First, don't just say 'Christians' like you are being discriminatory. Those points you listed up there should extend to all humans who access the platform.

Now, if you can't avoid evil, then shun it in its entirety. Like the Holy Book said "If your left hand will lead you to sin, cut it off".

If Facebook does not suit your personal or religious beliefs, drop it totally. Not everyone must use the social media. There are some things you can't control.

I don't think it's rocket science.

We all loved it when facebook hit the internet as it made it possible for us to connect with old friends and keep up with a social life. But these days, facebook is beginning to appear different from what it use to be. I’m not talking about the improved features but how it is becoming a place for decent minds to stay away from, especially Christians. This was brought to my awareness by a brother I met few days ago. He raised some points that makes it seem like the website is now designed to make Christians sin or backslide. Below are some of the things he pointed out which you are most likely to see on Facebook. With such around, he says Christians need to visit the site with caution or boycott it if they don’t want to backslide.

1. Violence

A day doesn’t go by without coming across a video showing 2 females fighting. The problem is that the more you watch such videos, the more you lose your humanity. If care is not taken, when you see people fighting, you might pull out your phone to film 2 them just cos you want to also make a trendy video instead of separating the fight like the peace maker you ought to be.

2. Graphic images

The problem about this is that it desensitizes and reduces you to a barbarian who doesn’t get irked by the sight of blood. The images are usually those of accidents, murders, fights etc. Pictures are even better. What about videos of beheading and jungle justice?

3. Naked pictures

Churches, religious organizations and their members are all on Facebook where they do their business and connect with each other. But with the level of naked pictures circulating on Facebook, such religious people will either boycott the site or get lured into sin. I think there should be a restriction that ensures you don’t see certain things depending on your preference. Do you think naked pictures are no issue? Check the next one.

4. Pornography

This is now rampant on Facebook. Mind you, it is not only adults we have on Facebook these days; teenagers and even kids are frequently accessing the site. A 12 year old kid who really shouldn’t know much about sex is now exposed to videos showing how a penis penetrates a vagina in different styles. The next thing is for such a boy or girl to try it out at that young age. We are now being bombarded with live porn videos and the sad part is that nobody is saying anything about it.

After he finished giving his points, I realized all he said are actually all I see on facebook these days.

If you are seeing Pornography on Facebook then you are using Facebook too much.

Re: Facebook Is Gradually Becoming Unsafe For Christians by Nobody: 12:03pm On Aug 27, 2017
Well.. if Facebook has become unsafe for Christians they should stay clear off Facebook! Simple! Problem solved! They should stay in Their judgemental and hypocritical churches. If anything Facebook is unsafe with Christians on it. sad judging and criticising everyone else.

You want Facebook to be conducive for Christians before?

That's why you can filter what appears on your feeds and timeline. That is why you can choose your friends and block or unfriend contacts too.

If that is not enough brother, then follow the Holy Bible's injunction to flee any appearance of evil
Re: Facebook Is Gradually Becoming Unsafe For Christians by Firgemachar: 12:23pm On Aug 27, 2017
Very true.

I know almost all my FB friends in person and they are responsible people.

Hence, I don't get to see all that rubbish.
Re: Facebook Is Gradually Becoming Unsafe For Christians by WealthRite: 12:25pm On Aug 27, 2017
Oga, I'm a Christian too. Please don't demonize facebook o. infact it has helped me developed a better insight and understanding of the scriptures through the posts I read. Virtually all Christian ministries are on facebook. I'm still waiting for someone to see a vision that all those on facebook are going to hell.

The earlier people start acknowledging what they do is wrong, the better for them.

Op, I'm in full support of what u just posted. Fb these days is becoming morally bankrupt for the younger generation.

Yeah you can filter and block ur friends,, what if those friends of urs are ur old classmates you'd love to keep in touch or ur colleagues or business partners, neighbours or so on??.

Sometimes one cannot just escape these things. .

Re: Facebook Is Gradually Becoming Unsafe For Christians by Nobody: 12:47pm On Aug 27, 2017
Yea, social media is a great platform. We have churches on social media but are all the content on social media good for Christians, that's a Big NO. I have a great idea for Christians. The church is very rich, the social media space is very BIG. Why can't churches have their own silicon valley... where great start ups can raise money for Christian enterprises. I mean imagine if there is a type of facebook for Christians only, instagram and twitter too. The whole essence is to have the content moderated. I applaud the RCCG record label, we need more stuffs as that.

I don't use facebook
However, Facebook, Google etc use complex algorithms based on big data in your search history, you friends, etc to decide what gets in your feed.

That is why Facebook is a political echo chamber where you will be repeatedly fed news that caters to your prejudice.

Summary, what most of you are seeing is your true reflection, not the face you show to people. It is posting to you based on your history, and that of your friends.


Sir, please, permit me to share this on my facebook wall, it's quite insightful sir.

What do you mean unsafe for Christians??!!!

Didn't you read in your Bible that the gates of hell shall not prevail against the Kingdom of God?
Now if the gates of a place will not prevail, it means that the people of the opposing area came into such area. In this case, the Christians came into the territory of darkness, and its gates can't stop them.

It means, that no matter what Facebook throws at us, we have the ability, with wisdom, to be able to withstand and prevail. We are more than conquerors. So stop talking like one defeated person that is feeling overwhelmed. Take your stand.

I can't speak for Facebook cos its a commercial site.
Zuckerberg need money n fame so he allows a lot of things on his the site.
However, there are ways you can block or allow what you see. Even if you v friends or pages or groups that posts rubbish, you can remove them. Christians that can't do these can v their own www.christianbook.com or quit facebook.
Don't generalize that facebook is not safe for Christians. Its the world. There are so many corrupt stuffs in the world. Will we ignore them & wallow in backwardness of technology modify them.
In everything, God told us to seek wisdom for direction.

I find this post bothersome,as a good practicing Christian, who tries to toe the line of what a good christain adult should follow,this is is the height of "unfaithlessnes" (permit me to use this word).
Ever heard of the phrase, "SHOW ME YOUR FRIENDS AND I'D TELL YOU WHO YOU ARE"........this phrase is applicable to everything you do,all your friends both physical and on social media. As crazy as social media can be,you and you alone have the power to restrict what you want to view on social media. If you aren't mature enough to filter what you want to see from nonsense then you have only yourself to blame.
There is bad everywhere, especially outside social media,you can't shut yourself up in a coocon because you're a Christian.
Been a good and strong christian stems out from thriving especially in the midst of a sinful world and coming our strong.
You can only be successful when you have been tried and tested.

Happy Sunday.
