Deceptions or conspiracies are common schemes that can and are destroying faith. Satan uses anyone who will listen to him to distort the truth in order to destroy faith. He has been successful as the masses are becoming more secular, and the number of atheists and agnostics is growing. The Savior gave us a gauge, “By their fruits, ye shall know them.” (Matt. 7:15-20) And the Lord counsels, “Pray always,… that you may conquer Satan, and that you may escape the hands of the servants of Satan that do uphold his work.” (D&C 10:5) The globalist elite use philanthrope to cover their nefarious and satanic activities and deceptions–like the COVID pandemic. Fortunately, many people are waking up and being watchmen on the tower. It’s About Time!
Churches are Feeling the Effects of Secularism
Secularism is the indifference or rejection of religious considerations. Christianity is declining as a result of secularism, driven in large measure by the liberalizing of our education system, the globalists taking control of the media and the internet, with their godless promotion of the theory of evolution, which often leads to atheism and the destruction of faith in God. All too often there are wolves among the sheep with people doing deceitful things within the rank and file.
Combating Misleading Information
Our good friend, Jonathan Neville, who is an excellent church historian, has uncovered several such historical deceptions made by past historians of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and has several books documenting these. As Jonathan points out, the late Church Historian, Leonard J. Arrington, helped the Church prepare for the internet era, but as James and Hannah Stoddard have shared in their book, “Faith Crisis, Volume 2: Beyond Closed Doors,” they expose distortions made by Arrington that are misleading and destroy faith.
Exposing Conspiratorial Activities
My hope here is to help expose some other of these conspiratorial activities that destroy faith and bring about confusion and contention, and by so doing build faith and harmony. The Savior warned, “And there shall be no… disputations among you concerning the points of my doctrine… For verily, verily I say unto you, he that hath the spirit of contention is not of me but is of the devil, who is the father of contention, and he stirreth up the hearts of men to contend with anger, one with another (3 Nephi 11:28-29).” If we know the truth then the deception gets exposed and we are freed from the harmful effects. The Savior said, “Ye shall know the truth, and the truth will make your free… If the Son, therefore, shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed (John 8:32, 36).”
Examples of Conspiratorial Activities that Destroy Faith
- The “Big Bang” theory for creation without God.
- The theory of Organic Evolution and that the Genesis story is a myth.
- Joseph Smith was not a prophet but a fraud.
- The Hill Cumorah is in Central America
- The only solution for the pandemic is vaccination.
- The green movement needed to save the world.
There are several others, but here I just deal with these to know the truth about them, to build faith, to avoid contention, and to better prepare our hearts for the Lord’s coming.
How do we know the truth for sure?
Three Powerful Rules Regarding Truth Discernment
- We only know something is true if God tells us.
- We cannot prove a theory true; we don’t know enough. It is a common mistake when people see agreement with a particular theory or hypothesis, they assume it must be true. Data correlation does not provide validation. Only God knows enough to tell us something is true, which goes back to number 1.
- A very valuable tool we do have is that we can prove a theory false if we have valid falsification data. So, we can know for sure something is false.
I apply these three powerful steps to the above-listed conspiratorial activities.
Disproving Conspiratorial Activities
I prepared an article disproving the first four of these conspiratorial activities with the help of Jonathan Neville’s wonderful work. You can download this article by clicking here.
This article was well received and I was asked to give a presentation about the same at the Book Of Mormon conference. You can see this presentation by clicking here.
I have several blog articles falsifying the theory that the only solution to the COVID pandemic is vaccination and providing solutions:
Covid Facts and Cures – Covid-19 Vaccine – Misconduct Regarding Covid 19
Why I’m Not Getting the Covid Vaccine – There Is Hope Not Fear
Has the conspiratorial nature of the green movement been exposed? Having been to Russia–before and after the wall came down–I see a very different picture than most over the thirty years I have been there. I find the following two links interesting regarding the green movement (Russia and Ukraine) and the vaccination, respectively: the green movement and the vaccine.
What everyone should know and share and be practicing is that God made our bodies with an incredible self-healing and built-in immunity system. This we should feature as the headline in dealing with any health challenge or pandemic.
We know who we can trust, and it is not the government. Trust in the Lord – The King James Bible
Wolves in Sheep’s Clothing
The conspiratorial activities are destroying faith, and these folks are like wolves in sheep’s clothing—often in our ranks. And the globalist elite are doing everything they can to take away our liberty, to make us slaves, and to depopulate the planet. Fortunately, we see a lot of people doing a lot of good things to combat Satan’s nefarious and faith-destroying activities.
The Truth Will Make Us Free
Because of the great importance of this scripture, “The truth will make [us] Free” – John 8: 32 I prepared a talk on the same. We have great promise. “…by the power of the Holy Ghost, ye may know the truth of all things (Moroni 10:5). Always, God is the witness of the truth.
