CULTS AND DOCTRINES OF DEVILS
NOW THE SPIRIT SPEAKETH EXPRESSLY, THAT IN THE LATTER TIMES SOME SHALL DEPART FROM THE FAITH, GIVING HEED TO SEDUCING SPIRITS, AND DOCTRINES OF DEVILS. 1 Timothy, Chapter 4, Verse 1.
Cults and doctrines of devils are not new phenomenons. They have been around since the beginning of time. As a matter of fact, the seed which has led many to believe false teachings was devilishly “interred” in Eve when the Serpent beguiled her in the Garden of Eden.
Webster defines a cult as “a system of religious beliefs and rituals.” In this Chapter we are looking at cults as false religions which propagate false doctrines and satanic rituals. All cults and doctrines of devils are inspired, established, manipulated, and controlled by demons.
More and more new religious cults are being formed all the time. The beguiled servants of these demonic cults are unaware of the evil which lurks behind the mask of the devilish doctrines they promote. The principles which the cultists propagate are demonically inspired and will eventually damn their souls if they do not find the truth and repent of their sins.
Many well meaning people seek for truth and “the meaning of life.” Unfortunately, there are many “isms” in the world which are demonically engendered and circulated among the masses. If people who seek the truth do not have a good understanding of reality, they can be ensnared in the deadly jaws of occultism. Many people are sincere about seeking the truth. However, many are looking in all the wrong places. Unfortunately, Satan has impregnated the hearts and minds of many people who were seeking the truth with false and damnable beliefs and doctrines.
Religious cults are the hardest to recognize because “religious devils” use an element of truth in their doctrines. They persuade people to “believe” they have the answer to all their spiritual problems. “Thus saith the Lord” does not always mean the Lord has truly spoken.
Lies hold people in bondage, but truth “sets people free.” The truth can only set people free if they are able to distinguish between what is true and what is false. Wisdom eludes many people who lack spiritual knowledge and understanding because their minds have been programmed to accept a substitute gospel. The Spirit of Truth is the only one who can enable people to experience true freedom. The TRUTH is the only thing which can set people free from the bondage of sin and deceptive doctrines propagated by devils.
Many people are “bewitched” by the heresies and doctrines of devils promoted by cultists and their spiritual leaders. The worst of these cults are those who claim to be Christian, but only use the “name of Christ” as a contrivance to deceive. These cults are becoming more prominent and powerful because people think the term “Jesus” gives them validity. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Although the doctrines, principles, and/or philosophies may differ from cult to cult, the underlying strategies are the same. Their plan is to draw the hearts and minds of men away from the truth by building up false religious strongholds in their minds. These strongholds ultimately bind the psyche, and damn the soul. Manipulation always precedes the Spirit of Witchcraft. Religious demons rule through confusion, fear, and manipulation. Once a cultist gains the “trust of a mark” he or she becomes easily manipulated. Once cultists get control of an unwary and unsuspecting soul, they can systematically erect strongholds only truth can eliminate. These devils work religiously at supplying their captives with as much enticing and beguiling propaganda as they can.
Religious demons rule through confusion, fear, and manipulation. Once they establish a foothold in the mind of an unsuspecting individual, they can systematically erect strongholds which oppose the truth. Only the TRUTH can set people free from the strongholds of false religions and doctrines of devils.
Religious devils work religiously at supplying their “victims” with as much enticing and beguiling propaganda as they can. Religious demons are proponents of all false religions and work at times inside Christian circles to promote “spiritual intellectualism.” Spiritual intellectualism is based upon logic and reason. It hinders godly emotions such as love, kindness, and joy. Religiosity is basically just “pride” wrapped up in a blanket of intellect, ego, and self-justification. Religiosity is founded upon the theory that people can go to Heaven based on their “good works.” Faith, grace, joy, mercy, and love cannot be found in the hearts of “super religious” intellectuals.
Several years ago I was watching a Christian television program featuring the late Dr. Walter Martin. At that time Dr. Martin was considered to be the world’s foremost authority on cults. On that program he was teaching on the cult of Mormonism. Little did I know at that time that the things he was saying would be useful in my ministry.
