When Click‑Bait Meets Easter
Easter celebrates Christ’s victory over sin and death—the core of Christian hope. Yet on the very day believers mark that triumph, Mike Adams (alias Health Ranger, founder of the controversial site Natural News) published a thread claiming:
“Ten reasons why the conventional practice of Christianity is largely a fraud, why Jesus isn’t come to save any Christians at all, and why most conventional Christians are going to Hell…”
RF Safe’s reply pulled no punches:
“You preach what is good for the body while allowing the soul to die… Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.”
This post unpacks why Adams’s message is deceptive, how his track record undermines his credibility, and how Christians can respond with faith, facts, and charity.
Who Is the Health Ranger? A Short Dossier
| Fact | Source |
|---|---|
| Founder & owner of Natural News, labeled a fake‑news and conspiracy‑theory hub | Wikipedia |
| Promotes anti‑vaccine, chemtrail and GMO conspiracies; sells supplements via hundreds of cross‑linked sites | WikipediaISD |
| Described by science communicators as “a dangerous conspiracy‑mongering crank” | Wikipedia |
| Facebook banned Natural News content in 2020 for coordinated misinformation | Wikipedia |
| Runs partisan off‑shoot domains to evade moderation (trump.news, extinction.news etc.) | ISD |
Adams built a lucrative media empire by marrying sensational health claims to supplement sales—an arrangement that profits from fear. That context matters when he pivots from nutrition to theology.
What He Tweeted—and Why It Matters
Claim: “Most conventional Christians are going to Hell… Jesus isn’t coming to save them.”
Timing: Easter Sunday—Christianity’s most joyful holy day.
Immediate effect: Sows doubt, division, and clicks.
The classic playbook
-
Create a crisis (“your church is a fraud”).
-
Position yourself as the enlightened guide (“read my thread / buy my book”).
-
Monetize the traffic (supplements, premium memberships, ad revenue).
In apologetics terms, this is a textbook argument from special revelation: “I alone (or my chosen sources) have discovered the real gospel that everyone else missed for 2,000 years.” Scripture urges caution:
“Even if we or an angel from heaven preach a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed.” — Galatians 1 : 8
Scripture’s Answer to False Accusations
| Adams’s Assertion | Biblical Response |
|---|---|
| Conventional Christians are doomed. | “Whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life.” — John 5 : 24 |
| Jesus isn’t coming to save them. | “The Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.” — Luke 19 : 10 |
| Your church practice is a fraud. | The early church faced the same accusation (Acts 15). The apostles settled it by appealing to Christ’s finished work—not secret knowledge. |
Christians believe salvation is by grace through faith (Eph 2 : 8‑9), not through esoteric health teachings or fringe revelations.
Healthy Bodies and Eternal Souls: A Christian Perspective
God cares about physical well‑being—diet, exercise, and stewardship of creation. But Scripture keeps those goods in perspective:
“For while bodily training is of some value, godliness is of value in every way, as it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come.” — 1 Tim 4 : 8
Mike Adams often elevates temporal health to the ultimate good, risking an age‑old error: swapping the Creator for created things (Rom 1 : 25). The gospel flips that order—eternal life first, healthy stewardship second.
How to Discern Online “Gurus”
-
Check their fruit (Matt 7 : 16). Does the spokesperson sow peace, truth, and humility—or fear, division, and self‑promotion?
-
Follow the money. Are they selling branded supplements or secret courses tied to the “exclusive truth”?
-
Compare with historic Christian teaching. Novel doctrines that condemn the global church should raise red flags.
-
Verify claims through reputable scholarship and Scripture, not isolated proof‑texts.
-
Watch for pattern shifts. A nutrition pundit suddenly declaring theological revelations—with no accountability—deserves extra scrutiny.
Practical Steps for Believers & Seekers
| Action | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
| Ground yourself in Scripture daily. | Jesus countered deception with “It is written…” (Matt 4 : 4). |
| Engage in a healthy local church. | Community balances online echo‑chambers and provides doctrinal guardrails. |
| Research sources before sharing links. | Avoid unwittingly amplifying disinformation networks. |
| Pursue holistic stewardship. | Eat well, exercise, rest—but remember eternity outlasts any diet fad. |
| Pray for discernment and for deceivers. | Truth and grace travel together (John 1 : 14). |
Conclusion: Truth Stands the Test of Time
RF Safe’s mission has always centered on protecting lives through truthful information. That commitment extends beyond EMF science to defending spiritual truth when it is publicly maligned. Mike Adams’s Easter thread isn’t a fresh gospel—it’s an old distortion wearing natural‑health branding.
Christ’s resurrection remains history’s decisive answer to fear, deception, and death. Believers can stand firm, speak kindly, and point others to both physical wisdom and the unchanging Word that gives life.
“The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God will stand forever.” — Isaiah 40 : 8
