[h=1]Isaiah 8:12-14New King James Version (NKJV)[/h] [SUP]12 [/SUP]“Do not say, ‘A conspiracy,’
Concerning all that this people call a conspiracy,
Nor be afraid of their threats, nor be troubled.
[SUP]13 [/SUP]The Lord of hosts, Him you shall hallow;
Let Him be your fear,
And let Him be your dread.
[SUP]14 [/SUP]He will be as a sanctuary,
But a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense
To both the houses of Israel,
As a trap and a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
Concerning all that this people call a conspiracy,
Nor be afraid of their threats, nor be troubled.

To both the houses of Israel,
As a trap and a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

The purpose of that passage about conspiracy theories is to not just blindly follow what others say.
We are called to test all things ourselves to see if truth is being said.
To just blindly follow others as truth leads to problems.
We see this with those who blindly follow false teachings in their churches, because they don't test their pastor's, or because it has been taught the same way for many years.

i agree its sometimes good to show what theories are going round, and where as christians we stand concerning such things, to eventually give peace to those that may have unwittingly started to worry over these issues, to relay the message that our confidence needs to be in Christ alone... whereby we enter into his peace.
[h=1]Philippians 4:7King James Version (KJV)[/h] [SUP]7 [/SUP]And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

to make a long story short...as i understand it the conspiracy forum was created to humor a particular clique of members...most of whom are no longer here...
personally i think this section of the site has outlived its usefulness...and become what it was specifically stated that it was hoped -not- to become...

That kind of reasoning would give rise to the question of why any Christian forum is available.
but how are wacky and insane conspiracy theories relevant to anything Christian or biblical?
Because those wacky and insane conspiracy theories may actually have a lot more to do with the bible and the spiritual battle than you would think. The truth is often times seen as foolish and crazy I mean look at how many reacted to Jesus teachings.
All that you see when you look at the world current events when you walk outside your front door when you see and listen to another persons post or preaching you are without knowing it looking at and being a part of a divine conspiracy the battles and the wars hidden from our eyes between God and satan that is happening right in front of us but hidden.
Seek the truth hidden within the truth

Jesus told us the truth will sat us free. this is what the Son of the Almighty says. its a shame that when those of us seek the truth, we are laughed at, mocked and shunned. and when we prove our point with scripture, science, logic and plain reasoning, thats when everyone ignores the truth and resorts to the label "conspiracy theorist".
i seek the truth, i care nothing of what the majority thinks and if that makes me a "conspiracy theorist" then i am proud to be one.

Well said, at first we will be seen as crazy Christians then we will be seen as Conspiracy theorists next we will be seen as terrorists and on that day we have to prove we are who we say we are some will and will be taken to prison or tortured or killed others will back down and submit the sheep and goats the wheat and the chaff both will be seen clearly for who they are.
This time is coming and if our hearts are not prepared none of us will stand, we all say I follow Jesus but soon enough our hearts will show if we really mean that

For the purpose of theological ridicule?.. how else would be know what to call wacky and insane conspiracies?
From what I've read of the apostle Paul's writings he had to deal with some doosies that a few of the churches under his tutelage were believing.
Have you perused youtube lately? The theories are targeting Christian believers.

If your against conspiracies that is fine but to assume all conspiracies are just insane paranoid illusions of people who has a few loose screws isn't wise. it's a clever tactic for the enemy to make those who are speaking the truth appear as crazy conspiracy theorists don't you think? If one was speaking of secrets that the enemy was hiding making them seem like lunatics would be an effective way to make sure those secrets aren't revealed wouldn't it?
Something to remember is that things are hardly ever as they appear
Well mostly I find this part of the forum to be more of a humor area, the conspiracy of where everyone's socks are going was a good laugh. Although there are some legit conspiracies posted here some of which would make an interesting topic in the bible discussion forum. But if people really do become paranoid and believe everyone is out to get them and watching their every moves waiting to pounce then that is a real problem but I haven't seen any of that here
Some do seem like paranoia. Like the church this, the church that,
instead of just focusing on Christ
Have you been talking to yet?;b
