Text: 2 Tim. 3:1-8; Luke 17:26
The Mutilation of the Gospel
The message of Christ being the only way has been mutilated
The message of Grace has been multilated
The removal of the power of the Holy Spirit
The Removal of the Word of God as being 100% inerrant and true and all other works false
The message of Healing has been mutilated
The message of Biblical giving and prosperity has been mutilated
The message of eternity has been multilated
The message of God's government has been mutilated
Prophets and prophetic words have taken the place of sound doctrinal teaching and preaching
The message of the Second Coming has been mutilated
This know also, that in the last days (the days in which we now live) perilous times shall come. (this Speaks of difficult dangerous times, which Christians living just before the Rapture will encounter.) 2 For men (those who call themselves Christians) shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy
5 Having a form of Godliness (refers to all the trappings of Christianity, but without the power), but denying the power thereof (the modern Church, for all practical purposes, has denied the Cross; in doing this, they have denied that through which the Holy Spirit works, and in Whom the power resides [Rom. 8:1-2, 11; I Cor. 1:18]): from such turn away. (No half measures are to be adopted here. The command is clear! It means to turn away from Churches that deny or ignore the Cross.)
6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses (proclaims the methods of false teachers), and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lust (due to Eve succumbing to temptation and deception, women are the easiest prey for these false teachers; the idea is that "silly women" will support these false teachers, and do so grandly; they are drawn to these false Preachers through "driver lusts"),
7 Ever learning (proclaims learning that which is wrong), and never able to come to the knowledge of the Truth. (This proclaims the fact that they really do not want the Truth.)
2 Peter 3:3 - Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts
James 5:3 - Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days.
