Isaiah 59:13-15 (KJV)
[SUP]13 [/SUP]In transgressing and lying against the LORD, and departing away from our God, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and uttering from the heart words of falsehood.
[SUP]14 [/SUP]And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter.
[SUP]15 [/SUP]Yea, truth faileth; and he that departeth from evil maketh himself a prey: and the LORD saw it, and it displeased him that there was no judgment.
If something is falling away, then they had to be close to or attached to that which they are falling away from. In scripture it is clear, that the church is the closest to Christ Jesus and the Father than anything else. If one thinks it’s the way of the world, you have to consider that the world was never close enough to fall, because they’ve always been at the bottom. So the “falling away” pertains to the church only, if you can find logic in that. I can. So if the church is attached to the Word of God (the Bible), it must be related to falling away from the Word. How would, or could that ever happen?
Denying parts of scripture as no longer important, because of other Bible references seem to contradict previous scripture, and to deem some verses as higher in quality than others. When that happens, the church loses, or falls away from the truth. So one would have to say that the “falling away” is losing the truth.
Is it really happening? Are we laying the groundwork for the tribulation, because we have become apathetically numb to the whole truth? Do you agree, or do you disagree? Give examples of real instances that you have experienced if possible. I think the input will be revealing to those who are sincerely looking for the truth as it is today.
2 Thessalonians 2:3 (KJV)
[SUP]3 [/SUP]Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
