Falling Away

The Great Falling Away
Starting to Appear

2 Thessalonians 2:3 Talks about the great falling away right before Christ will return. Here is an article related to that fact. Turn back to Christ before it is too late. For we are in a very late hour.

The article also addresses the fact that younger people are abandoning the concept of absolute truth, believing that pre-marital sex and same-sex marriages are alright. Is this the result of a generation of youth subjected to "situational ethics" (whats right for you may not be right for me type thinking) that has been promoted in the education system?

[excerpt]

A poll comparing the moral and religious views of young adults in their 20s and 30s with the views of adults over 40 shows that the young adults are abandoning the biblical faith of their elders at an alarming rate, according to the Barna Group.

In terms of morals, adults in their 20s and 30s were at least twice as likely as their elders to have:

  • had a sexual encounter outside of marriage
  • used illegal drugs
  • gotten drunk
  • used profanity in public
  • lied
  • taken revenge
  • physically fought or physically abused someone
  • viewed sexually explicit videos
  • said mean things behind someone's back

The Barna poll also found that young adults are 10 times more likely than older adults to download or trade music online illegally.
