Groups List: HCopyright © 1999-2025, NZ Cult List (Cults.co.nz)
Hot picks: Hallowe'en, Heavenly Mother, Hermes Far Eastern Shining, Benny Hinn, His Way Church, Mark Holloway, Holy Laughter Movement, Homeopathy, L Ron Hubbard, Rodney Howard-Browne HHagin, Kenneth E. You are as much the incarnation of God as Jesus Christ was… the believer is as much an incarnation as was Jesus of Nazareth. – Kenneth Hagin, The Word Of Faith, December 1980, pg 14. The Bible makes it clear that the believer is not Christ. Colossians 2:9 says "For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form" (NIV).The idea that believers are God is straight out of the New Age. If we ever wake up and realize who we are, we’ll start doing the work that we’re supposed to do. Because the church hasn’t realized yet that they are Christ. That’s who they are. They are Christ. – Kenneth Hagin, The Word of Faith, December 1980. The Bible makes it clear that the church is not Christ. Ephesians 5:24 says the church submits to Christ (and makes an analogy of the church being the bride of Christ). [Man] was created on terms of equality with God, and he could stand in God’s presence without any consciousness of inferiority… God made us as much like Himself as possible… He made us the same class of being that He is Himself… Man lived in the realm of God. He lived on terms equal with God… [The] believer is called Christ… That’s who we are; we’re Christ. – Kenneth Hagin, Zoe: The God-Kind of Life, 1989, pg 35-36, 41. The Bible makes clear we are not equal with God. Psalm 8:5a says "You have made them [mankind] a little lower than the angels." The Lord Himself taught me about prosperity. I never read about it in a book. I got it directly from heaven. The Bible has a lot to say about money, but properity doctrine is not part of it. Haile Selassie. An Ethiopian king,
actual name Ras Tafari Makonnen, who Rastafarians
believe is/was the Second Coming of Christ and the Supreme Being. "Emperor
Haile Selassie" is a title he claimed on his coronation as king on 2 November
1930, Haile Selassie meaning "Power of the Trinity." Other titles he claimed
for himself included Conquering Lion of the Tribe of Judah, Elect of God,
and King of the Kings of Ethiopia. He died 27 August 1975. While (officially)
murdered in prison after a coup, some Rastafarians believe the death was
fabricated. Many believe Haile Selassie lives on in individual Rastafarians.

The scientific minded reader will be pleased in that for the first time a cogent and verifiable means of verification of spiritual reality is provided by means of an 'objective' reduplicable method of measurement based on physiologically derived clinical evidence. Which is really nothing but babble (remember GWP healing instruments?), but some people just lap it up. The "'objective' reduplicable [sic] method" mentioned may relate to the God consciousness rating system referred to by this researcher: Hawkins uses applied kinesiology, a New Age pseudoscience, to calibrate everyone and everything's level of consciousness in the universe. Jesus is at 1000 in his system, and Hawkins himself calibrates one of his books at 999.8. He believes he is God. He also rates Buddha and Krishna at 1000, indicating they, along with Jesus, have total God consciousness. Anyone who thinks applied kinesiology doesn't work, or in double blind trials is only as good as random chance automatically rates below 200. To stay above 200, contact with unclean "under-200-ers" (my term), which supposedly make up about 80% of the population, must be avoided. Anyone who questions the scale also automatically rates below 200 (and probably only about 140) and is therefore not worth listening to – "I don't like to talk to dumb people" – whereas someone above 700 has reached enlightenment. How George W Bush rated a 460 only Mr Hawkins knows. In fits of self-contradiction "Hawkins repeatedly makes statements such as, 'All opinions are vanities,' and, 'The mind has no capacity to tell truth from falsehood.'" See self-refuting statements for other examples of statements that contradict themselves. Hawkins, Luke. HCBN. HE’S COMING Broadcasting Network (yes, with those capitals) is a ministry run by Seventh-Day Adventists. It is apparently not represented here. A sister organisation is Firstlight Broadcasting Network which runs a TV channel in New Zealand. HCC Ltd. Healing Breath. Healing Water. Health Air Products. Health Association. See New Zealand Health Association Limited. Healthy Home Solutions. Heaslip, Peter. A licensee of the United Pentecostal Church International (UCPI) in New Zealand, which is a denomination of the heretical Oneness Pentecostal movement. He tells us that a licensee is the first of three steps toward ordination in the UCPI and allows the use of the title "Reverend". Peter Heaslip
has claimed to have an earned doctorate degree, a D Soc Sci (which he always
writes with the spaces), but the New Zealand Cult List has questioned
this degree and suspects it is from an overseas degree mill. As far as we are aware an earned DSocSci degree
is not available from any New Zealand educational organisation (Lincoln University has bestowed it as an honorary degree, Doctor of Social Science honoris causa). It should be an easy matter to be assured of its authenticity but Mr Heaslip
has refused multiple times to provide details of the degree, calling it
his "private life", unless the New Zealand Cult List pays him $100,000. In response to that request the New Zealand Cult List editor asked if there were any mature ways he could use his doctorate to earn money. Mr Heaslip has also ignored questions about any supporting masters or bachelor level degrees. The New Zealand Cult List notes
he has publicly claimed the doctorate degree, for example signing off his congratulations
for the Watchman Fellowship web site, which In response to the charge of Oneness Pentecostalism being a heresy Peter Heaslip has responded: As to me being a heretic ..... I follow God's own statement (Deuteronomy 6:4) that He is ONE God and that there is NONE beside Him. It is the (non-scriptural) Trinitarians that are heretical to God's own statement. Peter Heaslip thus regards all orthodox Christians as heretical. The essential Christian doctrine of the Trinity is addressed in the Oneness Pentecostal listing.

Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. See Whare Ra. Hinduism. Contemporary Hinduism has four major divisions: Saivism, Shaktism, Smartism, and Vaishnavism. ... A Smartist would have no problem worshiping Shiva or Vishnu together as he views the different aspects of God as leading to the same One God. It is the Smarta view that dominates the view of Hinduism in the West. By contrast, a Vaishnavite considers Vishnu as the one true God, worthy of worship and other forms as subordinate. ... Accordingly, many Vaishnavites, for example, believe that only Vishnu can grant moksha. Similarly, many Shaivites also hold similar beliefs for Shiva. ... There are some Hindus who consider the various deities not as forms of the one Ishvara, but as independently existing entities, and may thus be properly considered polytheists. It is said that although there are millions of gods in Hinduism, not
one is a god of love. (There are many gods of lust.) You are invited to

His Way Church. When I turned up they were very welcoming. The music was fairly typical, Pentecostal church styles, no problems so far. It was when Rob got up to preach that I became concerned. I was the only one with a Bible there but there was little need as he didn't use the Bible, except once when he misquoted a parable in such a way that the whole point of the story was missed ... It was when he began prophesying that it got really interesting. He pulled people out of the crowd and would prophesy stuff over them (no problem) and then would pray for them. One man refused to fall over in prayer and so Rob proceeded to shoulder ram him so he hit the floor. Then Rob spent 30 mins prophesying about himself. He told the church that God had told him that he was a great Redwood Cedar and they were the birds in his branches and that if they just followed him they would be kept safe. He saw more birds coming and knew that one day the whole of New Zealand would hear the truth about God from him. The church then started to chant his name and get into ecstatic frenzies over the fact that God had sent them such a divinely appointed leader. Another person who attended for some time said the church reminded them of the shepherding movement (see the International Church of Christ Closeup section on Discipling), and recommended a couple of Bible passages. So don’t boast about following a particular human leader. For everything belongs to you — whether Paul or Apollos or Peter, or the world, or life and death, or the present and the future. Everything belongs to you, and you belong to Christ, and Christ belongs to God. – 1 Corinthians 3:21-23 (NLT). "Don't let people do that to you, put you on a pedestal like that. You all have a single Teacher, and you are all classmates. Don't set people up as experts over your life, letting them tell you what to do. Save that authority for God; let him tell you what to do. No one else should carry the title of 'Father'; you have only one Father, and he's in heaven. And don't let people maneuver you into taking charge of them. There is only one Life-Leader for you and them – Christ. "Do you want to stand out? Then step down. Be a servant. If you puff yourself up, you'll get the wind knocked out of you. But if you're content to simply be yourself, your life will count for plenty. Frauds! "I've had it with you! You're hopeless, you religion scholars, you Pharisees! Frauds! Your lives are roadblocks to God's kingdom. You refuse to enter, and won't let anyone else in either. "You're hopeless, you religion scholars and Pharisees! Frauds! You go halfway around the world to make a convert, but once you get him you make him into a replica of yourselves, double-damned. – Matthew 23:8-15 (The Message).

All day long I have held out my hands to an obstinate people, who walk in ways not good, pursuing their own imaginations. – Isaiah 65:2 (NIV). Holmes, Ernest Shurtleff. Holy Laughter Movement. Holy Spirit Association for the Unification of World Christianity.
Homeopathy.
