πŸ’₯ Rise and fall of churches, nations, individuals ... Why they fall often as they get bigger! To get bigger they often sin and compromise integrity of the Word.

 
Matthew 4:4  Jesus says:  Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

Every word:

(Comments by Joan Boney)

Have you ever heard this Word from God spoken at any church you have attended?

The man who marries a divorced woman commits adultery?

I'm 86 years old.  I have attended several different churches.  I've never heard this taught at any church I've attended.

Yet Jesus spoke this and it is recorded for us in the book of Matthew twice.

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.

Matthew 19:9  And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.

This is just one example of churches and people "falling away" from scriptures and setting up other doctrines which are opposite from Bible to please people and to draw people to their churches.

For if they speak certain scripture people will leave the church group.  But if they omit scriptures that offend those who are going in a way opposite to scripture, they will come to church for the church will show they are approved by them even when they go opposite to scripture.

And they will give money!

Apparently churches used to teach this but "fell away" from this scripture and stopped teaching this.  (antichrist:  the "falling away" of churches from scripture in the end times)

The apostle Paul told us that before Jesus returns, there would come a "falling away":

2 Thessalonians 2:3-4  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.

In 1982, I was reading the above scripture and God said to me:  "The 'falling away' are not people leaving the churches ... The 'falling away' are the churches leaving the scriptures.  This is antichrist in the churches."

When Jesus returns, HE will destroy the people who fall away from scripture in the churches and set up doctrines opposite to the doctrines of Christ in the Bible.

2 Thessalonians 2:8-12

8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of HIS mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of HIS coming:

9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,

10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:

12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

Fall of churches, nations of men, and individuals:

* Failure to love truth.

Ephesians 4:21  If so be that ye have heard HIM, and have been taught by HIM, as the truth is in Jesus:  (the Word)

John 8:31-32  Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on HIM, If ye continue in MY word, then are ye MY disciples indeed;  32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

Decades ago, people came to the new World, the United States of America, for a better life.  Many came to worship God without persecution.  

In schools, often they taught their children to read so they could read the Bible.

In the early days, morality of USA was even set up to fit parts of the Bible, even if the person was not a born again Christian.

By the time WWI and WWII started, many young men who fought for USA had integrity founded by some of the Bible.

Homosexuals and lesbians were thought wrong, as taught by the Bible.

Romans 1:22-28  (What the Bible says about homosexuals and lesbians)

22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.

24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:

25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:

27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

28 And even as they did not like to retain God (the Word of God in the Holy Bible) in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

(Even churches fell away from these scriptures and began to teach opposite to scripture.  antichrist)


In England it was considered to be adultery for a man to marry a divorced woman.

The King of England in 1936 wanted to marry a divorced woman.  At that time she was still married to a second husband.  The laws of the church of England would not permit a man to marry a divorced woman.  The people of England would not approve their king in marriage to a divorced woman.  

Edward said he could not be king and do his work without the woman he loved beside him.  So they set up an "instrument of abdication"  whereby Edward could give up being king and marry Mrs. Simpson, after she divorced husband number 2.  This is what Edward did on December 11, 1936, allowing his younger brother to become King of England.

Some time after 1936, the people of England and government of England "fell away" from this thinking.  

In the age of Victoria (1819-1901), England was one of the greatest nations in this world.  They stood for "right" and "justice", though they ruled other countries such as India.  Often their thinking was according to various scriptures ... but they "fell away" from this thinking along the years.  

In WWI they were still a major nation.  In WWII they were a little weaker.  After WWII the United States and Russia were the 2 major nations.

God raises up instruments of destruction to cause the fall of nations and individuals.

Today integrity among political figures in USA has lost much of the doctrines established in the founding of America when Bible was much of a basis and consideration of such things as adultery and homosexual-lesbian and they have moved to "more modern" thinking and the scriptures removed.  

Today many religions are upheld in USA.  It has become a much weaker nation of men and has fallen away from much of the Bible. 

Even Christian churches have fallen away from many scriptures which were once upheld.  "The falling away from doctrines of Christ and the setting up of doctrines of anti-christ, opposite to Bible."

It is like pouring water into wine ... integrity grows weak and eventually even vanishes. 

Truth ... judgment ... justice ... morality of Bible ... are all affected and soon God will cause something to rise up, an instrument of destruction, and the weakening we see today will be worse and worse.  This is how people and churches, and nations reap destruction upon themselves.  They "fall away from truth ... judgment ... justice ... morality of Bible ... 

When it starts inside the person who is Christian, it is usually the downfall of that person.  When scripture no longer matters and becomes a little thing and "old fashioned" in their thinking, it is usually over.

Matthew 24:12-13  Jesus says:  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.

Jesus says:  Few will find the way of life.

Matthew 7:13-14 

13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:

14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

I'm trying to evaluate some of the things I'm doing and stop doing those unnecessary things that cause me to be needlessly troubled!

Save yourself from this untoward generation ... (Acts 2:40)

Acts 2  (God says:)

21 And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke:

20 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come:

21 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.

Some think they can change the evil and turn nations back to God and they end up being wicked themselves as they fight the evil and fall away from the scripture which is truth.

God showed me that antichrist was "ordained" to move into the churches and the "falling away" from scripture was ordained to happen.  (2 Thessalonians 2)

When I saw this and understood, I just left them alone and separated myself from antichrist.

2 Timothy 3

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 (homosexuals, lesbians, and mother's killing their own unborn children), 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.

They often join a church and attend a church, but will not do scripture.

13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.

14 But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of WHOM thou hast learned them;  (God taught me this by HIS Word)

15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
