I have posted this in a forum for the unorthodox doctrines...since I believe what orthodox has become has shifted 180 degrees from what it once was.And this over a great period of time...so slowly that few have even noticed it.
With an open mind....good reading comprehension, and the help of God's Spirit...we can maybe move forward together into some kind of greater understanding.....of where the church is at presently.
2 Thess. 2:7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.
The power of delusion has always been at work. God has limited it's power so as to give His people a chance to learn and grow...and get a good testimony.
But God is righteous....and He must let the full force of the devil's delusion test His people at some point.
Just as a person who follows Christ will get more of the testing needed for a full maturity...as time goes on....so also historically the church must be tested into a bid for a full maturity...or a full failure.
I believe we have reached that point. Paul warned us of this nearly 2,000 years ago.
What is iniquity? It is a mixture of what is holy...with what is worldly and carnal...that twits the will of God into something that serves the will of the devil.
The devil wants a say in the affairs of God...and he promotes his say through unsuspecting people.
Why is it a mystery? Because people don't realize how easily they are fooled by the crafty one. The devil deceives the whole world....even the church to a large degree. He has his fingers everywhere.
People can see the extremes...but are normally blind to their own deceptions.
When we realize how God wants His church to be...and see what it has become...we can begin to see the problem.
The devil divides and conquers. Just look at all the divisions. Just look at all the mixture.
