Fake news is nothing new to Christians. We have been bombarded with Fake News since the beginning of Christianity. Jesus’s disciples and apostles spread the Good News of our salvation through Christ by telling of Jesus’s death, burial, and resurrection, and what we must do to be saved. They established congregations and provided examples of Church actions, worship, and leadership.
Many of the letters we find in the New Testament address “Fake News,” and it continues today. Our world is full of Fake News in Christianity, but there’s good news.
We don’t have to be gullible!
God gave us the means to discern the Truth from the Fake.
The Bible is 66 books of Inspired Words from God, which we can compare to the desires and teachings we hear from all sorts of well-intended, possibly agenda-driven people.
The Truth is not found in what someone says of God’s Word but in what God’s Word actually says.
1 John 4:1
“Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.”
- Galatians 1:6-9
- 2 Peter 2:1
- 2 Timothy 3:16-17
- Acts 17:11
- John 17:17
- 2 Peter 1:20-21
God First!
