Genesis 3:11 And he said, who told thee that thou was naked? hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?
Social Media addiction lawsuits were very recently brought against Facebook, because of the alleged addictive nature of some content. While it is true that there can be some level of magnetic pull, your personal responsibility as a parent, or an individual should not be excused, as if persons have no choice whatsoever in the matter. Furthermore, the famous chatbots such as Claude, Bestie, Alexa, ChatGpt, DeepSeek, Gemini, and Grok cannot and should not be entirely blamed for your failures.
I do not know of any instance where TikTok forced anyone by their throat, and made them do things against their will. And, in the day of final accounts, God will not be accepting excuses that Facebook or TikTok, forced us to do it, even though there may be some level of addictiveness. The tendency to remove all responsibility from the person, and place blame squarely on the shoulders of others, or situations, is one of the issues we must address.
Social influencing has always been around, ever since the day Adam fell, for this is where the habit of making excuses came from. In other words, if God didn’t make the tree, if He did not make the woman, and if He had not allowed the serpent anywhere near the tree this would’ve never happened. Thus, basically in a nutshell, they laid the blame squarely on God….12 And the man said, The woman whom You gave to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.
Genesis 3:13 And the Lord God said unto the woman, what is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
