Where do cults come from?
The Scriptures warn that cults originate from those who are unlearned and unstable, twisting Paul's epistles as they do the other Scriptures. They become masters at twisting the Scriptures, and their end is their own destruction. This is where cults come from.
Les explains that the apostle Peter acknowledged Paul's epistles (Romans through Hebrews) contain some things hard to be understood. Peter himself struggled to comprehend that God would save a multitude of Gentiles without Jews—Paul's message. Les teaches that unlearned and unstable people twist these Scriptures, just as they twist other Scriptures, becoming masters at it. That is where cults come in, and their end result is their own destruction.
