Christian or cult? What does the Bible say about cults?

Hello friends.

I pray that you all will have a blessed day 🙏🏾. For each moment and second of the day we need to stay close to our beloved FATHER GOD and HIS SON JESUS.

We who have accepted JESUS as savior know we will be going to heaven for sure as we stay on the path to righteousness. With JESUS leading us as the light!

But then there are people we know who have not accepted JESUS as savior. For whatever reason, they choose not to allow JESUS in their lives they will not have JESUS in death either.

What is the definition of a cult?

ANSWER from site: https://www.gotquestions.org/cult-definition.html

When people hear the word cult, they often think of a group that worships Satan, sacrifices animals, or takes part in evil, bizarre, and pagan rituals. However, in reality, a cult rarely involves such things. In fact, a cult, in the broadest sense of the word, is simply a religious system with particular rites and customs.

Usually, though, a cult is more narrowly defined, and the word refers to an unorthodox sect whose members distort the original doctrines of the religion. In a Christian context, the definition of a cult is, specifically, “a religious group that denies one or more of the fundamentals of biblical truth.” A cult is a group that teaches doctrines that, if believed, will cause a person to remain unsaved. A cult claims to be part of a religion, yet it denies essential truth(s) of that religion. Therefore, a Christian cult will deny one or more of the fundamental truths of Christianity while still claiming to be Christian.

The two most common teachings of Christian cults are that Jesus was not God and that salvation is not by faith alone. A denial of the deity of Christ results in the view that Jesus’ death was insufficient to pay for our sins. A denial of salvation by faith alone results in the teaching that salvation is achieved by our own works. The apostles dealt with cults in the early years of the church: for example, John addresses the teaching of Gnosticism in 1 John 4:1–3. John’s litmus test for godly doctrine was “Jesus Christ has come in the flesh” (verse 2)—a direct contradiction of the Gnostic heresy (cf. 2 John 1:7).

The two most well-known examples of cults today are the Jehovah’s Witnesses and Mormons. Both groups claim to be Christian, yet both deny the deity of Christ and salvation by faith alone. Jehovah’s Witnesses and Mormons believe many things that are in agreement with or similar to what the Bible teaches. However, the fact that they deny the deity of Christ and preach a salvation by works qualifies them as cults. Many Jehovah’s Witnesses, Mormons, and members of other cults are moral people who genuinely believe they hold the truth. As Christians, our hope and prayer must be that many people involved in cults will see through the lies and will be drawn to the truth of salvation through faith in Jesus Christ alone.

Now , GODS word from the Bible kjv. GOD’S Word is the truth.

2 John Chapter 1

7 For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.

8 Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward.

9 Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.

10 If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:

No one can get into heaven by works or just being nice. Or polite. That’s like trying to but your way onto heaven.

We need to accept JESUS, HE is the only way into heaven to dwell with our beloved FATHER GOD and HIS SON JESUS for all eternity.

Please pass this message onto others so they will know they can’t enter into heaven with accepting JESUS as their savior 🙏🏾

Peace and blessings ❤️

Our beloved GOD doesn’t send anyone to hell.

Hello friends!

I have heard many people say that GOD sends people to hell. And that HE hates mankind. This is not true. GOD is a loving, perfect FATHER GOD. If HE were not, then why would HE send JESUS to save our souls?

When you think about it, GOD sent JESUS to save the world and not to condenm it? Did not JESUS come to save all of mankind from our sins? And what about the sacrifice that was made on the cross and the death of JESUS on the cross?

JESUS is a gift from GOD. Our ever loving perfect GOD, who loves us so much that HE sent JESUS as a gift from heaven. A way out of this world into GODs world in heaven. Where there is perfect love and peace for all of eternity long.

John 3:16

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”

King James Version (KJV)

Why would our beloved FATHER GOD send us such a precious gift such as HIS only son down to earth to suffer so by the very hand of whom HE came to save?

John 3:16 – For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Romans 5:8 – But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

1 John 4:19 – We love him, because he first loved us.

Isaiah 41:13 – For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee.

