I am 13(almost 14) and I play vr once and a while but I would rather be in the real world with friends and family. We can’t make this become our life. It’s not real. Think about how you can make yourself whoever you want in the metaverse. Then think about taking off your headset and realizing thats not you. It will just make you put the headset back on and keep acting like another person. God created you the way you actually are and you are perfect the way you are. Nobody should say what or who you should be. Also, if you are always in vr or the metaverse then you might make this like your main “world” that you hang out in. So then you wouldn’t have time for other things like reading the bible and other important things. So yeah thats what I tried to explain.
@@SkyPMusicc And you're 13. Shame on the adults who don't realize how dangerous the metaverse is and how mad it's going to make the one True God for wanting to be in a fake world. It's a total Insult to the Lord.
The wonderful Holy Spirit off the living God has given you this revelation, how wonderful he is, and he knows your name, because you matter and you are perfectly and wonderfully make, all the power praise and Glory belong to him! God bless you and keep you always, love and hugs from new Zealand 🌏😊
Do you want to know what the Bible said about metaverse? In Hebrew means: Death Avator origin word is: Sanskrit means: descent or coming down take manifestation. We are living in bible prophecy times. This guy is a wolf in sheeps clothing. For the Lord said " do not love this world or anything in it". He also said, " come out of her my people"... Meaning whatever the world is doing... You do the opposite or the Lord's wrath will come upon you.
It is a word study fallacy to take an English word that was created in the 20th century and attribute it to a Hebrew word from 4000 years ago. Don’t read modernity into Scripture. With that being said, it seems to me that the metaverse will be like any new technology. There will be bad and good uses. How will you use it?
@@pastorjoey Are you for real? absolutely you should do word studies. you better know what words mean. I couldn't disagree with you more about Meta your deceived my friend.
@@SteveRobin1 NO. Come out of the wicked, Godless, blasphemous WORLD that is anti-God and Antichrist. And yes that does include false religions. James 4:4 4 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.
As someone who has experienced vr to an extent, I can say that it seems that to come into virtual realms as a Christian is like walking into a decadent high school party. Trans and furries are abundant. I wonder if religious speech and gathering will be allowed in the meta verse, especially considering that biblical beliefs contradict the morals of the internet culture at large
There is a church in VR. The pastor was asked to do a baptism by a youtuber and did one. It wasn't a Christian one as the youtuber isn't Christian, but more of explaining what they are. The comments were positive and apparently many non-Christians have come to services. ua-cam.com/video/N_88DBmdnNA/v-deo.html I find that I can know people better in VR than in real life, outside of close friends. People wear masks and social media and reality TV has built that up. VR strips that off. Just 2 souls sharing a space virtually as everything else is just simulation. IRL after VR people seemed like observers trapped in prisons of flesh. Like I knew they were in there, but I couldn't really sense them and their responses were very scripted like dialog responses from a non-player character in a game.
For me preaching through metaverse is nah!! Jesus himself walk by his own foot to proclaim the kingdom of God. His disciples were told to go to every corners of world to spread the good news. Paul himself did to the gentiles by his own physical body. There's no way of shortcut to preach His kingdom. If shortcut gospel was possible, His disciples would've preached through letters only, sitting at home..... A big Nah for me!!!!!!!!!
Base on personal beliefs, christians should not embraced this metaverse concept. You see as a child of God, our lives as Christians are not mere or virtual,it's actual. On hindsight, this can never replace the physical church in itself. One may argue that Technically YT is, but it's not quite...VR is just totally out of it for me. Much blessings 🙏
Christians Please make sure your reading the word Daily stay close to God. use discernment Be careful of who you follow on the internet. Remember what Jesus said in Mathew Mat 7:15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. There are so many Versus I love but one that is over looked and speaks volumes when it comes to knowing God`s word is. 2Ti 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
God just helped me get a revelation from your video. Remember the part where you said about being your own king or queen in the meta verse and being something you’re not, etc? It makes me think about how the devil kept trying to tempt Jesus to bow down to satan as king and Satan falsely promised Jesus that He would be king over all of the earth and be worshipped, that He would get anything He wants, and instead, Jesus fought temptation and said scripture from the Bible to fight off the devil. I feel the meta verse is a temptation by the devils powers. The meta verse messes so much more with your very identity. Yes people have made fake accounts etc but look at how much more “convenient” the meta verse is. If you have that type of power to magically fake who you are and feel very real about it, do you think God would want people to be lost in false identity? Absolutely not! Our TRUE identity is children of God
There are 2 things that made me realize that we as Christians should not use the metaverse at all costs. These are telepathy and teleportation. Telepathy and teleportation have been used for years by those who don't believe in God and as a child I was taught that they are forms of witchcraft. When I said this to someone they said but Jesus and Phillip were teleported or used telepathy. It is true but it was the work of The Holy Spirit. It was not the work of man who does not believe in God for that matter. I have had a lot of Revelations from God since before covid. I met someone who told me that he uses telepathy to assist people to talk directly with God but the person said they use the code, 666 only for the good. He then said to me that I already have the code in the firm of the cellphone. I did not understand it then but now with neuralink and the metaverse, I see the cell phone coming to the people's heads. I also watched a few episodes of "Black mirror" on Netflix and saw that most of the things happening in technology have been written as movies and the metaverse is one of them. The metaverse will affect a man's soul through immersion into the virtual world. Please watch "Black mirror" The Word of God says that we should not neglect the gathering of the saints and where two or three meet He is there in their presence. We cannot replace the Word of God with artificial intelligence. What about the laying on of hands?
Good discussion and great point about it being neutral. Similar to Ruslan's take, and I also don't think it is inherently bad, but similar to the current internet: it depends on how people use it. People currently use filters to "augment" or change their natural looks and portray themselves as one way on the internet and another in person. Additionally, in a different vein, Christian rappers use autotune to change their voice, and although I don't see this as wrong, not sure how these people claiming the metaverse is the devil would respond to this, as it is altering a person's actual voice.
Love seeing your meditative neutral approach to this, because yeah the truth is nobody can say what the exact impact of the metaverse will be on the church. I think so long as it is not used as a substitute for in person gathering, but rather a midpoint/middle man for it, then it could really be a good thing.
God created the universe, Satan is attempting to create his own universe through the Metaverse, where he can further blind and oppress humanity. Let’s just say it how it is.
Rueben, I’ve not made up my mind on this, what are some specific “good things” you see. (Not seeking to argue with you, seeking to better understand other believers’ thoughts)
I want to have fun, but I don't want to escape my reality and not be myself. There are still morals I wish to keep and not abundant in a fake world. Can we have something related to Christianity.
The advertisements keep talking about shopping in the metaverse. Snoop dog just bought real estate in the metaverse. I see this as the mark of the beast on the forehead.
VR churches aren't theoretical. They exist and I've seen people come to know Jesus through them. Positive things are happening. For any that think the metaverse is dark and dangerous place, consider that that's only more reason for the Church to have a foothold there, not less. If not church in the metaverse, then at least ministry is an absolute necessity.
I don’t think it would work, if the higher ups own the Metaverse and we are in it then that would mean that they can put thoughts into our minds and control what we see. They can mainstream worldly things and push us towards those and make us ignore God
Thank you for posting this, all important points that need to be considered and constantly re-evaluated. The main things are God is sovereign, we know how the story ends and what needs to happen along the way. Technology is only a tool to help more effectively meet needs. That said it can bee extremely beneficial to the worlds and the church, however, it should in no wat become a substitute for in person fellowship and worship. Will there be people that abuse it, yes of course. Many individuals levarade a variety of different tools, processes and/or substances to escape reality, at the same time God does now wnat us to not leverage tools for good just because there are those that use them for evil or out of weakness... Thank you again and God bless!
This will open doors for adulterous behavior and so much more- Geesh, oh how we should look forward to the day of the Lord! It’s going to be similar to the Night of the Living dead- folks will intertwine the reality and virtual reality, then soon will be unable to tell them a part. If I wanted to gain control of the mind and behavior I will do something like this to fool the very elect-- Lord keep my mind stayed on You🙏🏽

