Well, as you may have guess rightly, my religion is Christian. I grew up in Christian family and went to sunday school every week. I have attended many different churches, Scots, Methodist, Presbyterian, Catholics, and pentecostal. I don't think that I know all of them well. I mostly attended Presbyterian church and perhaps to some extend influenced by their values.
However, that's beside the point. What I want to talk to you now is something silly perhaps for some but I want to think about it. What would life be if Jesus has a Facebook. Would it be better for humanity or perhaps to christian community? Would he has the most followers? What will he say in his "wall"?
First, I think if Jesus ever make Facebook or Twitter account I can only predict chaos. People will want to be His follower and servers will jam. But, I think it would be for the worse. Why? Well, I must say that even though you may feel that He is nearer (He's only a click away), I don't think you will actually bother to listen to Him. Don't you think so? His status will be like any other status that appear on your news feed. No more no less.
Secondly, I believe that God has not shown His wonders, through His prophets or otherwise, due to some reason. God is around us. That's for sure and I don't doubt it at all but He just let you and me discover Him through our personal way. If he ever make an account on Facebook, you know how to reach Him and that way you won't search for Him. You and I can go to Jesus hassle-free. Without problems. That way we will be complacent. We know whether Jesus has already attended our requests or not. We can track His comments. No waiting, no trying.
I believe Christian faith is about searching for God. You need to do personally. No one can help you with that. I believe that He has already played His part in enlightening you on how you can search for Him. through the bible, daily devotion, etc. But the most important thing is that you can search for Him through LOVE.
Facebook erases this searching part and by that put love to the side. That's why if Jesus has a Facebook, you and I will not find the true love of God and will not love our neighbours better. We need no friends as we have Jesus on Facebook. We will demand that our prayer be answered by Him personally. I wouldn't want to have Jesus as my friend on Facebook. I would rather try my best to love Him and others. I would rather experience His miracle and His answer to my prayer through others around me.
So, there's one more question left unanswered. What would Jesus write in his status? I believe Jesus will write this everyday
Jesus: @everyone Have you love one another today?
