In the biblical context, "cults" are generally understood as religious groups or movements that deviate from orthodox beliefs and practices, often characterized by unorthodox interpretations of scripture and a strong allegiance to a charismatic leader. While the term "cult" itself is not explicitly used in the Bible, the scriptures warn against false teachings and ideologies that distort the truth of God. For instance, in Matthew 7:15, Jesus warns, "Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves," indicating that there will be those who appear benign but lead others astray.The New Testament contains several exhortations to remain vigilant against such influences. For example, Paul cautions the Galatians about turning to a different gospel (Galatians 1:6-9), which implies the danger of accepting teachings that deviate from the core tenets of Christian faith. Similarly, 2 Peter 2:1 warns that "false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies." Thus, while the Bible does not use the term "cult" per se, it provides ample guidance on recognizing and guarding against teachings and groups that misrepresent the truth of God’s word.
