Cults of Christianity

Christians "without Christ":

This is a group of churches that may call themselves Christians, use the Bible as their Sacred Scripture, and may even have the name of Christ in the title of their church... but say that "Jesus is not God", or that Jesus Christ is god as much as you and I are god, like the Mormons. Other Cults:

- Central London Church of Christ. - Rev. Ike... Penitents... Snake Handlers. - Churches for Homosexuals. - Branch Davidians, "Waco", David Koresh. - People's Temple, Jim Jones, Jonestown.

"MORMONS"

"Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints":

The "Mormons" is the Church of "contradictions", and of "deception". Founded in 1830 in Palmyra, New York, by Joseph Smith. 7 million members; 5 in the USA. Headquarters: 47 Temple Street, Salt Lake City, Utah 80150. They are one the first statements they will show when they go to the homes... some of them are beautiful, but some of them are great Christian deceptions.... be aware!.

The "Bible":

It is good... but it is good for nothing, at least it agrees with the "Book of Mormon". In fact, Smith introduced 125 new verses only in the New Testament, and changed 1,475 verses in the Bible.

Only the Mormons use "their Bible", no other Christian does... in fact, no other Christian denomination considers the Mormons as Christians, though they have the name of "Jesus Christ" as the main title of their Church.

"Jesus Christ", and the "Father":

"God the Father", and "Jesus Christ" of the Mormons are not those of the real Bible:

- "God the Father", for the Mormons, was once a man, but became God. He has a physical body, as does his wife, Heavenly Mother. Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are three separate gods. Worthy men may one day become gods themselves.

- "Jesus Christ", like God the Father, for the Mormons is "eternal" because he has no end, like any other man, but he is "not eternal", because he had a beginning: He was born from Adam (who was God), by sexually cohabiting with the Virgin Mary in a physical, flesh relationship. Brigham declared emphatically, "Jesus was not begotten by the Holy Ghost". Jesus was married and had children with the two sisters of Lazarus, Maria and Martha... and Jesus became God, as you and I can become God, like Him!... everything contrary of what the real Bible says!.

- An another strange thing of the Mormons: Jesus and Lucifer are brothers!.

The "Latter-day Saints":

The "Latter-day Saints" of the title of their Church, are the "Mormons", because all the churches and creeds before Smith are "abomination" into the Lord, as revealed to Smith by God the Father and Jesus Christ!.

- Any man can become God... "As man now is, God once was; as God now is, man can become", is one of the most famous aphorisms of the Mormons... but of course, only the Mormons can become God, if they are faithful to their Church!... and only "men", not "women".

- This concept of "every man is god", has been taken up by the New Age Movement, but using different methods to become god. - The Mormons could build on earth a "Garden of Eden", and that's the idea of Utah, USA... but Utah is still not a Garden of Eden!.

The "family"... "polygamy"... "women":

This is another "contradiction" and "deception"of the Mormon Church: - The "family", "is the most important unit of life", for the Mormons... however, there is polygamy!

-"Polygamy", is forbidden in the "Book of Mormons"; however, Smith, in his 132 revelation was ordered by God to have polygamy, as in the life of Solomon: So, Smith had 27 wives officially, and 60 unofficially, and the second great leader, Brigham Young, had 25 wives with 56 children, and proclaimed, "he who rejects the doctrine of polygamy shall be condemned"... and "the only men who become gods are those who enter polygamy"... however, a third "little Pope", Fielding, abolished officially polygamy in 1904.

... Today, polygamy is forbidden in the Mormon Church, but an estimated 30,000 fundamentalist Mormons have plural marriages in Utah.

- "Women", cannot become priests or church leaders, and cannot become gods... may be this is one reason why in the Mormon Church women have the highest rate of suicides in the nation, the highest percentage in mental institutions, and the highest percentage of divorces in the nation. - The Church forbids contraceptives and abortion.

The "Book of Mormon":

The "Book of Mormon" is the greatest deception: It was dictated by Smith to Cowdery, not face to face, but from behind a curtain, in a period of 4 years, since 1827 to 1830.

- The story of Smith, is that the Book was written by Mormon in the year 400 A.C., and found by Smith 1,400 years later in Cumorah, near Palmyra, N.Y., with the help of angel Moroni. The Book was buried, and engraved on thin sheets of gold metal, nobody knows how many sheets, 200?, 2,000?... and with the book, there were a pair of large "supernatural spectacles", to translate the reformed Egyptian hieroglyphics of the sheets.

- After translating the Book, Smith returned it to Moroni, without even showing to his wives this great unique treasure... nobody knows what he did with the "supernatural spectacles", another unique great treasure!... ... But for most evangelicals, the Book is a plagiarism of a fiction novel written by Solomon Spaulding in 1816, "Manuscript Story"... and may be this is the reason why Smith always dictated the book from behind a curtain.

- Martin Harris, an old friend of Smith, portrayed him as "a religious faker, a charlatan", in a letter in 1830.

"Contents" of the Book of Mormon:

It is another great deception:

The Book relates a thousand-year history of a lost tribe of Israelites who left Palestine and came to America to become the ancestors of the Native Americans. The leader of the lost tribe was Lehi, who had two sons: Laman and Nephi. They lived in pease and love, until the Lamanites became bad people, who fought and annihilated the Nephites near Palmyra, N.Y. in 428 A.C. But, before his demise, Mormon, the Nephite leader, wrote and buried his Book, including the appearance of Christ in America, after his resurrection, instituting the ordinances of baptism, communion, and priesthood.

The Book was published in 1830, with the subtitle "Another Testament of Jesus Christ", and it is the most sacred scripture for the Mormons, "the most correct book of any on earth"... ... But here comes the big deception: - The Mormon's doctrine often contradicts the Book of Mormon's doctrine: - The Book says, "there is only one God", Mormonism teaches "there are many gods" (Mosiah 15:1-5, Alma 11:28, 2 Nephi 31:21, Journal of Discourses, Smith, Vol.6, pag..5). - The Book says, "the Trinity is one God", Mormonism teaches, "the Trinity is 3 separate gods" (Alma 11:44, Mosiah 15:5, 2 Nephi 31:21, Articles of Faith,Talmage, pag.35, 1985). - The Book says, "God is Spirit", Mormonism teaches "God has the form of a man" (Alma 18:24,28, Journal of Discourses, Smith, Vol.6, p.3. - The Book says, "polygamy condemned", but polygamy was taught and practiced (Jacob 1:15, 2:23-31, Ether 10:5,7, Mosiah 11:2,4, Journal of Discourses, Young, Vol.3, p.266).

