DKW 86 7,419 Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 That is a cult. There is no Love of Christ there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell kinda messed up Christian church is that? http://www.foxnews.c...church-beating/ More like a cult of personality. Sort of hard to regulate or give oversight when anyone can self-ordain, rent a room and hang a sign out claiming to be a church. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitanTiger 20,472 Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 The neighbors described it as a cult as well. This seems more like an insular handful of families ala Westboro Baptist. http://www.syracuse.com/crime/index.ssf/2015/10/neighbors_describe_odd_happenings_at_new_hartford_church_where_teen_fatally_assa.html#incart_story_package Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AURaptor 1,122 Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Thread title should be ' cult ' beating, but then, what really is the difference between a cult, a mosque, a church, a temple.... Like what separates a gang from a crime organization to a rogue state ? The # of folks in each organization, apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone has their own opinion but to me, in very simplistic terms, a Christian church is where believers of Jesus Christ gather to worship, enjoy fellowship, and be disciples in their community. That doesn't mean there aren't attendees who do not profess Jesus as their Lord and Savior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
