2nd Thessalonians 2:8 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.
The corrosive forces spoken of earlier also include the proliferation of many versions of the Bible, to the tune of over 450 versions in English alone, some with subtle twists, and turns that shave off portions of truth, or otherwise may distort them, so that their true meaning could become shrouded in darkness. Relativism also removes absolute truth, and causes right, and wrong to be subjective, meaning that the individual, not the word of God, determines what is right or wrong.
Thus, morals change within time and space, from person to person, wherever you go. What is wrong in France, may be right in the United States and what is acceptable in Great Britain might be anathema in some Middle eastern countries, and the problem doesn’t stop there. Thus, you now have a maze of dueling morals, and standards across the globe, which inevitably cause right and wrong to be fluid.
It also pervades all of the churches across the land, because when you look at what Southern Baptists stand for, in comparison with the United Methodist church, you will discover many great variations and interpretations of the very same Bible. Even within the remnant church, grave, and serious deviations from the straight truth are beginning to pop up, and as a result, fractures in understanding doctrines are now beginning to appear. Some of our churches in California, are widely different in their interpretation and practice than are others in more conservative states.
Judges 17:6 In those days there was no king in Israel, but every man did that which was right in his own eyes.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
