156..CONCORDANT A CULT?

 In order to better understand the question, let’s look at the definition.

Cult is defined  as a “a system of religious veneration directed toward a particular figure”.

Well, then I guess those who suspect  the Concordant Publishing Concern of being a “cult” are right.  I’d even venture to say “they’re Spot on”!

There is no question whatsoever that those of us who claim membership of the Concordant  “family”,  members of the ecclesia,   ALL SAVIORS FELLOWSHIP  do indeed venerate a particular figure..Jesus  Christ.

Actually it goes beyond veneration,   because while  serving Him, Paul  tells us that we are a part of His body.

In the beginning it was A.E Knoch, author of the origional Concodant  New Testament who  taught  the ecclesia, down through the century others taught as well,  both in Bible Studies and  through its UNSEARCHABLE RICHES pamphlet.

Currently it is Dean Hough, Jim Coram and Tony Nungesser  who  do the teaching, and perhaps others, of who’s name I am not familiar.

Everything that  has been and is being taught  is that which Paul teaches, and what Paul teaches was what he was taught by the Spirit of God,  and the Spirit of Jesus Christ. 

There is another  thing that  is "cult-like", the wondrous promise  of what awaits  the ecclesia in the days to come!

So,  in the strictest sense of the word, you could call us a”cult”, but it is one that seeks only to find the truth,  as the Christ said that would be available through the  Great Comforter,  the  Holy Spirit

We venerate  our Lord Jesus Christ for His supreme sacrifice for mankind,  which  saves us all,but make no mistake, it is only God the Father that we worship as Jesus said that we should when He said, “Our Father which art in heaven..”..paulnbob
