Name a church, okay… Calvary Gospel Chapel in Phila, PA. I will wait for the report on the billions of dollars, mansion, trips and yachts…… |
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calvary_Chapel_Association https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chuck_Smith_(pastor) There is some serious transphobic and misogynistic shit on that churches page, sad. |
Relevance? Or are you creating a strawman so you can "win" the argument? |
Ah. She didn't convert the "right" way. I'm so sorry for you. |
The moderator removed the post that said “she is one ugly woman.” When she was stripping and posting sexually explicit content on OnlyFans, no Christian posted here condemning her. However, now she’s changing her life, she is being condemned and judged by the atheists and anti-theists here as ugly, money hungry, bi-polar, and an extremist cult member. And more than one poster has said they wish she was still engaging in sexual acts that make her feel degraded and unhappy, because they personally like that behavior and approve of her being an unhappy sex toy for the internet. |
And she is being judged for supposedly lying and and not telling her correct truth about being happy. (How would anyone know?) These judgments are being made upon her here not by Christians. |
If you look at their business model they use scripture to explain why you give money. They have a goal to grow Instagram followers. |
Nobody is judging her people are concerned about an extreme swing to a cultish church. Why can’t people show concern? Go to any college campus and they warn you about cults, it would be nice if someone can save her from that pain before she is too deep. |
What church does she attend? How do you know if it’s a cult? General groupings of cults: -Doomsday cults: Certain cults come together to prepare for the allegedly imminent end of the world. For instance, the Branch Davidians stockpiled firearms and explosives in a Waco, Texas, compound over the 1980s and ’90s to prepare for the apocalypse. This led to an infamous standoff with the federal government. -Political cults: Political groups on both the left and right can morph into cults. -Religious cults: Spiritual beliefs serve as the bedrock for many cults. Some cults are offshoots of mainline religions while others offer brand-new dogmas and theology. -Sex cults: All types of cults might have a component of sexual abuse, but some focus on sex as one of their primary functions. For instance, New York–based NXIVM encouraged rampant sexual behavior between its group members before dissolving. Notorious cults: Heaven’s Gate: Inspired by the Book of Revelation, Bonnie Nettles and Marshall Applewhite formed Heaven’s Gate as a doomsday cult with a focus on UFOs. In 1997, all the members died by mass suicide in an effort to ride a comet passing by the Earth. The Peoples Temple: Jim Jones, a charismatic preacher from the United States, formed the Peoples Temple to spread his own flavor of Christianity before moving to Guyana. There, he founded Jonestown, a compound for his religious group of followers. They died by mass suicide in 1978. The Unification Church: A new religious movement that began in South Korea, The Unification Church spread to the rest of the world. All adherents follow the teachings of Sun Myung Moon. What Makes It a Cult? The answer depends on how you define the word and to whom you are talking. For purposes of liberal religious examination, this is our working definition of a cult: A religion or sect, generally considered to be extremist or false, under the guidance of an authoritarian, charismatic leader for whom members exhibit fixed, even religious, veneration. Groups that meet this definition tend to have an escalating negative impact on the lives of followers. These groups exhibit many common characteristics: One charismatic leader is the group's sole authority on truth; only this leader decides, or has the right to approve, all policies and practices. Members are zealous, protective, and unquestioningly committed to the leader. Members regard the leader's beliefs and practices as truth and law; the leader affirms and enforces this idea. Questioning, doubt, and dissent are discouraged or punished. The group's leadership dictates how members should think, act, and feel. Members require the leader's permission to change jobs, date, marry, or have children. The leader tells members where they can live and how to teach and discipline their children. The group uses public humiliation or punishment, debilitating work, sleep deprivation, or other practices to create group-think and to suppress individualism and doubt. Criticism or jokes about the leader or group are taken very seriously and likely punished. The group is elitist, claiming special status for itself, its leaders, and its members. The leader and members maintain theirs is the only path to truth and salvation. Insist that their own thoughts and feelings be respected, but are not respectful of others' thoughts and feelings Blame the victim for inciting abuse: "You made me do it." Generally will not take responsibility—constantly blame everyone and everything but themselves Keep people isolated by preventing or discouraging contact with friends or family Shove, push, block the way, or stand or behave in a threatening manner Threaten to hurt people or their friends or family Discount other people's worth and opinions Encourage dependence; tell others they cannot get along by themselves Control access to finances, telephones, television, computer, cars, and other family resources Criticize, devalue, insult, humiliate, and otherwise make people feel small, worthless, stupid, clumsy, helpless, unwanted, or inferior Use intimidation or manipulation to get their way and control people Abuse or threaten to abuse pets Destroy or threaten to destroy things other people value Act distrustfully; intrude on privacy (e.g., barging in, reading mail) Withhold conversation or affection to control or punish Exhibit jealousy; make unfounded accusations Have unpredictable outbursts of anger or rage Cite authoritative sources to justify their oppressive behavior (e.g., quoting a religious text to justify physical punishment or assert superiority) Mainstream Christians do not belong to cults. |
Not by your definition Religious cults: Spiritual beliefs serve as the bedrock for many cults. Some cults are offshoots of mainline religions while others offer brand-new dogmas and theology. |
key words: offshoots, brand-new I don’t define cults. People with way more education, expertise, and knowledge do. |
Evangelical is an off shot, born again is new. |
Evangelicalism (/ˌiːvænˈdʒɛlɪkəlɪzəm, ˌɛvæn-, -ən-/), also called evangelical Christianity or evangelical Protestantism, is a worldwide interdenominational movement within Protestant Christianity that affirms the centrality of being "born again", in which an individual experiences personal conversion; the authority of the Bible as God's revelation to humanity (biblical inerrancy); and spreading the Christian message. The word evangelical comes from the Greek (euangelion) word for "good news". Its origins are usually traced to 1738, with various theological streams contributing to its foundation, including Pietism and Radical Pietism, Puritanism, Quakerism, Presbyterianism and Moravianism. As Jesus talked with Nicodemus, He said, “‘I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again.’ ‘How can a man be born when he is old?’ Nicodemus asked. ‘Surely he cannot enter a second time into his mother’s womb to be born!’ Jesus answered, ‘I tell you the truth, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit. Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit. You should not be surprised at my saying, “You must be born again”’” (John 3:3–7). Being born again means being made new in Christ. |
