Thanks I was starting to think I was the only one wondering what in the world possessed Dr. Hagee to endorse Capt. McCain.
anything that is not catholic is a cult according to the see.
the entire religion of islam is a cult but you will still hear it being called a religion of peace by the un informed.
Where and when did he say that?
Define “cult” that excludes any Christian religion.
“Where and when did he say that?” ~ deuteronlmy232
And as an aside, please be aware that all heresy begins with misdefining the Godhead (who and what Gid is and what he is doing)
Hagee preaches a false gospel (The gospel is the good news about the FINISHED work of Christ on the cross.)
As a non Catholic, I could care less if the Pope says I’m not going to heaven because I am a Bible based Christian and not a Catholic. We can happily co-exist as brothers and sisters in Christ. I let God have the final say.
I hate to burst your heretical bubble, but Catholics are Christians, too.
“I hate to burst your heretical bubble, but Catholics are Christians, too.”
That’s where the diagreement lies.
I leave it up to God and happily co-exist with whatever His decision is. It’s His call; not mine to make on that.
“Define “cult” that excludes any Christian religion.”
Just read the major books on cults.
The Catholic site Catholic Answers will also give some information on their labeling of Mormonism as not-Christian.

That doesn’t negate the fact that there are plenty of biblically illiterate Christians in Mormon congregations, just as there are biblically illiterate Christians in Hagee’s congregation.
I said that Catholics are Christians, too and you said that right there is where the disagreement lies.
Really? It isn’t what you believe that tells the tale, it’s what you deny.
They don’t deny the _finished_ work of the Messiah (Christ) on the cross like Hagee does.
Is there anything more important than that in your estimation?
So tell me - what is it that Catholics _deny_ that makes them non-Christians in your book?
I do enjoy listening to Hagee. I am sure he has a few choice things to say about us too(LDS), but I do like him. He seems like a pretty solid guy. I like Catholics too, they seem like pretty descent folks and I come from a long line of Irish Catholics who were very kind to me growing up.
“That doesn’t negate the fact that there are plenty of biblically illiterate Christians in Mormon congregations”
Mormons aren’t Christians, they are Mormons. See the Catholic link in the post that you responded to.
Nice truck. 300 gals, $1200. Whew.
“You cannot censor open discussion of Romney, he is still in play.”
I was not doing any such thing, I was taking issue with your characterization of mormons as cultists.
There’s really nothing to fall for here. Hagee did an excellent job in this interview. :-)
“I was taking issue with your characterization of mormons as cultists”
In every cult book that I have ever read, they are listed.
Our largest religions, Catholic and Southern Baptist among others categorize them as a non- Christian cult.
That is why Christian churches require Mormons to be Baptized.
It seems peculiar for someone not to know that.
