One big talking point you hear among Christians today — forget the mainstream apostate church, I’m talking about the supposed devoutly saints — is that certain parts of Scripture are irrelevant because human civilization no longer works that way.
Moses wrote the Law some time around 1500 BC. Between him and the time of the Romans, many things changed. Globalist thought replaced nationalist thought. The economy became more money based. Science and philosophy had infiltrated Israel. Roman laws and customs pressed upon Judea to change its society.
When Jesus humanly appeared in Israel, how much of the law did He say was no longer necessary? How much of the Torah did He ignore? Did He tell them divorce was okay since Rome had a legal process for it? Did He say greed and ambition were the future of society? Did He tell the Pharisees to start tithing money instead of food since banking was the new economy?
Jesus changed the parts of the law that dealt with Israel’s separation, as we discussed in the other thread. But He didn’t change the natural order of things, and He didn’t lower the bar. In the NT, the apostles likewise grew a multi-cultural church on the basis that kosher laws, holidays, and other shadows were spiritually rooted in Christ. They did NOT write contradictory letters with opposing teachings to different cities. It was assumed that any Christian in any city could read all the letters. If Paul had given one standard to Corinth and another to Ephesus, imagine the confusion it would have created.
Then we come to today’s time. Did the apostles say the future would bring social improvements that made their teachings obsolete?

If our world doesn't work that way, can it go back to working that way again before Jesus returns?

And now I am going to give us the answer , THAT WE ALL KNOW ALREADY . NO . If anything is trying to make obsolete their teachings , REST ASSURED its father is the dark one . WE KEEP the TRUE PATTERN FIRM TO THE END . WITH ALL HOPE IN CHRIST and not in men .

If our world doesn't work that way, can it go back to working that way again before Jesus returns? As a church, we can strive to return to following scripture as much as possible. Do I think the world will return to God's way before Christ returns? No. I don't even think the majority of Christians will or want to , but that shouldn't stop us from standing on the truth and following God's ways as much as is possible. We can sure do better than we are.

Paul spoke of it . Even before our LORD does return , THERE WOULD be a MASSIVE END TIME FALLING AWAY . WE IN IT . WE ARE TRULY IN THIS FALLING AWAY and the overwhemly vast majority are and will go under it and it will viral fast in the days ahead . The proof is all over the place . Reprobation of nations is rampant Reprobabtion of churches is rampant . And now lastly nigh the very end of it , ITS MUSHROOMING under a false all inclusive love . IN and on this path , TO say JESUS is the only way and that HE must be confessed , called upon by name in order for one to be saved , WILL be truly and utterly despised and hated by not only the all inclusive world and her religions but false chrianity too . We cannot stop what is coming , BUT the LORD PREPARES HIS OWN to be able to stand in the hour of great evil and fear not man but to be faithful unto HIM , counting the cost of losing all and even our lives as ONLY THIS , TOTAL GAIN and ALL OUT REJOICMENT IN THE LORD . YEP . THEY CANT TAKE OUR PEACE from us , IN THIS WOLRD we shall have tribulation but in HIM PEACE . LET the lambs double down on bible doctrine , prayers and exhortations . ON praises and rejoicing in the LORD . Hey , the end is coming , AND FOR ALL WHO ARE HIS and ENDURE and ENDURED faithful , IF you think we got JOY in the LORD NOW JUST WAIT TILL HIS DAY . A PRAISE FEST FOR ALL ETERNITY awaits those who are HIS .
