Bible Question:
Greetings Ross! The point I made was simply that the word "cult" depends upon your perspective. Here is the ultimate test of a cult: Who do you say Jesus is? Is He God? Is He eternal? Is He the only way to salvation? Is He just one among many prophets or imans? Your answer to these questions will make it perfectly clear if Baha'i is a cult or not! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
Bible Answer: That is entirely unfair, Tim. You can't define a cult based on Christian terms. Many non Christians believe US to be a cult. Yes many cults have charismatic leaders but that is NOT what defines them. Cults are defined by "separatism" and extreme faith. Obsessive beliefs. Separatism meaning they withdraw from the world as a whole. Communal living as a way to protect their fragile and fanatical belief systems from external influence which may poke holes in their faith. Jim Jones founded a cult and he LOVED God. The Hale Bop people were a cult. Separatism, castration and suicide. You can't label people a cult because they don't believe Jesus is Lord. Remember Christians are still being killed today. Martyred for Christ. Not by cults. By governmental fanatic, by religious fanatics and even by each other. Please, just let it go. Lisa |