... And another big deception:

At least 12 essential Mormon doctrines are not found in the Book of Mormon: The Church organization, the Aaronic priesthood, Celestial Marriage, Baptism for the Dead, men my become gods, the pre-existing doctrine, the 3 degrees of glory in heaven, eternal progression, God is an exalted man, plurality of gods, plurality of wives doctrine, Word of Wisdom...

The "biggest deception":

The "biggest deception" of the Mormons is that their "Sacred Books" contradict each other, so, if you tell them that Mormonism teaches that there are many gods, they will show you the Book of Mormon teaching that there is only one God... and so forth...

The "Articles of Faith":

When they go to your home, they show you some of their "Articles of Faith", those appealing to a good Christian, but they are very deceptive: For example, the Article 1 says, "We believe in God, the eternal Father, and in his son, Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Spirit"... but they don't say that they are 3 gods!... and they don't say that the Father is "eternal" only because he has no end, like any other men, but he had a beginning, so, he was actually "not eternal"... Article 8 says, "We believe the Bible to be the word of God as far as it is translated correctly"... but they don't explain to you that the "right translation" of Smith contains 1,475 verses changed from the real Bible.

The "Sacred Books" of the Mormons":

The "Book of Mormon"; The "Bible", correctly translated; "Doctrines and Covenants"; "The Pearl of Great Price", with the "Articles of Faith", and, like the Book of Mormon, is considered to be a divine revelation superior to the Bible.

Joseph Smith was a "false prophet":

Smith thought he was living in the last days before Christ return, and prophesied Jesus Second coming for 1890, but he died in 1844, without witnessing the non-fulfillment of his prophecy.

"Restitution"... the "key word":

The key word for the Mormons is "restitution", the words of Peter in Act.3:21, "restitution of all things"... they claim this restitution, or restoration, began in 1820 with Smith: The restitution of divine truths with the Book of Mormons, restitution of the priesthood, of sacred temples... but they don't realize that Peter was talking about "Jesus Christ", who restored already everything with his death and resurrection almost 2,000 years ago... Peter was not talking about Smith!.

The "blacks":

Smith taught that they were the defendants of Cain and therefore cursed... they were barred from the priesthood until Spencer Kimball received a "revelation" abrogating this injunction. Kimball died in 1985, and was succeeded as President by Ezra Taft Benson.

"Good people"... another deception:

It is impressive to see the young Mormons dedicating 2 years full time to the Church as missionaries, going the two in two, with closely cropped hair and regalia of dark suits, white shirts, subdued ties, polished shoes... representing the most basic human values: Patriotism, sobriety, familial responsibilities, hard work...

- Their sincerity is beyond question, 30,000 of them, garner 200,000 converts each year...

... But they are deceived, as millions of young Communists were deceived, as the followers of Jimmy Jones were deceived... and deceived people are the best to deceive other people...

... They are deceived, expecting to become God, and create new planets... they are deceived with the satanic and masonic rituals of the "celestial marriages" in the temple... they are deceived thinking that with the proxy "baptism for the dead" they can save their ancestors... a "baptism for the dead" taken erroneously from 1Cor.15:29...

- I pray Jesus to light the life of those Mormons of good faith, and I order Satan to go out of the heart of any Mormon who may read these lines. Only Satan can make up such deceptions and contradictions. Thank you, Jesus.

A Rich Church:

When you visit Temple Square in Salt Lake City, everything is "free"... but don't be deceived... the Mormon Church has assets of $8 "billion", making it the wealthiest Protestant Church in America... not everything is free!... all this fortune comes from the "deceived members", they end up giving to the Church their money, time, and life.

"JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES"

"Watchtower Bible and Tract Society":

It was founded by Charles T. Russell in 1852, though the first formal organization was in Pittsburgh in 1872.

- 3 million members worldwide, and 926,614 in the USA, with 9,985 Kingdom or Assembly Halls (in 1994).

- Address: 117 Adams Street, Brooklyn, NY 11202 (called "Bethel").

- Before, they have been called "Millennial Downists", "International Bible Students", and "Russsellites", after their first leader.

... Their official name, is not "Jehovah's Witnesses", but an Incorporated Society, the "Wathtower Bible and Tract Society" ... in this Society, the leaders are elected by the number of "stocks" they have; the "President of the Society" is the one who has more stocks... the members do not vote, they do not count, even though they are the ones who bring the money, selling Bibles, Books, the Watchtower, Tracts... the actual President is Milton G. Henschel, since 1993.

Very active members:

The Witnesses are very active, selling 100,000 books and Bibles, and 800,000 copies of its two magazines, daily!... from home to home...

False Prophecies:

The Witnesses are the children of the Adventists, and as the Adventists, they have officially announced the Second Coming of Christ and the Armageddon for 6 dates: 1914, 1918, 1920, 1925, 1941, and 1975... and never came!...

... The prophet whose prophecies are not fulfilled is a "false prophet"... on everything!.

... But the Society, and the money, keeps going on, because every time there was an "strange explanation", swallowed by some members: After the 1914 failure, the explanation was that Christ did not come to earth, but "became king in heaven", and cast out Satan, with the consequent World War I... After the 1975 failure, there was another explanation ready: The witnesses were told that Adam's creation was in 4026 B.C., and 6,000 years later would be the Second Coming of Christ, in 1975; when the date passed, many members left the Society, but others followed Franz's explanation that the 6,000-year chronology was set forward not since Adam, but since Eve's creation, and the leaders do not know the interval between the creation of Adam and Eve!...

... Henschel, the actual President, has not set a fixed date, only that it will be in the early 2,000s.

"Little Popes"... "Blood Transfusions"

The Witnesses reject the "successor of Peter" of Matt.16:19, the Catholic Pope... but they have their "little Popes", not the successor of Peter, they are self- proclaimed, but much more demanding that the real Pope:

... For example, Russell permitted the "Blood Transfusions", and said "only he with the mentality of a pharisee can prohibit them"... so, at that time all the Witnesses read in the Bible that the Blood Transfusions were a good thing to do...

... But then came their second "little Pope", Rutherford, and "prohibit the Blood Transfusions"... and since then, every Witness reads in the Bible that the Blood Transfusions are prohibited... the 3 million of them!... and if anyone dears to say that the Blood Transfusions are permitted, he will be "disfellowshiped", cast out of the Society, and the rest of the members will consider him as dead, they are forbidden even to speak with him... and the "excommunicated apostate" is told he will not rise from the grave on Judgment Day...

... How come at least 10 Witnesses don't read in the Bible that the Transfusions are permitted, like other 2,100 million Christians do?... you know the reason: Because the actual "little Pope" says so... if another Russell would come, all of them will read in the Bible that Transfusions are good!

