Theological inquiry: “What’s the True definition of a Cult? How does a person explain Christianity is NOT one?”

Response…

There are primarily two-types of cults but the one most prevalent in America are Christian Cults. A Christian Cult is an organization that adds anything to the Gospel of Jesus Christ relevant to salvation by “faith alone.” The Scriptures teach us that man can do NOTHING to earn his salvation or righteousness (a right standing) with God the Father; God Himself did the work completely on the Cross and it is only by believing in what Jesus Christ did for us at Golgotha that we can find forgiveness of sin and righteousness with God and the receiving of the indwelling Holy Spirit (John 3:16; John 14:6; Ephesians 1:13).

Christian Cults always deny the sole-sufficiency of Jesus Christ as God as having made atonement for sin. Some cults require attendance at a “mass”- one form of a works salvation; some require baptism; some require speaking in an ecstatic utterance; some include a man-made deity like Joseph Smith + Jesus; some deny the Trinity and consider Jesus a created brother of Lucifer; others deny the deity of Jesus Christ…on and on it goes…but a cult can always be identified by the demonic equation of “Jesus + something” in order to achieve or “earn” salvation.

Theological inquiry: “Can someone help us – how this works together: Prayer and the Sovereignty of God?”

Response concerning God’s Sovereignty and the power of prayer…

Unfortunately, many in Christianity today are confused relevant to how a Sovereign and Immutable God can be responsive to our prayers. If God is immutable, what relevance is there in prayer seeing that all things are fixed and our petitions to our Lord would seemingly be impotent?

How is God’s immutability reconciled with our free will?

God is sovereign over Creation, Time and Eternity, and God’s Plan for Time is immutable but the process by which that Plan comes to fruition is fluid; in other words, God’s Plan for dealing with sin, Lucifer, Time and Eternity is fixed…what He has promised in the Scriptures will come to pass (Numbers 23:19) but God has so decreed that you and I possess “free will” in order that our relationship with Him can manifest in purity and honesty with authenticity.

God, in His omnipotence, allows His created beings, both angelic and human, to choose their affections and destiny in life and God works through and around our personal choices in order to accomplish His perfect will and Plan. God calls each of us to take an active part in defeating the works of Satan and coming alongside Him and working for the Kingdom of God. This is accomplished by seeking and doing the will of God through prayer and obedience to His written word and His Living Word, Jesus Christ.

God only entertains the payers of those who love Him and diligently seek Him and His will for their lives (John 9:31). If you have established a relationship with God the Father by grace through faith in Jesus Christ as your Lord and you’ve received the indwelling Holy Spirit as the Seal of that relationship, your prayers are heard by our Sovereign God and they will be acted upon because you have chosen to honor our Lord by faith in the Son, Jesus Christ.

In this life, we are free to choose servitude to God the Father through the Son and by the power of the indwelling Holy Spirit – or – we can reject God and serve His nemesis, Satan…the choice is ours yet God remains sovereign over both Time and Eternity and His victory in all things is assured. Hope this helps?

The INCREDIBLE FAITH of the Atheist-Evolutionist…

The Law of Biogenesis affirms that life only comes from life of its KIND, but atheistic-evolution presupposes that life in Time finds its origin in non-living material i.e. abiogenesis. Many atheistic and theistic evolutionists will stop me at that point and insist that evolution only deals with life having already formed, not the origin of life, but this argument is faulty; how can one argue or explain the diversity of life void the origin of life? Recently, I debated this topic with an atheist who agreed that the premise of abiogenesis is based upon life evolving from non-life and stated that he was very comfortable with that premise yet scientists such as Pasteur, Spallanzani and Redi have disproved the theory of abiogenesis; it is NOT possible for life to evolve from non-life.

In rebuttal, another atheist interjected and inquired about my belief relevant to the origin of life and I quoted him Genesis 2:7 of the Holy Scriptures:

“Then the LORD God formed man of dust from the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.” Genesis 2:7 (NASB)

Immediately, the atheist countered claiming that the Scriptures declare life having originated from non-life as well; therefore, the Scriptures could not be correct. I pointed-out that science has declared that life cannot “evolve” from non-life but an intermediary – a designer – a creator is mandated e.g. something or someone that is greater than life, outside of life and Time, an entity having dominion and authority over life and Time was essential for the origin of life.

Evolution-abiogenesis, subsequent to diligent testing and experimentation, even in strictly controlled environs, fails to generate life from non-life; then of course, follows the plethora of biological hurdles even if such experiments were to be successful; how can life formed via abiogenesis be sustained in a hostile environment and how could this simplistic cell possibly evolve into the diversity of life that inundates our World? Compounding this problem for the atheistic-evolutionist is the question of the genesis relevant to the dead-matter that is used to form life as per abiogenesis? Where does that “dead-matter,” having allegedly evolved into life, where do the constituent elements forming said matter find their origin?

My point is this…

Evolution-Atheism are the progenitors of eugenics; abortion – the murder of 61-million American babies; Evolution-Atheism are a demonic crutch, a ruse, a scam, a façade of science internalized by the narcissist – the sexually perverse – those who advocate for the murder of babies in the womb by practice, vote or voice – atheistic-evolution is the “religion” of the godless and spiritually dead progressive-socialist-democrat currently destroying America’s Constitutional Republic. It is these that mock the Christian for faith in Jesus Christ as Lord while atheistic-evolutionism mandates exponentially greater faith than Christianity.

It is the atheistic-evolutionist that is not only serving Satan in their rejection of and rebellion to Jesus Christ as Lord, but there exists no greater hypocrite than a spiritually dead atheistic-evolutionist who denies what the Holy Spirit has said and what has been placed before their eyes in Nature while these same hypocrites espouse a ridiculous premise that even their own science has debunked and declared impossible i.e. abiogenesis…this is willful participatory demonic deception (Romans 1:18-32).

To the Theistic-Evolutionist…

An atheist was quick to counter my argument with the fact that Catholicism and the Episcopalians and perhaps a faction of Pentecostalism and other denominations endorse, accept, theistic evolution which says that evolution is true but God has orchestrated the process.

First of all, Catholicism has never been Christian and any people group, regardless of denominational affiliation, who calls the Holy Spirit a liar and denies what Elohim-Jesus Christ has done in the Genesis, is not a Christian. You cannot love God and call Him a liar and you cannot possess the indwelling Holy Spirit and call Him a liar by rejecting His word as articulated in the Scriptures. This is not possible!

Atheists radically defend Darwinism…just the facts, please?

1) Darwin was but a man…his theory was under girded spiritually by Satan.

2) It is irrelevant what Darwin believed or did not believe, his theory has destroyed the life and soul of many millions who have died in sin and will die in sin and Hell as they have rejected Jesus as Lord in lieu of believing the naturalistic lies of evolution.

3) Evolution is NOT science nor can it be. Evolution is NOT subject to the scientific method; evolution is a religion of baseless history predicated upon suppositions and inferences about the past…evolution is demonic deception.

4) Catholicism is not Christian and no one can accept Darwin’s theory and simultaneously believe that God is True and that the Holy Spirit’s account of Genesis is True. You cannot love God and simultaneously call Him a liar. You cannot possess the indwelling Holy Spirit and compromise with the Devil.

5) Evolution is the most prolific causation for/progenitor of atheism that has ever existed. Evolution and Atheism are blood brothers and modern-day atheism is the direct resultant of Darwinism.

Atheist mocks reality of the soul of man: “Christians like to talk about saving souls, but no soul has ever been saved or needed to be saved. Soul saving is a scam! Agree?”

Response to the atheist…

How do you know that a soul does not exist, Mark? Mark, it’s your self-deceit in naturalism via Darwinism that has blinded you from understanding the spiritual world that consumes this temporary realm of Time. You are a soul/spirit encapsulated within a body of decaying flesh and you will not realize true life and freedom until subsequent your last exhalation.

If you reject God the Father’s Way of life through the forgiveness of sin by grace through faith in Jesus Christ as your Lord, at your last exhalation you will not be free but in bondage awaiting the Judgment of the Condemned (Revelation 20:11-15). This temporary life in Time is nothing more than preparation for Eternity; therefore, I urge you to humble yourself and sit quietly, prayerfully, and read through the “Gospel of John” and make an informed decision concerning your eternal destiny. Mark, please, don’t die in spiritual ignorance and please don’t die in your sin; without Jesus Christ as Lord to mediate your sin, you will live and die in futility (John 8:24).

Response to the Atheist…

The actual “original sin” was covetousness initiated by Lucifer in the Kingdom before the creation of Time, the Universe, the human genome. It is because of Lucifer’s rebellion that we exist as God the Father commissioned the Son, Jesus Christ, to take elements from the unseen Spiritual World and form those elements into matter that can be apprehended by life constrained by Time (Hebrews 11:3; John 3:35; Colossians 1:15-18; Genesis 1; John 1). God the Father then removed Lucifer, Lucifer’s destructive sin, from the Kingdom and placed the rebellious cherub angel upon the Earth in Eden. Lucifer was successful in enticing Eve to compromise with evil.

Adam’s sin was relenting to the enticement of his wife, Eve, and compromising with evil in direct contradiction to what Elohim had commanded i.e. the sin of disobedience. Though Eve was the first to compromise, Eve’s seed is not deemed as culpable for sin as is Adam’s sin because Adam received the edict to not compromise with evil DIRECTLY from Elohim but Eve received the edict as hearsay from her husband, Adam. It is in Adam that all of mankind dies (1 Corinthians 15:2).

It is Adam’s disobedience that resulted in a curse upon the human genome and genomic mutational degradation was initiated at that point in Time. As a result of Adam’s disobedience and rejection of God’s Covenant of Sustenance, we all inherit a sin-nature and through Adam’s corrupted genome we all die from sin as we are all sinners (Romans 3:23; Romans 5:12-15).

Jesus Christ entered Time through the womb of a virgin in order to circumvent the seed of Adam via Joseph; it is Messiah’s virgin birth that permitted Him to live in flesh and successfully fulfill the Law of Moses (Matthew 5:17-20) thereby making Himself the only acceptable sacrifice for sin and God the Father had mandated that ONLY sinless perfection, the blood of perfection, can atone for the sin of mankind (Hebrews 9:22; Hebrews 10:5; Matthew 26:28); therefore, God the Father made Him, Jesus Christ, who knew no sin to be sin our behalf so that we could receive His righteousness to atone for our sin and provide life in Eternity subsequent to the death of our body in Time (2 Corinthians 5:21)…this is victory over Lucifer earned for us by our God, Jesus Christ, at the Crucifixion (1 John 3:8; 1 Corinthians 15:57; John 3:16; Genesis 3:14-15).
