greetings bstudent, There are a few different ways to define a cult. It depends on whether you are speaking in socoicological terms or religous terms. I would assume your question comes from Hanks question to Miss JW.. In the religous sense a cult would be defined as any group that teaches something other than biblical Christanity while still trying to use Jesus's name.. In the case of JWs deny the dieity of Jesus Christ they deny that hell is a real place, they believe that only 144,000 people will go to Heaven and those from the Heavenly class of the JWs withch Ielive they sy ended in 1935. These are some examples of why a group would be called a cult. A wonderful book on this subject is THE KINGDOM OF THE CULTS by Walter Martin there are currently two editions avaible one edit by Hank Henegraft and one edited by Ravi Zacharis. hope this helps tgc |
