There are many cults or different versions of religions in America, if you wish to see them, they are just about everywhere called "church". One of the reasons why they are called cults is because their teachings are so different, but they are all claiming to belong to Jesus Christ.
A perfect example of this is that the Second Coming of Christ has arrived on Earth, in various stages but it completely shocks everyone. Some people are still asking the same question over and over about when the Great Tribulation will come which is one of the features of the Second Coming of Christ. They do not seem to accept my word that it has already arrived.
Another point is the Antichrist and his arrival, When I say that Adolf Hitler was the
Antichrist and has already arrived people do not accept that. They are still asking questions of the Antichrist's arrival and what will he do. This all streams back to the teachings of the Church and how principles have been misapplied or even not a teaching at all, 2 Thessalonians 2:3-8. When the Second Coming arrives a true Christian can adjust very well in spite of Church teachings as the Bible said:
1 Thessalonians 5:1-4
Easy-to-Read Version
Be Ready for the Lord’s Coming
5 Now, brothers and sisters, we don’t need to write to you about times and dates. 2 You know very well that the day when the Lord comes again will be a surprise, like a thief who comes at night. 3 People will say, “We have peace and we are safe.” At that time destruction will come to them quickly, like the pains of a woman giving birth. And those people will not escape.
4 But you, brothers and sisters, are not living in darkness. And so that day will not surprise you like a thief.
