Bible Quotes About Cults

10 Scripture verses about cults from the King James Version, with full verse text for study and meditation.

Scripture warns believers to avoid involvement with cultic practices such as consulting familiar spirits, wizards, or engaging in divination, as these defile the people of God and provoke His judgment (Leviticus 19:31; 20:6; Deuteronomy 18:10). False prophets who speak from their own hearts and disguise themselves as harmless are condemned and must be discerned carefully (Ezekiel 13:17; Matthew 7:15). The foundation for true faith is the recognition of Jesus Christ as the eternal Word, fully God, who reveals the truth opposed by these deceptive teachings (John 1:1).
