The Apostle Paul gave watchful Christians two of the biggest signs of the imminent return of Jesus Christ to earth in 2 Thessalonians 2. First, he talked of a great "apostasy" or "falling away" of Christians from the true faith. He did not say that people would be irreligious or non-spiritual, but that they would "apostatize", not enduring sound doctrine. In other words, maintaining their Christianity, but not faithfully. These deceived kids believe they are boldly standing for truth and love, yet what they are proclaiming is their hatred and intolerance for truth and love. For who loves the unsaved more than Jesus Christ who died for sinners? Yet it was Jesus and His disciples that proclaimed the sins that these kids are defending are exclusionary sins sending people to hell.

I weep for these children. They are merely parroting what their false Christian teachers and leaders like Pope Francis, Rick Warren, Joel Osteen, and countless others have taught them. Pray for these kids, because it is the second sign that the Apostle Paul gave watchful Christians whom they are and will follow when he is revealed to the world...

2 Thessalonians 2:3 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; 4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them.

True and False Disciples
21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ 23 Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’

2 Timothy 4:3-4 applies.

Don’t care how “viral” it goes, if it is a lie, then it is wicked.

I got called “hateful” and “not Christian” by my sodomite accepting Mother-in-law today for declaring that sodomy is abominable (Leviticus 18:22)

What about the “LOVE”?....you have no “LOVE”.....

A lot of CINO’s are going to find out that they aren’t really Christian pretty soon IMHO.

Because it’s a BuzzFeed produced video, none of the content surprises me.

“this is a propaganda piece for a version of Christianity that is Christian in name only–a progressivist vision of the faith that has more to do with maintaining street-cred with Christianity’s cultured despisers than with the faith once for all delivered to the saints”

A good definition of Pope Francis. He seems more interested
in appeasing the “despisers” rather than people of faith
and God himself.

Through the years I’ve heard people say

“I’m a Christian but”

“I’m a Christian but”

“I’m a Christian but”

I’ve heard it so much, I truly believe those people are exactly that..... A CHRISTIAN BUT.

ie. the tail end of Christianity.

Do you understand what “imminent” means?

2Thessalonians declared that there were things that must happen first, thus it declared that the gathering of the saints could not possibly be imminent until those things, none of which have happened yet, had happened.

Obviously, the gathering of the saints has never been imminent.