... One of the big problems about the Transfusions is that Jesus repeats 4 times "you have to drink my blood", in Jn.6:53-56... but they dismiss it as a "symbol", as told by their "little Popes".

- Some members have been "disfellowshiped" for reading books written by ex-members, or eating with a suspected dissenter... and if a Witness says that "Jesus Christ is God", he will be the worst apostate!...

The "144,000"... the "Brainwash":

The key word for the Society is the "Second Coming of Christ", with the war of Armageddon, won by Jesus Christ, and the beginning of the "Millennium" of Rev.20.

- The Witnesses are told to work hard "now", because from that Day, the 144,000 "anointed ones" since 1914 will live for ever as kings and priests in heaven, as told in Rev.7 and 20; and the "Great Multitude" of Rev.7, will rise from their graves to live for ever on earth like in a paradise, ruling earth under the tutelage of the 144,000 during the "Millennium", ... but only the good Witnesses!... the rest of the wicked people will be annihilated in the Millennium... and the "apostate Witnesses" will not raise from the grave on Judgment Day, at the Second Coming of Christ.

- These ideas, of "raising from the graves" to "rule earth", "like a paradise"... are the basis for the brainwash of the members with biblical after long biblical lectures... and their leaders become like gods for them... there is no other world for a Witness...

... And there are many good honest Witnesses... but brainwashed... no biblical reason makes sense for them, only what they are told in the Kingdom Hall... I pray Jesus to give light to any honest Witness who reads these lines, and I order Satan to get out of his heart, in the glorious name of Jesus, because only Satan can praise Jesus by saying that "Jesus is not God". Thank you, my Lord and my God Jesus Christ... proclaimed just like that in the Bible, in the Gospel of St. John 20:28.

Jesus Christ "is not God"!:

The Jehovah's Witnesses discard most orthodox doctrines of the Bible, conflicting with those of historic Christianity:

- The Holy Trinity is seen as a demonic doctrine, Jesus christ is stripped of his deity, is not God!, the Holy Spirit is robbed of his personality... they deny the physical resurrection of Christ, and there is not eternal Hell... their doctrines on the sufficiency of Christ's atonement, on human government, and on the existence of the soul are not biblical...

- The worst of them all is to say that "Jesus is not God": But their Bible says emphatically the "Jesus is God", on John 20:28, proclaiming Jesus "my Lord and my God"... "Lord"... "God"... the Bible says Jesus is God!... directly... just like that!.

... John 1:1-3, says it also directly; however, in their Bible, Knorr added an "a"... "is a god", and he put not "God", but "god"... but verse 3 says that "all things came into being through him, and without him not one thing came into being".

- Colossians 1:16-17, also proclaims that "all things" were made by Christ and for Christ... but again, Knorr adds "(other)" several times between "all things", trying to water down the creation of all things by Jesus Christ, material and spiritual... but in Jn.1:3 says it so clearly!... and here Knorr forgot to put the word "(other)" in between...

The Society is the worst vomit of Satan...

... only Satan can may you praise Jesus Christ, by saying the "Jesus Christ is not God"... only Satan can make you living only expecting the Second Coming of Christ, with his great victory of Armageddon, and proclaiming that "Jesus Christ is not God".

They "changed" the "Bible":

Knorr, the third president of the Society, published the Bible of the Society, "The New World Translation"... changing and adding words in many verses... and the Bible says, "if anyone adds anything to them, God will add to him every plague mentioned in the book" (Rev.22:18).

- He changed or added words to verses relating to the "deity of Christ", the "adoration of Christ", the "immortality of the soul", the "eternal Hell"... (Jn.1:1, Colos.1:14-16, 2:9-10, Fil.2:5, Tit.2:13, Heb.1:6, 8, 2Pet.1:1, Matt.28:17, Luc.24:52, 23:43, Matt.25:56)

The Life of a Witness:

It is a strange one: Do not observe holidays or birthdays. Do not vote, salute the flag, work in the military, play chess... no Sabbath is observed, they meet on Sundays to study their Bible... they work haad, "door to door"... making money for the Society.

"MOONIES"

"Unification Church",

"The Holy Spirit Association for the Unification of World Christianity".

The "Moonies" is the Church of heavenly Communism, of mockery of the Bible, of big business... and of stupidity.

Founded in 1954 in South Korea, by Sun Myung Moon (Sun Shining Moon), after he had an alleged vision of Jesus in 1936. Moon is one of the more than 100 Koreans that have proclaimed themselves "the Christ" in this century.

2 million members in 120 countries, 30,000 in the USA... you can see them selling flowers in the streets, or paintings, or jewelry... or asking money for drug rehabilitation, or to feed starving children, sometimes even from fake wheelchairs... making a whooping $200 million per week, all for the god Moon and his empire!...

- Address: 723 South Broadway, Tarrytown, NY 10591, USA.

"Mockery of the Bible":

The "sacred Scriptures" are the "Divine Principle" of Moon, the "Outline of the Principle", and the "Bible"... But the "Bible" is used to make a mockery out of it!:

"Jesus Christ":

He was a perfect man, but "he is not God"; he was the bastard offspring of Zechariah and Mary, and the "cross" is the symbol of the defeat of Christianity... Jesus had achieved "spiritual salvation", but he failed to reach "physical salvation"... He did not resurrected physically... his mission was to unite the Jews, find a perfect bride, and begin a perfect family, but he failed, not being able to marry Magdalene...

... And here comes "Moon":

He will bring the "physical salvation" to earth... He is the third Adam, the second Christ, God himself incarnated, to unite all Christian churches, to unite all religions, and bring to earth a perfect social system, a perfect family life... earth will be the new Paradise of Eden, with perfect love to God, and brotherhood of all people living in communes, sharing their wealth...

... Moon is a professed fanatic Anti-Communist, but he is actually proposing a "most rigid Communism", the Moonies Communes!... but with a God: Moon!.

- The "Holy Spirit", of the full title of the Church, is a "feminine spirit" who works with Jesus in the spirit world to lead people to Moon, who is the one to come announced in Jn.16:13... Moon is the Lord of the Second Advent!...

- "God", is both positive and negative... he does not know the future, is suffering, and needs a "man", Moon!, to make him happy. No Trinity.

- "Salvation", comes in one of three ways:

1- Having actual sex with Moon, for the girls.

2- Having sex with a girl who had sex with Moon, if you are a man.

3- Working full time for Moon... the most usual way!, and drinking at the wedding ceremony the blood of Moon (2 drops of his blood in 100 gallons of a mixture of 21 ingredients).

-The "After-death", is a stupidity: Everyone goes to the spirit world, there is not resurrection, but the members "advance" by convincing others to follow Moon, and working hard for Moon... and here comes the great stupidity: "Everyone will be saved, even Satan"... so, why to work so hard for Moon?... You are going to be saved anyway!...

