Cults

Right now, as you read the title of this essay, you may feel, “Well, I would never fall for that stuff.” Beware, cults can trick almost anyone into believing their deadly garbage. Unless an individual pays close attention to what a valid version of the Bible says and means, it is easy for a person to be led down the devil's primrose lane by the lies of his charismatic helpers. Someone can dupe people of every age and intelligence level not only into believing false religious doctrine, but can also be swept up and energized that they go out and try to recruit more converts for Satan.
What are cults? A cult consists of a group of people with a more or less unified ideological theme or cultural identity. Within that broad definition, the fanatical fans of the Greenbay Packers could be called a cult, as could any group of passionate, if not overzealous, devotees of any sports franchise, be it professional, college, high school or even Little League teams. The same can be said of those casting their adoration on movie stars and television celebrities.
Egypt, of Old Testament times, had more than 40 false gods, each with their own cult following, and some overlapping. Today, we have ongoing cults as well!
