You Know You're Living in a Cult When...

 

Deuteronomy 13:1-5

If a prophet or a dreamer of dreams arises among you and gives you a sign or a wonder, and the sign or the wonder comes true, concerning which he spoke to you, saying, 


‘Let us go after other gods (whom you have not known) and let us serve them,’ 


you shall not listen to the words of that prophet or that dreamer of dreams; for the Lord your God is testing you to find out if you love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul. 


You shall follow the Lord your God and fear Him; and you shall keep His commandments, listen to His voice, serve Him, and cling to Him."...

Jill,

Sounds like what the woke are doing in this country! Silence anyone who dares question them. So they're trying to make this nation into one big cult.

Sadly happens in some churches, too.

Thank you, Carolyn. Yes, what has been happening in our country is cult-like dynamics. As we can all see and examine it is working very well.

Yes, it happens in churches, organizations and families. There is nothing new under the sun.

As a Christian, one who follows Jesus Christ, we must be on guard all the time. As we actually "watch" the peoples of this country, the world also, seemingly choosing to follow after folly - the same can happen to the Christian who is not on guard to learn the Truth of God in His Word.

"Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, accurately handling the word of truth." 2 Timothy 2:15

All our hope must be in the LORD God. We must not follow after aberrations, but stick with the Word, wisely learning from it. The LORD be with you in these times.
