About
"Conspiracies"
"We must be very careful when it comes to
speculation about conspiracies, particularly if they lead us away from
the Word of God. Consequently, we do not keep much information
concerning the various conspiracies such as the Illuminati, Club of
Rome, Trilateral Commission, etc. It is
instructive to consider the historical example of Nazism. Pre-war
Germany had any number of conspiratorial groups, but only one got the
lucky breaks which enabled it and its leader to dominate an entire
nation for more than a decade. In the 1920s, who could have singled out
Hitler and the Nazis as the ones who would succeed?"
"Peter tells us that we have been
"given all things that pertain unto life and godliness" (2
Peter 1:3-9). We need to "keep reading." In order to access
what has already been given to us, we must do as the scripture
instructs, "through the knowledge of Him that hath called us to
glory and virtue." In other words, if we want to know the will of
the Lord, walk in the way the Lord wants us to walk, and do the things
that are both pleasing to Him as well as most edifying to us - learn
more about the Lord. The scriptures are the door to this knowledge. By
continued immersion in His Word, we learn about Him and learn to follow
Him (From The Berean Call correspondence file)."
From TBC Today 12/13/04
I agree with the above TBC Today item, in the sense that
we ought to be careful when it comes to, "speculation
about conspiracies". Every person I've seen who is obsessed with
conspiracy theories is also into serious doctrinal error and their
obsession is actually a form of idolatry. In fact I
see almost no value in such speculation, because there is much available
that is published in the open to confirm what the Bible says is the true
nature of the World System.
I do not agree with what the above writer says about the
Nazi's being "lucky". There is no such thing as "luck".
The unfolding of world history is
neither random nor driven by an impersonal force such as luck.
Similar to TBC, I have very little on file about power
groups such as George W. Bush's "Order of the Skull
& Bones". Also, I do not desire to become an expert in sorcery
or witchcraft. I want to know and speak up about just enough to help other
Christians recognize when we are being deceived by clever counterfeits.
It was Dave Hunt (TBC), in a video series in the 1980s, that first alerted
me to the profoundly unbiblical nature of Freemasonry.
Sometimes, I have found that when we expose someone's guru
or say what the Bible says about this corrupt world system, there are
those who begin to accuse us of "negativism"
or "conspiracy theories".
If we love people, we will warn people. We should persevere
in love and trust our Lord Jesus for patient endurance. And, of course, be
willing to be corrected ourselves, from the Bible.
Most definitely, our Lord Jesus has given us, "all things that pertain unto life and godliness".
(2 Peter 1:3). The warnings
of scripture are many. Let's encourage one another to apply them as
world history unfolds. You cannot obey the word of God in applying the
warnings of the Bible unless you are willing to examine what men have said
and done and compare it to what God says. And when men say or do something
contrary to scripture we must trust the Lord for wisdom to recognize it,
warn about it, and reject it, in obedience to our Lord. This is exactly
what much of the New Testament is about. God did not give us the Bible to
be read in a vacuum. The word of God is given to be APPLIED; to enable us
to be in the world but not of the world. Jim B. 12/18/04
