.....”It will be all religions combining in a worldwide “brotherly love”, “let’s all get along”, “we can put our differences aside” sort of way. The pope leads the way”....

We already see this developing now......

BTW...I was checking further on definition of a cult......we generally have used a secular description, and though it’s applicable it usuallly isn’t from a ‘Christian position’.

Well, I found this and believe it’s the best definition I’ve found to date.... What do you think?

...”A Cult is that which ‘claims’ to be rooted in hisotrical Christianity but has deflected or abandoned the finished work of Christ or compromised on His person.”.....

Jesus said we are “complete” in Him. So when one adds or detracts you’re impuning the completed work of Christ on the Cross. No matter what you name it it wouldn’t be historical Christianity at that point.

Or...with true Christianity salvation is the first thing settled,with all others it is the last.
