THE APOSTACY OF THE CHURCH

Apostasy is the departure of the church from sound doctrine. There are several definitions of Apostasy.

    A. Webster defines Apostacy as renuciation of a religious faith
    defection away from.
    B. Theologically, if one turns away from the tenets of the faith
    that were previously held, to some other faith, or begins to
    tolerant other mixtures of doctrines that contradicts his or
    her former faith.Ordinarily this is usually a slow process.


Different religions and teachers have taught that this was a falling away from the church as in people leaving the church, which is erroneous teaching. There is nothing more that Satans ministers of light do than to twist the words of scripture. It is a leaving of the upright that the scriptures teaches, to a perversion of scripture. Through great swellings words many will be lead away, with the likes of good fiction writers. As we can see as in the Book of Thessalonians we can see the strong delusion as preached by Paul, whereas people would rather believe The Lie.
Remember after Each Covenant Man has Fallen

    1. God and Adam, Eve wanted to know as God did
    2. God unto Noah, The Tower of Babel rose to unite all
    3. Between God and Abraham, his seed degenerated into Egypt
    4. Israel and God, after 1st generation they forsook God for Baal
    5. Josiah to Judah renewed old covenant
    6. Jesus unto the Church at Passover


As when Josiah died after his great reforms, it was then the people cast His Law behind them. They were shortly carried into captivity. So the church will be in these latter days, as it apostasies away from God, going after another Gospel, another Jesus. So the false doctrines, taught by these false teachers, which eat at you, like a canker or gangrene. Lead those off captive who cease to crucify the flesh and go after the gain is godliness teachings, and those that place man ahead of God (idolaters). The true word of God will be so scarce that in Zechariah 8 it states that a mixed multitude will take hold of a Jew (not literal Jew, but one circumcised in the heart, not a physical Jew. But any individual who know the law of God). Remember it has been prophesied that in the last days there will be a famine of hearing the word of God. This can only come about by so many preaching something other than the word of God, but something in place of it. Remember (Anti) means instead of or in place of. So is Christianity preaching this other gospel instead of the real gospel?

An apostate church will always speak more about its members than about God, telling them how they must live in order to get to heaven. In these latter days we have the Mega-Churches with a form of godliness, but no power there of. They mostly exist just to glorify themselves, speak of how righteous they are, content with life here on earth if they can just get there people into government. If they achieve that, they then feel they can force morality upon the world, and legislate the laws as they interpret them. It sounds like the seduction that went about in the heavens when Satan assume to rule as he saw fit. Rare is the preacher who teaches sound doctrine, rather than social platitudes that are irrelevant to the Scriptures.
One of the dangers in apostasy is that it very often leads one into the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. This is because it is a heretical teaching that flies in the face of the truth. Apostate teaches doctrine that is not of God, thus it contradicts Gods word. Such teaching as that of Sunday worship, or Sunday is the day of the Lord contains to doctrinal errors. The daughter churches of the Great Whore or Harlot of Babylon in Revelations, has led to the apostasy of the Church as regards the fourth commandment. It is imperative not to be of many teachers because they receive the greater condemnation. They are the ones who can lead others to damnation. The Scriptures are continually harder on false prophets or teachers they on anyone else. The Apostle Paul constantly warn us of those who error away from the faith. They espouse other teaching and incorporate them into theirs; whatever is popular among one church becomes the norm for the rest. That is why the proclamation is made come out of her My people. It is God calling His people from heretical teachings of the end time false churches.
Beware of secular humanism and the teachings of it, and any of the new age movements which gets you involved in spiritualism instead of directly pointing you to Jesus Christ Himself. Remember, He said The Spirit will speak to you of the things I have told you. The Holy Spirit never draws attention to himself. Any teaching that divide you into different groups, or genders, you should guard your mind against. Paul said mark those who cause division among you. The relaxed atmosphere of a retreat or private getaway, with just us who can afford it or who are special, to receive some special anointing from God is a doctrine to guard your heart against. Throughout the new testament teaching we see were men of old ordained to condemnation were continually creeping into the church to pollute the teachings with the little leaven that leavens the whole lump. In Genesis in the time of Seth, it was soon after men began to call on the name of the Lord that all flesh corrupted their ways.


    6. Reading the book of Revelation, which offers a blessing just for the reading of it, shows and tells of the Apostacy of the Church. It seems as though each of the Church's had begun in the faith but slowly moved away from, or allowed something else to enter into the assembly. In it Our Lord Jesus is admonishing it, to come get back to the state in which He created it. The "mystery of iniquity" that had begun it's work in Paul's day had become rampant in the church. It had gone astray because of the false teachers, prophets, pastors and those that loved darkness rather than light. It had stop adhering to sound doctrine. This prominence is growing more as,evil men and seducers wax worse. Under the guise of Godly holidays the church has pulled into it's midst all types of trojan horses,i.e. (Christmas, Easter, New Years, All Saints Day, Worship of all manner of men and their birthdays, Super Bowl Sunday, singles night,get away seminars for divided parts of the church people[groups such as promise keepers]). All of these pagans days just as Sunday worship has been hijacked by the church, taken straight from pagan festivals. All contain idolatry, self adulation, and no glory given to God as the focal or center that brings man's thought into captivity unto him.All of this with a pretended zeal for God, while constantly building self up. The Apostle stated, that this "mystery of iniquity" had already begun to come about in his time. These "Angel's of Light" came in and are coming in as men of old ordained to this condemnation, creeping in unawares while the church as Peter was is fast asleep not discerning the will of God. The leaders are blind dogs that will not bark. The church is giving heed to these seducing spirits, building bigger barns eating and drinking as in the time of Noah, but remember Jesus stated in Luke 19:44 that they were held accountable for not knowing the time of His coming. Pride,ambition,and worldly interest of church pastors, board's of directors, deacons boards and elders, as was Diotrephes and others lead this Apostacy with money cometh, godliness is gain, you can and are entitled to everything the world has, give me more (prayer of Jabez)all are prevalent in this Great Whore of Babylon church of today in which God pleads with His people to come Out of Her. The Western churches leads this Apostacy,with it's capitalism (distribution of fortunes). The sale of tapes, television time, records, music,movies, noveltity items and books are the sources of the largest market for filthy lucre. They use the name of Jesus like a condiment, just say Jesus or tag His name to it and that makes it christian. They kill in His name, take from the poor and widows in His name, they even are uniting the beast(government) in His name. We all know what a religous governmental ruling system does (think babylon, the inquisition, the crusades) no one the founding fathers where so adamant about separation of state from religion. The church leaders and politicians today or "Men of Renown" as the bible calls them have more people following them rather than Jesus, but He did say that they would come in His name drawing followers after them. All a leader or popular (familiar spirit) has to do is say with the lips, not heart or geniue born again spirit manifestation that they known Jesus, shortly there after the money and people follow who love darkest rather than light. Which has lead to compromise and toleration in the church all for the sake of unity, let just all get along.
