This is a repost from the Endtime Prophecy Net Blog.

It's time for one of those soul-searching questions that some people don't
like to ask -- or answer -- because it makes them feel a bit uncomfortable.

So here we go . . .

Why is it, that if a small group of dedicated Christians get together in the
privacy of a fellow Christian's home in order to engage in Christian
fellowship, perhaps participate in a Bible study, and share a potluck
dinner, they are viewed with suspicion, perhaps suspected of being a danger
to society, and maybe even accused of being a strange cult; yet if those
very same people attend a church service where there is also Christian
fellowship, a Bible study before mass, and perhaps an after-service potluck
or snacks as well, they are viewed as respectable members of society?

Let's be honest here, shall we? The way that certain church members blindly
follow the teachings and doctrines of their pastors, priests, ministers,
bishops, archbishops -- and yes, even the Pope in Rome -- one would almost
think that they are cult leaders. They certainly have their congregations
believing just as they believe themselves.

So who is the real danger here? Which is the real cult? Or is there really
no distinction between the two? Is it even possible that persecution against
private Christian fellowships is at least partly inspired by, promoted by
and supported by the "respected denominations"?

What do you think?
