The Rise of Cults in America: A Survey of Church History with W. Robert Godfrey 

11

Calvinism is a cult that includes eccentric theology. This cult’s theology is eccentric because they deny the Biblical text, distort Christ’s atonement, and believes we are robots. Maybe this channel should think about this.

That's God's Providence that protect us from these modern heresies! Mine was the " word faith movement" But even then, I still remember RC Sproul and J Vernon McGee on a radio! You know, when you take a good look back over your life, You'll see evidence He's always been there..... 🤔 Are sanctification walk is just conditioning us to see exactly where! 🙏😚✝️

I have asked people in the Christian Science religion what they believed and I could never get an answer. What do they believe?

@@JESUSisLORD24151 Maybe you should ask Tom Cruise. Lol 😊

@@1Whipperin definitely good advice to read the word, however God does give us pastors who love His word and their aim is to love the church as Christ has commanded and by God’s grace they do. We can to an extent trust and according to God’s word (1 Thessalonians 5) we are to love and be thankful for the faithful ones who labor for us in love and are over us in the church (elders and such). That doesn’t mean praising false teachers or abusive people who abuse God’s word and don’t live up to what elders are supposed to qualify as according to books such as Timothy. Anyways I just wanted to say that. God bless you all

@@JESUSisLORD24151 as a child being brought up in that religion basically what I took from it was they deny evil and sin in the world which was a major conflict with what my reality was I grew up in an alcoholic household and was sexually abused by my stepfather. My grandmother was a practitioner in that religion people would call her and she would pray for them I remember her telling them “it’s in your mind you gotta have good thoughts cast out the evilL “ we never went to doctors either. One time she fell and broke her arm never went to doctor just made a sling

I read William J. Schnell's book

If JWs believe Jesus has returned, why did they continue to observe the Lord's Evening Meal??? The Apostle Paul said in his first letter to the church in Corinth "For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes". (1 Corinthians chapter 11 verse 26).

I have recent encounters with JW's and they are very persistent. The issue I have is that they do not use scripture but refers me to JW website. No proof of scripture and I already see the red flag there.n

Beware the cult of Calvinism, as well.

@@digitallifeline162 ha! Good question. I don't remember how they squared that up (other than they were partaking until he came back at Armageddon) so I'll have to look it up.

@@hr2r805 Amen Bless the name of the Lord

I think your statement applies to Calvinism, which is a cult that includes eccentric theology. This cult’s theology is eccentric because they deny the Biblical text, distort Christ’s atonement, and believes we are robots. This ministry is Calvinism, which means this ministry is part of a cult.

“For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.” Departing from there, He went into their synagogue. And a man was there whose hand was withered. And they questioned Jesus, asking, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?”-so that they might accuse Him. And He said to them, “What man is there among you who has a sheep, and if it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will he not take hold of it and lift it out? How much more valuable then is a man than a sheep! So then, it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath.” Then He *said to the man, “Stretch out your hand!” He stretched it out, and it was restored to normal, like the other. But the Pharisees went out and conspired against Him, as to how they might destroy Him. But Jesus, aware of this, withdrew from there. Many followed Him, and He healed them all, and warned them not to tell who He was. This was to fulfill what was spoken through Isaiah the prophet:” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭12‬:‭8‬-‭17‬ ‭ “The Pharisees were saying to Him, “Look, why are they doing what is not lawful on the Sabbath?” And He *said to them, “Have you never read what David did when he was in need and he and his companions became hungry; how he entered the house of God in the time of Abiathar the high priest, and ate the consecrated bread, which is not lawful for anyone to eat except the priests, and he also gave it to those who were with him?” Jesus said to them, “The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath. So the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath.”” ‭‭Mark‬ ‭2‬:‭24‬-‭28‬ ‭ “On another Sabbath He entered the synagogue and was teaching; and there was a man there whose right hand was withered. The scribes and the Pharisees were watching Him closely to see if He healed on the Sabbath, so that they might find reason to accuse Him. But He knew what they were thinking, and He said to the man with the withered hand, “Get up and come forward!” And he got up and came forward. And Jesus said to them, “I ask you, is it lawful to do good or to do harm on the Sabbath, to save a life or to destroy it?” After looking around at them all, He said to him, “Stretch out your hand!” And he did so; and his hand was restored. But they themselves were filled with rage, and discussed together what they might do to Jesus.” ‭‭Luke‬ ‭6‬:‭6‬-‭11‬ ‭ “On the first day of the week, when we were gathered together to break bread, Paul began talking to them, intending to leave the next day, and he prolonged his message until midnight.” ‭‭Acts‬ ‭20‬:‭7‬

