The Foolish Lies in the Culture and Even in the Church

It is astounding to me how many people believe foolish things like "flat earth" and other things they have no way of vetting. They are childishly believing fantasies that cannot be proven.

O.K. let's say some of it is true, which I do not believe, now what? Do those who claim these things alter their lives in some way because of what they believe? No, it is all just talk to appear as though they have special knowledge.
 
The search for special knowledge is rooted in pride, it is Gnosticism. Would those who believe these outlandish things have thought it up all by themselves? NO, they had to read the lies and concoctions of others who love to deceive others, to find them. They had to go looking for the lies, they saw nothing personally in their own lives that led them to their false assumptions.
 
These are the same people who read those tabloid newspapers at the checkout stand when I was a child. Back in the day, the readership was small and dedicated to sensationalism that most rational people paid no attention to and even mocked because they knew it was foolishness. Now we have these tabloids on the internet hoodwinking the simple-minded who thrive on fantasy thinking.
 
I suggest they are wasting their time and distracting others from the essential things of the gospel and interpersonal relationships as commanded by Christ in the Bible.
There are more lies now within the Christian culture than there is truth. The only way to avoid this nonsense is to remain fully immersed in the Bible while asking the Holy Spirit to fill you with His truth.
 
Proverbs 3:5-6
"5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart
And do not lean on your own understanding.
6 In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He will make your paths straight."

Do not allow your heart to be diverted from Christ through human wisdom and fantasy thinking.
