Individual Christianity Potentially Dangerous

I've been in the states for about two weeks for the sake of my vista trip and checking up on my family. In this short time I've already been exposed to great deal of anti cult, anti religion and anti God TV shows and propaganda. Each one, be it a documentary or leading advertisement in a public theater, cautions viewers to avoid people who believe in the Bible's doctrines concerning the rise of the Antichrist and the second coming of Jesus. Also "any group that is not associated with a Church has potential to be a terrorist movement". Individual Christianity is now potentially dangerous. The word 'Cult' is becoming synonymous to even the most established religions precisely because its a word the Government uses to send our fear levels soaring up to the "red zone", ooh no, danger danger.
Perhaps we need to research the word Cult before we start throwing the word around.

Quotations about cults:

"...one person's cult is another's religion; all religions begin life as cults. An alternative definition is that a cult is a religion which you happen to dislike." Anthony Campbell 1
"Cult is a word without much use outside the realm of religious mudslinging." Philip Kennicott2
"When someone uses the word 'cult,' it usually says more about them than the group," J. Gordon Melton, founder and director of The Institute for the Study of American Religion. 3
"It's easy to tell the difference - a cult is someone else's religion. Corollary: "A fanatic is someone who believes something more strongly than you do." Jim Heldberg 4
"I have often thought that the difference between a cult and a religion is an IRS ruling." Ron Barrier 4

I saw one documentary on the biography of cults and their crazed leaders. Some how they managed to twist the image of Charles Manson with that of Jesus Christ. There was also a large emphasis on the need to eliminate any "Religious Fanatics" as police forces say its become too difficult to tell between potential mass murderer's and devout Christians.

Almost 70% of movies being produced since 2003 are heavily antagonistic and derogatory towards religion, even those based on biblical doctrine. You see a lot of Priests protecting or directly influencing the villain, the Christian who every one loves and respects turns into the mystery cereal killer to surprise audiences. Christians are portrayed in a very ignorant and derogatory light even in romantic comedies. They are among today's favorite choice of Arch Enemy. The old Lady who keeps a Bible on her night stand and prays for her neighbors salvation is now for some reason the PERFECT stereotype for an homicidal Dictator using fear of eternal damnation to manipulate her brain washed subjects. Silent Christ worshipers have the opportunity to starr in the next Summer of Sam, who did it, horror film.
You can't really escape it, it's a subtle brain washing orchestrated by the Antichrist forces of this world.
Its funny how lots of us can't really see how today's world would allow persecution and the complete outlawing of Christin practices when the truth is its already upon us. We are already living in a world who's fear dominates their ability to discerning right from wrong, truth from lie.
But for us who know Bible prophecy its really thrilling to see the Bible come to life. There is no denying that soon we will fulfill the final pages in the book of Revelation. For blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book, He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen (Rev 22:7,20,21.

Amazing!
I knew all this info was out there,
but, I guess I needed a wake up call!

One thing for sure:

"I know in whom I have believed, and know the He is able to keep that which I have committed, unto Him against that day."

and

"We can't recant, there is no turning back."

Yes, the religionists, thought that Jesus & His followers were a new cult, & I guess they were, until they became a movement & a way of life for about one third of the worlds populations!

So, I guess, a cult is like a religion in it's baby stages uh?

I guess Adam & Even were a cult too!

Cain & Able must a started cults.
Hey we are on to something here!


ha!

Yes, it's dangerous to be a True Active Christian,
but the rewards are great,
