Will this machine open a door that the Revelation tells us about?

Hi Jude,

I don't think we have anything to worry about from CERN ( from a physical demonic perspective anyway ) Satan is quite able to do [ as he has been doing for thousands of years ] whatever he does without such tech.

Now, that is not to say that these guys might be messing with forces ( physics ) that may inadvertently trigger some other yet unknown issues ( i.e Like say a new nuclear type phenomena/discovery which I am sure would be weaponized if at all possible)

The sheer amount of money that has gone into CERN is staggering tho ( imo ), given the condition of the world and our issues here ( i.e Starvation, debt etc... )

From google :>>>The total operating budget of the LHC runs to about $1 billion per year. The Large Hadron Collider was first turned on in August of 2008, then stopped for repairs in September until November 2009. Taking all of those costs into consideration, the total cost of finding the Higgs boson ran about $13.25 billion<<<

I am not opposed at all to scientific discovery and research. But, I think it should be done to the Glory of God, to the completion of His Mission, and good stewardship; many times, this is not the case. It think a cost / benefit perspective should be front and center. Priorities.

Take our current obsession to colonize MARS and finding new planets. I mean, seriously? We have a planet right here that needs our attention and dollars, the last thing we should be doing is spending gobbs of money on colonizing Mars of all places.

Just my thougths

The US built 21 B-2 Spirit bombers for approximately $45 billion.

Hi bluesky22, i looked up some information on this thing, the media doesn't do much coverage on it.

10 mind-blowing facts about the CERN Large Collider you need to know.

10. CERN is the world’s biggest machine

9. Massive gravitational pull

8. CERN generates extreme temperatures

7. But Stephen Hawking is worried

6. Opening the door to other dimensions

5. CERN’s curious choice of geographic location

4. Tapping into ‘Dark Matter’

3. CERN logo

2. Deity of destruction as corporate mascot

1. No Democratic debate

Yes, indeed, like I said, we spend money on war and destruction like there is no tomorrow, while people are dying from lack of clean water.

Amazing.

Amazing indeed this is how the Almighty sees it..

My point is that the CERN/LHC is not that bad an investment in dollars.

Yes, I agree. Its a fraction of all military budgets.

However, does the expenditure warrant the benefit? Idk...Maybe, time will tell the tale I suppose.

As image bearers of of our Creative Creator, I think its good ( and normal ) that we innovate and develop tech. I just wish we did it with a more Godly mindset and goal.

How many desalination plants for the third world could have been built for this same money as those war planes or CERN?

Are you familiar with the concept of a Triage?

62 billion spent on pets in US last year

Us churches own $300 billion in real estate

Yikes! Amazing. Priorities, priorities, priorities.

Are we serving the Church or ourselves?

EDIT: Although, I have no problem with pets ( I have two cats ) and living, its a matter of balance I think.

Maybe churches could sell their property

Well, I suppose....we do need a place to worship, to organize, no?

It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men. 14You are the light of theworld. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. 15Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a basket. Instead, they set it on a lampstand, and it gives light to everyone in the house.…
