Oh Chris. Unbiblical and unsubstantiated? So you are a hypocrite. You joined this forum for fellowship with "believers". The Body of Christ is not bound between walls. The proof of whether we are part of the Body of Christ is in our witness of knowing Christ. The fact that we can come together as complete strangers from all over the world and know when we are with other believers because of the unity of the Spirit and the upholding of the Gospel and the Word of God, is just part of the proof that GOD is using this medium for HIS purposes.

If you think the internet is worthless and provides nothing of value get off it and quit being a hypocrite about it. Don't you telephone, email others, mail others from miles away and enjoy the fellowship of those 'letters'. Didn't Paul and the other apostles send letters which became the epistles when they couldn't meet in person?

Aren't those things worthy of an example for us. How about if you can't meet family for years but can only keep in touch via email and now the internet---does that invalidate the communication, the union, the rejoicing and encouraging that can be done in that manner?

Richard Wurmbrand learned to knock on walls to communicate to people in the next cell. Why would any form of communication that builds up, edifies and encourages not be valid? Who made that rule?

I have been blessed by many "letters" (email/posts) on the Internet.
