The mystery religions earned their title due to the secretive initiation rites that new members underwent.
In doing so, they obtained secret knowledge that was only made available to the initiates.
The priest would then use these sins as leverage against the initiate should he step out of line.
Confessional booths were common occurrences in Babylon, where undoubtedly the mystery religions began.
Once initiated, these members were part of a brotherhood over whom was placed a pontiff or high priest whose word was law.
Any religion outside of true Christianity falls into the category of a mystery religion, as ultimately they all lead people to damnation.
Mystery Babylon is a stridency of confusion, offering many false paths to salvation.
Some of the epistles were written to counter these false teachings, such as the Gnostics in 1 John 4:2 and the Nicolaitans in Revelation 2:15, that had already begun to creep into the early church.
Jesus also warned of these apostates in Matthew 7:15-16, "Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves.
You will know them by their fruits." A wolf has no mercy, devouring its prey with no hesitation, and being wrapped in sheep's clothing makes these false teachers all the more dangerous.
And only by knowing the doctrines of the Bible and the inerrant truth held therein can we seek to avoid deception in these last critical days.
I always taught in the synagogues and in the temple where all the Jews came together, and I spoke nothing in secret," John 18:20.
Christ preached an exclusive gospel, meaning that those who reject him are excluded from the kingdom of God.
However, ecumenism encapsulates the modern mystery religions cloaked in secrecy or esoteric knowledge.
Mystery religions house both esoteric, meaning secret, and exoteric, meaning common, knowledge, preaching an inclusive message and claiming that all paths lead to the summit of salvation's mountain.
Initiates often took a vow of secrecy to their own detriment, and they have flourished in Syria, Persia, Anatolia, Egypt, Greece, and Rome.
These false religions provided fierce competition with true Christianity in its formative years, and so they do so today.
The dogma of mystery religions falls under the category of another gospel pointing toward another Jesus, which we are warned about in Scripture in 2 Corinthians 11:4 and Galatians 1:6.
