CORRUPTION OF THE CHURCH AND FAITH

Greetings in Christ JESUS, Alex
Very interesting post

2 Timothy 3:1-5

1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.

2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,

4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;

5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

And JESUS warned: Matthew 24:10-14

10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.

11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.

12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.

13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

Facing to the very sad scenary so well described above by you, actually it's an uncomfortable and undesirable environment for GOD's people, especially to the faithful believers in JESUS.
Analysing deeply the devilish scenary within churches, many are dead completelly, and sects, we MUST discern by the Word of GOD that this devilish operation of apostasy is being caused by the TAIL of the red Dragon-Revelation 12:4- and prophesied by Isaiah 9:15-16. take a look.

The Church of the Lord, His body, especially the faithful believers in JESUS, those which received Him, and unto them He gave power to become the sons of GOD, even to them that believe on His Name, they must manifest their Judgment and fight against the works of Devil.-Daniel 7:26-27

Timothy 2:19 says: 19 Nevertheless the foundation of GOD standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are His. And, let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. Paul in his epistle to the Church of Ephesus, said: Ephesians 1:3-8:

3 Blessed be the GOD and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:

4 According as He hath chosen us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love:

5 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will,

6 To the praise of the glory of His grace, wherein He hath made us accepted in the beloved.

7 In whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace;

8 Wherein He hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence;

The Lord has always warned and advised us to remain firm unto the END, to be firm in Him until the end. Matthew 24:10-14

Yes, as says Hebrews 11:3-10
3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the Word of GOD, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.

4 By faith Abel offered unto GOD a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, GOD testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh.

5 By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because GOD had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased GOD.

6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to GOD must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

7 By faith Noah, being warned of GOD of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.

8 By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went.

9 By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise:

10 For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is GOD.

GOD BLESS
