Nextly, I am not sure I agree with the use of the word “redeem” in Brandon’s repsonse. I don’t think Ryan’s blog is redeeming technology as a whole. But you are probably not trying to make that argument either. I hear similar arguments that Christians ought to “redeem the arts and take it over.” Or “redeem rap music” or “redeem the film industry.” I am skeptical of this type of language. I think redeem is used in an overly utopian sense.

Even believing humanity is not redeemed in full. Christ paid the down payment for our salvation, but we are not fully redeemed until the mighty return of the Lord. The phrase “already, not yet” explains the fullness of salvation in Christ, yet the expectation of his future coming.

All this is to say, I do know if there is any “redeeming” of arts or technology or any other tools. But rather, it seems to me, that there is now the opportunity for believers to use the tools that were once used for evil to be placed into and reflect the light of glory.

This may seem like semantics but I really don’t think it is.
