[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 950125, member: 2189"] And early christianity in many respects was considered a cult when compared to the large Roman-Greco world. Even the Essenes were considered a cult in Judean society and yet it's influence on our christianity today could be seen as most important. Cults seem to be so only at a certain stage based on the number of followers but when a certain threshold is crossed in number of followers, it then becomes a more widely accepted dogma and then as cannon at some point. I'm sure Martin Luther when he nailed those thesis to the door probably was considered a cultist, heretic is another name, but yet today he's seen by so many as hero and a great man of god. Cult is nothing more than a numbers game IMO. [/QUOTE]
