Why would Jesus and his band of rough country men not be considered a cult, according the "logic" in the article?

I totally agree with the others that the answer to this question is: Because Jesus was the Christ and he was God. Otherwise, yes, Jesus' ministry should indeed be considered a cult. There is only one alternative: Either Jesus was a charlatan, or he was God (the so-called "Christological argument" used by CS Lewis or McDowell).

The problem with UBF leaders is that they are not God, but charlatans, as Nick once called them. They claim and usurp authority (like determining marriage partners or telling others the "will of God" etc) that never was given to them by God.
