2 Thes Let no man deceive you by any means; for there shall come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work, and he it is who now worketh, and Christ suffereth him to work, until the time is fulfilled that he shall be taken out of the way.

8 And then shall that wicked one be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming.

9 Yea, the Lord, even Jesus, whose coming is not until after there cometh a falling away, by the working of Satan with all power, and signs and lying wonders,

The "great falling away" is already occurring. Church attendance/membership is at all time low in the U.S. More people than ever now claim to either be atheist or agnostic.

That is why there will be many deceived in the end times. The Bible does not say when Jesus will return....exactly..........but it does tell us the season. The things that will be happening as the end times approach. If many do not go to church.........or are exposed to those timeline predictions of the events to pre-empt the Return of Jesus....then yes many can be and will be deceived. If you do not know what to look for.......you are then free to believe anything that seems right to you. And that opens the door to many con men telling ears what they want to hear.............such as is so popular now with conspiracy theories on everything from how to cure a pandemic to some kind of Lizard People living in the Deep State, yadi, yadi......

The uninformed..........will be the deceived. And this too was predicted.........

"........for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it."

Jesus warned to not be deceived by Satan in the last days, because there will be a great falling away and many will be deceived, then Jesus will come shortly thereafter. We know the Bible is true because everything has come true, and please don't fall asleep from your faith.

I believe this because of my current situation. Satan is all the bad habits which takes all our loves away from us. I was blessed few days ago. Yet I made the mistake and I regret but I need a chance.

@littlepuppywantanewlife very true! Satan takes everything away!

A "subtle" attempt perhaps to call me "the man of sin".

For one who has only ever spoken of salvation by Grace it is all rather sad.

BritishFailedAesthetic · M

@SW-User Quit decieving people, we believe in salvation by grace too, you believe in universalism, there is a difference.

SW-User

@BritishFailedAesthetic In fact there is not. There is only one conclusion if we wish to have faith in both salvation by pure Grace (as the [b]causal basis[/b] of salvation) and in a God who IS Love.

@BritishFailedAesthetic And salvation by grave? A freudian slip?

😀

(In all probability my friend will now edit his original post and change "grave" to "grace")

So I know you and I don't agree on a lot of religious issues, but I feel like this is a good place to park this:

BritishFailedAesthetic · M

@LordShadowfire Some Christians are MAGA but only the false prophets teach Trump as Messiah/Prophet

LordShadowfire · M

@BritishFailedAesthetic Oh, absolutely. But you should see some of these folks. They really do behave like they're in a cult.
