How do they come to this conclusion? Not sure, but I think it is because the have allowed their perception of education to make them fools. As scripture says a fool says there is no God. There is a strong move toward the concept that religion is for the slow of mind, that an enlightened individuals understands the concept of religion was conceived in an attempt to establish a social order and moral structure for the less knowing. Most are atheist or at the very lest agnostic, so the denial of the second coming of Christ is a non issue with them. There is a very strong move in Education in America to remove God from our society. This starts in grade schools and progresses though out the education process. We should not be surprised of the results. The look at the cost of colleges and seminaries they have to do something to keep the classrooms full so they market Ministry as a great career that offers many benefits that appeal to young students. These students upon graduation find Ministry perhaps a little different than they expected eventually find themselves for one reason or another moving into education themselves. So the cycle continues. I had one professor tell me that while he was talking of Abraham and the great Patriarchs of the faith, at the beginning of the first semester class, noticed one student with tears in her eyes. After class when asked about it was told she had no idea who those people were and being totally lost began to cry. He then surveyed the class and found only a small handful of the students viewed themselves as true believers. This was a well known and respected Bible college where you would expect only Christians to attend yet in truth a huge majority were not believers and were only looking to meet the requirements of future job offerings. 2 Thessalonians 2:3 (NKJV) 3 Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, Look at the great Colleges all started as Bible Schools, Harvard, Yale, Princeton, and etc. Almost all colleges at headed by people that aspire to be like these schools. |

EdB; yes many once solid Bible colleges and seminaries have fallen away from their first LOVE. The Seminary my wife and I went to , I graduated in 1989, is now one I can no longer support. This is heart braking. But this is also true for once solidly Biblically based Churches sad to say. I wonder if the falling away we see is not a strong indicator of Jesus return. I feel more in line with Historical Premillennialism. But time will tell if I live long enough. Blessings Ed. justem |

Greeting and Blessings to you Justme I don't know if this falling away is a strong indicator or not. While it is almost unimaginable for us as Christians to witness, man’s relationship with God has been worst. If we go back to the time of Jesus and look at the Jews and their relationship with God we see they really did not hold God as a deity to be worshipped but rather worshipped the law the Pharisees laid out for them if they worshipped at all. Then only a few years later many had converted to almost paganism seeking fulfillment in Gladiator fights and slaughter of Christians. While many hold Abortion is just another form of paganism (tossing children to lions versus torn apart at the hands of a doctor) it has been going on for over 30 years now. I believe these are indicators I don’t think they enable us to commit to a time range. We must be constantly ready and always listening for the trumpet blast and command to come up here! |