There is no foundation for the change of the Sabbath in Scripture. True followers of Christ will love Him and keep all ten commandments, not just nine. Sunday observance is the "mark of Papal authority". The Sabbath is the seal of God. (Ezekiel 20:12,20) (Isaiah 58:13,14) (Revelation 14:12)

If God could have changed His law Jesus would not have needed to die and resurrect to redeem mankind. Christ did not come to change the law; He came to fulfill it. (Matthew 5:16-17) Jesus Christ is the embodiment of the law. Prayerfully read Romans chapter 8. We are not saved by keeping the law. This is very clear in the Scripture. We OBEY God's law because we LOVE HIM. (John 14:15) We are empowered to obey God by receiving CHRIST'S RIGHTEOUSNESS by faith. We are saved by THE BLOOD OF JESUS THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH

@@janiceeteme5536 I showed you that Yeshua said he is the lord of the sabbath and that means it’s not about the day. You can not show an ounce of evidence that not worshiping Yahweh on the Sabbath is the mark of the beast.

@@ThethomasJefferson The day is indeed not the issue. The issue is who's AUTHORITY do you acknowledge. Sunday worship is the mark of Papal authority, not God's authority. Whatever God tells us to do, we ought to do it because He said to do it

@@Mergețipejoscaesanatos agreed.

No, there is no conjuring of spirits in our temples. You may perhaps be misunderstanding or the one from whom you got it is the one who misunderstands. Though I must ask; you say Mormons: are they members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints or a different church who uses the Book of Mormon? When I say "our temples", I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I can't speak to what others do.

@@jonathanettinger6970 Jon 🙄

@@LauRoot892 and eyes are rolling because...??

@@jonathanettinger6970 lol 😆 where are you From ?? Nice 😊 meeting you !😆💕

@@Mergețipejoscaesanatos I listed Scripture. The ten commandments have NOT been done away with. The ceremonial law was abolished at the cross. Revelation and John are in the NEW TESTAMENT

@@Mergețipejoscaesanatos Read the ten commandments

@@janiceeteme5536 I hope you are not going to church on the Sabbath. You are breaking the commandment. Exodus 16:29 See, for that the Lord hath given you the sabbath, therefore he giveth you on the sixth day the bread of two days; abide ye every man in his place, let no man go out of his place on the seventh day.

God started the church on a Sunday. It was called Pentecost. 50 days after Passover. Lev. 23 and Acts 2

@@jlewis8145 wow....🙏

Wasn't Daniel talking about the Jewish Temple? The Heavently Temple needed cleansing?

@@Mergețipejoscaesanatos When Jesus resurrected from laying down His life on the cross to save us; He went back to heaven to begin His ministry in the Holy place of the heavenly sanctuary. He applied His blood to every sinner that accepts Him as Lord and Savior. The earthly sanctuary (the sanctuary that Israel was instructed to build in the wilderness and that King Solomon built in Jerusalem) was a "type" pointing to the actual sanctuary in heaven (Revelation 11:19). Daniel 8:14 points to the anti-typical day of atonement! Meaning that Christ went into the most holy place to begin the judgment of those who had died down through the ages Christ is still out High Priest completing this work of judgment in the most Holy Place of the heavenly sanctuary until probation closes for all mankind. Read Daniel 12:1.

@@janiceeteme5536 OKAY, CHRIST, died and was RESURRECTED to the Right Hand of God. He is SINCE HIGH PRIEST, INTERCEDING... Miller said, in 1844 October 22, CHRIST started to INTERCEDE?