"Communes"... "Heavenly Communism":

Moon professes a fanatical hatred towards Communism, and he has chosen the U.S. as the bulwark against satanic Communism... but he has invented the "Communes", a much harder Communism that the one of Marx and Lenin... and with another difference: With a "god": Moon!.

- The Moonies live in "Communes", with food, clothing, and accommodations, everything from toothpaste to trousers, are served up communal-style for those members who forsake all to pond the streets selling wares to make money for their "god", Rev. Moon... all of it!.

The "Religion of Big Business":

Moon has a natural flair for business, and has used the Moonies to create a great empire: In the early days he made his money from producing ginseng tea, pharmaceuticals, titanium products, and military equipment... now it comes easier, with 2 million Moonies bringing $100 each per week, $200 million per week!...

- In the USA, Moon owns the New Yorker Hotel and Tiffany Building, the "Washington Times", the "News World" newspaper, 83 fishing boats in Virginia and Massachusetts, and an enormous real state holdings throughout of the U.S.

- In Uruguay, purchased the "Banco de Credito", and the country's largest luxury hotel in Montevideo...

- He is using at least 55 "front-names", to do business and infiltrate different groups, among them, the "New World Singers", the "International Conference on the Unity of the Sciences", the "American Freedom Coalition", the "Kensington Gardens Arts Society"... and the two most notorious, "CARP", the "Collegiate Association for Research Principles", to recruit on university campus, without identifying themselves as Moonies, and "CAUSA", the "Confederation of Association for the Unity of Societies in America", that works worldwide...

The "recruiting"... the "Weekend":

Most young people are recruited to the Moonies by an invitation from another person of their own age to attend a "Weekend"... some go to spend a weekend with a friend, or for curiosity, or just "for a giggle"... Don't do it!... you are going to fall!... and for life!... it is worst than woodoo!... worst than drugs!...

- The "Weekend", is a retreat of flattery, smiles, and false "love bombing"... mentioning often the names of Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit, but to suggest that Christ has failed, and Christianity is in a deep crisis... you are going to be offered a false live of love, living in communes, to deliver the world from Satan back to God, and that includes the "material world"... but all of this among "occult practices" of clairvoyance and mediumistic trances... much worse than woodoo... with tactics of sensory deprivation, physical exhaustion and intense indoctrination... all of it to introduce you to the real Savior Moon, because Christianity is in crisis, has failed, and Moon is eventually the only hope for America and for the world...

... "The day of the Weekend": It starts with a nice breakfast, two lectures before lunch, then team games of fun, another two lectures before the evening meal, and after dinner, speeches of Rev. Moon, prayer meeting, and a final event after a long day: The "reflections", called "open heart surgery"...

... You don't realize that you are the only "guess" in your group, and the others are seasoned Moonies, who will be jumping and falling in ecstatic convulsions at the mention of the name "Moon"...

... And you are not going to be less that the others... you are going to end up following them...

A "Moony"... a life of stupidity:

Once you are hooked, there is another "3 week workshop", and anyone who wants to stop you is of Satan, including your parents... at the end of the "3 weeks" there is the "Pledge Service", bowing 3 times to the picture of "god" Moon: The Pledge is "fund-rising", referred as the foundation of faith, by which Satan's worldly goods would be restored to God... and the Moony will be fund-rising 10 to 14 hours per day, 365 days a year!.

- After the Pledge, come 21 minutes of praying aloud to the "god" Moon... Moon is also in "numerology"!...

- You will end up living in a Commune, turning up all your assets to Moon, encouraged to isolate from all contacts with parents and past associates... working and living only for the "god Moon": The one who divorced twice, the one who has been in jail several times, the one who lives in luxury with his third wife and 12 children, while the Moonies live in extreme poverty, raising money for the "Master", eating frugal meals, and getting little sleep...

- If you are "single", you have to work for 7 years before Moon assigns you a "wife", a girl you never met before... you will be engaged in a "mass wedding" -in the last one there were 6,516 couples!- after which, each one goes again to their own country, and after another 3 years, you will be married... if you have a child, you will be allowed to see him only "one hour per day"!... that's stupidity!...

... And the worst stupidity is that you are going to be "saved" after death anyway, no matter what you do, because the "false great love" of the Master proclaims that everybody is going to be saved, even Satan himself... so, why to work so hard, in worst than slavery conditions?...

"CHRISTIAN SCIENCE CHURCH"

"The Church of Christ Science":

Christian Science, the "science of healing", is "Anti-Christian", "Anti-Science", with Hindu doctrine, and it is not a Church.

- Founded, in 1875 in Massachusetts by Mary Baker Eddy.

- 1 million members, 3,000 churches, in 56 countries, 700,000 in the USA..

- Address: Mother Church, Boston, Massachusetts, USA.

- It is influential, with the prestigious daily newspaper, "Christian Science Monitor", with a circulation of over 100,000. Also with the magazines Christian Science Sentinel, and Journal.

1- "Anti-Christian":

The Holy Scriptures are the books of Mrs. Eddy, "Science and Health, with Key to the Scriptures", "Miscellaneous Writings", and "Manual of the Mother Church"... and the Bible.

- The services look Christian, because the Bible is read, followed by the interpretation of each passage by Mrs. Eddy's writings.

- However it is totally Anti-Christian:

"Jesus Christ" is not God, he was not the Christ, they say, but a man who displayed the "Christ" idea ("Christ" means perfection, not a person). He did not suffer and could not suffer for sins. He did not die on the cross, and he did not rise physically. He will not literally come back. The Virgin Birth was a spiritual idea...

- The "Holy Spirit", is an impersonal power, defined as the teachings of Christian Science.

- "God", is not the Christian God, but a "Hindu one": An impersonal Principle of life, truth, love, intelligence, and spirit. God is not divine person, but the "divine principle" of all that exists. the Trinity is pagan.

- "Matter and Persons", are also a Hindu concept: Material world does not exist, spirit is the only reality. Physical world and human body are illusions. The body can not be ill, suffer pain, or die, because matter is an illusion...

- "Salvation", is by recognizing that each person is as much a Son of God as Jesus is. There is no evil, no devil, no sin, no poverty, and no old age. A person is reincarnated until he learns these truths and becomes "perfect".

- "Heaven and Hell", do not exist, they are only states of mind. Death is not real.

2- Anti-Science":

The term "science" is not indicative as uniting "science and religion". Far from it, as Christian Science repudiates the very basis of scientific thought, that is the universe is a physical, material fact of reality and subject to rules of natural law and mathematics.

