Members phkrause Posted July 27, 2023 Members Share Posted July 27, 2023 (And our church is not immune to this problem either!!) It happens regularly. Well-meaning Christians get caught up in fundamentalist cults like the IBLP. If you have never heard of the IBLP, then allow me to briefly introduce this organization to you. The IBLP stands for the Institute in Basic Life Principles. Bill Gothard founded this organization in 1961. He developed it around the idea of helping teens make wise life choices based on scriptural principles. On the surface, this sounds good, and this affected literally thousands, if not millions, of people around our country. However, when you peel back the layers, that is where you see the cracks. https://www.crosswalk.com/faith/spiritual-life/how-well-meaning-christians-get-caught-up-in-fundamentalist-cults.html? Quote phkrause By the decree enforcing the institution of the papacy in violation of the law of God, our nation will disconnect herself fully from righteousness. When Protestantism shall stretch her hand across the gulf to grasp the hand of the Roman power, when she shall reach over the abyss to clasp hands with spiritualism, when, under the influence of this threefold union, our country shall repudiate every principle of its Constitution as a Protestant and republican government, and shall make provision for the propagation of papal falsehoods and delusions, then we may know that the time has come for the marvelous working of Satan and that the end is near. {5T 451.1} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
