Is technology evil

If technology were evil, the Word would have had to refuse a body — and bodies are technology’s whole ancestry: stone, string, fire, the wheel, the pen. The first mention of instruments in Scripture is not a fall; it is a family: Jubal, “the father of all such as handle the harp and organ” (Genesis 4:21), named without a flinch. God told Noah to build with pitch. He filled Bezaleel with the Spirit to work in gold. He Himself is described as a craftsman — forming, fashioning, making.

Evil enters the world through wills, not through artifacts. The tower of Babel was not condemned for its engineering; it was condemned for its aim — “let us make us a name” (Genesis 11:4). The same brick that built the tower could have built a city of refuge. Technology is capacity; morality is direction. The question is never whether it is evil, but where it is pointed, and by whom.

So hold the whole subject with a free hand. Your phone is not sin; it is a field where sowing happens either way. The Logos who made a world is not threatened by the things we make inside it — “without him was not any thing made that was made” (John 1:3), and that includes every made thing since. Aim what you hold at love, and it becomes a neighbor to the harp and the organ. Aim it at your own name, and it becomes a small tower. The choice was never in the object. It has always been in the arm.