Dr. Martin told the story of how Joseph Smith, the founder of Mormonism, actually started the religion as a joke. Dr. Martin said people started believing what Smith was saying so he continued with the “hoax” to see how far he could go with it.
Joseph Smith had no idea this hoax he had conjured up would ultimately end up as a religious cult deceiving millions. Dr. Martin said when Smith realized there was an opportunity to gain money and notoriety from this hoax, he decided to milk it for all he could get. Thus, the Mormon Religion was born.
Mormonism is a religious cult propagated by what I call “baboon demons.” Dr. Martin said that when Joseph Smith came up with the Mormon lie, the word “Mormon” was an African word for “baboon.” However, you will not find that same definition in dictionaries today.
The Book of Mormon, which contains the writings Joseph Smith claims to have found, carries more authority in the Mormon Church than the Bible. Where there is a difference between scripture in the Bible and the writings of Joseph Smith, the Book of Mormon is trusted first by the Mormons. Mormons believe they are justified by works, and not by faith. They also believe some of them will one day become “gods” themselves, each one having their own little planet to rule and reign over.
Mormons believe there are three Heavens. The Mormons which perform the “most works” here of Earth believe they will go to the Third Heaven when they die. In the Third Heaven they believe they will become rulers of their “own planet” in the same way God rules Heaven and Earth. They believe the Second Heaven is where the Mormons go who accomplish much here on Earth, but have not quite met the standards of the Third Heaven. The First Heaven is for the “lazy Mormons” who did not perform enough good works to get into the Second and Third Heaven.
Mormons use some biblical truths in their doctrinal beliefs. However, the truth mixed with lies is just the “same old trick” the Serpent used on Eve in the Garden of Eden. It is “uncanny” how the same “modus operandi” always pops up in every religious cult on Earth.
Mormons also hold many secret rituals much like the Masons. Only the members of the cult who have reached a certain status in the Mormon Church are allowed to attend the rituals. All who attend those rituals are forbidden to tell anyone outside their “group” what goes on in those secret meetings. A “true Mormon” will visit Utah at least once a year for a new and fresh impartation of wisdom, mind renewing, and rejuvenation of the “body, soul, and spirit.”
According to Smith, in 1823 an angel named Moroni appeared to him and told him about some golden plates he could find buried under a tree. He said Moroni told him to translate the plates into English. The so-called plates were inscribed with “Egyptian hieroglyphics” which of course were translated by Smith himself. Smith later had the plates published in 1930, calling them the “Book of Mormon.”
If you remove the last letter “i” of the word “Moroni,” you have the word “MORON.” If you leave a space between the “n and i” of Moroni, you have the words “MORON-I.” If you leave the “m” out of the middle of the word Mormon, you also have the word “moron.” Webster defines a moron as a “feeble-minded person.” Even a “moron” should be able to see through that ruse.
Several years ago my wife worked at a law firm with a lady who was a Mormon. Quite often they would share their beliefs with each another. My wife shared with her co-worker that I was a minister. One Friday my wife came home with a Book of Mormon. The lady she worked with sent the book home for me to read and see what I thought about it. She was lending me the book for the weekend. I knew a little about the Mormon Church at that time, but was not an authority on Mormonism.
I had done some research on Mormonism and had heard the message Dr. Martin had taught a few years before. I knew the Mormon Church was a cult, but had never had much contact with many people who practiced Mormonism.
That night I decided to read a little in the book before I went to sleep. My usual custom was to read in bed before turning out my night light. My wife had already in bed and was beside me sleeping. This “night” turned out to be a night which I have shared with several congregations and many people for years.
According to the Book of Mormon, after Jesus was crucified He went to visit the American Indians to preach the good news of salvation to them. The book used the word “truth” several times, but I could tell the truth was being distorted by a multitude of lies.
I found this book to be full of untruths and discerned it was demonically inspired. I decided I had read all I was going to read in the Book of Mormon, and there was no truth within it. I closed the book, laid in on the night stand next to my bed, and turned off the light.
