"Disinformation has been around since the serpent sold Eve on the fateful apple." —Elizabeth Pond
Except, perhaps, for the supposition that it was an apple, writer Elizabeth Pond had the right perspective in a feature article in The Christian Science Monitor. She added: "Just what is disinformation? Simply put, it is the deliberate planting of false or misleading political information to influence either public or elite opinion.
It is not just misinformation, or mistaken information . . . It is planted information with the source secret or disguised." This view is borne out in the BibleThe books (Greek, "biblia" ) that are acknowledged as canonical (authoritative) by the early Christian Church. It includes both the books of the ancient Hebrew prophets and those of the apostolic witnesses to Jesus Christ..
Our time is marked by a massive ignorance about what the BibleThe books (Greek, "biblia" ) that are acknowledged as canonical (authoritative) by the early Christian Church. It includes both the books of the ancient Hebrew prophets and those of the apostolic witnesses to Jesus Christ. actually says. We see that some writers and speakers can say almost anything about the Holy ScripturesThe divinely inspired writings of both the Old and New Testaments. The term Scripture is used in the New Testament to refer to both the Hebrew Bible (Luke 24:44-45) and the new apostolic writings accepted as inspired (2 Peter 3:16; 1 Timothy 5:18). and convince some people to believe them.
We are told variously that Judas Iscariot was innocent of Christ's blood, that shoplifting is not a sin, that Jesus' parables are morally disastrous, that He studied yoga in the Far East, that Paul is the real founder of Christianity, ad infinitum—all distorted ideas advanced in recent years by misguided religious thinkers.
This is the age of spiritual disinformation. People won't and don't read the BibleThe books (Greek, "biblia" ) that are acknowledged as canonical (authoritative) by the early Christian Church. It includes both the books of the ancient Hebrew prophets and those of the apostolic witnesses to Jesus Christ. for themselves. Many are content to accept the views and opinions of so-called experts who are often quite biased in their perspective.
