OCCULTISM, OPPRESSION
& BONDAGE
This teaching will help bring you into a basic knowledge of occultism in its various
forms, as well as providing some information in regard to cults.
Many people view
occultism as the practice of Satanic rituals involving various types of sacrifices.
While this
is true, occultism also incorporates many other more subtle activities which people
ignorantly accept as general entertainment or harmless experimentation with the
supernatural.
Stated briefly, occultism is participation or involvement in any way with astrology,
fortune-telling, magic practices or spiritism.
Some false religious cults are of an occult
nature because they include occult practices or teaching in their belief systems - but others
do not come under the general heading of occultism.

CULTS AND FALSE TEACHING
Background Reading: 2 John Chapter 1
The definition of a cult is as follows:
A system or community of religious worship and ritual, especially one with
rites centering around sacred symbols.
This often involves fanatical beliefs
fixed around a person or thing.
From a Christian perspective, any other
system of religious, magical or metaphysical beliefs is viewed as a cult.
We have compiled a list of some of the numerous cults which deceive people into
believing they are “the way.”
All of these cults have one major thing in common, that being
their denial of the deity of Christ in one form or another.
Some of the most common cults are: Christian Science, Spiritualism, Jehovah’s
Witnesses, Armstrongism (the Worldwide Church of God), Mormonism, Eastern
Mysticism, The Way International, The Unification Church, Baha’ism, The Divine Light
Mission, Krishna Consciousness, Vedanta Society, Buddhism, Hinduism, Rosicrucians,
Reiki, The Children of God, The New Age Movement, Islam, The Inner Peace Movement,
Unitarians, Theosophy, Scientology, Freemasonry and other similar secret societies.
