We know for many of you this will be a challenging course but we promise as with every class, it will be benefical and what you will learn you will NEED it in the days ahead.
To assist you in your studies, we recommend you visit the following website:
This is a very useful website where you will find some very interesting information that pertains to your class. Here's an excerpt for what you will find on the site:
"Whenever a Christian encounters a cultist, certain primary thoughts must be paramount in his mind:
1. The average cultist knows his own terminology very thoroughly. He also has a historic knowledge of Christian usage and is therefore prepared to discuss many areas of Christian theology intelligently.
2. The well-trained cultist will carefully avoid definition of terms concerning cardinal doctrines such as the Trinity, the deity of Christ, the Atonement, the bodily resurrection of our Lord, the process of salvation by grace and justification by faith. If pressed in these areas, he will redefine the terms to fit the semantic framework of orthodoxy unless he is forced to define his terms explicitly.
3. The informed Christian must seek for a point of departure, preferably the authority of the Scriptures, which can become a powerful and useful tool in the hands of the Christian, if properly exercised.
4. The concerned Christian worker must familiarize himself to some extent with the terminology of the major cult systems if he is to enjoy any measure of success in understanding the cultist’s mind when bearing a witness for Christ."
