That being said, and I want to talk about Jesus versus the cult.

We've dealt with atheism, agnosticism, the world religions, the seven arenas for battle.

Let's bring it closer to home.

Here's a cult.

Cult comes from the Latin word worship,

and a cult is different than a world religion in this.

A world religion doesn't claim to be Christian

and doesn't come from Christians.

A cult comes from Christians and still claims to be Christian.

That's the difference, that's the deception.

God's people have always dealt with cults.

In the Old Testament you'll hear about Bale, Asra, Kimosh, Milcom, and Molak.

These are cults that surround God's people

and want to do syncretism,

and they don't want God's people to contend,

but they want God's people to compromise.

Because here's the big idea, friends.

Jesus plus anything destroys everything.

Furthermore, in the New Testament,

there are cults that are surrounding the New Testament and the New Testament rights against them.

You'll see the worship of Artemis.

You'll see Emperor worship where they're worshiping the Roman government and governor