1 John 4:10 – Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

Romans 8:35-39 – Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?   

Jeremiah 31:3 – The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee.

1 John 4:8 – He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.

Galatians 2:20 – I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

1 John 3:1 – Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.

Zephaniah 3:17 – The LORD thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing.

John 15:13 – Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

Ephesians 3:19 – And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.

Now the devil is telling making lies again as he had done to Eve in the garden of Eden to have her sin against GOD by lieing. And every time there is a chance the devil will lie to get mankind to turn away from GOD, JESUS and all that is Holy by GOD. Telling people that GOD hates them. Now see if GOD did hate us , we all would have been sent to hell.

But those who choose to turn away from GOD, and HIS son JESUS will be turned away at the gates of heaven too. If we reject the one who loves us perfectly and unconditionally at all times….then because we choose to leave from HIM, HE will still leave us alone. GOD is not going to force HIS self on any us if we dont want HIM in our lives. And the very lives HE gave us mind you.

John 15:13

“Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.”

King James Version (KJV)

Faith , trust and believing GODS word as true will encourage you. How will we know the truth of we dont read it for ourselves? Turning away from GOD and HIS son JESUS because you feel your sins wont be forgiven is wrong. Reading the Bible will show you all of the people who have sinned and repented and was saved. Starting from Genesis to Revelation.

The disciples in the Bible were not perfect men, they were common men. The woman at the well, the woman that was to be stoned for commiting adutlery. The Bible is very clear about these people. And they choose JESUS and was forgiven. King David was a man who sinned too and was forgiven. GOD loved them and forgave them.

Choose JESUS, repent and be saved. And HE will choose you at the gate of heaven and let you in.

Peace and blessing be to you!

GOD’S Love is perfect!

Hello friends!

I pray that all of you are well, who have stopped to read/share the word of GOD with me will be blessed!

When I think about the perfect, beautiful and ontime love that our beloved FATHER GOD has for all of us mankind, I am humbled!

1 John 4:16

“And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.”

King James Version (KJV)

For a perfect, one and only Supreme being to the utmost to love, not only me but all of mankind is so perfectly awesome to beyond human understanding. It is a good thing to trust and believe in GOD!

For our beloved FATHER GOD sent our savior JESUS to earth. To save our souls. To save us from out of this fallen world. And when you see all of the confusion that is going around you, you are happy and more than grateful to be saved and grateful for JESUS.

Zephaniah 3:17

“The LORD thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing.”

King James Version (KJV)

For GOD’S love is un-measurabley, perfect, and comforting. HE knows what we need even before we ask HIM. Because we depend on HIM.

JESUS, the one and only son of GOD, shines over us all to be the light. To show us the way out of darkness! All we have to do is accept the love gift of JESUS from our beloved FATHER GOD. Then, I will feel the warm and perfect love from GOD covering us at all times!

Have a blessed Sunday! Pass this message forward so others will get a blessing too from the reading of GODs word!

Peace and blessings!

Revelation 7:9. All people, all tribes from all lands.

Hello friends!

I hope all is well with you all and that you are having a blessed day!

When I read the word of GOD, I find peace and comfort knowing just how much HE loves us mankind by all HE has done to show it. It is so comforting to know that an ultimate and perfect powerful GOD can love us creation so much.

Patient with us creation too. Giving us all a chance to repent.

Just think about all of the people you have ever seen or heard from. Starting from your immediate family and friends to total strangers. To those you have gone to school with, college , church, and work with, too. To every voice and face you have had contact with. GOD has seen their face and knows their souls.

Don’t forget those you have never seen yet or may never see or meet on this side of heaven. But we true believers will meet in heaven when we all are called home

And those who have left and gone on before us will be there in heaven waiting for us there! Every one of our loved ones of family and friends.

