The Bible, God's inspired Words, plainly teaches in 1st Corinthians 3:11
that the foundation of Christianity is Jesus Christ. Roman Catholics are
errantly taught that Peter was the rock upon which Jesus said the Church
would be built. However, this is a false teaching not taught in the Bible.
The name “Peter” in the Greek New Testament means “petros” (i.e., a small
stone or rock); BUT, Jesus is referred to as “Petra” (a large rock or
mountain). In the original Greek Jesus said, “Thou art petros [a little
piece of rock], and upon this Petra [bedrock] I will build my church.”
Clearly, Jesus was NOT speaking about Peter, because Peter was only a small
stone; Jesus was referring to Himself.
Further evidence of this fundamental Bible truth is found in the following Scriptures:
Luke 20:17, “And he beheld them, and said, What is this then that is written, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner?”
Acts 4:11, “This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner.”
1st Peter 2:7: “Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner.”
Any genuine architect will tell you that the most important stone in any building is the first stone, called “the cornerstone” (or the head of the corner). The cornerstone is usually larger than the other stones, perfectly squared, measured with a level to be 100% true and accurate. Upon this one stone the entire building will be erected. A chalk plumbline is used to place a perfectly straight line upon the ground with chalk, so you have a guideline to follow while laying bricks. Everything depends upon the accuracy of the foundation.
Or, if you want to think in terms of clothing... If the first button is wrong, then all the other buttons will be wrong too. If you get the first button right, then all the other buttons will be right. This is why the evil global elite started public schools, so they could ruin children at an early age. Many teenagers these days are parents or have had an abortion before leaving highschool. Their lives are totally messed-up and plagued with problems before they even turn 18, and most kids don't finish high school in many cities across America. The Devil wants your child. Why do you think Katy Perry is photod with a knife to her eye. Another picture shows Justin Bieber with a bloody steak over his eye. What's with the EYE? It's all about the New World Order, and it's straight from the pits of Hell.
The only true and sure foundation is Jesus Christ, which is plainly stated in 1st Corinthians 3:11, “For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.” It's that simple. That's the dividing line between a religious cult verses the New Testament Church is the FOUNDATION. When a man or woman, or manmade creed or human organization is the foundation of a church or spiritual organization, it is a religious cult. The ONLY true foundation is Jesus Christ, Who is the Word of God (John 1:1-3; Revelation 19:13). The Bible is the Authority of the Church, not the pastor or some men on an arrogant board of directors (501c3).
Every false religion can be traced back to a man,
woman or group of people. I just saw a documentary of the Mormon cult in
America, 30% of who live in Salt lake City, Utah. Of the world's estimated
14,000,000 Mormons, about 6,000,000 live in the United States.
Signs of a Cult
Here are seven common signs of a cult. Even just one of these things is a sign of a cult:
- ATTACKING OR DOWNPLAYING THE BIBLE AS THE FINAL AUTHORITY (Matthew 4:4).
- LEADERSHIP COMMITTING ADULTERY OR PERVERSION (Revelation 2:20)
- COMMUNAL LIVING - Everybody's living on the same street or in a compound, trying to isolate people from their families and friends.
-
MOVING YOU TO A REMOTE LOCATION - Aka, Jim Jones.
- NOT ALLOWING YOU TO LEAVE, OR INTIMIDATING PEOPLE FROM LEAVING.
- CULTS HAVE AN US AGAINST THEM ATTITUDE THAT WE ARE THE ONLY CHURCH - Aka, Seventh-day Adventists, Jehovah's Witnesses, et cetera.
- NOT ENCOURAGING YOU TO STUDY THE BIBLE ON YOUR
OWN.
Church Universal And Triumphant (CUT) Cult
In 1988, Elizabeth Clare Prophet led her cult followers to build a $25,000,000 underground shelter in Montana that would house 750 people for 7 months. Her cult was called The Church Universal And Triumphant. She set a doomsday, predicting a Russian nuclear holocaust. Elizabeth taught New Age occultism, leading members in high-speed chanting, moaning and meditating with demonic memorization. It shows the power of mass-hysteria on people. Prophet's doomsday was a shock that never came. They had spent $25,000,000 for nothing!!! Crazy, huh? People sold their car, went into debt and squandered their inheritance. Finally, after the failed prophecy, the destruction of people's lives started waking people up, especially her own children who abandoned the religious cult. Elizabeth Prophet died in 1999.
Today, the cult's Montana ranches are still going
strong, attracting visitors from around the world. They are a cult, but
present administrator's deny the charge, daring to call themselves “a church.”
Much like the Seventh Day Adventist religious cult that began with William
Miller's (a wayward fake Baptist preacher) false doomsday prophecy, so also is
Elizabeth Clare' Prophet's bizarre cult.
