And people laugh when we tell them that Christians will be persecuted viciously (yes, even here in the US one day) in the near future just as prophesied.
This new company is proof positive that the seeds of hate are being sown by non-believers. Sadly, they have no idea what's in store for them if they don't repent of their sins (1 John 1:9), accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior (Ephesians 2:8-9), and turn from their wicked ways (Acts 2:38).
We're all aware of the various Internet Filters that are available like the one we use called Safe Eyes. I guess it was inevitable that someone would create a filter for those on the-other-side-of-the fence so to speak.
I wish this was a joke, but it's not.
Of course, this shouldn't come as a surprise to us given what God's Word has to say about these matters and these times...
Nothing like blocking yourself and your children from the truth about the most important question facing each and every one of us: Where will you spend eternity when you die?
That reminds me, there's a depressing image on their Home Page of a young girl who's probably the same age as my son who's proudly wearing a GodBlock sticker on her arm like a tattoo. Unless God gets a hold of her, she'll be first in line to get the Mark of the Beast too.
Surprisingly, they do include a comment from a fellow sister in Christ who attempts to contend for and defend the faith although hers is listed at the bottom of the page and she's outnumbered 8 to 1. Still, we know what we're supposed to do.
Let's pray that those who are thinking about buying GodBlock decide that spending money on a Holy Bible is a much better investment. Pray that the Lord opens their eyes and ears.
As previously mentioned, things like this are only laying the foundation to help fulfill the prophecies of persecution during the end times (Revelation 17:6; Revelation 18:24).
Come quickly Lord!

"GodBlock is a web filter that blocks religious content. It is targeted at parents and schools who wish to protect their kids from the often violent, sexual, and psychologically harmful material in many holy texts, and from being indoctrinated into any religion before they are of the age to make such decisions. When installed properly, GodBlock will test each page that your child visits before it is loaded, looking for passages from holy texts, names of religious figures, and other signs of religious propaganda. If none are found, then your child is allowed to browse freely.
In the last century, the United States has seen a resurgence of fundamentalist religion. Fundamentalist Evangelicals, Mormons, Baptists, Muslims, and Jews have held back progress in science, human rights, civil rights, and protecting our environment. How can we reverse this trend and join the rest of the world in the gradual secularization of society and government?
Most deeply religious people are born into their religion, but even children raised in a secular household are vulnerable to content on the web. That's why we've produced GodBlock. GodBlock is a web filter that blocks religious content. It is targeted at parents and schools who wish to protect their kids from the often violent, sexual, and psychologically harmful material in many holy texts, and from being indoctrinated into any religion before they are of the age to make such decisions."

1 Corinthians 1:18 (KJV) For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.
2 Peter 3:3 (KJV) Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,

I've been following this site as well as many others of the same theme for some time now. The faithful watchmen, look up for your redemption draws near, the bride maids parable etc. What I am not encountering is a call to arms concerning the rapture. I find that interesting, if indeed the trump is about to sound and Jesus is at the door, whether you believe in the concept of the rapture or not it seems to me it would be the most prevelant topic of debate. Thoughts?
Peace.
I think that is a big sign in its self
Many people are distracted and don't think it could happen now,
and because they don't believe in the 6000 years thing, or that even is the Bible true.
there is a small percentage probably in each generation and as time has gone on the population has increased, so more in today's generation than ever but probably still a small percentage compared to the whole,
We are watching and calling to arms :)
Blessings.
blocking kids (or anyone) from reading about God on the internet... i think that's unbelieveably sad. unbelieveable.
It may be there is work that needs to be done and talk of the rapture would interfere with it. Not that God won't remind us from time to time, but perhaps those that are mature in Christ need no reminding or no more people than the elect are looking for it. My wife and I have been seeing crows where we live and crows are usually a sign of ripe fields. Perhaps the rapture is closer than we think.
Let's pray for them just the same. Bind up the devils over them, cut off their cords of power, cut or burn the bands of their armor, then pray that they receive the gospel.
Well said everyone! Amen!
In Christ,

"blocking kids (or anyone) from reading about God on the internet... i think that's unbelieveably sad. unbelieveable."
hardly. poor children. if they have access to the internet they surely don't have access to a hardcopy BIBLE. Please. COMMON SENSE, people.
Anonymous,
I must say that I kinda THINK I know what you're saying, but am not sure.
Your comment seems to imply that ANYONE with an Internet connection cannot be a "genuine Christian" or something. Maybe I misinterpreted that, but that how I took that one comment.
Look, I agree that there's A LOT of garbage online, but I know for a fact that God is using blogs like this one to reach people in this late and urgent hour.
I'm on the Internet, but I'm also spending time in my Bible too. Besides, what about those kids who the Lord is calling to Him who live with non-believing parents? What about Muslims called to Christ who can only access the Word of God through their family's Internet connection because to have a Holy Bible in their home would mean ferocious persecution?
Again, I apologize if I took your comment wrong, but if not then I wanted to add a quick follow-up comment. Thanks for sharing your perspective.
In Christ,
Jeff ("JRed")
Hey, I made the original "sad, unbelieveable" comment, and i wasn't implying that anyone was or was not a Christian if they had or had not the internet (lol, bad grammar, sorry :-)
Just that the thought of anyone wanting to block Jesus Christ, well, that just is sad to me. Like Jred said, maybe not all kids have access to a hard copy bible. Maybe they do have access, i don't know. but to block God, in any fashion or form, that just makes me sad. my opinion, nothing more.