Revelation 7:9

“After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;”

King James Version (KJV)

No matter what. We do in life or where we go. Even to run with the bulls as a challenge. GOD sees what you do, and me too, as I do this post. Protected by GOD’S perfect grace and love. Personally, I don’t know of any Christians who would go and run with the Bulls! 😁

That GOD is so patient with us mankind HE allows those of us who like challenges to see for ourselves of the consequences if things go a bit off.🫣🫣🫣

I try to plant a seed of faith just because I know that from scripture we Christians are messengers of GOD’S word. As like any other people loving Christian. Once we plant the seed, we step back and give GOD all of the glory.

It will be cool seeing every nation, people, tribes, and language there in heaven 😍! All getting along in one mind and body to give praise, honor glory to GOD! Seeing the peace and love there that we always seemed after.

Peaceful scene. Imagine how much more peace we will have in heaven!

1 Corinthians 8:6 Hold on to GOD!

Hello friends,

I do hope you all are well and safe.

In this day and time, when we focus on the word of GOD we will get so much more that comfort in reading it we know how much our FATHER GOD loves us. Because of how our FATHER GOD is, HIS ways and laws being so true that we depend on HIM.

We all have our Mom and earthly Dads. Be it if they were in our lives in the past or in our lives right now. They are two people who came together to make us. They may have been good to us or not. But these earthly parents were not perfect and neither are we. Our heavenly FATHER GOD is. GOD never sleeps.

Isaiah 41:13

“For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee.”

King James Version (KJV)

But the only perfect FATHER we all have is the creator, FATHER GOD of all heaven, earth and HIS creation. Us. HE watches over all of HIS children. HE knows when we are hurting, and gives us comfort. When we call on HIM he is there. HE keeps us safe from those who are wicked.

When you trust in the one and only FATHER GOD you depend on HIM to get you through the days minutes and hours.

Our FATHER GOD has a bond with all of HIS children that is so perfect. And to think about the body of CHRIST JESUS that all of us who has accepted JESUS we are brothers and sisters in the body of CHRIST JESUS. For we all will dwell in heaven together Praising GOD and HIS SON JESUS for their grace and mercy.

1 Corinthians 8:6

“But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.”

King James Version (KJV)

Our FATHER GOD is all we need to love and lead us through these days here on earth.

If our earthly Dad is not in our lives right now remember FATHER GOD is always present. Holding on to our hands.

Have a blessed day. Know that you are never alone. We have the perfect GOD who watches over us at all times even as we sleep for HE never sleeps

Please do pass it forward and share to others. You never know who may need to hear this message.

Peace and blessings!

Studying the word of GOD in Swahili.

Hello all!

I do pray that you all are well, and will be blessed by the HOLY Spirit from reading GODS word.

It is few and far between (as how my parents would say) when you will meet another person who loves GOD. But when you happen to meet another brother or sister in LORD it is another member of the body of CHRIST JESUS!

And this has happened to me. I met a beautiful woman from Africa who loves GOD! She is a blessing. Because in this world where people honor evil and not good, it is truly a union of GODLY souls

As we stay in prayer and praise our GOD we both put GOD first. As we all do who love GOD.

GOD the creator and is more important to us than all of the world. HE and HIS SON JESUS comes first at all times as I see it. For putting anything before them is not righteous and a mistake.

So this will include in who and how we relate to our fellow Mankind. For to be lead by GOD is to be lead righteously.

I am sharing with you the Swahili version of some scripture we were sharing!

John 3:14-16
[14]And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:
Na kama vile Musa alivyomwinua yule nyoka jangwani, vivyo hivyo Mwana wa Adamu hana budi kuinuliwa;
[15]That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
ili kila mtu aaminiye awe na uzima wa milele katika yeye.
[16]For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Kwa maana jinsi hii Mungu aliupenda ulimwengu, hata akamtoa Mwanawe pekee, ili kila mtu amwaminiye asipotee, bali awe na uzima wa milele.

