In this short book I work in reverse order. I begin by sharing where I’m at now in dealing with cults, and then I work back to explain how I got to this place over the years. I share some personal experiences and key Scriptures, which have helped me grow in this area and find a footing in dealing with cults. I focus mainly on the core and common error of them all, i.e. denying the true identity of Jesus, and therefore the true message of the gospel. (2 Corinthians 11:4) Let me define a cult very simply here: Any offshoot of Christianity that denies the identity of Jesus, and adds that you...

In the United States, it is estimated that thousands of Jehovah’s Witness’ adults and children die for refusing blood transfusions on an annual basis. At this writing, the Watchtower occupies 233 countries where thousands of Jehovah’s Witnesses refuse blood transfusions; and yes, countless continue to die. Because the Watchtower is believed to speak for Jehovah God, the Jehovah’s Witnesses render full obedience to Watchtower teaching. To reject the “council” of the Watchtower is to reject the “council” of Jehovah God Himself. This is the authority that drives the Jehovah’s...

Speaking about Chiloé is to speak of a place where people still live in “that time,” where one hears not only nature but also the silence, at times ominous... And when we sink into sleep and vivid lucid dreams transport us, morning will reveal that those were glimpses into the cave. Are these pages a glimpseof the Great House? Does Sergio own the Alchemy Key that will open its doors to us? It is interesting to read British naturalist Charles Darwin’s accounts of his experiences in Chiloé (1833-1835).

Spiritism poses as a universal, common denominator for all religious groups, teaching the continuity of life and the eternal progression of man towards perfection in the spirit realm. The basic principle of Spiritism is the foretelling of future events or the disclosure of hidden knowledge through pretended communication with the spirits of the dead. Persons who claim to have this power of communication with the "dead" are commonly known today as Mediums. (The King James Version of the Bible designates such persons as having "familiar spirits"). It is an ancient form of deception and one of...