@@Mergețipejoscaesanatos No, Christ started the time of investigative judgment. Meaning all those who had died before and had believed by faith or not believed in the Messiah ( Jesus) by faith we're being judged. Those coming after, living at that time were also being judged. Every generation from the beginning of time until now is being judged. We are living in the time of judgement. This goes directly in line with the Sanctuary service and with the 3 angel's message of Revelation 14:6-12. On the day of atonement ( which came once a year) for Israel! All sins had to be confessed and in the sanctuary so that on the day of atonement the blood shed by the lamb could atone for and wash away ALL sin ( cleanse the sins out of Sanctuary). This is why it is so important for All of God's people to STUDY THE SANCTUARY MESSAGE The whole plan of salvation is IN THE SANCTUARY. We as God's people are SPIRITUAL ISRAEL. Please pray and ask the Holy Spirit to teach you the truth of the Sanctuary message. The Holy Spirit is The Spirit of Truth. He will guide you into all truth. This is a promise from God's word.

@@janiceeteme5536 Thank you for taking the time to clarify, I will try to understand what you are explaining... but, the Old Testament saints, are SAVED, because they were looking forward, by FAITH, to MESSIA, Abraham's Seed... I appreciate your efforts, regards

Yes

They wouldn’t count as a cult, seen as they do not have a following of beliefs like a religious organization. They are a group of individuals that have beliefs in any higher power that are working to better the community. They are far from what they were 100, 200 or so years ago and they are nothing of what you hear of them.

@@ThethomasJefferson Belief in "any higher power" other than the triune God, which Jewish Kabballah denies, is certainly a cult. good try though.

@@crushedrighthand3090 expect that is not their main focus, it would be one thing if the organization was like a religious organization like a “church” this is a club not a “church” so by definition it not. If you go based of the definition Merriam-Webster cult noun ˈkəlt often attributive 1 : a religion regarded as unorthodox or spurious (see SPURIOUS sense 2) also : its body of adherents the voodoo cult a satanic cult 2 a : great devotion to a person, idea, object, movement, or work (such as a film or book) criticizing how the media promotes the cult of celebrity especially : such devotion regarded as a literary or intellectual fad b : the object of such devotion c : a usually small group of people characterized by such devotion the singer's cult of fans The film has a cult following. 3 : a system of religious beliefs and ritual also : its body of adherents the cult of Apollo 4 : formal religious veneration : WORSHIP 5 : a system for the cure of disease based on dogma set forth by its promulgator Trust me, my father-in-law is part of the freemason, I have others, and I was asked to join. It is just a club and not a cult.

I was a Freemason, I got saved and couldn’t remain. I chose to leave because you can’t speak about Jesus in Lodge. You may offend someone who believes in a different ‘god’ than you do. I would say yes, it is a cult, in the sense that it is trying to suppress Jesus through this universalism type of fraternity. I always wondered if they would be involved in the ‘one world religion’.

As is the Bible......cheers!!!

Jesus is God! When you believe that He died for your sins, and rose from the grave 3 days later where He ascended into heaven and you believe that you are saved by His grace, you are saved. No other gods. He is God alone.

He is a reformed minister.He is a God follower

Looks like somebody got his cult toes stepped on.

Yes, he is a Reformed Calvinist and a follower of God (Christ), and so am I. 😊

@@TheRealJimW it might be Calvin and his followers

Calvin got the credit but reformed theology started with Augustine and the teaching of the apostles. That's the reason it's called reformed. The reformed theologians returned the gospel back to it's original meaning. 🙏

@@7748bassfisherman Where are you from 😒

Martin Luther is a saint. Not the apostate Roman Catholic saint but someone that called out their heresy of selling indulgences for the redemption of souls. Not sure what bible you have but mine says this Ephesians 2:8-10 New International Version 8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God- 9 not by works, so that no one can boast. 10 For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. The works are a result of being saved. BY FAITH ONLY!

@@mikemccormick9667 All christians are saints. Luther was not a christian. The Roman Catholic church was and is an evil institution. Luther was a false teacher and faith only is massive heresy.

@@numbers22_28 How arrogant is sinful man that he THINKS he can do anything to add to the crucifixion and Resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. That is heresy!

RCC has done a great job in departing from the word

@@mikemccormick9667 Well we can not add to His word whichbis what faith only proponents do.

How so?

@@jgarcia5214 she defended William Miller in the main comment section. Probably just a Seventh Day Adventist that doesn’t like the truth being taught!

Repent of your ignorance of the Word of God (Christ). Clearly, you are blinded by biblical truth.
