Zuko Explains: The Freemasons

Zuko Explains Freemasonry from a biblical Christian perspective. Explore its history, charitable works, rituals, secret knowledge, and why Freemasonry ultimately conflicts with Trinitarian Christianity and exclusive allegiance to Jesus Christ.

Zuko Explains — Christadelphians

Christadelphians are a Bible focused Christian movement that seeks to model faith and practice after the early church. They emphasise careful Scripture reading, adult baptism by immersion, and weekly remembrance of Jesus’ death. However, Christadelphian teaching departs from historic Christianity on several core issues, including the nature of Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, and the meaning of salvation. This article offers a calm, Bible based explanation of who Christadelphians are, what they believe, where their teachings diverge from the gospel, and how Christians can engage thoughtfully and graciously using Self Discovery Bible Study (SOS) principles.

Zuko Explains - Word of Faith (WoF)

the Word of Faith (WoF) movement teaches that believers can shape reality by positive confession, faith declarations, and spiritual laws. It often emphasises guaranteed healing, guaranteed prosperity, and modern “prophets” who speak God’s will with authoritative power. Although many in WoF churches love Jesus sincerely, the teaching system has serious departures from biblical Christianity, especially concerning Jesus, the Holy Spirit, suffering, and the nature of faith.

Facilitator Notes – Shincheonji

“New Heavens & New Earth” (Shincheonji)

“New Heavens and New Earth” (Shincheonji) vs the Bible

This article explains the Korean group Shincheonji (“New Heavens and New Earth”). They often use Bible words, but their beliefs do not match what the Bible actually teaches. Although this cult started in Korea, it has become popular in the west. Especially within the Australian and US universities. They target people in their 20s in all the countries to recruit them as covert infiltrators. They often hide behind other names than "Shincheonji".
