Cults and False Doctrine

Items of Importance

• Cult:  What is a cult and what are some of their characteristics?

• Salvation of Cult Members:  How are people caught up in cults not saved? For example, do you think Roman Catholics are not saved, or Seventh Day Adventists, etc. - how? (I don't think they are, but am unable to explain why.   Can you help me give an explanation to them/others?)

• Church of Christ Doctrine: Are musical instruments scriptural for churches today? Is the Church of Christ considered a denomination? Pastor Reagan was told by his father in the ministry "All practices of the church fit into three categories: the scriptural, the unscriptural, and the non-scriptural." Click on the title to see these and more explained.

• Sabbath or Sunday: What day of the week should believers set aside to worship the Lord? When did believers begin the practice of gathering together on Sunday or the Lord's Day for the purpose of worshipping the Lord Jesus Christ?

• John 14:19 - The Appearance of Christ: Please explain what Jesus meant in John 14:19 when He said the world will see Him no more, but the eleven disciples would see Him again. I used to be a Jehovah Witness, but am not any more. Because of their teachings, this verse is confusing to me.
• Being Troubled About the Sabbath:  Do you have people telling you that you have taken the mark of the beast by worshipping on Sunday?  Do they try to convince you that you are evil because you do not keep the sabbath?  Here are some pointers on how to handle this confrontation.
• Greek Mythology: Greek mythology deals with the stories of their gods. Certainly, there is a fascinating aspect to the stories surrounding the Greek gods. There is probably nothing wrong with an elementary knowledge of some of these stories. However, there is a great danger as well.
• Graham Phillips and the Identity of Jesus: According to Graham Phillips, Jesus is the son of Antipater (the son of Herod) and his wife Mary.  He says that he derived this from a close reading of the gospel.  Could this be accurate when compared to the scriptures?
• Ye Are Gods: Can you please comment or explain Psalm 82:6 where God says, "I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High." I know in John 10:34 Jesus makes reference to this passage. I have family members who are Mormons and they use these verses to promote their belief that they will one day become gods.
• Basics on the Seventh Day Adventists: Do you have any information on Seventh Day Adventist church. I have to do a report and there are so many conflicting things on the web that I don't really know what is real and what is not!

• Exclusion from the Kingdom:  Will unfaithful Christians miss the kingdom?  Will they suffer in the lake of fire during the reign of the faithful Christians?

• Stigmata:  I was watching a movie called stigmata and I was wondering what it is?  I certainly do not believe this is from God.
