When “Cult” Becomes a Shield Against Scripture

from Sergio DeSoto The Counterintuitive Podcast Hosted by Sergio DeSoto

When “Cult” Becomes a Shield Against Scripture Description: Many believers use the word “cult” as a shield — not to guard truth, but to deflect conviction. In this episode, Sergio explores how that label has become a way to silence anyone calling the Church back to biblical obedience, covenant, and Torah. We’ll discuss why truth seekers are often branded as rebels, how Scripture—not tradition—must remain the final authority, and why returning to obedience is not legalism but love. Key Scriptures: Isaiah 8:20, Matthew 15:9, Acts 24:14, John 14:15. Reflection: Are we rejecting truth simply because it challenges our comfort? Listen, test everything by the Word, and share with someone who’s been called “too Hebrew” for loving obedience. This is a public episode.
