Yeah actually historians called Jesus a cult leader too. He told people to drink His blood and eat His flesh. He didn't even bother to explain. He had people leave there careers and families.In the Bible people sold there homes and spent all their time 2gether. Sound cultish? rd the book of acts. Come visit us anywhere and you will find people who just really love God. Are we perfect? Heck no, but we have the truth and we have the love of Jesus. Persecution makes disciples of Jesus stronger : )
last thing is --- ask them how they qualified to be leaders? Its a freaking joke....they have freaking mental problems, and filled with hatred towards other people.
This cult preys (not "prays") on people with very shaky social lives and those with little or no real doctrinal expertise...tell a fellow member you are going back to your home church and watch what happens to the so called "love" Lol...suddenly those once smiling faces turn to cold blooded frowns..no more invites to starbucks ;)
@theywant2hideitfromu definitely a cult...mind controlling cult through social psychology techniques ....and no they do not follow the Bible ...its more like an EST club ~~ nothing Christian aboutt them except in name only Mathew 7:15
"Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves.
common cult trick...create atmospher of fun and friendship and you can get (most0people to believe anything....and any (doctrine).."you don't need to bring your Bible..we take notes FOR YOU"...wt...? if you are reading this leave this cult...they want your INCOME not your tithes...they will then try to get you to room mate with other cult members and say "you no longer need your whole salary.give it to us.
@theywant2hideitfromu The income isn't an issue anybody. And ICOC has always told members to bring their Bibles. What Church are you even talking about?
@Transformers217 you're pathetic ... if you really read the Bible and compare what the Bible actually says with what that cult is -- then you will go running
If you follow the Bible you will have a conflict with that cult, they lie, slander and harass ppl. Does that sound like the Bible ? if you said yep then you're brainwashed
@Transformers217 Please ....i use to go there cuz they were on my college campus....many of the guys are looking to get laid by white and asian girls, i know cuz i use to hear them gossiping(its disturbing)...they use the social psychology principle of authority to get the girls to go out with the most incompatible, ugliest guys!! thats how you know its a cult. if the girls dont want to date the ugly guys they give a sermon on how they are being worldly lol PATHETIC
Any recent reincarnations (ICC, ICOC, Empire City Church of Christ) are all versions of the same. They are a cult that forces members away from their friends and families, isolates them and manipulates them into conformity. These people tell you whom you can date, only other members in the church (they call them brothers). What legitimate church tells you whom you can date?
@lovinglife816 Wrong. It's a Christian Church that shows love, unity, and patience for one another. We follow the Holy Bible faithfully. Sure, ICOC has a sad history, but we have repented and continue to follow the word of God. :)
@Transformers217 LIE NUMBER ONE >>> you are brainwashed....you keep saying "love" ~~~ kinda really ridiculous when you you do more of a diservice to Christianity than provide an example. Like a husband who beats his wife and says he loves her...! NO THANKS You are an example of the opposjte of Christianity....the harm that organization does to ppl , they will be held accountable for one day
my sister, I believe many things have changed since then, but if we wish to rebuke actions then let us do so without any unwholesome talk and using what God has put here for us to rebuke actions entirely... Though it draws great concern to me of what this church's history was, I can not see that God will hold all past things against you if we are accepted into his Glorious Kingdom... Be wise in your words sister, refer to James 3 as I had to many times... With Love and Peace
@Marielalaura Yeah its a cult -a dangerous cult. With some that are capable ofbecoming violent and sillingto break the law....you should post and document your experiences ...there is a website called "CultWatch" anxthey have an extensive file on them ' with accounts of their harassment techniques, slander techniques and how they have destroyed the lives of ex-members through slander ..one woman committed suicide another had her marraige destroyed bc they smeared her as an adulteress
