Often the
official story is a lie concocted by corrupt officials to cover up some kind of
crime or evil on their part,
"11
While they were going, behold, some of the guard went into the city and told
the chief priests all that had taken place. 12 And when they had assembled with
the elders and taken counsel, they gave a sufficient sum of money to the
soldiers 13 and said, “Tell people, ‘His disciples came by night and stole him
away while we were asleep.’ 14 And if this comes to the governor's ears, we
will satisfy him and keep you out of trouble.” 15 So they took the money and
did as they were directed. And this story has been spread among the Jews to
this day" (Matt. 28:11-15).
This is a
major lesson in the Bible. The Bible is full of active conspiracies and the
authors of the Bible go into a lot of detail describing the means and methods
of conspirators. It is in fact, a central theme in Scriptures and how it talks
about evil. It is also central to the narratives of both King David, and the
Davidic King Jesus.
This is a
major lesson in history. Any student of history knows this.
Yet this
truth about our world is very much denied by many Christians. Even though our
own Lord was killed in an evil conspiracy, and they attempted to deny his
resurrection with an extension of that conspiracy. Still many people refuse to
accept that this is a major part of our world.
This does not
mean that any given conspiracy is true. But it does mean we live in a world of
lies, and that often those in charge of anything from a business, an organization,
a church, or even society up to the top levels of government, will lie to cover
up their real intentions. We should not automatically trust.
Coincidentally,
sociopaths are much more highly represented in leadership positions than
general society. Just an interesting fact...
