Facebook have bought the facially recognition technology company Face.com. The Israeli based startup already had apps used on Facebook, which looks at users photos, tagging friends automatically.
This move suggests Facebook are seeking to further develop their facial recognition technology. With the vast amounts of personal data Facebook holds on it’s users, and the millions of photographs stored on their servers of users, and users families and friends; should we be concerned at Facebook further pursuing the capabilities of complying databases which would enable them to recognise you whenever, and wherever they see your image? Should we be concerned as to the security of such data?

Q1 The God given ability to chosoe and the incessant desire to know & create coupled with confusion around God’s desire for us (to join the trinity in intimate loving relationship) brought about temptation, distortion, deception and doubt. The enemy used freedom of choice (not believe God was telling the truth) in it’s weakness to bring about sin in the world through Adam & Eve. They were in fact sacred & holy made in the image & likeness of God up to the point of disbelief resulting in the action of sin.Love towards Adam & Eve is equal to the love I have for self, others & God. Our original image & likeness of God is now restored because of the work of Christ on the cross as the 2nd Adam. Do I look at behavior or position? I don’t always make the perfect choice, from the position that God is good speaking truth, love, life & light in all situation. The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak, but His power is perfected in my weakness. Oh, to be rid of the brokenness, strongholds, character defects, hidden motives, unguarded desires, persevering in partnership until He completes the good work He has started. As I grow in a loving intimate relationship with the trinity as a new creation restored to my original identity I feel an urgency that there is more. The clock is ticking. My prayer is I give up performance & walk in fellowship only. I love Adam & Eve because they are my parents. Through them has come life & my humanity. May I chosoe to walk in fellowship vs choosing my own way.Q2 The function of prophecy: from 1 Corinthians 14:3 Everyone who prophesies speaks to men for their strengthening, encouragement and comfort.
