The following articles were researched and compiled, for the benefit and welfare of people in cults and false religions to come to a saving relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ.
It is my sincere hope and prayer, that these exposes will demonstrate just how far self-appointed leaders go in promoting their nonsensical religions and ideas.
I
would invite anybody who reads my work to check all these facts, figures and quotes
for themselves - don't take my word for it; please check it out for yourself!
There
are far too many people today who do not research background material to the religions
that they aspire to and support very generously. Yet it seems they are quite content
to commit their lives to such flawed organisations, which can only end in perpetual
damnation, for their souls!
The Bible says:
"Prove all things; hold fast that which is good" (1 Thess. 5:21.)
In April 1521, the Catholic monk, Martin Luther appeared before his ecclesiastical accusers at the Diet of Worms. He had been given a papal ultimatum: Church or Scripture? Luther it is reported said:
"Unless I am convinced by Scripture and plain reason - I do
not accept the authority of popes and councils, for they have contradicted each other -
my conscience is captive to the Word of God...God help me! Here I stand."
The reformation that was soon to follow and bring down many religious
walls was, in my opinion, the most important event in the history of the Church of
God, second only to the birth, death, and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. No
other event since 30AD, past or present, has made such an enormous impact on the lives
of so many, and still continues to do so.
Man would finally be able to read the word of God for himself in
his own vernacular, and this in return, would bring great blessings and spiritual
awareness for the child of God; but would also cause great responsibly and accountability
to all who seek the true path of Bible teaching.
However, and sadly, there is a deficiency to this, for Scripture
would envisage that unlearned and unstable people would appear on the historical religious
plateau, and would immediately begin to destroy sacred doctrines that had already
been nailed to the cross, and set in stone under the seal of the precious blood of
Christ (1 Pet. 1:19.)
Of course this is nothing new, for even in apostolic times, such
men were evident and active in their own communities (Acts 8:18; 20:29-31), with more
appearing in the last days (2 Pet. 2:1-3.)
The Church of God, established by the Lord Jesus Christ over 2,000
years ago, has stood for the Trinity of God, the Deity of Christ, His full
and sufficient atonement, and His imminent return.
Unfortunately, heretics, cult leaders and
charlatans like David Koresh, Jim Jones, "father" Divine, Benny Hinn, Rodney Howard-Browne,
Kenneth Copeland, Kenneth Hagan, Pat Robertson, Larry Lea, Robert Tilton and W.V.
Grant - just to mention a few - have all flirted and fitted into the willing
mould of unstable and unlearned men, and with such devastating consequences, have
ruined the lives of so many unsuspecting and gullible people (Hos. 4:6.)
Clarence Larkin rightly said in 1916, the following about these types of people:
"Those who claim to have received new and later "revelations" are impostors and false prophets."
Regrettably, and worryingly, their sympathisers have remained active, and they now continue to head some of the worlds more infamous and largest cults.
It is therefore the job of all true Bible believing Christians
to expose darkness wherever it is discovered (Eph. 5:11.)
Only then can salvation be presented to the sinner. |
