The Great Apostasy!

2 Thessalonians 2:7 For the mystery of lawlessness already works. Only there is one who restrains now, until he is taken out of the way.

The mystery of the so called great apostasy that humankind is still struggling with after thousands of years of religious indoctrination can be summated in its whole as Christian's leaving the Christ for the world.

Here stated below is the bibles description of the world and its daily conduct that the majority of Christian’s become:

2Tim. 3:1 But know this, that in the last days, grievous times will come. 3:2 For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3:3 without natural affection, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, no lovers of good, 3:4 traitors, headstrong, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God;
3:5 holding a form of godliness, but having denied the power thereof. Turn away from these, also. 3:6 For of these are those who creep into houses, and take captive gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts, 3:7 always learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
3:8 Even as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so do these also oppose the truth; men corrupted in mind, reprobate concerning the faith.

Yes, that is right, Christian’s that set out to incorporate Christ Kingdom into our world. We should take this very simple truth which has been convoluted into massive lawless world wide counterfeit kingdom repersentives of confusion very seriously. (Called Babylon the Great)

Revelation 17:5 And on her forehead a name was written, "MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF THE PROSTITUTES AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH."

We need not study hidden books, or listen to some important person, or prophet unraveling the man of lawlessness, and/or the book of Revelation for us.

1 John 2:27 As for you, the anointing which you received from him remains in you, and you don't need for anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is no lie, and even as it taught you, you will remain in him.

This turning back to the world and then incorporating those ways into the teachings of Christ are synonymous with Christ parables of the wheat and weeds, and the yeast that corrupts Christ kingdom representatives on earth into nothing more than this worlds organizations of government, religion and commerce.

Moreover, as Christ stated those worldly Christian’s would be strong and vibrant until the end of our world. Then and only then Christ send forth his holy angels to take true wheat Christian’s out of the world wide weed patch.

Matthew 13:39 The enemy who sowed them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are angels.

Matthew 13:41 The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will gather out of his Kingdom all things that cause stumbling, and those who do iniquity,

Matthew 13:49 So will it be in the end of the world. The angels will come forth, and separate the wicked from among the righteous,

Matthew 16:27 For the Son of Man will come in the glory of his Father with his angels, and then he will render to everyone according to his deeds.

This is depicted in the book of Revelation as the sealing of that wheat class and then the letting loose of the destructive four winds that will bring the destruction of false religion, Babylon the Great and ends all governments described as beast by Christ the lamb of God.

Matt. 13:36 Then Jesus sent the multitudes away, and went into the house. His disciples came to him, saying, "Explain to us the parable of the darnel weeds of the field."
13:37 He answered them, "He who sows the good seed is the Son of Man, 13:38 the field is the world; and the good seed, these are the children of the Kingdom; and the darnel weeds are the children of the evil one. 13:39 The enemy who sowed them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are angels. 13:40 As therefore the darnel weeds are gathered up and burned with fire; so will it be at the end of this age.
13:41 The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will gather out of his Kingdom all things that cause stumbling, and those who do iniquity, 13:42 and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be weeping and the gnashing of teeth.
13:43 Then the righteous will shine forth like the sun in the Kingdom of their Father. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.

Matt.13:33 He spoke another parable to them. "The Kingdom of Heaven is like yeast, which a woman took, and hid in three measures{literally, three sata. 3 sata is about 39 litres or a bit more than a bushel} of meal, until it was all leavened."

Rev. 7:1 After this, I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, so that no wind would blow on the earth, or on the sea, or on any tree.
7:2 I saw another angel ascend from the sunrise, having the seal of the living God. He cried with a loud voice to the four angels to whom it was given to harm the earth and the sea,
7:3 saying, "Don't harm the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, until we have sealed the bondservants of our God on their foreheads!"

But the Key to Understanding the great apostasy is but one thing; our not being part of this world!

Luke17:27 They ate, they drank, they married, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ship, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.
17:28 Likewise, even as it happened in the days of Lot: they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built;
17:29 but in the day that Lot went out from Sodom, it rained fire and sulfur from the sky, and destroyed them all.
17:30 It will be the same way in the day that the Son of Man is revealed.

