The current end-time message to the church before Jesus returns

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... 

 

We are living in the time Paul spoke of in II Thessalonians 2:3-4 where Paul said this had to happen before Jesus returns.

 

A falling away would first happen.  Churches would fall away from scripture to set up other doctrines.

 

Because of the removal of scripture, antichrist moved into the church groups.  The scripture was the only thing holding antichrist back.

 

We are witnessing the apostasy in the churches now as Paul said we would do in the last days before Jesus' return.

II Thessalonians 2  (KJV)

 

3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day (of the Lord) shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

 

(Churches would fall away from scripture and set up opposite doctrines:  The removal of portions of scripture allows antichrist to surface in the church groups.)

 

4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

 

Here is one scripture that has been discarded in the churches today:

 

I Corinthians 7:10-11  And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband: But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife.

Serious penalty on these churches that remove scripture or add religious things to their church services which are not prescribed for the gathering of the church in the New Testament Bible.

 

II Thessalonians 2

 

10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

 

11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:

 

12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness

 

(NASB)   The falling away is called "the apostasy" in the NASB.  II Thessalonians 2:3-4

 

apostasy: The abandonment or renunciation of a religious belief.  Many doctrines of the New Testament have been discarded in today's churches.

 

See:

 

* Romans 1:24-27  / Concerning homosexuals and lesbians

 

* Titus 1 / Requirements for elders in the churches  (elders are also called bishops)

 

* I Timothy 4 / Doctrines of devils and seducing spirits would be set up in the end time churches forbidding their ministers to marry and commanding the people to abstain from meats

 

* Matthew 5:32; Mark 10; I Corinthians 7:10-11 / When remarriage after divorce is adultery

 

* I Corinthians 14:16 / The gathering of the churches today has been changed from this instruction of the New Testament Bible

 

* John 14:26; John 16:13; I Corinthians 12; Romans 12 / Many churches today deny the entire body of scripture concerning the working of the Holy Spirit in the church and the gifts of the Holy Spirit.

 

Their ministers call themselves "Reverend" (in the Bible only God is referred to as Reverend, Psalm 111:9).  And they dress themselves in garments thought to be religious which are not set forth for ministers to wear in New Testament Bible.

 

Things are added to their meetings which are not in New Testament Bible such as:  wooden and stone crosses and graven images, pictures of men in long robes which represent spiritual symbols not in New Testament Bible; lighting of candles in religious context not in New Testament Bible.

 

It is before our eyes today and each of us have New Testament Bibles and therefore we will be held accountable for those things added to the churches and those doctrines which are removed today.

 

This is the end time apostasy in the churches today.

Ephesians 4:8, 11-12   Wherefore HE (Jesus) saith, When HE ascended up on high, HE led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.

 

11 And HE gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;  12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
