CULTS (False Christian Religions of the West)

Christian Science- Founder is Mary Baker Eddy who plagiarised the ideas and writings of others to produce the book "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" Jehovah Witnesses - Distributors of the Watchtower magazine. The founder Charles Russell was a man of questionable character and was charged with fraudulent activities by the Brooklyn Daily Eagle. In 1913 his wife sued for divorce on the grounds of adultery, conceit, egotism and domination. For a website specialising in JW's Mormonism (also called Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints) - The Book of Mormon is claimed by many to be based on a novel called "Manuscript Found". Joseph Smith claimed that the book of Mormon was a new revelation and based on his translation of Golden plates that he found in 1827 in a hill near Palmyra. Following the translation these plates were alleged to be taken up the Heaven. There are no reliable witnesses to the existence of these plates. Since its first edition in 1830 there has been 2000 changes to the alleged revelation from God. A Holy Book with 2000 Mistakes! BRIEF HISTORY The founder Joseph Smith (born 1830) alleged that God the Father and Jesus Christ visited him at age 14 and told him that all the churches were wrong. In court at the age of 21 on charges of money digging. Smith was forced to leave his home area of New York because he was known as an untruthful man of bad character. During 1835-44 Smith and Taylor publically denied the practice of polygamy yet practiced in private. Smith had a checkered career and on one occasion had to flee from the law because of the flotation of a bogus banking concern. In 1844 Smith is arrested for the illegal destruction of the press, office and papers of the Nauvoo Expositor. In 1857 Mormon militia led by John D Lee killed 120 Non-Mormon men, women and children. aka Mountain Meadows Massacre). Mormons redefine the American peoples actions against Smith ( a scoundrel ) as persecution. They also claim that Joseph Smith is a prophet that was called to restore Christ's church. Given the character of Smith this claim is truly laughable!. MORMONISM IS A CLEVER DECEPTION. FOR THE UNKNOWING IT HAS THE VENEER OF AUTHENTICITY, BUT IT'S BASIS OF BELIEFS IS NOT THE BIBLE. DON'T BE DECEIVED! For a website specialising in Mormons Theosophy The Way International Unity School of Christianity Children of God (renamed the "The Family") Founded by Spiritist David Berg. A profoundly sad and perverse organisation with children forced into sexual acts with adults with ongoing emotional damage. STAY WELL CLEAR OF THIS GROUP. Whenever you hear of a Sect that is promoting unBiblical sexual acts it's time to stay well away. "Children of Satan" would be a better name to use.

CULTS or SECTS (Other)

Church of Scientology ( founded by Ron J Hubbard who allegedly made a fortune from his writings ) Several celebrities including John Travolta and Tom Cruise are scientologists. Sadly John and Tom don't yet understand the reality of what Jesus Christ has done for them and unfortunately would prefer to follow the teachings of a clever conman who will lead them to hell. The New Age Movement Divine Light Mission Hare Krishna Movement Transcendental Meditation ( basic foundations in Hindu teachings ) The Unification Church ( also called the Moonies)

Religions of India

Buddism Falun Gong Is an ancient Chinese exercise and meditation practice that espouses the principles of truthfulness, compassion and forbearance. Falun Gong has attracted 100 million practitioners in seven years. It is widely reported that there has been persecution of members of Falon Gong by the Chinese Government. There is now strong evidence to suggest Falun Gong practitioners in China are being systematically murdered by the Chinese Government for their body parts to service China's lucrative organ trade. Human Rights Lawyer David Matas stated in Ottawa on 5 July 2006 what is happening in China is "a new form of evil". Jainism Hinduism Parsis (Zoroastrianism) Sikhism Sai Baba (Indian god?) ( Approx 30 million people worship Sai Baba as God incarnate. Sai Baba is a 77-year-old south Indian man with a big bushy Afro and a warm peaceful smile. He is one of the most powerful holy men in India, friend of the Prime Minister and controls the world's biggest ashram, Prasanthi Nilayam, aka the "Abode of Peace." The ashram is in a remote town located in a barren corner of Andhra Pradesh, a desperately poor state in India. Due to the generosity of his followers the town now boasts a shiny planetarium, two hospitals that treats patients for free, a college, a music school and an immaculate children's playground. The truth is a growing number of ex-devotees decry their former master as a sexual harasser of young boys, a fraud, a conjurer who pulls holy ash, gold chains and rings from midair and is even a practicing paedophile. Sadly even though good deeds have been done, Sai Baba is simply a wolf in orange sheep's clothing. He is anything but a God.)

Religions of the East

Islam (Followers are Muslims (or Moslems) -Islam is a major world religion with over 500 million followers worldwide. Mohammed is their prophet, born AD570 in Mecca. Mohammed received frightening revelations in a cave in Mount Hira during AD610 and these became the basis of the Koran (Qur' an). Of concern was that during this period Muhammed had violent seizures and foaming at the mouth. These revelations may in fact have been demonic in nature. Sadly Muslims fail to acknowledge Jesus Christ as central to salvation. MOHAMMED IS A FALSE PROPHET. SALVATION IS THROUGH JESUS CHRIST AND HIS SACRIFICE FOR OUR SINS ON THE CROSS, NOT BY FOLLOWING THE TEACHINGS IN THE KORAN or ALLAH, a false god . DON'T BE DECEIVED AND MISLED BY THIS RELIGION. MANY MUSLIMS ARE VERY EARNEST AND DEVOUT BUT SADLY THEY ARE MISSING THE JOY OF A RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS. If Muslims worship the same God as Christians why is there such hatred towards Christians in many Countries around the world? The reason is they Don't.
