Apostasy:

What is Apostasy?

1 Timothy 4:1 "...in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils",

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."

When will this Apostasy Occur?

2 Thessalonians 2:3 "...for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first..."

What "day" was Paul referring to?

2 Thessalonians 2:1 "...by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and our gathering together unto Him!"

2 Thessalonians 2:2 ...the day of Christ!"

How is this Final Apostasy Coming to Pass?

2 Thessalonians 2:11 "And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion"

Why will God send a Strong Delusion?

2 Thessalonians 2:10 "...because they receive not the love of the Truth, that they might be saved."

What will Play a Major Role in this Final Apostasy?

Deception!

2 Thessalonians 2:7 "For the mystery of iniquity doth already work...

1 John 2:8 "Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that anti-christ shall come, even now are there many antichrists; where by we know it is the last time."

All who Believe in Jesus are Children of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and are Born of God! All in the world today, Jew or Gentile who believe that Jesus is the Son of God, and trust alone in His finished work at Calvary for salvation, become heirs of God by faith!

Our salvation was paid in full by Jesus' one final sacrifice for sins!

"For He hath made Him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him." 2 Corinthians 5:21

"For all have sinned, and come short of the Glory of God." Romans 3:23

"In whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace." Ephesians 1:7

Only the shedding of Jesus' blood atones for our sins.

"But this man, after He had offered one sacrifice forever...." Hebrews 10:12

"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is a gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast."

Clay+Iron_Times,

I appreciate your response. I can see that you put quite a bit of time into it, and the formating looks very sharp. However, this post doesn't support the assertion that the Roman Catholic Church Apostatized. I can see the wonderful Scriptures that you have quoted, and note the words you underlined, but I am still left guessing at your intended meaning.

Can you clarify?
