How is Christianity Different from Being a Cult?
Hey everyone and welcome back to Deeper Roots.
What makes your belief more real than my belief? What is so special about what you believe that makes my belief essentially null and void? What can I say about my belief that can discount your belief? This series of questions is obviously difficult to answer because not only is it one that we have been hurting each other for ages over, but it's one that continues to change and grow as more people become old enough to form their own opinions. And to make it more complicated, people start adding their new beliefs into the system.
These beliefs do become quantifiable, and a lot of the time it is divided into two different names: this new belief is either called a religion, or a it is called a cult. Now, we have different connotations to both of those words, and some of you might think that they are one in the same, but that is what this podcast is about. Our listener submitted this question: “What is the difference between Christianity and cults?”
