SUN-DAY SCHOOL CLASS: CYBERSTALKING ON TEMPTATION ISLAND by
e.graham
According to the Bible Dictionary, TEMPTATION is an
enticement (Prov1:10) invitation to sin, with the implied promise of greater
good to be derived from following the way of disobedience. In this sense The
Most High does not tempt people, nor can He Himself be tempted (James 1:14)
This, of course, is metaphysical language.
With that understanding, in this new tech- generation,
temptation comes in many forms, which could lead a lot of people into becoming
cyberstalkers, which can be based on anger (Eph 4:26-27) revenge (Rom 12:19,)
or control. Especially, with the availability of 24-hour pornography on the
Internet, where one can develop abnormal sexual fantasies with PornStars, who
appear on their computers on an hourly or daily bases, enticing them in an
effort to financial drain (Prov6:24-26) them by creating lustful habits (1 John
2:16) and "potential" obsessive and adulterous behaviors. (Matt16:4)
Consider the recent scandal surrounding NBA star Zion
Williamson and Pornstar Moriah Mills,, which I discussed in a prior article
entitled: WISDOM FOR ZION, which deals
with harassment, embarrassment, and humiliation of its victim.
This psychological delusion was highlighted in a
horror-series, based on a real-life event entitled SWARM about a young woman's obsession with a
pop star that takes a dark turn, which leads her to become an obsessed serial
killer.
This type of false reality or fake relationship, however,
can also occur on FaceBook, Instagram, Twitter as well as OnlyFan Pages, where due to search engines
like Google, a person can become engulfed with searching, following, and
tracking an individual, whom they have found interesting or attractive.
As innocent as this may seem, no one deserves to be
stalked. For, no one desires unwanted
attention from a stranger. Especially, if they are not attracted to them and
have no interest in meeting them in person. An unwanted ATTRACTION like this,
if the person is not careful, can become FATAL.
Despite the negative consequences of being labeled a
stalker, within a stalker's mind, however, his intense desire for the OBJECT of
his affection overrides all of this.
Why? Because, he or she has grown to believe their
"courageous" curiosity, "pain-stalking" persistence, and
"cold-hearted" co-dependency is somehow romantic as well as
attractive and stimulating to the person, whom he or she is pursuing, obsessing
over, or still in love with. Especially, if this activity follows a mild break-up
or short separation, after what to them, seemed to be a long-lasting loving
relationship. So, in their thought process, there is nothing wrong with them
with finding out, who their past girlfriend is dating now, or married to. Plus,
"What's so strange about befriending all their friends on FaceBook or
contacting their husband?" Yes, this is an "attraction, which can
turn FATAL"
With that example, most stalkers have no intention to harm or scare others. However, over time, unfortunately, they can begin to look- like predators due to their constant attempts to contact someone. Especially, if they don't really know them and appear to be developing an obsession.
This may occur with constant LOVE BOMBING, which comes with
an unlimited amount of compliments, LIKES, flattery (Prov 29:5,) admiration, or
comments under one's photographs on FaceBook, as well as leaving numerous
(inappropriate) messages in their Inbox, along with commenting on all of their
posts, following them on Twitter and repeating DMing them on Instagram, while
waiting on a reply. (Prov 26:24-28)
This form of cyberstalking, however, can intensify.
Especially, when the person, who may have a narcissistic personality, after
being blocked or told no, makes matters worst, by practicing deception, Gal(
6:7) developing "new names," (Prov 22:1) pretending to be someone
else, hiding in disguise (2 Cor 11:14) with faking pictures, different photos,
and made-up profiles in order to gain access to the person they have become
obsessed with, who, over time, has become emotionally exhausted by their
unwanted harassment.
Usually, the cause of this irrational behavior is a result
of spiritual emptiness, loneliness from a relationship gone bad, divorce, or
death of a loved one along with emotional neediness, abandonment issues, and
attachment disorders, probably, stemming from unresolved trauma in their
childhood, which may be due to having uncaring and unloving parents.
Unfortunately, if this person doesn't unplug himself from
social
media soon and seek psychological help for his unaddressed
issues of trauma and rejection, he will become more OBSESSIVE and impulsive,
until he or she starts to develop DARKER thoughts known as RUMINATION, which
could lead them to STALK the person offline, appearing at their job, driving by
their house, placing a tracker on their
vehicles, rape, (Gen 35:1-14)kidnapping, and even, murder.(Matt5:21-22)
This unstable activity of denial and delusion could ruin
one's reputation, and result in job loss, arrest, jail-time, and a
"potential" criminal record. (bobbeethehater.blogspot.com)