Christ was NO PART OF THIS WORLD, plain and simple, and those wanting and loving the world were no part of him, which is equally plain and simple. The bible could not be clearer on this subject front cover to back cover.

John 17:6 I revealed your name to the people whom you have given me out of the world. They were yours, and you have given them to me. They have kept your word.

John 17:14 I have given them your word. The world hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

If you seek an intellectual answer from research, or something more than the simple plain truth you are the world. Getting an intellectual explanation is how people excuse what is right and what is wrong. Its how they twist plain truth into something they lust for in their heart in this life that is part of this world.

Jer. 17:9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and it is exceedingly corrupt: who can know it?
17:10 I, Yahweh, search the mind, I try the heart, even to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his doings.

Jesus Christ that all Christian’s should in, and a part of his body exist in heaven he has no desires for this world not in the least bit. In fact, we are assured this truth in a promise from God YHWH himself about the eternal living condition of his new heavens, let really listen to God’s word is telling us here:

Rev.21:3 I heard a loud voice out of heaven saying, "Behold, God's dwelling is with people, and he will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God.
21:4 He will wipe away from them every tear from their eyes. Death will be no more; neither will there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain, any more. The first things have passed away."
21:5 He who sits on the throne said, "Behold, I am making all things new." He said, "Write, for these words of God are faithful and true."

Any reasonable person that loves the truth can quickly see that nothing of this corrupt world exist in God’s new heavens that will also produce a new earth. Furthermore, the distance between what is light and darkness is so great that only humankind could mixes sin, death and corruption into it by earthly governments, kingdoms, religions, and commerce and then be so presumptuous from the desires of their own corrupt hearts to claim that God build their human projects with corruptible things which is the human heart under sin!

1 Corinthians 15:50 Now I say this, brothers,{The word for "brothers" here and where context allows may also be correctly translated "brothers and sisters" or "siblings."} that flesh and blood can't inherit the Kingdom of God; neither does corruption inherit incorruption.

Galatians 6:8 For he who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption. But he who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.

2 Peter 1:4 by which he has granted to us his precious and exceedingly great promises; that through these you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world by lust.

2 Peter 2:19 promising them liberty, while they themselves are bondservants of corruption; for a man is brought into bondage by whoever overcomes him.

Remember Lot’s wife. 33. Whoever seeks to preserve his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life will keep it.

This deception is very great, but it is nothing more than the desire of our flesh for this world. Remember this simple truth the flesh created from sin, that is, by Adam and Eve disobeying God - is the world. So when you read in your bible about the flesh it is, and means the world. For without flesh in sin this world system of things would not be, nor could this world be lead and mislead by corrupt wicked spirit force in heavenly places.

Ephesians 6:12 For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world's rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.

Revelation 16:14 for they are spirits of demons, performing signs; which go forth to the kings of the whole inhabited earth, to gather them together for the war of that great day of God, the Almighty.

Revelation 18:2 He cried with a mighty voice, saying, "Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great, and she has become a habitation of demons, a prison of every unclean spirit, and a prison of every unclean and hateful bird!

That statement is why it is the natural course/actions that human always corrupt everything they touch into more and more corruption. The truth about human corruption is that they can take one sentence out of the bible and build it into something so contrary to its original meaning within 100-year you would have nations marching into war to defend the untruth.

That should be a given understanding for any Christian’s to know the very nature of sin in all human's. None of us are above being lead and mislead by what we want, hear, read, think because of our deceitful heart, which is why the world is built from wants of human hearts and we all have one, and that its why the world exist to day we built it from our desires.

1 Peter 4:3 For we have spent enough of our past time doing the desire of the Gentiles, and having walked in lewdness, lusts, drunken binges, orgies, carousings, and abominable idolatries.

Galatians 5:17 For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, that you may not do the things that you desire.

