Oh Im sure EVERYONE who has some disagreements with the things I post on this forum believe that I am in a cult.
The problem is that when I ask them a few questions about any others in the world that believe as they do about the things we disagree about?...they are mute.
They suddenly have very little to add.
I remember asking this one guy for the name of any church in the phone book that teaches the stuff he believed?....He could not list a name.
He is a cult of 'one'
He is both the unquestioned leader of this cult of One,
as well as its blind follower.
The cult of One considers the whole world in error, and only that single person out of the billions and billions of people on the earth to have the direct connection to the truth.
Funny....
The funny thing is, that the world is filled up with members of the cults of One.

dont care...
I remember talking with one guy on this forum and I asked him what other church in the whole wide, wide world of sports also taught as he believed?
He was mute.
He had nothing to answer with...
The reason is because he knew that of all the people on the face of the earth, he and only he had dreamed up the ideas that he clung to on this forum.
"Isn't it lucky to be you" I thought to myself.
Now it's one thing to maintain that you have found the Christian's truth after a private study of the Bible, But it's another thing to then claim also to be the only one in modern history to know the truth!
Thats sorta like not just claiming to be someone, but to claim to be Napoleon
And that leads me to this next observation.
Why is it that the crazy people never claim to be someone of minor importance?
Why do they always claim to be a Lost King in England or Jesus or in this case, the only person in the world that understands the Bible...why?
The problem with cults is they usually don't come as just a one member party but are loaded with lots of members and after a service they usually give cookies.
Birthed on the Internet, fed with myth and conspiracy.
Unconnected to any supervision or tradition.
Alone with no understanding that the church is a Body.
The Cult of One has a membership of only one person, but that person fills to roles.
They are the Leader whose word cant be questioned.
They are the blind follower that has lost the ability to think for themselves.
many times a person in the Cult of One will complain against the different christian Churches.
declaring that the true Christian church would be more united.
Yet question them more and you will see that even if you agree with them 99.999 percent, that last little place where you do disagree will cause them to call you "lost"
This shows me that people that are a Cult of One, dont want anyone else to join them.
As much as the Cult of One people push their ideas, they could not stand anyone actually being like them...

What is funny is that you forget that their are many bible-reading christians that don't believe Jesus is God.. Granted their is not a church formed on that premise alone because there is no need. The message other than that is the same. Those who believe Jesus is God just worship Jesus whereas the other group worships only God..
So tell me how you can say "cult of one" in this situation... Many churches have Jesus is not God believers... right there next to the Jesus is God believers.
I not only did not forget, I took that into account.

So what I have found true is that the Cult of One people will claim to be part of a vast church that is "hidden"...without building, without history, without....(well when you ask them for a listing) without membership...LOL
They might claim that "lots of people" believe as they do.
But try to pin them down to a name of a church?....they got nothing
Ask for the name of a small home fellowship?....Zip
Ask them the name of a writer that teaches as they believe?...oh here they are tempted to list a name, their favorite author, but they stop themselves knowing that there are also major ideas that said author holds that would be embarrassing for him to be connected with...so again he is mute.
or just ask them for the name of one of two people that believe as they do?
That they are ready to do!
and just before they try to answer that, tell them that they cant just list their wife......or the dog or cat.
ahh, the vast body of unrecognized believers is narrowed once again down to one name.....theirs.

The point I make here is that many times the people that have fallen into "The Cult of One, will bark and bark at the traditional church.
The will point out that a real Christian church would not be split up into so many different denominations.
They will denounce the way each church has split off from the others.
and then in the next breath...
You will find that no matter how many places of agreement you might have with them on other issues, that they hold so tightly to some things that are so off the beaten path that they have no knowledge of anyone being even close to full agreement with them in their life.
They could never set up a church and get it going because their teachings are not held close enough by anyone that they would allow to lead their church.
99.99% agreement is not close enough.
that little point of disagreement is enough to cause them to walk away and declare you "Lost"
They turn out to be the ultimate "split off"
They complain of the denominations, and yet turn out to be a denomination of "one person"
