Cults are groups that often revolve around a charismatic leader and promote extreme beliefs or practices that set them apart from mainstream society. They typically demand strict loyalty, discourage questioning, and may use manipulation or control to keep members obedient. While some cults appear harmless, others can be dangerous, leading to emotional, financial, or even physical harm. The key difference between a cult and a regular religious or social group is the level of control and the pressure to conform without critical thinking.
Here’s the twist; sometimes these traits can be found in Churches with very common or semi-common Christian teaching.
We must know the difference between what is right and almost right.
Second Timothy 2:15 15 Study to show yourself approved by God, a workman who need not be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
