John 14:23-24 Jesus said: If a man love me, he will keep MY words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
He that loveth me not keepeth not MY sayings:
*****
Jesus' words:
Matthew 5:32 But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery:
and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.
and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.
I Corinthians 7:10-11 Let not the wife depart from her husband: But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife.

Many say they love God. Many say "Jesus is Lord."
But by their actions they deny Jesus, The Lord.
We need to line our actions up with the Bible, setting us in a good position for the return of Jesus, for many in the church today explain away the scriptures by their doctrines and by such they set themselves in the path of the wrath of God through the end-time apostasy in the churches, told us in the following:
II Thessalonians 2 NASB Let no one in any way deceive you, for it (the day of the Lord) will not come unless the apostasy comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, who opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, displaying himself as being God. Do you not remember that while I was still with you, I was telling you these things? And you know what restrains him now, so that in his time he will be revealed. For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only he who now restrains will do so until he is taken out of the way. Then that lawless one will be revealed whom the Lord will slay with the breath of His mouth and bring to an end by the appearance of His coming;
The scriptures restrained antichrist and kept lawlessness out of the church. When portions of scripture was removed, then the restraint holding antichrist back from the church was removed.
Thus the churches changed the doctrine.
For example: At one time the church doctrine was this: If the man marries a divorced woman he commits adultery. This doctrine agreed with what Jesus said in Matthew 5:32 and Matthew 19. Therefore this is the true doctrine of Christ.
Then men brought in another doctrine saying it was okay for a man to marry a divorced woman, explaining away the doctrine of Christ, and allowing lawlessness concerning that subject to enter the church group.
Finally they stopped speaking of this subject at all.
(I've been in the church since 1975 and have never heard Mt. 5:32 taught in any church I have ever attended.)
The changing of doctrine this way has taken place concerning many scriptures in the church which set up the doctrine of Christ.
The changing of doctrine in the church sets up the return of Jesus and the wrath of God that is coming upon the world and upon the apostate church groups.
Certainly we do not want to be a part of this apostate church.
Therefore the message to us is cling to those scriptures which have been explained away and completely eliminated. Agree with the scriptures. Come out of those groups which teach another doctrine.
