What you have not done is led an insurrection against Hillary and her ilk. Just kidding. That insurrection -- a real insurrection -- was badly needed, but there were no leaders to lead it and make it work.
Healthy examples
17 Brethren, be ye imitators together of me, and mark them that so walk even as ye have us for an ensample.
There is no reason to be confused, we have healthy examples, we have Paul, Jesus, and the apostles. Imitate them.
18 For many walk, of whom I told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ:
The fundamental principle of the apostasy is that they are enemies of the cross of Christ. I was with the Gideons and we were handing out New Testaments outside of a middle school. I went in as a courtesy to the Principal to advise her before we started that we would be on the sidewalk. Immediately there were two women haranguing me, "do you have to" and then they even said "no, you cannot, we don't give you permission". I responded that I wasn't asking permission, at which point they went ballistic and told me to get out of the office. After that they were screaming and yelling at the children to not take New Testaments from us. Even so 45 children did. But we definitely have "enemies of the cross".
19 whose end is perdition, whose god is the belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.
Prosperity gospel = their god is their belly
Once Saved always saved --> has become a shameful doctrine that ignores sin and dealing with sin. To have the assurance of salvation is far different than telling people because they prayed a prayer twenty years ago they don't have to worry about their conscience condemning them for sin.
Dominion theology = minding earthly things. This is the doctrine that justifies the church becoming a political organization.
20 For our citizenship is in heaven; whence also we wait for a Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ
