THE OTHER JESUS

of the CULTS

SECTION A

II Corinthians 11:4

Matthew 24:4,5,11

CULTS

1. Defined: A group that follows a

particular teaching or

behavior practice.

2. Non-Christian Cult defined:

a. Adherence to MAJOR doctrines

which are pointedly contradictory

to orthodox Christianity, while

claiming origins or harmony with

Christianity.

b. Always built, not on what the

Bible teaches, but upon what the

FOUNDER(S) of the cult said the

Bible teaches and thrives on

ignorance and uncertainity.

c. Use Bible quotations out of

context.

(The Bible says it is

OK to disobey God - but the one

in the Bible saying that is

SATAN!)

HOW DO YOU IDENTIFY THEM?

1. ONLY TRUE CHURCH

a. "Do you represent the ONLY true church?"

"Is yours the ONLY true Church?"

b. If "Truth is Everywhere and ALL religions

seek after truth!"

c. If YES or they are EVASIVE - then WATCH OUT!

2. SHEEP STEALING

a. Whom do they seek to convert? Do

you see them on skid row or with

the natives of Java or do you

find them in established

religious areas populated with

Baptist or any other Christian

members? If Not, then they are

proslytizing and the Bible

condemns this practice.

3. MORE THAN THE BIBLE REVELATIONS

AND/OR SCRIPTURES

a. THE BIBLE (God's INFALLIBLE Word

to Mankind) has withstood the

test of time and persecution and

is the MOST Anti-Cult Manual you

will ever find.

[Kingdom of the Cults, Rise of

the Cults, The New Cults, Where

Does it Say That?, and others]

b. The Leaders (Prophets) claim

SECRET divine knowledge given

ONLYto them and use this to drum

up support as well as using an

additional source for "better

clarification of their beliefs.

>. BOOK OF MORMON, PEARL OF GREAT PRICE

>. WATCHTOWER MAGAZINE

>. THE PLAIN TRUTH NEWSPAPER

>. SCIENCE AND HEALTH WITH KEY TO THE

SCRIPTURES

>. DIVINE PRINCIPLES (Moon's)

4. THINKING HAS ALL BEEN DONE

a. "When our Leaders (Prophets,

Guru, "True Parents") propose a

plan, when our leaders speak, the

thinking has been done."

There is no room to disagree or

to "TEST ALL THINGS - HOLD FAST

TO THAT WHICH IS TRUE.

b. Extremes: JONESTOWN, MOONIES, or

LOCAL CHURCH These "Divine"

Leaders allowed no contention

with their teachings and required

that all did EXACTLY as told

because "they were spokesmen for

God". Brigham Young taught that

the Sun was populated by people

like ourselves!

c. There is no such thingas a

Mormon or a Moonie that "doesn't

believe such and such" or a

Krishna that does not sell

flowers or a Jehovah's Witness

that does not sell the

Watchtower! It is required of

these groups to believe ALL and

to do ALL that is instructed from

the leadership.

5. SALVATION BY GRACE ..... AND ......

A. Mormons - WORKS, APPROVAL BY

JOSEPH SMITH,Jr(Eph 3:8-12)

B. ARMSTRONG - Law of Moses (Acts

15:1)

C. Jehovah's Witnesses - ATTEND ALL

MEETINGS, SELL MAGAZINES

(Awake, Watchtower etc)

[Romans 11:6 and Ephesians 2:8-

10]

6. THE SIZZLE OR THE ATTRACTION TO "SELL"

A. Cults appeal to "reason" and

"rationality"

1. Hell is "unreasonable"

2. Eternal Punishment is

"irrational"

3. Conciousness after death is

"pagan"

B. Cults prosper in direct ratio to

the fluctuating emphasis which

the Christian Church has placed

on the teaching of Biblical

doctrines to Christian Laymen.

SPIRITUAL PRETZELS doctrines

to Christian Laymen.

on the teaching of Biblical

the Christian Church has placed

the fluctuating emphasis which

B. Cults prosper in direct ratio to

"pagan"

3. Conciousness

C. Mormons - Perfect Welfare System:

Politically Right Wing

D. Witnesses - No political ties

E. Moonies, Krishnas - Alternative

to Drugs, etc.