The New Zealand Cult List is of the firm opinion there is no published evidence to support the use of homeopathy as anything other than a placebo but homeopathy is assigned a Danger rating here because of the incredible amount of money wasted on it and because the blind faith that many homeopathy believers place in it causes spiritual blindness in other areas. Lives have also been put at risk by people relying on homeopathy to protect them from disease. In August 2005 a significant study appeared in the British medical magazine
Clinical effects of homoeopathy are placebo effects A Chances are that The Lancet is somewhat premature in announcing the "death" of homeopathy, which involves a large and very profitable industry and the loyalty of many of the consumers it has duped. In fact, The Lancet notes, ""the debate continues, despite 150 years of unfavourable findings. The more dilute the evidence for homoeopathy becomes, the greater seems its popularity." But there are encouraging signs. The Swiss Government, after a five-year trial, has withdrawn insurance coverage for homeopathy. Even the U.S. National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine, which has been criticized for being too open to spurious alternative medicine claims, has little good to say abut homeopathy. Its website states, "Systematic reviews have not found homeopathy to be a definitively proven treatment of any medical condition." Now, The Lancet concludes, it's up to the doctors, who "need to be bold and honest with their patients about homeopathy's lack of benefit." For scientifically-literate physicians, that shouldn't be so difficult to do. Some embrace homeopathy as a treatment that won't cause any harm, since homeopathic
remedies are widely proclaimed to not have any side effects. However, such is
not the case. In July 2006 the New Zealand Herald published an Professor Nicholas White of the University of Oxford said: "This is very dangerous nonsense and needs to be stopped. The prescribing of homoeopathic remedies to prevent malaria is a reprehensible example of potentially lethal duplicity." Ron Behrens, director of the Hospital for Tropical Diseases Travel Clinic, said: "The misleading travel advice being given by homoeopaths is not a trivial problem. We have treated people at the Hospital for Tropical Diseases who thought they were protected by homoeopathic medicines and contracted malaria. The messages given by some homoeopaths are inaccurate, counter productive and place lives at risk." ... Peter Fisher, clinical director of the Royal London Homoeopathic Hospital said: "Malaria is a life threatening disease and there is no published evidence to support the use of homoeopathy in the prevention of malaria." Also, the UK Skeptics has this to say on Another danger lies in the fact that many homeopaths believe in what they call a "healing crisis". This is where a person who takes a remedy will actually get worse before getting better. This is put down to "toxins" being expelled from the body. Of course if someone is seriously ill and their condition is getting worse then they may not seek proper medical treatment as they put their declining physical state down to a healing crisis. Other medical problems have arisen when homeopathic treatments have not been diluted sufficiently to avoid side effects. In homeopathy, diseases are said to be caused by miasms, a "peculiar morbid derangement of [the] vital force". The vital force, or vitalism, is the Western equivalent of the Eastern qi, or life force. Being strongly occultic, this gives Christians in particular another reason to keep well clear of homeopathy. Wikipedia's article on The founder of homeopathy, Samuel Hahnemann, promoted an immaterial, vitalistic view of disease: "...they are solely spirit-like (dynamic) derangements of the spirit-like power (the vital principle) that animates the human body." [...] the view of disease as a dynamic disturbance of the immaterial and dynamic vital force is taught in many homeopathic colleges and constitutes a fundamental principle for many contemporary practising homeopaths. It is also interesting to note that in 1803 Hahnemann published a paper in which he proposed that most diseases are caused by coffee. Understandably that idea did not catch on, so he tried different angles (including in 1827 that most diseases are caused by Hooper, Jason. Hongzhi, Li. Li Hongzhi is the Chinese founder of New Age cult Falun Gong. Hope International. Seventh Day Adventist-based company/"health ministry". Publishes a newsletter called Kiwi Green, Health Researcher. Horoscopes. Hovind, Kent. On November 2, 2006, Hovind was found guilty by a jury in a Pensacola, Florida federal court of fifty-eight federal tax and tax-related offenses; his wife, Jo, was also convicted on 44 counts. On January 19, 2007, he was sentenced to 10 years in prison, three years of probation after his sentence is served, and $640,000 in restitution. He had been previously ordered to forfeit $430,400 and faced a maximum of 288 years. Notwithstanding the tax-related convictions, we have been informed that he believes salvation is through the blood of Christ alone and that the Bible is the infallible Word of God – good stuff. It's a pity that his religious beliefs apparently also led him to avoid paying taxes and to "not recognize the government's right to try him on tax-fraud charges" (Wikipedia). Howard-Browne,
Rodney.