"Anti-Healing" Church:

The claim of "physical healings" by the power of the mind attracts people... but they are either false, psychosomatic cures, or the work of Satan.

- Members use Christian Science "practitioners",rejecting doctors, physicians, chiropractics, drugs, vitamins, nutrition, as well as immunizations...

... Consulting a physician breaks the First Commandment, teaches Mrs. Eddy... recently, Christian Science parents were found guilty of murder in the negligent death of their seven-year-old child in Sarasota, Florida.

Mrs. Eddy claims her healing ministry started after reading Matt.9:2 when she experienced a miraculous cure... but all her "healing doctrine" is rather Hindu: Healing comes from realizing one cannot be sick or hurt and that the body cannot be ill, suffer pain, or die (matter is an illusion)... the belief in Jesus Christ revealed to people their illusion of illness and thus cured them...

- Mrs. Eddy was constantly challenged by the medical leaders to produce evidence of just one bona fide healing... she did not and could not!...

- There are some cases of healing that deserve acknowledgement... and they are the work of Satan of 2Tes.2:9 and Exodus 7... in fact, apparent "supernatural healing" is a trademark of demonic cults, including Satanism and Spiritualism.

3- "It is not a Church":

No clergy, no congregations... only lecture Halls to read, and practice Hindu healing by "practitioners", in "services", under the cover of the Bible.

"Mrs. Eddy", divorced and remarried... and was not modest: She claimed to be the woman of Rev.12, infallible.. she died in 1910 almost in "solitary" in her birth place: Conrad, New Hampshire, USA.

CHURCH OF SCIENTOLOGY

It is a Hindu interplanetary fiction novel, with a kind of "Catholic Confession", called "auditing" ... a bad place to spend lots of money.

- Founded in 1954 by Lafayette Ronald Hubbard in California after writing "Dianetics".

- Claims of 7 million members, though the true figure is estimated to be 100,000...

The Doctrine:

Mankind is descended from a race of interplanetary omnipotent gods called "thetans". Gradually they evolved by reincarnation to become humans who could not remember their deified state, but every human is a god!...

... The problem is the "engrams", the traumatic experiences in past lives, which impede spiritual progress, and they are the reason of all diseases...

The Auditing:

... The "solution" is "auditing", to "discover" and to "clear" these traumatic engrams, hidden in the subconscience. They explain it is like a "Catholic church confessional", starting off with 200 questions, with the appropriate comments by the "auditor", the confessor!.

Results of the "auditing":

The result of any confession of sins to another person are always great, it has been catalogued as one the best psychoanalytical methods... and "confessions of sins" are also the basis of the Alcoholic Anonymous and Drug Anonymous success, developing in days the 5 requirements to do a good "Catholic Confession".

... "Narcanon", of Scientology uses the same basis of "confessions of sins" to fight drugs.

Their claims and propaganda, are exaggerated and fictitious: "Dianetics" promises you will be aware that you are a thetan, a god, with unlimited powers... it will cure all ills, both physical and psychological; it will wipe out all mental illness and mean an end to all wars and conflicts... but it is false: You want to find some "equilibrium in life", and you will end up hooked into a relentless round of expensive courses!...

Very "expensive":

The first "auditing" is free... but once you have achieved the state of "clear", you have to progress up the "bridge of total freedom"... and for that you need more auditings, of $300 per hour, and courses, high level courses, of up to $10,000 or $50,000... if you are not rich, Dianetics is not for you.

It is not "scientific"... the "E-Meter":

Dianetics is not scientific, on the contrary, it is just a fiction novel, with the "auditings", copied from the Catholic Church as the only touch of reality.

- Besides the regular "auditings", they have another methods, like the "E-Meters", that makes it look like scientific: These E-Meters are just "lie detectors"; the auditor asks series of questions while the student holds the two tin cans f the E-Meter in his hands. It is nothing new, just a "lie detector"... and if you pay $215 extra, you will be examined with a more modern lie detector... and that's all the science!... plus two huge dictionaries, to explain the many fantasy interplanetary words used in "Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health"... anything but science!.

It is not "Christian":

Jesus is not the creator. He was in control of supernatural powers, "cleared" from mental defects, but he was not an "operating thetan"... in fact, the early teachings of Hubbard say that Jesus did not exist... and when he acknowledged his existence, he claimed Jesus was a gay. The Holy Spirit is not mentioned. Salvation comes after many "auditings"... the "confessions"!.

It is not a Church:

In 1993 it was made a "Church", just for tax purposes... Some meet on Sundays... but it is not a Church: There is no Community, no altar, no priests...

It did not work for Ron Hubbard!:

Born in Montana, divorced several times; his son Nibs called him "insane"; his son Quentin killed himself... plagued by venereal disease, he died in 1986 with a stroke, after 6 years of almost total isolation... scientologists claim he is now carrying his work on another galaxy!...

CHILDREN OF GOD (COG)

"Family of Love", ("Heaven's Magic):

The "COG" is the literal "prostitution of Christianity"; "Sex for Jesus" is their logo...

- Founded, in 1969 in the US by David Berg, who changed his name to Moses Berg, and is called "MO".

- In 1981 MO claims there were 10,000 members in 72 countries, living in 80 "communes", distributing 60 million of "MO letters" per year. Today Berg's "Royal Family" empire is in shambles.

"Hookers for Jesus":

With the Bible in his hand, and the word "love" in his lips, MO promoted the "Hookers for Jesus", girls doing actual prostitution trying to get converts to the "Children of God", and, by the way, getting money for MO... they called it also by another name: "FFing", "Flirty Fishing".

- Moses Berg, communicated with the communes and with the world by his "MO letters", with "sex" as the central theme, because "God is love", and he is the one who created sex... he encouraged and practiced homosexuality, incest, adultery, fornication, adult-child sex, polygamy...

The "communes", on the surface look fine, living the Bible together like the early Christians... and in the streets, they will offer you the "MO letters", saying "Jesus loves you"...

- "MO" is violently Anti-semitic; nobody knows where he is now, a mailing address in Switzerland is his only contact to the world. They are working in England under the name "Heaven's Magic".

"UNITY SCHOOL OF CHRISTIANITY"

It is a most deceptive Church: Under the name of "Christianity", and using the Bible, it actually teaches and practices "Hindu doctrine"... and "no Unity", even the two spouses split in two groups!.

-Founded, in 1889 by the spouses Charles and Myrtle Fillmore in Kansas City, Missouri. Charles believed he was a reincarnation of the Apostle Paul.

- 300 centers in several countries.

- Address: Unity Village, Lee's Summit, MO 64065, USA.

Influential... not Christian:

They are influential, with a mail order to 6 million people, with well financed radio and TV promotions, and a "prayer line" ("Silent Unity"), with millions of prayer requests annually.

