What’s the definition of “cult”? Because it’s a pejorative term.
And although I am not a member of any of the four sects you listed, I would not consider them to be cultish. None of them is The People’s Temple or the Branch Davidians.
I couldn’t agree with you more. CJ is the one who listed them and it’s up to her to find them in those links, in the few I checked only two were listed as cults.
I know a few people who consider the Roman Catholic Church as being a “cult”.
Cults that propose to be Christian diminish or alter the identity of Christ in some way. J.W.’s and SDA’s teach that Jesus and the Archangel Michael are the same being.
Mormons teach much the same even claiming that Lucifer was Jesus’ brother.
Cults preach “another Jesus”. Paul warned us of this saying, “If I, or an angel from heaven come to you preaching another Jesus other than the One I have preached, let him be accursed.”
