Oxford dictionary defines a cult as; a system of religious veneration and devotion directed toward a particular figure, relatively small group of people having religious beliefs or practices regarded by others as strange or sinister, a misplaced or excessive admiration for a particular person. This definition, when you think very carefully about it, would apply to Jesus and his disciples. Remember, this is how those who think of themselves as “experts “ define a cult. Most think a cult is always evil like Jim Jones or Maurice Applewhite, the word cult is Latin “ cultus” and is a form of the word , Colere, a verb meaning to worship a deity. Therefore a cult can be good or evil depending on if it is truly from God or not. When it comes to all the cults, churches “ , of this world there can be only one that is of God while all the others are false. Ephesians 4:4 , 1 Corinthians 12:13 Some think that the one body, one church, is the combination of all churches calling themselves Christian ; if you cannot see the obvious problem with this thinking then I can’t help you. You may be in agreement that the Jehovahs Witnesses, Mormons, Worldwide Church of God, Branch Dravidian’s or Unification Church are cults but somehow the Catholic, Lutherans, Methodists and Baptists are not. There is only one cult that was truly from God and it is totally unknown by the world. Even some false ministers speak about it calling it, “the invisible church”. Google the invisible church, this invisible church is the ONLY church the visible or institutional church is false and are the bad cults. The visible false churches have no idea of what the invisible church is like because to know you must be in it and they are not. So the next time you see and hear some expert explain what cults are know this, they know nothing.
