Who is the real cult?
Every Sunday, in Roman Catholic, Orthodox, Church of England and (I believe, I could be wrong) Lutheran churches.
The church priest conducts a fixed and pre-arranged order of service. One of which the majority of speaking is done by the priest, with their assistance, and perhaps the reading of a bible verse or two by a member of the congregation and church announcements.
The congregation reads the same things out of the same one book every Sunday (minor variations to be sure). They hardly use the Bible, only the words written in the prayer book.
There is no prophesying, or freedom for any member to interrupt the service so as to speak their mind or share what the Lord has told them.
Everyone speaks in rote unison, sits or stands according to the priestly directions. Only the priest can handle the bread and wine, to do so normally requires extensive theological training. If you disagree with anything, or want to change anything, there is very little you can do.
Contrast that with the LC, where there is no order of service or prayer book there are no priests, any believer can handle the bread and wine. Anyone can speak at any time.
Supposedly the LC is a cult, and yet it allows more freedoms than in the other churches that you say are not cults? Why is LC a cult and RC, Orthodox, Anglican and Lutheran not cults?