Galatians 5:18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
5:19 Now the works of the flesh are obvious, which are: adultery, sexual immorality, uncleanness, lustfulness,
5:20 idolatry, sorcery, hatred, strife, jealousies, outbursts of anger, rivalries, divisions, heresies,
5:21 envyings, murders, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these; of which I forewarn you, even as I also forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit the Kingdom of God. 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith,{or, faithfulness}
5:23 gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law. 5:24 Those who belong to Christ have crucified the flesh with its passions and lusts. 5:25 If we live by the Spirit, let's also walk by the Spirit.

1 John 2:15 Don't love the world, neither the things that are in the world. If anyone loves the world, the Father's love isn't in him. 2:16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, isn't the Father's, but is the world's. 2:17 The world is passing away with its lusts, but he who does God's will remains forever.

Defining Truth of Spirit from Corruption of the Flesh

Early Christian’s after the out pouring of the Holy Spirit, that is, the most pure form of truth one can have on earth in a corrupt flesh, the Holy Spirit; was to lead all Christian’s into all truth. But not the truth counterfeit weed Christian’s think, that is, worldly fleshly Christian’s.

1 John 5:6 This is he who came by water and blood, Jesus Christ; not with the water only, but with the water and the blood. It is the Spirit who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth.

The demarcation the truth revealed by the Holy Spirit was between light and darkness. In other words, what is of the corrupt flesh and the Spirit of God, what is of this world and what is of God; not the digging into every untruth created by Satan and wicked spirit force in conspiracy and biblical prophecy produced from worldly yeast Christian’s that are corrupted in their teachings.

Luke 13:21 It is like yeast, which a woman took and hid in three measures{literally, three sata. 3 sata is about 39 litres or a bit more than a bushel} of flour, until it was all leavened."

1 Corinthians 5:6 Your boasting is not good. Don't you know that a little yeast leavens the whole lump?

1 Corinthians 5:7 Purge out the old yeast, that you may be a new lump, even as you are unleavened. For indeed Christ, our Passover, has been sacrificed in our place.

1 Corinthians 5:8 Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old yeast, neither with the yeast of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

Galatians 5:9 A little yeast grows through the whole lump.

James 4:4 You adulterers and adulteresses, don't you know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.

That demarcation was between light and darkness made by the Holy Spirit for those in Christ. But is in short order as Christ had said to his apostles by parable that corruption of this world would over take his true children teachings.

The yeast and weeds started when Christian’s wanting the wisdom and praise from the world, but why?

2 Thessalonians 2:7 For the mystery of lawlessness already works. Only there is one who restrains now, until he is taken out of the way.

1 John 3:4 Everyone who sins also commits lawlessness. Sin is lawlessness.

The man of lawlessness, the weeds, and yeast had started before the apostles died off the earth. Remembering once again the nature of sin in us, and that our sinful flesh was not created by God, but from the ruler or this world that caused rebellion against God for his own world rulership.

1 Corinthians 2:6 We speak wisdom, however, among those who are full grown; yet a wisdom not of this world, nor of the rulers of this world, who are coming to nothing.

1 Corinthians 2:8 which none of the rulers of this world has known. For had they known it, they wouldn't have crucified the Lord of glory.

Ephesians 6:12 For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world's rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.

1 John 5:19 We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.

Here again is the simple truth; they like Christ were no part of this world. In fact, we are told they weren’t even known by this world, like Christ wasn’t known by this world.

1 John 3:1 Behold, how great a love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! For this cause the world doesn't know us, because it didn't know him.

1 John 3:13 Don't be surprised, my brothers, if the world hates you.

Simply, put they didn’t receive any praise from this world, because they were not part of this world. Thus, they weren’t any good to this world to glorify the ruler of this world, Satan the Devil. And because they didn’t benefit the world the world hated them as scum of this world; dead beats to getting involved in world affairs to make it a better world.

Now that not popular to Christian’s at all, because within just a few years this being no part of the world was really a pain in the ass. The question is did they want God’s Kingdom in Christ Jesus as being not known by this world and hated by it more than the praise of this world? Well, no, but they didn’t want to openly denying Christ, rather they would adulterate Christ words into condoning their worldly ways.

Hence, the yeast teachings started by mixing what is of sin for the flesh into the unleavened bread of God Christ Jesus which is from above that removes the corruption of the flesh by putting it to death in Christ Spirit life!