Just as I laid my head on my pillow, a demon spirit walked through the door of the bedroom. The bedroom door was closed, however that didn’t matter because I had left a spiritual door open for the spirit to come into the room by having the Book of Mormon in my house. Immediately, I knew why the demon was there. He had the authority to be there because the book he promoted was there.
This demon was an odd looking creature. The Mormon demon stood about six feet tall. He stood erect on two legs. The demon had a big body resembling a horse, and had a big fat belly and short arms. His face looked like the face of a baboon with a long nose. The demon spirit also had long skinny legs. This baboon-like creature was not hesitant about walking up next to me where the Book of Mormon was laying on the night stand. He looked like a cross between a horse and a large baboon, but mostly like a baboon.
As the demon walked over to my side of the bed and stood next to the book, I rebuked him “in the Name of Jesus” and he immediately fled. I realized I had to get the book out of the house or the demon would have the authority to come back. I wanted to burn the book, but the book was not my property. The lady was “lending the book” to me, and I did not have the right to destroy the book. I also believed it would have been more of a hindrance than a help to the lady if I had destroyed her book without her understanding why I did so. My wife and the Mormon lady worked together in an attorney’s office. I did not want to cause any trouble in the workplace between them.
I got out of bed to take the book out to my wife’s car so she could return the book to the Mormon lady on Monday morning. I went downstairs, and as I walked out into my driveway I saw many of these baboon-like creatures standing around talking. I had no doubt they were contemplating their next move.
I rebuked them in the Name of Jesus, and immediately they all fled. I walked over to my wife’s car and placed the book in her car, and went back inside the house. I could not wait to tell my wife what had happened, but I didn’t want to wake her up in the middle of the night. I just got back in bed and had a good night’s sleep.
When I woke up in the morning, my wife was already awake and I could tell she had something on her mind. She looked over at me and said, “I had a horrible dream last night. I dreamed a horrible creature came into our bedroom and stood next to the bed.” I told her to describe the creature to me. She described the same demon which had come in and stood next to the Book of Mormon which had been lying on the night stand. I told her “You were not dreaming, what you saw was real.”
My wife told me the demon had very short arms and clawed at her during the night. She said this demon came very close to touching her as she laid in bed. She said she was terrified and tried to call out my name, but was unable to speak or move. The demons hands were only a fraction of an inch from touching her. She said the clawing seemed to go on most of the night. Although I had rebuked the devil which entered the room and stood by me, she had brought the book into the house. She also had a lesson to learn.
I then told her about the encounter with the demon and the events which had taken place during the night. I told her I tried to be as quiet as possible in dealing with the evil spirit because I didn’t want to wake her. I thought she might have a problem sleeping if she knew what was going on. This was my one and only encounter with the “baboon spirits.” This spirit deceives multitudes in the Mormon Church today.
The Ancient Egyptians worshiped a god called “Babi.” Babi was, among other things, a bloodthirsty baboon god and murderer. Babi controlled the darkness, fed on entrails, and murdered anyone on sight. Babi was also known for his enhanced virility and sexual prowess.
The English word “baboon” is believed to have been derived from the Egyptian baboon god known as “Babi.” Baboons were sacred to the ancient Egyptians. Babi was portrayed as the “bull” (dominant male) of the baboons.
Male baboons (the animals) are also very dominating and live in a “male dominated” and controlled society. They live in separate groups called “troops,” and they are very militant in nature. Baboons usually have harems of four or more females. Those females are recruited at a very young age, and are kept in subjection by the male population of the troops.
Male baboons are fiercely intimidating, to say the least. They are also known for their violent behavior toward young baboons. Baboons are the largest and most ferocious of monkeys. If this description of the male dominated societies of baboons sounds much like the male dominated Church of Mormon, it is no coincidence. Polygamy was practiced in the Mormon Church for many years. Although outlawed now, many Mormons continue to practice polygamy (in secret) or have practiced polygamy in the past. Many male Mormons recruit many of their wives at a very young age.
