• Placebos won't lower your cholesterol or shrink a tumor. Instead,
placebos work on symptoms modulated by the brain, like the perception
of pain. Placebos may make you feel better, but they will not cure you.
They have been shown to be most effective for conditions like pain
management, stress-related insomnia, and cancer treatment side effects
like fatigue and nausea.
• False Belief Placebos work in a similar way! They make you feel
better - and give you a false sense of security!
• Everyone Is Going To Heaven: It would be great if this were true.
No matter what a person does, they will go to Heaven. Unfortunately,
this is not taught anywhere in the Bible (Old or New Testament).
(Matthew 7: 21; Job 20: 5; Matthew 25: 46)
• There Is No Hell: Everyone wants to accept and embrace Heaven,
but most people refuse to believe in Hell. They think God is good and
loving and could never do such a thing. People fail to consider that God
is also about justice, and justice always includes the concept of
punishment. (Matthew 10:28; Revelation 20: 15)
• Any Church Can Get You To Heaven: If you build your house in a
neighborhood, that house is yours (and, for a while, the banks). Does
that mean you can claim ownership of every other home in the
neighborhood? Jesus built His church (One church) and paid for it with
His blood. He does not claim ownership of any other churches that may
pop up around His. (Matthew 16: 18; Acts 20: 28)
• There is No Right and Wrong in Religion. This may be the
world’s way, but it’s not God’s. (1 Corinthians 6: 9-11; 2 John 9)
• Grace Alone Will Save You: It’s true no one can earn their way to
heaven. God’s grace is essential and necessary for our salvation. But
that doesn’t mean we do nothing for salvation. (James 2: 14-17)
• God Promises Christians Health & Prosperity: The health and
wealth gospel is popular in our country. Several preachers declare this
placebo teaching every Sunday. Many take comfort in this message, but
they soon discover this hope is false. (Colossians 3: 1-2; Acts 14: 22
