Scientific proof intro
▸ ± Mt 7:13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide [is] the gate, and broad [is] the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
If it is popular; there is something wrong with it. If the crowd is going there; go the other way.
When you think of a cult, you think of a person dressed funny who is passing out flowers at the airport. But that person who passes out the flowers, rides bikes two by two, knocks on your door Saturday morning, or sits in a pew each Sunday morning, has no idea that he is in a cult. Everyone he associates with and respects is going the same way, doing the same things, and dressing the same way.
People justify being odd by being the few in the larger crowd.
▸ ± Mt 7:14 Because strait [is] the gate, and narrow [is] the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
They focus on the word 'few', which is the wrong focus. They are many small groups but simply being small does not make them true. Attention should be paid to 'find'. The narrow way is not a way where you follow. It is a way that you find.
▸ ± Ps 34:8 O taste and see that the LORD [is] good: blessed [is] the man [that] trusteth in him.
