What is one of the first signs of the cults?
A primary sign of the cults is their refusal to recognize Christ as God. Scripture consistently presents Christ as God, Jehovah, the angel of the Lord, the Redeemer, and God the Son, yet cults deny this essential truth. This denial of Christ's deity is a primary identifying mark.
Les explains that in the burning bush account, God and the voice, which is Jehovah, are used synonymously because Christ is God. He stresses that one of the first signs of the cults is that they never recognize Christ as God, while Scripture does. Here, even though He is Christ, the angel of the Lord, the Redeemer, God the Son, and Jehovah, He is also called God. This pattern continues as God identifies Himself as the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
