shew thee mercy, and have compassion upon thee, and multiply thee, as he hath sworn unto thy fathers;

18 When thou shalt hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God, to keep all his commandments which I command thee this day, to do that which is right in the eyes of the Lord thy God.


Wow...a lot was going on in that scripture passage.
Seems as if you forgot to post the rest of Deuteronomy 13:14 (which I highlighted) plus the rest of the entire scripture passage....
This was speaking about testing a "prophet"...
I appreciate your attempt to illustrate, but (with all due respect), let's try to use scripture verses appropriately wink

My number one rule for information on the internet in general, specifically nairaland, is always assume its false unless you either personally know it to be true or unless proven otherwise.

This is especially as regards slander.

Another general rule I follow is dont make what's not your business, your concern. I know it would be difficult in a gossiping context.

Got you, that is why i used that portion of the verse only, juat to justify why one need to verify a statement whether it is a lie or not.
