Strong City...something weak there.

Last night I saw a documentary on the DOC channel that sent shivers up and down my spin. Most of you who know me, know that I have an unapologetic Christian and fairly knowledgeble about biblical thing.
The documentary was on the Strong City cult... http://www.strongcity.info
They are led by Micheal..aka Wayne Bent. He has his followers believing he is the Messiah...which upon watching and listening to him is hard to believe. Members of this organization need to look at what he is and has done....not even considering the criminal charges against him.
1. He predicted the date of judgement and the end of the world... The bible plainly states Christ said "only the father knows"... The book of Revelation does NOT have Christ/Messaiah coming to earth...telling the date...and them fullfiling it. Strike one!
2. Christ lived a perfect life...the Messiah was to come from a Virgin...and born... already happened... No new Messiah will come and stay on earth....look at Revelation. Strike two!
3. Christ came to fullfill the law, which he did....if he returned...he would not break it. Micheal has under "direction" of the father broken biblical laws (adultry, covetry, and a host of others). Christ/Messiah would not do such a thing. Strike three!

In watching Micheal on the video he was almost constantly in a near hypnotic state...almost like he was drugged...when speaking he was TOO calm. In listenting to the followers: they seem to throw all reason out the door concerning anything Micheal says.
Paul stated that we should work out our salvation with fear and trembling. Test our faith and try it against scripture....prove it correct. There is nothing in the bible to support a number of the teaching, actions and suppositions that Micheal makes.

I urge anyone who wants to see what a cult looks like to view this video. It is very disturbing to see so deep into a organization that controls people in such a way, playing upon their need for salvation. Know what you believe....folks like this may knock on your door promising peace, love and community. Do not be fooled. I pray for their members that they may see God's love...not this false presentation.
