Episode 707: What is THE Falling Away? Is it when a believer stop believing? Part 9

Many believers are troubled and some are tormented by certain phrases and statements recorded on the pages of scriptures.

Why, you may ask? The reason is due to these particular passages, if not properly understood could be interpreted as if a true born again believer can lose salvation.

Of course the Bible doesn't teach such a thing nonetheless there are many pastors and others that do.

It's unfortunate nevertheless the word of God makes it crystal clear that that is an impossibility. A proper understanding of the new birth is the remedy for any objection to this truth.

Yet, we endeavor to bring clarity today to a passage that is often used to terrify believers into a legalistic pattern of behavior through fear in lieu of a passionate loving relationship that leads to submissive obedience.
The passage being reference is The Falling Away mentioned by Paul in 2 Thes. 2.
It along with Hebrews 6 & 10 scares most believers to death.
Let us discuss this passage within its proper context to determine if that is what the scriptures actually teach. Let's go.

Hello everyone. In tonight's Bible study we take a closer look at the event called "The Falling Away".

What is the falling away? Most people say that it is when a true born again believer forsake the faith and turns back to the world. Meaning that the born again believer is unborn again and becomes an unsaved sinner again.

If this is true, does that mean that the person who was born again then unborn again must be born again again?

Is that even possible? Does the Bible teach such a thing? Absolutely not! There is no where in the scriptures that a person can be born again from above then unborn again. Neither does it teach that a person can be born again more than once.

Do you understand what must take place for a person to be born again? Jesus must die for that person's sins. If what Jesus did the first time cannot keep the sinner saved then the only way the sinner can be born again again is if Jesus comes back and die, be buried, and arise from the grave again.

Friend that is blasphemy!

So what then is The Falling Away? The falling away is a single event that has two wings of abominations. Two wings of abominations? Yes.

The first wing is performed by the Antichrist when he goes into the Jewish Temple of God, sit on the Ark of the Covenant then proclaim that he is the God of Israel, heaven and earth.

The second wing of abomination is when the false prophet set up an image of the Antichrist in God's Temple and cause everyone to worship the image instead of the One True God.

That's the specific event called The Falling Away. The true man of sin, the son of perdition unveils himself while the false prophet turns the hearts of men completely away from the true God to an idol man like unto a man.

These two men fall completely away from what they had been proclaiming to follow for 3 1/2 years.

How did I come to that conclusion? That is what the scriptures teach.
