The War Room Against Anti-Christian Cults and False Religions
In Victoria, British Columbia : love is standing in the way of evil
Hey there! This website is dedicated to fighting against anti-Christian cults and false religions. We know it can be scary to think about these groups, but we believe in the power of prayer and fasting to combat their influence. We're going to be taking a closer look at some of the most common cults, like Mormons, Jehovah's Witnesses, and Seventh-day Adventists. We'll talk about what makes them different from Christianity and how they try to recruit people.
We're not here to spread hate or fear. Our goal is to help people understand these groups better so they can make informed decisions about their faith. We also believe that prayer and fasting are powerful tools that can weaken the grip of these cults and help people find their way back to a true relationship with God.
Understanding the Threat: Mapping the Deviance
Okay, so we're taking on a big challenge here: trying to understand and combat the influence of certain groups that have different beliefs than traditional Christianity. It's important to remember that we're not attacking people, but rather addressing ideas that we believe are harmful or misleading. We want to see how these groups operate and what kind of impact they might be having on our community.
Imagine a map, but instead of showing roads and cities, it shows the spread of these different groups. We're not just looking at the number of people in each group, but also how they connect, how their beliefs spread, and what kind of influence they might have on people's lives. This kind of map helps us see the "big picture" so we can understand how to best counter their message.
It's like a detective trying to solve a mystery. We need to gather evidence, analyze it carefully, and then figure out the best strategy for stopping the spread of what we see as harmful ideas. This is a big job, but we're going to be methodical, patient, and most importantly, we're going to pray for guidance and strength along the way.
Muslim Beliefs and Practices
Christian Belief
Christians believe in one God, who is a Trinity: Father, Son (Jesus Christ), and Holy Spirit. This means they are three distinct persons, but one God.
Muslim Belief
Muslims believe in one God, Allah, who is a single, indivisible being. They reject the concept of the Trinity and see Jesus as a prophet, but not the Son of God.

Baha'i Faith: Examining the Teachings
Here are some key things to know about the Baha'i Faith:
  • They believe in one God, and that all the prophets, like Jesus, Muhammad, Buddha, and Zoroaster, were messengers of that one God. They even believe Baha'u'llah was a messenger of God too!
  • They believe in the inherent goodness of all people and that we can all work together to create a more peaceful and just world. Sounds pretty good, right?
  • Baha'i Faith was founded by Baha'u'llah in the mid-19th century in Persia.
  • However, they view Jesus as a prophet, not the Son of God, which conflicts with core Christian beliefs.

Mormonism: Exposing the Falsehoods
Mormonism, also known as the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, diverges significantly from Protestant Christianity, particularly in its understanding of Jesus. Let's delve into three key differences that illustrate these contrasting views.
Firstly, while Christians believe Jesus is the Son of God, the second person of the Trinity, Mormons see Jesus as a separate being, albeit a highly exalted one. They believe Jesus was a spirit being who was born to a human mother, Mary, but that he was not the Son of God in the Trinitarian sense. This differs drastically from the Christian understanding of Jesus as both fully God and fully man, united in one person.
Secondly, Christians believe that Jesus died on the cross as a sacrifice for the sins of humanity, offering forgiveness and eternal life to those who repent and believe in him. Mormons, however, believe that we have to earn our salvation through good works and obedience to their specific teachings. Their doctrine emphasizes personal efforts rather than relying solely on Jesus' sacrifice.
Finally, while Christians believe the Bible is the only inspired word of God, Mormons incorporate the Book of Mormon as another holy text, claiming it to be just as important as the Bible. This additional scripture, which Mormons believe was revealed to their founder, Joseph Smith, through golden plates, presents a different perspective on Jesus and his teachings compared to the traditional Christian understanding.

Jehovah's Witnesses: Challenging Their Doctrines
  • **The Nature of Jesus:** Protestant Christianity affirms the Trinity doctrine, believing Jesus is both fully God and fully human, while Jehovah's Witnesses hold a different view, believing Jesus is a created being, subordinate to Jehovah.
  • **The Authority of the Bible:** Both groups believe in the Bible's divine inspiration, but Jehovah's Witnesses often interpret the Bible literally, leading to divergent conclusions on topics like the nature of Jesus and the role of the church.
  • **The Path to Salvation:** Protestant Christianity emphasizes salvation through faith in Jesus Christ, while Jehovah's Witnesses believe in works-based salvation, emphasizing good works and obedience to their specific teachings.

Seventh-day Adventists: Scrutinizing Their Beliefs
Seventh-day Adventists are a Protestant Christian denomination that emerged in the mid-19th century. They are known for their emphasis on the Sabbath (Saturday) as the day of worship, a belief in the imminent second coming of Jesus Christ, and a focus on health and diet.
While Seventh-day Adventists share some common beliefs with other Christian denominations, they also hold certain beliefs that set them apart. These include their emphasis on the importance of Sabbath observance, the role of dietary restrictions (avoiding pork, shellfish, and alcohol), and a strong focus on health and wellness. They also believe that Sunday worship is the mark of the beast and they believe in the rankings of the false lying prophet teacher Ellen G White.
It's important to note that Seventh-day Adventists hold a wide range of viewpoints, and these are just some of the core beliefs shared by many. It's always best to approach any faith with respect and understanding, and to engage in respectful dialogue to learn more about their beliefs and practices.

Praying for Change: Measuring the Impact
So, we've talked about these groups and their teachings, but how can we really see a difference? It's all about praying and fasting regularly. Imagine if we all came together and poured our hearts out to God, asking Him to intervene and weaken the influence of these groups on our community. We can believe that God can move mountains, right? So imagine what He can do to change hearts and minds!
But we need to be able to see the impact of our prayers. We need to track how many people are still active in these groups, and how many have left or changed their views. Think about it like this: let's say we get a group of 20 friends to commit to praying and fasting regularly for the next year. We can make a chart to track how many people are still part of these groups and see if that number goes down. We might also see a shift in their influence on the community, like less street preaching or fewer people talking about their beliefs. We can even research how many people have started attending Christian churches instead.
We're not trying to force anyone to change their beliefs, but we are praying that God will open their eyes to the truth. We can see if our prayers are having an effect by tracking these changes over time. It's like a scientific experiment, but instead of using chemicals, we're using the power of prayer. And that's powerful!
Praying for Transformation from Depravity
Our prayers also extend to the closure of businesses that promote immoral activities, such as marijuana and drug selling businesses, stripper clubs, nightclubs and pubs and bars, casinos and gambling facilities. We pray for God's intervention to shut down these establishments and Jesus would be Glorified for the changes!!!
Praying for Defeat of Evil Cults
Here is the shortlist Muslims, Bahia, Mormons, Jehovah witnesses, Seventh-day Adventist.
