Talking about something that is happening that I don’t like, that pains my heart whenever i see it,
it concerns our religion, it affects the way we do media evangelism, sometimes I see it as ignorance, sometimes I see it as mockery, sometimes as a sin, and sometimes as scam.
Am talking about:
1. People posting the picture of Jesus Christ with text like this;
“Ignore if u hate God or type amen if u like God..”
“Type Amen and see what God will do for you”
2. People posting the picture of Jesus Christ and Satan together with text like this;
“Type Amen if you love God or Ignore it if you love Satan”
3. Facebook Posts Threatening 7 Years of Bad Luck For Not Typing Amen or Liking
How can you be judging people that way, making them to feel guilt.
I have come to realize that most people type Amen or like out of their own will, they are only afraid of God, so their actions are out of fear of not annoying God.
EFFECTECTS.
A. IT’S TURNING PEOPLE AWAY FROM THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST
We shouldn’t judge the message of the Gospel by its good factor, we certainly don’t need to add negative stuff to our message in order to make it harder to follow Jesus. The path is narrow enough as it is... lol.
B. IT’S SPIRITUALLY MANIPULATIVE
These kinds of posts build up the mother of all false contradictions. “You can share it and be a Good Christian, or if you can keep scrolling and side with the Devil.” There is no room for any other alternative.
Whenever we try to influence someone’s behaviour through spiritual guilt we are manipulating them. Jesus never uses guilt. Whether you type amen or chose to move on to the next post will have no bearing whatsoever in the way God sees you.
C. SCAMMERS
Beware of deceitful Facebook users who are posting pictures of sick, starving, dead and injured children, adults or animals on Facebook, to trick other Facebook users into commenting on them by typing "Amen," in order to make them popular. This type of activity is another Like-Farming scam, and the photos in them are being used without the owners' consent. The heartless and deceitful people who are tricking Facebook users into typing "Amen" are only taking advantage of caring Facebook users, who think they are helping out, by playing with their consciences. The scam may also ask Facebook users to compliment a child, an adult or an animal, or type "Amen" to be grateful for something.
Scammers use the posts to gather up potential victims. Once they have enough Facebook users, they will start sending them spam (unsolicited messages) with links that will take potential victims to phishing websites that will steal their information, or malicious links that will take them to dangerous websites that will infect their computers with Spyware or Trojan horse

So who are you to bring enmity between Man and God?
Christianity and human faith is not what we toy with.
Sometimes I ask myself if I see these things in other religions too..
Let’s be mature and respect our religion...
