Cyberspace and God's omnipresence

Tony Lobl

God fills all space.

So what if human invention has created a "new" space, an electronic locale, and has called it "cyberspace"? Can this previously uncharted territory exist outside of infinite Spirit, God, and His invariable laws of good, and be used as an avenue for evil? Or can it be a space where good exists independent of God, a material environment beneficial in and of itself?

Spiritually weighed, neither of the above is possible. Cyberspace does not alter the true rules of the universe, the spiritual law of good that outlaws all evil. Nor can a material form usurp God's infinite supremacy. The Internet is a detrimental or constructive influence according to whether the impulse to produce or to consume its communications is selfish and mortal, or Christly and spiritual.