Seventh-day Adventism Cult
SDA's believe and teach that they're religion is the only true religion. They strongly believe that the Sabbath Day is still valid and that God never intended for churches to worship God on Sundays. In fact, according to Seventh-day Adventism, all the churches that worship God on Sunday are antichrist. Yes, you read that right, antichrist. They believe that “antichrist” refers to a system of rebellion against God, including the churches that gather on Sundays instead of Saturdays (i.e., the Sabbath). Literally, SDA's worship the Sabbath, exalting it above all else.
The King James Bible is God's perfect and inspired Word. According to Colossians 2:14-16, the Sabbath Day was nailed to the cross. Colossians 2:14-16, “Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it. Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days.” The Sabbath Day was a ceremonial law, which foreshadowed Jesus Christ, Who today is our Sabbath in Whom we completely rest for salvation (Hebrews 4:10-11).
SDA's teach a form of Lordship Salvation, easily
evidenced by a study on their exclusive doctrine of the “Investigative
Judgment.” The SDA members that I've witnessed to cringe when I mention
that term, because they know it exposes them as a fraud, going back to a
failed prophecy in 1844. SDA is a satanic religious cult. Adventists are not
true Christians, because they trust in a
works-based false Gospel.
Jim Jones Cult
One of the most popular religious cult leaders in modern history was Jim Jones (1931-1978), who murdered 914 people in Jonestown, Guyana. Over 300 of the victims were children. Although called “a suicide” by authorities, survivors of the event reveal that members were threatened with execution if they didn't cooperate. Jones was so popular that he and the mayor of San Francisco were friends. Further research reveals that Jim Jones was a homosexual and involved with the occult Bohemian Grove.
The leader of the Thule Society in the 1930s was Dietrich Eckhart .He was Hitler's mentor who nurtured and led him into the world of the supernatural. In the Thule group in Munich , Eckhart, Alfred Rosenberg and Hitler held séances and communicated with demons. Eckhart believed that a dark spirit had informed him that he was the guardian of the coming "great one," the "Antichrist." Eckhart said on his deathbed; "Follow Hitler; he will dance, but it is I who have called the tune. I have initiated him into the secret doctrine, opened his centres in vision and given him the means to communicate with the powers."
When Eckhart had completed his "training" of Hitler ; Hitler described his spiritual experiences as a transformation and believed his had been "Born Anew," "Born Again"!
I have been involved since 1994 in a campaign to expose a Satanic cult which has members in hundreds of countries across the world. I have discovered over these 7 years that this cult can be traced back to the USA where it was spawned in the 1970s. In the early 1970s, the CIA were involved in mind control research on human guinea pigs , this research program was called MK-ULTRA. Congress directed the CIA in 1973 to cease it's program but instead the CIA carried on it's mind control program, using "religious Cults" as fronts and covers for their research and practice.
The CIA recruited Jim Jones (his father was a Ku Klux Klan member), the head of the Indianapolis Church, The Peoples Temple Gospel Church. The CIA involvement with Jim Jones culminated in the so-called "suicides" in Guyana in 1978 of 911 members of The People's Temple!
Heaven's Gate Cult
In March of 1997, Heaven's Gate cult leader, Marshal Applewhite (1931-1997) led his followers to commit mass religious suicide in order to reach an alleged passing alien UFO. They mixed poison with applesauce. They commit suicide in shifts, not all at once. It was calm and calculated. They took the poison and then put bags over their heads to suffocate themselves. Police arrived and smelled the rotting bodies. They were all dressed alike, wearing a patch on their arms that said Heaven's Gate. Some of the men had been castrated, surgically, to eliminate sexual urges. It's hard to imagine how a large group can be influenced to such a insane point. It shows the power of influence that we have as humans upon one another. Mob mentality is dangerous, or good, depending on the leader.
This is why the American newsmedia is so deadly. The Bush administration got caught orchestrating the 911 attacks, but they got away with it because of the power of the lying newsmedia. I saw a book at a Best-Seller bookstore, and now there's a show on TV, portraying Dick Cheney as a strong leader who's less than perfect. The truth is that Dick Cheney is an accomplice to one of the largest mass-murder conspiracies in history. 2,745 innocent American citizens were murdered on September 11, 2001 in the Trade Tower attacks. The thousands of exhibits of evidence are both circumstantial and solid.
Police found 39 bodies in San Diego, California.
Religion is a form of mind-programming. The Bible even admits this in
Romans 10:17, “So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of
God.” That means faith in God or anything that you are being
indoctrinated to believe. As Christians we desire to be programmed with the
holy Scriptures. God created the human mind beautifully, in such a manner that
our brains are very impressionable and powerful, even able to perceive
subliminal messages without the conscious mind detecting. That is so amazing!
Growing In Grace International Cult
2012 doomsday. Destructive cults are going to increase in popularity as we enter into the End Times. This is a Korean cult.
