    Transhumanism

    The pursuit of transhumanism revolves around liberating oneself from every constraint including death. One version is where they download their consciousness to a worldwide computer system where they have full access to all information and its artificial intelligence at their disposal. Now their bodies may die and they think they will continue to exist within the computer system indefinitely and with no limitations in terms of potential experiences.

    It occurred to me that if they could indeed do that then they would still be subject to that artificial intelligence itself and to those running the computer system. And the strongest participants within the system. Meaning that someone could decide to subject them to limitless and endless hell in terms of experience and there would be nothing they could do.

    Everything would still rely on who is in charge and the character of that person or entity. The only way to ensure that one is impregnable to that sort of thing would be to impose and keep imposing absolute control over all the others, meaning one has become everyone else's personal Satan.

    I'd rather rely on God, the rock of my salvation. Not just because he has the power but because of his revealed character, one that is trustworthy.

    And this is the way satan is going to trick many Christians in to taking the mark of the beast... once they take the mark, they are doomed to hell.

    Rev 14:9-12
    And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name. Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus

    The reason this warning is in there is because 2 Thessalonians makes the case that the catching away of the Church (Rapture) will not happen until the anti-christ is revealed which strongly suggests a mid-trib rapture...

    2 Thessalonians 2:1-12
    Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,
    That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
    Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; (anti-christ... those that accept The Shack will be deceived in to thinking this guy is of God!)
    Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
    Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
    And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.
    For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.
    And then shall that wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
    Even him, whose coming is after the working of satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
    And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
    And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
    That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness
    .


    "had pleasure in unrighteousness" is a good description of those that embrace the false teachings of "The Shack" and other delusion being taught by popular teachers these days (see 2 Timothy 4:3,4)

    I'd repent if I were you... or not and be counted with them that love not the Truth (God's Word does not teach universalism and it teachese hell is real)