Mormons are somewhat militant in nature, and believe in having many children. They also believe that Jesus had multiple wives and children. Although polygamy was banned in 1890, their belief regarding multiple wives, and their dominance of women have not changed. Some Mormons still practice these beliefs publicly and privately, while others do not believe there is anything wrong with these doctrines. There are many doctrines in the Mormon cult which are contrary to the Bible.
Mormons are deceived and under the control of the “Babi” spirit. Their secret rituals and doctrines of devils are promoted by demonic influences within the cult. These demonic figures have “confused” the millions of people who profess to be Mormons. They do not know or understand they are actually being deceived by the baboon bull god “Babi.” Babi also works with the Spirit of Confusion. The word “Babylon” means “confusion.” The Mormon Church is certainly deceived by the Spirit of Babi, and will continue to be ruled by the “confusion” this spirit promotes.
Many Mormons seem to possess a lot of godly values. They believe in strong families and abstain from things which harm the body, such as coffee, soft drinks, alcohol, and tobacco to name a few. However, works do not justify believers as the Mormon Church teaches. People can only be justified by faith in the finished works of Jesus Christ. Most false religions promote sobriety and godlike living however, they reject faith in Christ which is the only door to Heaven.
Mormonism is a devilish stronghold which can only be countered by the Spirit of Truth. Babi controls the minds of millions of Mormons all over the world. Mormons can be shown the error of their ways by explaining to them how their doctrines are completely contrary to the TRUTH which is found in the Word of God.
The name “Jehovah’s Witnesses” sounds Biblical. On the surface the name speaks of “witnessing about the truths of Jehovah and the Bible” to all who will listen. After all, JEHOVAH is one of God’s many names. They dedicate their lives to sharing “what they believe is the “truth” about Jehovah. What could be wrong with a religious organization which is named after God Himself?
I have told people for years to “be careful not to believe everything they hear.” Not all that sounds good is good, and not all that looks good is good. I have news for some people--not everyone who claims they are Christian are really Christians. The word “Christian” means different things to different people. False religions always look good on the surface, however the outside of the pot can sometimes be a lot cleaner than the inside of the pot.
The “witness cult” is probably the most enigmatic of all cults. They seem to have such a great love and devotion for the work of God. Their zeal to make converts is unmatched, even by the true Church. How many true believers do you see going door to door to try to lead nonbelievers to Christ. “Witnesses” are scorned and ridiculed by many; yet, these people are convinced they are Jehovah’s “true witnesses.”
If the true Church had as much zeal as the Jehovah’s Witnesses have when it comes to witnessing, nothing could stop them. Nothing could stop them because the “true Jehovah” would be directing them as they went about sharing the “true gospel” with the world.
Charles Russell was the founder of the Jehovah’s Witness cult. The organization was not called “Jehovah’s Witnesses” when Russell had control of it, but the doctrines which he begat are still being taught within the cult today. During Russell’s reign as head of the organization, he was known to be an adulterer, liar, fraud, and manipulator.
The Watchtower Bible and Tract Society and the Watchtower Magazine were some of Russell’s contributions to the cult. Many of his writings would eventually be accepted by the Jehovah’s Witnesses as canon, or God inspired. Jehovah’s Witnesses, however, refuse to claim any connection between Russell and themselves.
“Witnesses” do not believe in the Trinity or in the deity of Christ. They do not believe in the bodily resurrection of Christ or the second coming of Christ. “Witnesses” believe in strong, moral character, however most of them which I have met are far from being angels. The only way to lead them to the truth is to show them the love of God while sternly rejecting their godless doctrines.
The “Witness” cult is a works based religion. Witnesses believe that 144,000 of them, and only 144,000, will make it to Heaven if they work hard enough to get there. However, the Bible says that the 144,000 are all males and all virgins. (Revelation 14:4) Unless the Witnesses are all males and celibate, they might as well forget about trying to “work their way into Heaven.” Like the Mormons, the Witnesses believe their works rather than faith will get them to Heaven. However, according to the scripture, works without faith and belief in Christ as the Son of God will not get anyone anywhere near Heaven.
