CUL:The clamor of the Cults The voices of the cults The Christian Cults, many of them claiming to be the true Church on earth, speak with varied voices. The voice of Mormonism is itself dual, for there are two different Churches of Latter-day Saints, each with twelve Apostles, and both claiming to the right Church. The Jehovah's Witnesses are diverse form these, and yet they, too, acknowledge none right but themselves. Other voices clamor for attention - those of Christian Science, Theosophy, Christadelphianism, Spiritualism, The Radio Church of God, Seventh Day Adventism, The churches of Christ - and the seeker for Truth may only find himself bewildered by all these, and many more, confusing voices. The Voice of God The inspired Writing says: "God having spoken to the fathers in many portion and in many ways of old by the prophets, in the last days of these (the prophets) spoke to us in Son" Heb. 1:1-2). How wonderful this declaration! God having of old spoken in the prophets, has personally fulfilled their mission by a full revelation of Himself, in Son. (Thes O.T. revelation were various in nature and form; fragments of the whole truth, presented in manifold forms, in shifting hues of separated color: Christ is the full revelation of God, Himself the pure light, uniting in His one Person the whole spectrum, ' Henry Alford, D.D., commentary on The Greek Testament.) Jesus Christ is the Word of God (Rev. 19:13). God has spoken to us, in Son. No further need for prophets and partial or progressive revelations - God was "In Christ" and in Him has said all. Thus while the many voices of the Cults are contradictory and confusing, the single, authoritative voice of God speaks in divine clarity: Jesus said: "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life; no man cometh unto the Father but by Me" (John 14:6). Jesus Christ, - crucified, buried, risen from the dead and alive for evermore. Here, indeed, is the Saviour! Are you a Latter-day Saint? Do you know, that no church on earth can save you, but (Acts 4:12) only the Lord Jesus Christ? That Joseph Smith testified to having been a diviner; held conversations with spirits; translated the Book of Mormon by spirit-writing and was a clairvoyant? God abominates all who practice these dark arts (see Deuteronomy 18). Do you know that baptism for the dead is not a Christian rite, and that baptism, no matter by whom performed, cannot save you? Jesus Christ alone is the Saviour. "Salvation belongeth unto the Lord (Ps. 3:8); "Behold, God is my salvation" (Isaiah 12:2). Are you prepared to rest your hope of 'Exaltation' on anti-Christian, Mormon Temple rites? These are borrowed from those of Freemasonry, which in turn are based on pagan secret mysteries. Jesus declared, "In secret have I said nothing" (John 18:20), and the Apostle Paul, speaking by the Spirit of Truth, said "God...dwelleth not in temples made with hands" (Acts 17:24). God is not worshiped, in spirit and in truth, by ordinances of merely human origin: "But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am the Lord which exercise living kindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the Lord" (Jeremiah 9:24). You can become a true son of God by receiving Jesus Christ as your Saviour and Lord (John 1:11-13; Rom. 10:9, 10; 1 John 3:1-2).

Do you know that you can be saved, and one day join the redeemed in Heaven? God says, "behold (consider), now is the time of acceptance; behold, now is the day of salvation" (2 Cor. 6:2). Do you know that Jesus Christ warned His disciples not to acknowledge any man, or group of men, as absolute authoritative teachers? He said, "But by not ye called rabbi; for one is the teacher of of you, and all ye are brothers ... Neither by ye called leaders, because your leader is one, the Christ" (Matt. 23:8, 10). Are you prepared to take the risk of resting your faith on the wisdom of men (1 Cor. 2:5), rather than on Jesus Christ the power of God (1Cor. 1:24)? Do you know that the New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures is not always consistent? A recent Christian writer says: "They (the translators) aver that the Greek words 'Kurios' (Lord) and 'theos' (God) are rendered 'Jehovah' uniformly. Upon coming to Philippians 2:11, they fail to translate 'Jehovah; as they did in the say word 237 other times, why? It would then have read, 'And every tongue should openly confess that Jesus is Jehovah to the glory of the Father.' If Romans 1:13 is translated correctly by them as 'Everyone that calls upon the name of Jehovah will be saved, ' then verse nine should be translated, 'For if you publicly declare the word in your mouth that Jesus is Jehovah ... you will be saved.' You note in both places they broke their own rules and left 'Lord' stand."

Do you know that the forty-five mission listeners to "The World Tomorrow" broadcasts and the the six million readers of the Plain Truth are indoctrinated by Mr. Armstrong with his teaching that Man is 'body and breath' - that 'he is a soul, but has no soul'? Do you know that many of Mr. Armstrong's teachings are in direct opposition to those of our Lord Jesus Christ? Consider the following: Mr. Armstrong teaches that death is cessation of consciousness and existence. But Jesus said, "The rich man also died ... and in hell (hades) ... being in torments ... said, Father Abraham ... I am tormented in this flame" (luke 16:22-24). Mr. Armstrong teaches that no one can be born again now. But Jesus said, "Ye must be born again" (John 3:7). Mr. Armstrong teaches that the wicked will be annihilated. But Jesus said (Matt. 25), that the "blessed ... righteous" would enjoy "Life eternal" (vs. 34, 46), while the "cursed" would go away "into everlasting fire" ... "punishment eternal" (vs. 41, 46). Bearing in mind the solemn and eternal issues involved, whose word will you believe - that of Mr. Armstrong, or that of the Lord Jesus Christ?