1Cor.3:1 Brothers, I couldn't speak to you as to spiritual, but as to fleshly, as to babies in Christ.
3:2 I fed you with milk, not with meat; for you weren't yet ready. Indeed, not even now are you ready,
3:3 for you are still fleshly. For insofar as there is jealousy, strife, and factions among you, aren't you fleshly, and don't you walk in the ways of men?
3:4 For when one says, "I follow Paul," and another, "I follow Apollos," aren't you fleshly?
3:5 Who then is Apollos, and who is Paul, but servants through whom you believed; and each as the Lord gave to him?
3:6 I planted. Apollos watered. But God gave the increase.
3:7 So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase.

So the nature of sin in us does just what it does it takes truth and digest it into something called yeast, leavened bread that taste better than unleavened bread of Christ.

1Cor. 3:11 For no one can lay any other foundation than that which has been laid, which is Jesus Christ.
3:12 But if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay, or stubble;
3:13 each man's work will be revealed. For the Day will declare it, because it is revealed in fire; and the fire itself will test what sort of work each man's work is.
3:14 If any man's work remains which he built on it, he will receive a reward.
3:15 If any man's work is burned, he will suffer loss, but he himself will be saved, but as through fire.
3:16 Don't you know that you are a temple of God, and that God's Spirit lives in you?
3:17 If anyone destroys the temple of God, God will destroy him; for God's temple is holy, which you are.
3:18 Let no one deceive himself. If anyone thinks that he is wise among you in this world, let him become a fool, that he may become wise.
3:19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, "He has taken the wise in their craftiness."{Job 5:13}
3:20 And again, "The Lord knows the reasoning of the wise, that it is worthless."{Psalm 94:11}
3:21 Therefore let no one boast in men. For all things are yours, 3:22 whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come. All are yours,
3:23 and you are Christ's, and Christ is God's.

So for them to get the glory of men, that is, their praise and the things of this world it was easy. Just put spirit words into fleshly hearts and minds and it would produce by its nature the world, that is, put God’s word mixed into corruption is yeast!

1Cor.2:4 My speech and my preaching were not in persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power,
2:5 that your faith wouldn't stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
2:6 We speak wisdom, however, among those who are full grown; yet a wisdom not of this world, nor of the rulers of this world, who are coming to nothing.
2:7 But we speak God's wisdom in a mystery, the wisdom that has been hidden, which God foreordained before the worlds for our glory,
2:8 which none of the rulers of this world has known. For had they known it, they wouldn't have crucified the Lord of glory.
2:9 But as it is written, "Things which an eye didn't see, and an ear didn't hear, which didn't enter into the heart of man, these God has prepared for those who love him."{Isaiah 64:4}
2:10 But to us, God revealed them through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.
2:11 For who among men knows the things of a man, except the spirit of the man, which is in him? Even so, no one knows the things of God, except God's Spirit.
2:12 But we received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is from God, that we might know the things that were freely given to us by God.
2:13 Which things also we speak, not in words which man's wisdom teaches, but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual things.
2:14 Now the natural man doesn't receive the things of God's Spirit, for they are foolishness to him, and he can't know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
2:15 But he who is spiritual discerns all things, and he himself is judged by no one.
2:16 "For who has known the mind of the Lord, that he should instruct him?"{Isaiah 40:13} But we have Christ's mind.

The Blind leading the Blind!

Matthew 15:14 Leave them alone. They are blind guides of the blind. If the blind guide the blind, both will fall into a pit."

So here is the fetal flaw the death stroke for all of us. How do we get the desire of our heart without compromising? We must use our own conscience, right? The touch stone to justify our every move in this life. We must believe our conscience is good because we use God’s word the bible, right?

However, there is a vast different between the truth of Holy Spirit and a person reading their bibles every day. That difference is that one is from above and the other is from below. God does not recreate our old conscience he kills it in Christ. God than gives us a new conscience in Christ life. But who's conscience do we listen to? There is only one head on the body of Christ not many, but one, Christ conscience pure not defiled with the sin of good and evil of this world, unlike our old conscience created by sin is in knowing good and evil that Satan said would make human god’s not needing God’s conscience in their lives.

