Ichabod- Apostate Christianity

Jesus said we should watch out for in discerning the signs of the appointed time for the end of this present world system in Mathew 24: -24-25 when He said "For false Christ's and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even, the elect. See, I have told you beforehand."Because of God's audacious declaration in Isaiah 46: -8-10 that "Remember this, and show yourselves men; Recall to mind, O you transgressors. Remember the former things of old, For I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like Me, Declaring the end from the beginning, And from ancient times things that are not yet done, Saying, 'My counsel shall stand, And I will do all My pleasure, ' I am an unapologetic believer that human history can only vindicate God's truth as revealed in the bible. As such, this book, rather than give new prophecies or make biased conjecture of our religious history, is a fair assessment of the development of modern popular Christianity in the light of the holy bible which every adherents of this religion considers to varying degrees as sacred. When we look at the world we live in, if we want to understand what is happening in this world, we first have to go to the bible to check what God had said.Often times in Christianity, we misinterpret another saying of Jesus Christ that we should not judge others so that God will not be judged us to mean that we should correct the errors in others. God cannot contradict Himself. The very fact that He expects us to be our brother's keeper presupposes that He expects us to speak out against deception with the view to either preventing fellow believers from falling or to bring back those already deceived. So, what Jesus actually meant by judge not so as not to be judged is that correction must never be hypocritical.In other words, make sure that you who wants to correct another is not practicing the very thing that you are trying to correct. Only the person on the right tract can correctly correct those on the wrong tract, hence Paul said that we imitate him as he imitates God.We this in mind, understand that this is not a biased criticism of any denomination, neither is it meant to cast aspersion on any individual dead or alive but this book is written to critically examine people, doctrines, denominations, and religions based on the word of God.In 1 John 4:12, the apostle wrote that "Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.". so, today we have a lot of false prophets teaching a lot of false doctrines and building a lot of false Church.2 Peter 2:1 says "But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction." note here that Peter was speaking first in the past tense of the Old covenant to signify that even in the days of Moses, Joshua, Samuel, Elijah, Elisha, Micah, Jeremiah, Isaiah etc. down to Malachi, there were false prophets, so this is not a new phenomenon.Don't forget that even in the garden of Eden as beautiful and bountiful as it was, there was the serpent teaching that wherever is see the move of God, there will also be a counter move of the devil. And in most cases the devil does not come to you as the devil but rather he comes in a deceptively alluring facade. He comes, telling you that he is the best example of what you are seeking, and leads you astray when you accept.