... They print millions of pieces of literature, like the periodical "Wee Wisdom", appealing to Sunday school children, and the devotional "Daily Word", using the name of Christianity and the Bible, to teach Hindu Doctrines... while people thing they are reading good Christian literature!.

- "God", is not the Christian God, but a Hindu one: An invisible impersonal power, a "Principle", a "Law", a "Being", a "Mind", a "Spirit"... a pantheistic god in everything. No Trinity.

- "Jesus", was a man and not the Christ. Instead, he was a man who had "Christ Consciousness". Christ is a state of perfection in every person. Jesus had lived many times before and was in search of his own salvation. He was called the "Son of David", indicating that he had been previously incarnated in David, say the Unity... and continues... Jesus did not die as a sacrifice for anyone's sins, he did not rise physically, and he will never return to earth in physical form.

- The "Holy Spirit", is not a person, but the law of God in action, the "law of nature", the "executive power of both Father and Son".

- "Salvation", comes by recognizing that each person is as much a Son of God as Jesus is. There is no evil, no devil, no sin, no poverty, and no old age. A person is reincarnated until he learns these truths and becomes "perfect"... "positive thinking" is the key of everything...

- "After-death": Death is a result of wrong thinking. One "reincarnates" until enlightenment comes. No Heaven or Hell... be "positive"!.

Doctrine:The Fillmores believed they could improve on Mary Baker Eddy's Christian Science healing mission, with "positive thinking". They conceived the idea that God dwells within each person and that heaven and hell exist here and now on earth. God is love, and God has the secret formula for good health. If one follows the laws of God or nature, one can have good health. Among these "Laws of God" are not the Commandments... only the laws of nature!.. The miracles of Jesus were real, for Jesus was following the laws of nature... a most pantheistic vision!.

WORLDWIDE CHURCH OF GOD" (WCG)

"Armstrong-ism" Founded in 1934 in Eugene, Oregon, USA, by Herbert W. Armstrong, from Des Moines, Iowa, who died in 1986, at the age of 93.

- 68,000 members

- Address: Box 111, Pasadena, CA 91123, USA.

Radio and TV pioneer:

With only 68,000 members, is influential, because Armstrong was the pioneer of Radio and TV Evangelism, with "The World Tomorrow" telecast, watched by 150 million people weekly, and the magazines "The Plain Truth" and "Quest" sent free of charge to 2 million people monthly... and an income of $150 million per year...

- "Armstrong", is their only "little Pope", who left a career of failure in business to turn into the business of religion... travelling on a private Jet, he met with Egypt's Sadat, Israel's Begin, India's Gandhi... declared that Queen Elizabeth sits on the throne to which Christ will return... he divorced at age 92, and his sexual misconduct extended even to incest...

A Millennial Church:A child of the Adventists, like the Jehovah's Witnesses, proclaims the imminent Second Coming of Jesus Christ, who was announced for 1936, 1943, 1972, 1975... Jesus never came, but he was a good source of income!.

- Jesus will come, the battle of Armageddon will occur, and Satan will be defeated... and for 1,000 years Christ will rule in the "paradise earth", without poverty, disease, famine, war... and after the 1,000 years, a second judgment will be rendered and all condemned souls will be given a second chance of salvation... eventually the reign of Christ will prevail all over the world, and for eternity... humans are born to become God...

The "Anglo-Israelism":This is a church of many "strange doctrines", among them, the "Anglo-Israelism": After the captivity, the descendants of Judah returned to Palestine, the "Jews", but the other 10 tribes of Israel ended up in England from Ninive; and now the Anglo-Americans are the descendants of the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel, the "chosen people of God"; England is "Ephraim", and the USA is "Manasseh", from Gen.48-49... a belief that caused the split with the Adventists.

- All other Christian churches are in error. They observe the Jewish feasts, the Sabbath, and Kosher; without clergy, the "services" are often held in public buildings. Denies the Trinity.

- At the death of Armstrong, in 1986, the Church had doctrinal and structural changes: His son, Garner Ted, heads in Texas the "Church of God International" with 5,000 members. WCG publishes "The Philadelphia Trumpet" magazine, "Malachi's Message", "Key of David" TV program, with $163 million annual revenue... Armstrong legacy of errors and business goes on...

SPIRITUALISM"

"Spiritism":

Spiritism is the ancient practice trying to communicate with the death, through a "medium".

"Spiritualism", is Spiritism, but under the form of a Christian worship... it is "a deception", because some people may think they are attending a Christian service while they are going to get hot Spiritism. And it is a "sacrilege" to use Christian methods and objects to deliver Anti-Christian Spiritism... The church may include a pulpit, pews, crucifix, and organ... the service resemble the gatherings of a Christian church, using the Bible, with Christian payers and songs... but it is Spiritism!... with "trances", "psychic readings"...

"Condemned in the Bible", with strong words, "it is a prostitution against God"... "they shall be stoned to death"!... "If any turn to mediums and fortune-tellers, prostituting themselves to them, I will set my face against them, and will cut them off from the people... A man or a woman who is a medium or a wizard shall be put to death; they shall be stoned to death, their blood is upon them" (Leviticus 20:6,27)... and it is called "an abomination to the Lord" in Deut.18:12.

- Luke 16, clearly illustrates that an impassable gulf separates the dead from the living. And if they could return, Jesus declared that anything the dead may say would have no ultimate moral consequences on the living (Luc.16:31).

- The ancient belief was popularized by sisters Kate and Margaretta Fox, 12 and 15 years-old, 1848, in Hydesville, New York, with the famous "rappings" supposedly coming from a peddler who had been murdered in the hose some years previously. In 1888 the Fox sisters confessed that the rappings were accomplished by a method of cracking their toes. The sisters work out a code: One tap: No; three taps: Yes.

- "Jesus", for the Spiritualists was a man, not God. While on earth, he was a prophet or an advanced medium, one believed to communicate with the spirit world. Jesus is now a spirit that one can communicate with in the spirit world. No Virgin Birth, no redeeming cross, no resurrection, no Second Coming.

- "God", is an infinite spiritual intelligence, an impersonal power controlling the universe.

- "After-life", in planet earth continues in the spirit world. Heaven and Hell do not exist, they are states of mind.

-"Today", there are less than 10,000 hardcore members of Spiritualistic churches, though church officials estimate more than 500,000, in the USA, England, France, and Brazil. In the New Age the word "medium" is changed for "channeler".

- Literature: Spiritualistic Manual, Aquarium Gospel of Jesus the Christ, Oashpe, the Bible.

- Address: National Spiritualistic Association, in Washington, DC. Morris Pratt Spiritualistic Institute in Whitewater, Wisconsin, USA.