1Cor. 1:28 and God chose the lowly things of the world, and the things that are despised, and the things that are not, that he might bring to nothing the things that are:
1:29 that no flesh should boast before God.
1:30 But of him, you are in Christ Jesus, who was made to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption: 1:31 that, according as it is written, "He who boasts, let him boast in the Lord."{Jeremiah 9:24}

1 Corinthians 2:16 "For who has known the mind of the Lord, that he should instruct him?"{Isaiah 40:13} But we have Christ's mind.

1 Corinthians 11:3 But I would have you know that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman is the man, and the head of Christ is God.

Without that new mind of Christ we are not forgiven ours sin once for all times, and we are not born new in Christ so we cannot know the things of God by Spirit and truth.

Romans 7:18 For I know that in me, that is, in my flesh, dwells no good thing. For desire is present with me, but I don't find it doing that which is good.

Romans 8:5 For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.

Romans 8:6 For the mind of the flesh is death, but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace;

Romans 8:7 because the mind of the flesh is hostile towards God; for it is not subject to God's law, neither indeed can it be.

Romans 8:8 Those who are in the flesh can't please God.

Severing God in the flesh is the equivalent of Adam and Eve sinning than teaching that by their good conscience they could undue the corruption of sin in them.

That is, by their conscience of what is right and wrong because its been trained in God’s word they can chose for themselves what is good and what is evil for their lives; the very decision that made them sinners in the first place.

No, no, no, mankind cannot direct their steps, they cannot stop the deceit in their own hearts because they are sinners. That is the basic teaching of the bible. Moreover, that is why Christ came to earth to save us from our sin, giving us a new birth into his body so the old man, body of sin could be put too death once for all time(s) and the new man could give us a relationship with God in Spirit and truth, not flesh and blood.

Jeremiah 10:23 Yahweh, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man who walks to direct his steps.

So we have the first century Christian’s admiring personality, loving their great teachers, so its not real hard to figure out where this is headed right into the conscience of this world.

Hebrews 10:20 by the way which he dedicated for us, a new and living way, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;

1 Peter 3:18 Because Christ also suffered for sins once, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring you to God; being put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit;

Now of course the problem is a little more complex than that lets explain? You see those calling themselves Christian’s no longer were under the Old Law of the Jews, they had been put death in their flesh and made alive in Christ Jesus who is the new law for Christian’s, love, but love law does not work on this earth it really doesn’t work for the flesh and its material desires at all. In fact, its the flesh hates the law of love as foolishness on this earth, something not know by the world created by the flesh.

So what does that mean? it meant that to be a Christian’s in Christ under the new law of love Christian’s were powerless to the laws of all nations that had laws to control, conform, and punishes sins of our flesh.

That’s a big problem for those superfine apostles that wanted just that, position power and control over their flocks so they masterful twisted Christ teachings into yeast for the lust in their heart more palatable.

In other words, they incorporated the old covenant into the new covenant so they could discipline the flesh again, a flesh that according to God and Christ was dead and of no usefulness at all being it not longer exist in God’s judgment of it!

How long does corruption stay inert not very long it spreads like virus weeds everywhere within days sometime. The field was rip for planting the new and corrupt kingdom representatives of God on earth.

Rom. 7:1 Or don't you know, brothers{The word for "brothers" here and where context allows may also be correctly translated "brothers and sisters" or "siblings."} (for I speak to men who know the law), that the law has dominion over a man for as long as he lives?
7:2 For the woman that has a husband is bound by law to the husband while he lives, but if the husband dies, she is discharged from the law of the husband.
7:3 So then if, while the husband lives, she is joined to another man, she would be called an adulteress. But if the husband dies, she is free from the law, so that she is no adulteress, though she is joined to another man.
7:4 Therefore, my brothers, you also were made dead to the law through the body of Christ, that you would be joined to another, to him who was raised from the dead, that we might bring forth fruit to God.

World powers that used the good morals of Christian’s to instill law and order into massive religious kingdom with powerful priest that manipulate and control world leaders by the church.
Governmental/religion was given to their followers to protect and defend their kingdom with the loyalty they would give too God’s and Christ, doing so for power, wealth, glory from this world.