I don’t think the metaverse will replace preaching and community in person, but it will supplement it.
I do the exercise program on the Oculus, meta quest... that's it?

Interesting thoughts. I think the metaverse will just perpetuate consumeristic "I want this now" tendencies already in the culture.
What a lunatic. Get professional help for your belief that you're surrounded by invisible creatures which control your life.
Thanks for sharing bro!!
Love you heart.
If you’re ever in Orlando, let’s connect 🤙
When will there vr churches? My grandma is Catholic and wants to attend virtual services because she can't get out of her place.
LifeChurch in OK, usa already does VR church... crazy

You get into the metaverse...the physical church will be closed sorry not for my family!
I don’t think the physical, incarnational, church will disappear because of the metaverse. People will still crave the face to face conversation.
In the last days many will be dicieved!
I want to have fun, but I don't want to escape my reality and not be myself. There are still morals I wish to keep and not abundant in a fake world. Can we have something related to Christianity.
I think it’s a satanic world nothing good about it and very dangerous 👿😈👹👺

We can use metaverse to preach the gospel and use virtual churches!
It won't happen. They'll ban the gospel in no time.
I don’t think it would work, if the higher ups own the Metaverse and we are in it then that would mean that they can put thoughts into our minds and control what we see. They can mainstream worldly things and push us towards those and make us ignore God

Bingo!
Even so, come LORD Jesus!
Jesus Christ is Lord ✝️
I’m thinking about setting up a meta account so I can play VR games, but I’m not gonna participate in this “second-life” stuff.
No! No! Evil! Bad! Judas goat!
Christian 관점에서
metaverse를 편안하게 풀어주셔서 감사합니다.
No
Nooo
And heck nooooooo!
It's born of bad faith and leads to existential despair
Most modern Christians don’t take the Bible serious,it’s sickening to witness it.
It really is. The lines are really being drawn. Praying for the church!
Very sad.
Can you elaborate?
