Noah Was NOT a Conspiracy Theorist

By -
This is really crazy meme which suggests that Noah was supposedly a conspiracy theorist. First, we need to define what a conspiracy theory is. Dictionary.com defines conspiracy theories as follows:
  • A theory that rejects the standard explanation for an event and instead credits a covert group or organization with carrying out a secret plot.
  • A belief that a particular unexplained event was caused by such a covert group.
  • The idea that many important political events or economic and social trends are the products of deceptive plots that are largely unknown to the general public.

We need to consider that Noah had a divine revelation from God. Noah was forewarned by God that a great flood was about to come in due time. That doesn't make Noah a conspiracy theorist because he didn't formulate any theory. He was given a prophecy and not some complex theory. That makes him different from the likes of Alex Jones, Texxe Marrs, and David J. Stewart. Did Jones, Marrs, and Stewart get any divine revelation from God? I doubt it. It was just like how Pentecostal preacher Irvin Baxter tried to discuss Revelation by claiming he had a dream is already nonsense in many ways.

David W. Cloud of Way of Life Literature really had good advice to avoid conspiracy theories altogether. His article "Conspiracies, Conspiracies, Conspiracies" presents the case that should actually help Christians live a more healthy life. I would agree that they are mentally distracting for no good reason. 

What we need right now is just to trust God and play with caution. True, the COVID-19 infection is really there. However, can the theorists like Jones even prove that it's supposedly leading to a New World Order? Unfortunately, studying Revelation these days can become more prone to sensationalism rather than facts. How many times have we thought that this and that leads to this and that? I even stopped reading Cutting Edge Ministries and Jesus-is-Savior for reasons that the sites are more conspiracy-theory filled.

I know it's been tempting to return to conspiracy theories but haven't I become an agent of false witness by indulging in one? How often did entering conspiracy theories make me believe whatever lies have come into my mind? I can't use Noah as an excuse to go back to conspiracy theories. I have no divine revelation from God when the world will end or stuff like that. That's why I've decided to retire from conspiracy theories to focus first on God's Word. I can discuss current events but not in the light of conspiracy theories but of God's Word!