John 3:17-18
[17]For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
Maana Mungu hakumtuma Mwana ulimwenguni ili auhukumu ulimwengu, bali ulimwengu uokolewe katika yeye.
[18]He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
Amwaminiye yeye hahukumiwi; asiyeamini amekwisha kuhukumiwa; kwa sababu hakuliamini jina la Mwana pekee wa Mungu.

I was inspired by the friend I have made from Africa. So as to tell you all to look outside of bubble of what is your comfort zone is. And share the word and joy of the word of GOD with others who may speak another language than your own.

And to just think. With all of the languages, dialics, and cultures out there in this world our beloved FATHER GOD can understand each and every soul that cries out to HIM!

Proverbs 18:24
[24]A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.
Ajifanyiaye rafiki wengi ni kwa uangamivu wake mwenyewe; Lakini yuko rafiki aambatanaye na mtu kuliko ndugu.

Isaiah 40:31. Wait on the LORD for your help, not the ways of the world.

Help comes from the LORD GOD! Depend on GOD’S help.

Hello all.

I hope you all are safe, healthy and well under the care of our beloved FATHER GOD and HIS SON JESUS! For it is good and comforting to know that our beloved FATHER GOD is in control. Thank you from taking time to stop by and give our beloved GOD honor and praise!

You know, there are and will be times when we need help. The ways of the world is not where our help comes from. Our beloved FATHER GOD gives us the help we need and it is always on time, letting you know it is from HIM. Even if GOD will send help through mankind, it was led by HIM!

It will appear to you , or given to you even before you prayed for it 🙏🏾. It will even be the exact amount you needed to pay a bill, or a task that needed to be done. Whatever you were needing, it came to you in a way that was GOD sent! We wait on the LORD for all things!

Isaiah 40:31

“But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.”

King James Version (KJV)

I have been around people who seem healthy enough to fight an lion and were basically lazy. They expected everyone else to help them with things they could do themselves. They had health, and means to get around. But they had this thought that others who were doing well were to help them and support them. As this is supposed to be done. Leaving their faith in mankind, and not doing right by GOD by being lazy. And not trusting faithfully in GOD!

It is not Biblical to be a sluggard. One who even too lazy to even get their own food. Annoying anyone around them that is breathing. This is so sad. They are not enjoying their life, and making others miserable.

Being lazy affects all you do, and everywhere you go, all people around you. At home, with family, friends, and co-workers at work! You are leaving them the tasks you should be doing.

Colossians 3:23 – And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;

Proverbs 13:4 – The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing: but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat.

2 Thessalonians 3:10-12 – For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.   

Philippians 4:13 – I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

Proverbs 14:23 – In all labour there is profit: but the talk of the lips tendeth only to penury.

Philippians 2:14-15 – Do all things without murmurings and disputings:   

Proverbs 16:3 – Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established.

1 Corinthians 10:31 – Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.

1 Thessalonians 4:11-12 – And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you;   

Proverbs 12:24 – The hand of the diligent shall bear rule: but the slothful shall be under tribute.

Luke 1:37 – For with God nothing shall be impossible.

Colossians 3:17 – And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.

Colossians 3:24 – Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.

Ecclesiastes 9:10 – Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.

1 Timothy 5:8 – But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.

Ephesians 6:7 – With good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men:

Proverbs 6:6-8 – Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise:   

Titus 2:7-8 – In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine shewing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity,   

2 Timothy 2:6 – The husbandman that laboureth must be first partaker of the fruits.

Galatians 6:9 – And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.

I do feel that when we are diligently working hard we are giving thanks and praise to our beloved FATHER GOD and HIS SON JESUS for all they have ,are ,and will give us in our lives. Working hard feels good, and our rewards will come from our beloved FATHER GOD!

Jeremiah 30:17, healing from our GOD!

Hello everyone!

I hope you all are well! I want to share with you as always about peace and Salvation! A healing for the soul! Peace is good!

For we are all in a new Era in time. Things are different than what it was even just 5 years ago. And many things we have taken for granted as that will always be is not now.

Be complacent is not allowing us to be ready for the changes we are in right now. And the change is constantly in motion. Developing into a different phase each day.

