Healing From Cults
There are
a
number of religious movements that sociologists call Cults. These
are groups that often claim some relationship with Christianity,
but deviate at certain great issues. There are some
doctrines
that all Christians accept as essential and there are
some doctrines that are not that consequential. For
example,
some Christians have strong views about the details of the return of
Jesus.
However, the Bible does not give us the details that many of
these
people believe. It is of no great consequence.
However,
Christians are united in believing that Jesus
is
God in the flesh, he died on the cross, was resurrected, and all this
was
done for sinful mankind. All Christians affirm the Trinity,
although
they may not be able to explain all the relationships of the Father,
Son
and Holy Spirit, yet they all agree that this is a very important
teaching. What divides many Christians is not these central doctrines,
but how the church should be organized and what is the
meaning
of the sacraments, or religious rites.
The cults
are different. They may use Christian words with totally
different
meanings denying many of the distinctively Christian beliefs..
The following sites will help to understand some of the unorthodox views of the groups descibed as cults. This is not an endorsement of each site. Much valuable information can be gained but it must always be judged in light of the Bible.
