Since I write against the cults, I thought I would add some of the links here so more people can find them. I do not write to persuade the cultists of his or her errant and damnable views. I write so that those who are true believer may understand our saving faith all the more, and rejoice that we have been delivered from such wickedness.
Mormonism
Joel Osteen Believes Mormons to be Christians
Christian Science. — This one I have a particular interest in, since I was raised a Christian Scientist and saved from this cult, by grace, through Jesus Christ.
A Response to a Christian Scientist — This is the first in a series of exchanges I had with a Christian Science practitioner. These are like their priests and those in their faith go to them for healing and prayer… A practitioner earns his living by doing this, so they have a vested interested in seeing more healings than one can imagine.
A Second Response to a Christian Scientist
Ex-Christian Scientist: Don’t Let the Cults Redefine the Terms
Christianity too, is a cult.
Ironic that there are nigh on 22,000 different christian cults and none can agree with each other, yet all claim to believe in the same god.
Surely an omnipotent deity would have forseen all the nonsense?
Unless , of course, it was all man made to start with?
Just a thought….
Response to arkenaten. Yes, there are indeed even more than 22,000 Protestant Christian denominations. I will leave it up to you to check out the scriptures but Jesus very firmly and definitively established HIS church when he told Peter that “upon this rock I will build my church” and then he also sent the Holy Spirit to his disciples (the 12 that were left) and told them that when someone heard them, they would be hearing Him. So, there was 1 church established by Jesus and man messed with that concept in the 16th century when Protestantism arose and then confusion ensued. Rather than adhere to “all the revelation of God present in the Old and New Testaments, man started picking and choosing those things in which they would believe. Thus we have snake handlers, holy rollers, etc, etc. There was one church established by Jesus and it has survived for around 2000 years, it is called the Catholic Church.
Robert, the Catholic Church was already messed up by the time the Reformers came along. Remember, selling indulgences in order to get into heaven is found no where in Scripture. Belief in Jesus Christ for salvation is the gospel, not adding our works to it. His work is sufficient and efficient for salvation. Jesus Christ is the only Mediator between God and man. We don’t need popes, bishops, Mary, etc. Those are not endorsed by Scripture anywhere, just man’s imagination.
