What Makes Bad Theology So Costly?

In my regular guest-host slot on Truth Talk Live (Truth Network), I opened with a friend’s dilemma: If people living through the events described in Revelation see beasts, plagues, and cosmic signs with their own eyes, doesn’t that give them an advantage over those who died without seeing such proof? Isn’t that unfair—almost as if some are lost on a technicality? That question pulled us into Romans 1, where Paul says God’s attributes are “clearly seen,” and into Jesus’ rebuke of crowds who demanded signs even after seas had split and manna had fallen. The pattern was plain: evidence never settled the question. Trust did. I’ve heard the same struggle in hospital corridors, casually dispensed over a loved one’s bed: “If you had more faith, you’d be healed.” It sounds spiritual in the moment, but when suffering leans on those words, they crumble. And I saw something different but just as hollow on late-night television, when Jimmy Kimmel, tearful after his suspension, said he follows the “teachings of Jesus.” Which teachings? The one where He said, “Before Abraham was, I am”? The one where He said, “No one comes to the Father except through Me”? Or the one where He said, “Take up your cross and follow Me”? Noble words, but casual references to Jesus without the weight of His actual words leave us splashing in the kiddie pool, calling it swimming. These moments — Revelation’s visions, hospital corridors, late-night tears — all press the same core issue: do we trust God, or are we still demanding that He prove Himself on our terms?