So the seed, that is in all sinners did just what it does spread corruption into God’s word, nothing new under the Sun when it comes to sin in our hearts.

The great Apostasy last how long? Until Christ destroy all kingdom of this earth by his power to expose the truth in them.
We are in the great apostasy and all you have to do is ask any Christian’s what nation on earth did God build for himself with Christian’s teaching?

Yes, the world is still the world, and any government is of the world no matter what they label it as is the world, not God’s heavenly kingdom Christ is ruling from. Religion, Christian’s and any other type of religion is still build from the same stuff all world element are built from independence from God found in darkness and sin choosing for themselves what is good and evil by a fleshly conscience that cannot be uncorrupted by education.

Religion is not coming out of the world, it is the very thing that makes a person part of government, commerce, and the wisdom of the world in the name of religion.

John 17:25 Righteous Father, the world hasn't known you, but I knew you; and these knew that you sent me.

John 18:36 Jesus answered, "My Kingdom is not of this world. If my Kingdom were of this world, then my servants would fight, that I wouldn't be delivered to the Jews. But now my Kingdom is not from here."

In Christ means you are in his kingdom, and not part of this world, thus, in Christ while we live in the world we are in hostel territory because we are not part of this world. It is in that world alienated from God we endure and have tribulation in all the days God allows for our life, for his glory and not ours.

John 16:33 I have told you these things, that in me you may have peace. In the world you have oppression; but cheer up! I have overcome the world."

John 17:6 I revealed your name to the people whom you have given me out of the world. They were yours, and you have given them to me. They have kept your word.

John 17:11 I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them through your name which you have given me, that they may be one, even as we are.

John 17:14 I have given them your word. The world hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

John 17:15 I pray not that you would take them from the world, but that you would keep them from the evil one.

John 17:16 They are not of the world even as I am not of the world.

In conclusion we acknowledge that the word apostasy in not found in the bible original text in the Hebrew writings or the Greek. The word apostasy was add by governmental/religion yeast teachings to support heresy from the governmental church. The biblical word actually means a standing away. That would be a standing away from the Christ.

The enemy of God over sown God’s field with weeds. In other words, Satan and wicked spirit force in heaven powers took Christ faithful holy Spirit teaching and polluted them by making them part of his kingdom’s on this earth.

He was a thief from the beginning stealing all God created for his own selfish personal gains. Furthermore, this is why he wages war on Christ seed the wheat son’s of God to extinguished the light in them by God’s Holy Spirit that conquers all his kingdom darkness exposing it as evil against God.

John 10:1 "Most certainly, I tell you, one who doesn't enter by the door into the sheep fold, but climbs up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.

John 10:10 The thief only comes to steal, kill, and destroy. I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly.

Hence, it is this obvious simple truth of becoming part of the world that is the Great Apostasy we live in right now since Christ apostles were on earth!

James4:1 Where do wars and fightings among you come from? Don't they come from your pleasures that war in your members?
4:2 You lust, and don't have. You kill, covet, and can't obtain. You fight and make war. You don't have, because you don't ask.
4:3 You ask, and don't receive, because you ask with wrong motives, so that you may spend it for your pleasures.
4:4 You adulterers and adulteresses, don't you know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.

Lawlessness is sin, if we all sin and fall short of God glory than all of us are lawless to God standards of righteousness.

God gave man one way to become sinless, Christ Jesus. So when we hear in the bible of the man of lawlessness it very simple, it would be those not in Christ Jesus, and not the son’s of God who are sinless and not lawless because they have been made righteous by the power of Christ Jesus blood.

They have been redeemed from this world of lawlessness by God into the body of Christ it is by Christ righteousness and not their own righteousness God makes the righteous/sinless. That is the context of the man of lawlessness that Governmental religion has made a mystery to the world and its wisdom.

Philippians 1:11 being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

Philippians 3:9 and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own, that which is of the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith;

Titus 3:5 not by works of righteousness, which we did ourselves, but according to his mercy, he saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit,