For some, we may have depended on things of the world to get us by. But now we see this new Era we are in is so unusual we who know about the LORD GOD are increasing our dependence on HIM. Those who are of the world are scared and confused.

Through the increasing prices on everything with the exception of pay checks, we need to stay positive. 🙏🏾 Stay steady on what our GOD is telling us as we pray. For when we pray, listen to what GOD is saying. For our beloved FATHER GOD knows all.

Healing of the mind and soul. I mean right down to the soul. The some of the people in this world are so confused with its thinking that what was considered wrong years ago is considered right now. Like some sins or proper ways of addressing men and women in a group. There was a time when people would address a crowd of men and women as “ladies and gentlemen. “. Now it’s “hey guys!” to both men and women.

Many people who grew up even 10 years ago will think differently than those who will be born today. Because of sin in this world. Confusion has caused conflicts and division with all people of this earth.

But the good and most perfect thing we have is GOD and HIS SON JESUS. They are the healing perfection we mankind need. We cannot get perfect healing on our own. We are not strong enough to do so on our own. Never will be.

Through all of the nonsense of the day we people go through, there is always our beloved FATHER GOD watching over all of HIS children. Always. And our beloved FATHER GOD will heal our hearts, mind and souls if we let HIM. ❤️

Isaiah 41:10

Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.

I will be glad to go to heaven to live with our beloved GOD and HIS SON JESUS for all eternity where there is perfect peace and love. Away from the nonsense of this world.

Jeremiah 17:14

Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for thou art my praise.

Let our ever loving Creator heal with what is ailing us, so that we can receive and enjoy the life HE wants us to have. Speak to GOD in prayer. Ask and receive.

I pray you all will have a safe, blessed weekend. And for those of you who celebrate July 4th be safe too with those fireworks!

Luke 21:11. Signs and prophecies!

Hello everyone!

I do hope you will have a peaceful and blessed day! And that you all will be safe and sound. Thank you for stopping by!

I want to share some thoughts on the events of the days we all are living in. And not to worry about the what if this or what is that, for as we stay in prayer we stay in contact with our GOD.

GOD is still in control! And will warn us of what we need to do to be safe and sound always through spiritual discernment. 🙏🏾

Through all of the prophecies that are happening right night now as of May 8th 2022 we do need to stay 24/7 in prayer.

2 Timothy 3:1-5 KJV
This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

Now as we pray, pray for discernment from our beloved GOD. For these things prophesied are coming to pass with more force as we come closer to when JESUS will return!

Luke 21:11
King James Version
11 And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.

With all information you hear or read use spiritual discernment. Read the word of our GOD for understanding to confirm what you have read.

There are store closings such as some Wal-Mart stores due to people shopping online. And some stores are having less and less food and supplies.

And it will get worse. For reading the word it said there will be famines. So be wise and but what you need when you can to be stocked up.

Sickness and plagues. This Covid19, has hit harder than AIDS did. It hit harder and faster globally. People died faster. More contagious. It spread so quickly from one country to the next and is still around in different variants too.

One of the plagues on the earth going on still in 2022.

Our beloved FATHER GOD has been warning us all since the beginning of time. But being hard headed mankind we have to try and do things our way. Not GOD’S way that is right. So when these prophecies come to pass those who are not listening to GOD and HIS SON JESUS they don’t understand these events are prophecies coming to pass.

Wildfires in California can look like glimpses of hell when you see them photographed. So sad.

I talk about this for those who are unaware and need to see what is going on is prophecies going on so they will have a chance to repent. And become a child of GOD!

And for those who are saved to know we have hope in knowing our JESUS will return to take home with HIM all who are a child of GOD.

Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. Abstain from all appearance of evil.
1 Thessalonians 5:21-22

No need for anxiety, or fear. Because GOD did not give us the element of fear. You will only have fear if you do not have faith. Pray for more faith, for JESUS to help you get through all of these times and trials. I do every day.

Remember, GOD LOVES YOU!