I woke up one morning about three years ago with what seemed to be a dark cloud hanging around me. I knew something was wrong and that the Lord was trying to get my attention. I prayed several times that day but the vexation did not go away.
I asked the Lord to forgive me if I had any unconfessed sin or something I was not aware of in my life. Still, I could not get away from this dark cloud which seemed to hang over me. I sought the Lord again regarding the “vexation” which I felt. The Lord then directed me to look at a Bible my wife had bought at a garage sale a couple days before.
I walked into the living room, and I saw a Bible she had bought lying on the coffee table. I picked up the Bible, and immediately realized I was holding the problem in my hand. The Bible was a “New World Translation” of the Bible.
The New World Translation is the Jehovah’s Witnesses version of the Bible. It is somewhat like the King James Version, but there are a few things in it which do not agree with the Word of God. For one thing, The New World Translation denies the deity of Christ. Where the word “God” is supposed to be, it is always replaced with the name “Jehovah.” Jehovah is God, but He has more than one name, and each name has a different purpose and meaning which we must understand and apply to our lives. The Jehovah which the “Witnesses” serve is not the same God Christians serve.
Witnesses believe that Jehovah is the only name for God. The New World Translation deletes and distorts many words found in the King James Version of the Bible. Witnesses do not believe in the Trinity or the deity of Christ. These doctrines, among others, place the doctrines of Jehovah’s Witnesses in direct opposition to the Truth.
Just as I had allowed a Book of Mormon to come into my house, leaving a door open for the Spirit of Babi, I had unknowingly allowed the devils behind the “Witness Cult” to enter my home. I realized I had to immediately get the “Witness Bible” out of my house and destroy it. The next thing I did was “find a book of matches.” I carried the book out into my driveway and set it on fire. As the book was burning, I could feel the dark cloud lifting off of me. Many people do not realize that demon spirits enter into their homes when they bring in demonically inspired books, magazines, jewelry, pictures, trinkets, and statues as well as many other things.
The demon spirits which “hang out” with the demonically inspired materials they promote are not necessarily there just to promote their own devilish doctrines. They bring along with them other demons which may cause other problems in their household, especially among family members. Many Christians have created problems within their homes because ungodly spirits have entered through doors they have opened by bringing in satanically inspired materials.
The “Witness” spirit can seduce people in more ways than one. The Spirit of Confusion aligns with the Spirit of Witchcraft to deceive Witnesses with lies and false doctrines. They beguile the “Witnesses” into believing “their Jehovah” is the true Jehovah. The Spirit of Confusion can only be dealt with by being stern and harsh with it. It is no coincidence the “Witness” spirit knocks on your door to see if you will open the door and invite in its demonically inspired propaganda.
I guess you could say that Jehovah’s Witnesses are “false witnesses” because they bear “false witness of the truth.” Jesus said “I am the Truth, the Life, and the Way. No man comes unto the Father but by me.” Witnesses do not believe that Christ is the way to the Father. In essence, they are calling the Truth (Christ) a liar. Truth cannot and will not be able set people free when they believe falsehoods. THERE WAS A MAN SENT FROM GOD, WHOSE NAME WAS JOHN. THE SAME CAME FOR A WITNESS, TO BEAR WITNESS OF THE LIGHT (Truth), THAT ALL MEN THROUGH HIM (Christ) MIGHT BELIEVE. HE WAS NOT THAT LIGHT BUT WAS SENT TO BEAR WITNESS OF THAT LIGHT. THAT WAS THE TRUE LIGHT, WHICH LIGHTS EVERY MAN THAT COMETH INTO THE WORLD. John, Chapter 1, Verses 6-9.
Believing Truth (Christ) gives us the power to become the sons and daughters of God. If we bear “false witness” of the truth, truth does not and cannot abide within us. Bearing false witness against the truth binds the souls of men and keeps them in spiritual darkness and depravity. The Light of Truth can only be received through faith in Christ and the Blood which He shed at Calvary.
