It has been very intriquing to learn about different 'religions' within our society. It boggles my mind how 'man' seem to distort the Bible and it's teachings. The way the cults seem to ignore the Bible all together and 'make' their own bibles and teachings... Our pastor said to ask three questions of any cult/religion to see if it is Biblically-based and stays in the right direction. Questions: 1. Where is their source of authority?? (we use the King James Bible) but-- if it's anything other than the BIBLE itself, is not true. (e.g. the JW's use the Watch Tower as its main source of teachings and the bible translation New World Order--leaves HELL out among other things... 2. What do they believe of Jesus Christ? (the Deity of Jesus Christ) If he is anything other than our Salvation--they are wrong. Jesus Christ is the only way. 3. How to come to Salvation? What is 'their' method of salvation?? If you look into their views and it turns you away from Jesus Christ as our Saviour--then you must! look into it more deeply. Those are the most basic questions to ask a person about their faith...

(we use the King James Bible) but–
if it’s anything other than the BIBLE itself, is not true.
(e.g. the JW’s use the Watch Tower as its main source of teachings and the bible translation New World Order–leaves HELL out among other things…

2. What do they believe of Jesus Christ? (the Deity of Jesus Christ)
If he is anything other than our Salvation–they are wrong.
Jesus Christ is the only way.

3. How to come to Salvation?

What is ‘their’ method of salvation?? If you look into their views and it turns you away from Jesus Christ as our Saviour–then you must! look into it more deeply.

Those are the most basic questions to ask a person about their faith…
