Comparing Christianity with the Cults - Keith Brooks
America
Introductions
Spiritualism
The science, philosophy, and religion of continuous life, based upon the demonstrated fact of communication, by means of mediumship, with those who live by the spirit world.
Eastern Mystic Religions
MAJOR EASTERN RELIGIOUS MOVEMENTS:
Bahaism: Emerged from Persian Islam but is essentially eclectic. All ways are of God, but Baha has the truth for this age.
Divine Light Mission: Guru Maharaj ji is presented as the Perfect Master, the Lord of the Universe, who has come to uncover the light of knowledge that is within the disciple himself.
Krishna Consciousness (Iskcon): Devotion centers on the god Krishna.
Transcendental Meditation: Marketed as a nonreligious practice, this movement is deceitfully propagated as nonreligious, this clearly derives from Hinduism. Maharishi Mahesh Yogi is the leader. Mandatory initiatory rites in Sanskrit address the Lord Narayana, Brahma the Creator. Daily meditation focuses on the Source of Creative Intelligence within the individual himself.
Vedanta Society (Rama Krishna Mission): This group also teaches the Perennial Philosophy, that god is the essence of all that is, and salvation is to realize
the god (reality) that is within you.
Zen Buddhism: The major Buddhist activity solves eternity’s problems by illogical Koan to produce enlightenment — similar to Transcendental Meditation.
Unification Church
We now have the means to heal all modern-day human problems, exalt every human soul, and bring the Kingdom of God within the reach of every man (Moon, Christianity in Crisis, p. ix).
Unity
Unity is the truth that is taught in all religions, simplified and systematized so that anyone can understand and apply it (Freeman, The Story of Unity, p. 61).
Unity began with the healing
of Myrtle Fillmore. Its firstfruits were the healing of her friends and neighbors, accomplished by realization of the Christ Power within (SU, p. 14).
Comparing Christianity’s Truth
About God with the Cults
Word of God and God
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth (Genesis 1:1).
He is the only God (Deuteronomy 4:35).
God is Spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth (John 4:24).
There is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus (1 Timothy 2:5).
Make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:19).
Jesus was baptized; the Spirit descended; the Father spoke (Matthew 3:16-17).
From the first announcement I have not spoken in secret; at the time it happens, I am there (Isaiah 48:16).
Christian Science and God
God is all-in-all (Science and Health, 113:16).
God, Spirit, being all, nothing is matter (S & H, 113:18).
God is divine, supreme, Spirit, Soul, Principle, Life, Truth, Love (S & H, 465:9).
God is infinite, the only Life, substance, Spirit, or Soul. The only intelligence of the universe, including humanity (S & H, 330:11).
Life, Truth, and Love constitute the triune Person called God—God the Father-Mother; Christ the spiritual idea of sonship; Divine Science or
