Biblical interpretationPsychologists say 9/11 conspiracy theories offer fleeting comfort, not lasting peace
Moral issue
Biblical principle
Old Testament
““Don’t call a conspiracy all that this people call a conspiracy. Don’t fear their threats or be terrorized.”
Warns against labeling or spreading conspiracies, showing they lead to fear and terror.
New Testament
“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God.”
Calls believers to be peacemakers, contrasting with the divisive effect of conspiracy theories.
“They have no root in themselves, but are short-lived. When oppression or persecution arises because of the word, immediately they stumble.”
Describes short‑lived beliefs that collapse under oppression, matching psychologists’ finding that conspiracy comfort is fleeting.
Analysis
The report states that 9/11 conspiracy theories give only fleeting comfort and do not bring lasting peace. Isaiah 8:12 warns not to call or spread conspiracies, indicating they foster fear rather than peace. Matthew 5:9 blesses peacemakers, implying that seeking peace through truth aligns with God’s will, whereas conspiracy narratives undermine that peace. Mark 4:17 notes that such beliefs are short‑lived and unstable, echoing the psychologists’ observation. Thus the promotion of conspiracy theories is inconsistent with biblical teaching on peace and truth, placing the conduct in tension with Scripture.
