Cultist Versed in Fallacy
Parody of "Cult of Personality" performed by Living Colour and written by Corey Glover, Vernon Reid, Muzz Skillings & Will Calhoun
(Jude 1:3, Matthew 7:15, John 8:31-32, Galatians 1:8-9, 1 Peter 3:15, 2 Peter 2:1, 1 John 4:1-3, Acts 20:28-30, 2 Timothy 2:24-26, Romans 10:14)
Dear friends, although I was very eager to write to you about the salvation we share,
I felt compelled to write and urge you to contend for the faith that was once for all entrusted to God’s holy people [Jude 1:3 New International Version].
Books in my arms — what do you see?
A cultist versed in fallacy
A doorbell ringer — I'm on your street
I've been everyplace while you're asleep
Ho-oh - I'm a cultist versed in fallacy
Like most who meet me, I cannot see
I'm a cultist versed in fallacy
A cultist versed in fallacy
A cultist versed in fallacy
Neophytes don't smell lies
When there's clearer speech, the deception dies
You won't have to call on me
Show me truth and set me free
I seldom think through things I read
I espouse no faith in John 3:3
Ho-oh - I'm a cultist versed in fallacy
I'm next door to you — will you love me?
I'll tell you John 1:1 can't be
Ho-oh - I'm a cultist versed in fallacy
My clothes are spotless — I'm godly
Ho-oh - I'm a cultist versed in fallacy
A cultist versed in fallacy
A cultist versed in fallacy
Jesus Christ is noble and wise
And our leaders teach that He's our guide
You know that's just hollow speech
Show me truth that set you free
26 of the 27 New Testament books warn against false teachers or false teaching
You may be cautious — you may be tame
He gave you power in your God's name
I am a person you need to reach
Oh! I'm - a - cult - ist (I'm - a - cult - ist)
Versed - in - fall - acy (I'm - a - cult - ist)
I'm a cultist, I'm a cultist, I'm a cultist (I'm - a - cult - ist)
I'm a cultist, I'm a cultist, I'm a cultist (I'm - a - cult - ist)
I'm a cultist, I'm a cultist versed in fallacy
Ask God what He wants you to do and say!
The only thing we have to fear ... is keeping to ourselves!
Romans 10:14
How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them?