CHURCH UNIVERSAL AND TRIUMPHANT

"Summit Lighthouse": It is a Hindu religion, with biblical connotations, specially the "I Am" of Ex.3:14.- Founded, in Montana, USA, 1958, by Mark L. Prophet, it is now lead by Elizabeth Clare Prophet, after the death of her husband in 1973.

- 150,000 members, with assets of $50 million.

- Address: Royal Teton Ranch, Corwin Springs, MT 59021.

"Underground Shelters":

It is not so "triumphant" on earth, rather they are so afraid that they have built huge underground shelters, able to accommodate 100,000 people, stocked with food for protection from an impending nuclear holocaust... And it is not that "universal", because most of their members live in Montana, nearby the Shelters.

- "Elizabeth Clare Prophet", called "Guru Ma", believes she is the only present-day medium of truth, the sole channel of communication with the "Ascended Masters", including Jesus and Mary. She is a reincarnation of Martha, the sister of Lazarus, and calls herself "I Am that I Am" of Exodus 3. She wrote "The Lost Years of Jesus", and "The Lost Teachings of Jesus", showing him in India as a young student of Oriental religions.

- "Jesus", is not God. He was only the "mediator" between God and men, the role now Mrs. Prophet has.

- "Salvation", is by doing good Karma (deeds), to reincarnate in a better form.

UNITARIAN- UNIVERSALIST ASSOCIATION

It is the "schizophrenia" of Christianity, trying to unite the Christians, by denying the Trinity, the deity of Jesus, and proclaiming universal complete salvation of all living beings.

In 1959 the "Unitarian Church" merged with the "Universalist Church". Today they have 200,000 members in 1,000 churches.

The "Unitarian Church", was founded in 1774 in England by Theophilus Lindsey, on the basis of "Socinianism", denying the Trinity, and proclaiming that Jesus was not God; the atonement of Jesus is invalid, and salvation is only by works.

"Socinianism", is this doctrine developed in 1550 by the italian brothers Laelius and Faustus Socinus. Luther tried to destroy the roofs of Catholicism; Calvin its wall; and Socinus its foundation.

"Universalism", is also a product of the eighteenth century enlightenment, including rationalism and anti-supernaturalism... it holds that all living beings attain complete salvation, against all teaching of the Bible... and still they call themselves Christians... and with the Unitarians they carry on this schizophrenic torch.

"GNOSTICISM" and "NEO-GNOSTICISM"

"Gnosis" means "knowledge".

- "Jesus", for the Gnostics, was either a magician, an ascetic, or a sexual deviate who initiated his followers by means of secret ceremonies acquired in his visit to India.

- "St. Paul", in Colossians fights this heresy, defending the uniqueness of the person and redemptive work of Jesus Christ in the face of suggestions that Jesus was only one of the many angelic intermediaries between God and man. He also emphasized that salvation was complete in Christ, countering the legalistic ascetism of Gnosticism (Colos.2:20-30).

-The "Serpent", in Eden revealed to Adam and Eve "secret knowledge", and the Gnostics claim they have guarded this "secret knowledge" through history.. so, this secret knowledge actually comes from the Serpent, from Satan!.

- "Influential": It has no official organizational apparatus, but forms the theological foundation of many modern cults and has even formalized a belief structure of his own, the Neo-Gnosticism, with several Gnostic Churches, among them, the one established in Colombia by Victor Manuel Gomez, now lead by Julio Medina.

- Their influential literature is the fourth-century "Nag Hammadi Codices", "The Secret Gospel", "The Gospel of Thomas", "The Forbidden Gospel"

"THE WAY INTERNATIONAL"

Founded by Victor Paul Wierwille in 1957, in Ohio, USA, they claim a membership of 100,000 in 62 countries. Address: Box 328, New Knoxville, OH 45871, USA.

- His book "Jesus Christ is not God" says it all... the Baptism is not by water, but by the "holy spirit" (with no capitals, because he is not God), and to practice "glossolalia" 30 minutes per day is a part of salvation... get out of there!.

- The cost for the "Power of Abundant Living" course is $200... don't waste your life!.

"HOLY ORDER OF MANS"

It is a Hindu doctrine Movement, to teach the Universal Law of Creation, revealed by ancient Christian mysteries. The members may attain the same "Christ consciousness" as Jesus, who was merely a god-realized man... it's all wrong!.

- The "Basic Course" takes 2 years, and then you may proceed with "Advanced Courses" remaining in your own Church, or becoming a full member of the Order in a monastery.

- The Order has a good thing, it does operate "Raphael House" in San Francisco, a shelter for the homeless and abused.

- "MANS" means "Mysterium (mystery), Agape (divine love), Nous (knowledge), Sophia (wisdom)

- Founded by Earl Blighton. Address: 20 Steiner St., San Francisco, CA 94117, USA.

"CHURCH OF THE LIVING WORD"

It is called "The Walk", robbing Christ of his "personhood" by claiming that he is now embodied in this Church, and that Christians can be a deified extension of Christ. The Church of the Living Word essentially represents the Second Coming of Christ, replacing the return of the person of Christ, and all other churches belong to a false Babylonian system... don't get into it!.

- Founded, by John R. Stevens, it claims 5,000 members in 100 churches with headquarters in Iowa and California... it owns large farms in Fresno, California, in Kaloma, Iowa, and in Brazil.

"CROSSROADS CHURCH OF CHRIST"

"The Boston Church of Christ", "The Central London Church of Christ": The Central London Church of Christ is the fastest-growing cult in Britain today. Spawend in 1982, with 2 more churches now in Birmingham and Manchester... don't get into it!.

- It is a "daughter" of the "Boston Church of Christ" founded by Kip McKean, in 1979.

... And both are "children" of the "Crossroads Church of Christ" founded by Charles "Chuck" Lucas in Gainsville, Florida, USA.

- Their central idea is "discipling", to obey blindly to the shepherd assigned to you; and their main recruiting is from the colleges... you will be "enslaved" for life in the name of Jesus!.

- Rev. Frederick Eikerenkoetter, known as Rev. Ike, promotes a "Christianity for earth"... Heaven is replaced by the "now"... you become now successful, rich, and healthy in the name of Jesus... Jesus rode an ass, Rev. Ike prefers to ride a Rolls Royce, and he boasts to have 16!...

- He does not want a "pie in the sky", he wants a "pie on earth"!.

- He has become rich with the doctrine of "receiving from God by giving to God"... and, of course, giving to Rev. Ike is giving to God!.

- His Science of Living philosophy is "self-improvement and financial advancement by visualizing oneself in a positive frame of mind", a mixture of Pentecostalism and Christian Science.

