Superstition in Christians:
It concerns me that there are superstitious beliefs floating about among the minds of Christians. These beliefs do not promote Christ. The Bible should be our guide when dealing with controversial subjects.
Conspiracy theories involving aliens, false angelic visions, Alexa, or political figures do not glorify God. There may be aliens, angelic visions, or so-called politicians, but Christ needs to be your guide when judging the validity of these untrustworthy sources. The Bible is truth and all these other sources need to be compared against this spirit of truth.
Discussing wild sources of information from TV or the internet will not encourage people to follow Christ. Encouraging people to follow Christ is the job of Christians. God knows more than what is in the Bible and he will make these other things crystal clear to us in his time.
Even the Bible can be confusing if not compared to itself. Most people do not read the original Hebrew, Greek, and Aramaic text directly because learning these languages is too time-consuming. We rely on translations of the Bible which were made using the translation reasoning of men. Some things are so simple that mistranslation is difficult and translations can be compared to each other to see if they agree. The Old Testament is problematic for some people because they read their own personal beliefs into translated text and make up their own false belief systems. The text is complex and written for specific groups of people in many cases.
God is more complex than the information presented in the Bible but he will not violate his Word. Anything violating the Bible should be rejected by Christians provided they have a full understanding of the Bible. I don’t believe anyone knows everything, especially me so naturally there will be disagreements. Pride in your Biblical knowledge may not be the best thing in the world if it puts you in a rigid religious mindset.
