II Thessalonians 2
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 this passage of scripture and God said to me: "The falling away are not people leaving the churches but rather the falling away are the churches leaving the scriptures."
In the New American Standard Bible, this "falling away" is called, the apostasy.

I've never heard the following doctrine taught at any church that I have attended.
Jesus says:
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.
* The man who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.
* The divorced woman who remarries commits adultery but her husband who divorced her will be the cause of her adultery.
Concerning homosexuals and lesbians, I've never heard the following scriptures taught at any church that I have attended.
Romans 1
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 in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

So I grieved greatly when I witnessed pastors adding things to the Bible that are not written in the Bible.
And I grieved greatly when I witnessed pastors eliminating instructions which are written in the New Testament Bible while failing to present to their congregations the instructions given by the Holy Scriptures.

In 2017, God opened my eyes to see that the removal of portions of scripture is the apostasy that would come in the end time churches before the judgment.
By scriptures such as the following God showed me antichrist comes through the churches.
And I also saw by these scriptures that antichrist had been working in the churches since the time of the apostles John and Paul.
I John 2:18-19 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.
19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.
19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.
And the apostle Paul said the following to the elders at the church at Ephesus.
Acts 20:29-30 For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.
30 Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.
30 Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.
Antichrist was sitting among those elders at the church at Ephesus and they were just waiting for Paul to leave so then they could bring their own perverse doctrines into the church group at Ephesus.

When Jesus returns, HE will destroy the apostate churches.
II Thessalonians 2
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.
