Such groups include the Moonies (with a second incarnation), the JWs (recycled Arians), Mormons (we can all be gods, and service a heavenly harem on our equivalent of Kolob), and rabbinic Judaism (the pre-existent son of God did not come in the flesh).
Hey thanks RJR! Jews are a CULT! You grouped us with Moonies! Going to go buy a tambourine tomorrow and head to the airport to raise some cash.........thanks for your time and expertise on this subject.
I really don’t think FreeRepublic is the place for Christian-Jewish dialog of this sort.
Orthodox Jewish people and fundamentalist Christians have a lot in common socially, politically, and even in love of G-d, but there are intractable theological differences, and it serves no reason to bring it up.
Yes, Christians think Jewish people are going to Hell. That’s fine, and most Orthodox Jewish people appreciate the concern for their eternal well being.
On the topic, I think the “cult” slur is novel, and the result of inexact typing, so I don’t take that as an insult.
Now, Reform folks DO think Orthodox and Lubavitchers, in particular, are a cult. If this was coming from them, I accept what they say as an intended insult.
