The Bible, Conspiracies & Conspiracy Theories (Isaiah 8:9-15)

What Christians Should Know

We live in an age of increasing anxiety, uncertainty and doubt. This means people are more receptive to believing in conspiracy theories because—at least superficially—said explanation provides the comfort of some mental security in an uncertain world. And, if a person can explain why bad things are happening, it outwardly gives them some sense of control over the uncontrollable.

Consequently, the question Dr. Sadaphal will answer in this episode is: How does a student of God’s Word navigate a world seemingly overflowing with so-called conspiracies and conspiracy theories? That is, at times we are bombarded with so much information, it is becoming more difficult to arrive at a reasonable conclusion. One person’s truth is another’s conspiracy theory and one person’s firmly-held belief is regarded by another as based on faulty information. So, what is child of God to do? The answer is go straight to God’s Word.
