Is Jesus Really Who He Claims to Be?
One of the clearest warning signs of a cult is what they believe about Jesus.
Every major cult movement in history has one thing in common — they minimize Him. Some say He was just a great man. Others claim He was a highly evolved human or an angel. Some groups elevate Mary or deceased saints to stand alongside Him. Others deny that the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are one equal, eternal God.
Here's what the Bible says plainly:
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." — John 1:1
Jesus is not a created being. He is not second-tier. He is not sharing His glory with anyone. He is fully God, co-equal with the Father and the Holy Spirit, and He has always existed.
When a religious group hands you a Bible but quietly changes what it says about Jesus — that's not a different version of Christianity. That's a different religion.
You don't have to be a theologian to recognize it. Just ask: "Who do you say Jesus is?" The answer will tell you everything.
"He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?" — Matthew 16:15
Friend, the real Jesus saves. A reimagined Jesus cannot. Make sure the One you're trusting is the One the Bible actually reveals.