- It is a "prostitution of Christianity"... Address: 910 Commonwealth Av., Boston, MA 02215.

"PENITENTS"

"Brothers of Our Father Jesus":

This is the opposite to Rev. Ike: It is a fifth-century movement, with painful self-flagellation and stark sufferings for Christ.

- Each Easter, they reenact Christ's crucifixion in Philippines and Brazil. However, the American Penitents, in Colorado and New Mexico, rigorously guard their secrecy.

- The Catholic Church, officially has denounced their gory activities... get out of there!... the "cross" of your daily duties of life is the best.

SNAKE HANDLERS

Founded in Tennessee, USA, 1909, by George Hensley who died of a snakebite in 1955.

- The "Jesus Church of Micco", West Virginia, is the center for "snake handling, and "strychnine-drinking" worshipers, who take to the letter Mark 16:18: "they will pick up snakes in their hands, and if they drink any deadly thing, it will not harm them".

- Their "ceremonies", last for hours, with music and rhythmic clapping to hypnotize the dozens of poisonous snakes all over the hall...

- The Rev. Liston Pack, known as the "Snake Man", in Tennessee, watched the deaths of his brother Bufford and the founder of the Church, Jimmy Williams, after drinking strychnine... but the Church goes on... get out of there!... it is a misinterpretation of the Bible, which also says, "Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God" (Matt.4:7).

"CHURCHES FOR HOMOSEXUALS"

"Universal Fellowship of Metropolitan Community Churches (MCC).

The Churches for Homosexuals, called "MCC", "Metropolitan Community Churches", were formed in Los Angeles, 1968, by Troy Perry, a Baptist minister father of 2 children.

- Now there are 35,000 members in the MCC, in 230 congregations, with 80% gay membership.

- Perry claims that he and other homosexuals experienced on "coming out of the closed".

Many Christian Churches, have special ways to help homosexuals, as they have to help alcoholics, drug addicts, divorcees... within the ranks of the Catholic Church rose up a movement called "Dignity" with "the primary purpose to help the gay to realize that to be Christian he need not deny his homosexuality.

-"Homosexual" activity, is considered a "sin" in the Bible... "but", adds, "you have been washed clean, you have been sanctified, and you have been justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and through the Spirit of our God" (1Cor.6:9-11).

-Isaiah 53:5, says that Jesus "was wounded for our sins and crushed for our iniquities"... "sins" and "iniquities"... Jesus paid for all "sins" and for the "factories to make sins", for the "bad habits", for the "vices", for our "iniquities"... we are all "sinners", we all have "bad habits"... and all we have to do is to be humble, to repent, and to go to the Sacrament of Confession as often as we need (Jn.20:23, 1Jn.1:9))... Pope John Paul II goes to Confession "every day"... don't you be ashamed to go to Confession often, it is the place where we daily can appropriate the merits of the cross of Christ, it is the "throne of grace and mercy" of Heb.4:16.

- The basis for the rehabilitation in "Alcoholic Anonymous" is the Catholic Sacrament of Confession, the five conditions for a good Confession carried out in several days... may be it will be a good idea to apply the same method for those who consider themselves homosexuals.... and the "first step" of the method for Alcoholics is to openly recognize being an Alcoholic, "I am an Alcoholic"...

- My advice: If you want to get reed of any "vice", pray 3 Hail Marys every night, you will see wonders in your life!... if you are not a Christian, pray them!, it cost you nothing, you have to renounce to nothing, but try them!, you will see wonders in your life.

- The "Bible", clearly condemns homosexuality or sodomy as being immoral and sinful. The Pope John Paul II clarifies that "homosexual activity" is morally wrong, as distinguished from "homosexual orientation", which is not sinful in itself (Oct.5, 1979).

- The New Testament, condemns homosexual activity, or sodomy, in at least 3 places: Rom.1:26-32, 1Cor.6:9-11, 1Tim.1:10... and says "they will not inherit the kingdom of God" (1Cor.6:9)... in Leviticus 18:22 homosexuality or sodomy is called "an abomination".

- The worst attitude about any vice, including homosexuality, is "to boast" about it, and "to applause others who practice it", as it says in Rom.1:32... no one should be proud or boast to be a murderer, or an alcoholic, or a thief, or a liar, or a prostitute, or a homosexual... the reason why God chastised so severely Sodom and Gomorrah in Genesis 19 is because they were proud of their immoral sexual activities, and they applauded those who openly did them or boasted about them.

"BRANCH DAVIDIANS"... "WACO"

They are no longer in existence since the 82 death in the fire at WACO, Texas, in 1993, after the tragic 50-day siege.

-The Branch Davidians, were an offshoot of the Seventh Day Adventists. Like the SDA, Branch Davidians believed in an imminent Second Coming of Christ, but were badly weaken as an organization when this failed to happen as predicted in 1959. Even they were sued by many of their members who had bought land close to the supposed place of the Coming of Christ. The SDA had by that time overcome the embarrassment of their own wrongly predicted Second Coming for 1844, 1845, 1854, 1873...

- "Vernon Howell", changed his name to "David Koresh", and took over the leadership of the Davidians in 1986 after ousting leader George Roden. He declared himself the "sinful Messiah" in 1985, and took over the lives of all Davidians, expecting the imminent Coming of Jesus, to establish his kingdom, and, of course, the Davidians would be the rulers with Christ during the Millennium in the Paradise Earth... but only those faithful to Koresh!.

- Koresh was the illegitimate son of a 15-year-old mother and was later abused by his stepfather. He was thrown out of the Adventists at the age of 19 for being a troublemaker. He spread the Davidians to Britain, Australia, Israel...

"PEOPLES TEMPLE"

Jim Jones... "Guayana, Jonestown":

"Guayana" was the scene of the Jonestown mass suicide in 1978 and still the most infamous locale in cult history, where 913 members of the "People's Temple" died after drinking cyanide-laced Kool Aid. Some, according to survivors, were shot down trying to escape.

- "Jim Jones", was the leader and "god" of the cult. They had practiced the ceremonial suicide on previous occasions in preparation for their deliverance from corruption.

- They had cut all links with the outside world and their belief in the imminent apocalypse was fuel by rumors within the commune that earthquakes had destroyed Los Angeles, and that San Francisco had been overrun by the Ku Klux Klan.

- 85 members of the Cult survived the massacre, including Jones's three sons. Some had not been at the commune on 18 November 1978; some had stayed in California rather than move to Guayana, and others managed to escape into the jungle.

- There is a recording of the pre-suicide ceremony, on which one victim can be heard screaming: "We made it a beautiful day... let's make it a beautiful day!"... "We are not committing suicide... it's a revolutionary act", they were told by Jim Jones.
