I want to
share with you something I learned years ago from Kevin J. Conner’s book,
The Foundation of Christian Doctrine. It is about the teaching of some cults on sin. I want to share this with you so that you can be watchful in your pilgrimage to the Celestial City (Heaven).
Cults, for
the past centuries have tried to pervert the doctrine sin. Just as the
scripture says, “But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse,
deceiving, and being deceived.” (2 Tim. 3:13) Merely deceived men have grown
tough in their deception and thus working assiduously to deceive many others.
In their deception they seek to advance theories to deny and minimize the
doctrine of sin. The following are statements gathered from the various cults
concerning sin.
1. SPIRITISM says, “Man never had a fall. Whatever is, is
right. Evil does not exist. Evil is good. No matter what man’s path may, good
or bad, it is the path of divine ordination and destiny. A lie is the truth
intrinsically; it holds a lawful place in creation, it is a necessity.”
2. THEOSOPHY teaches, “All thought, good or bad, leaves
its traces on the thought body and reappears as tendencies in future
incarnations. No escape from this sequence of cause and effect is possible. Our
past must work itself out. Man’s spirit is transmigratory and its good or bad
conduct determines the body it will have in each successive birth. The only
freedom from sin is to become entirely lost in meditative contemplation.
