hi Softloy,
Yes, you are correct. Not only is your assessment correct, but it is even fulfillment of prophecies of the Scriptures. Paul wrote to Timothy: For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. We are living in the very days that Paul warned Timothy would be coming.
Jesus gave a very clear example of faith when he returns:
"I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?" I believe that Jesus, and all of the first disciples who were given the blessing of teaching the later day saints through the written word, all understood that the assessment of people, as a group, would be just as you have assessed.
For the born again believer, we can look at the general acceptance of the behaviour that you speak of, and know that the time is near. The world is ripe for the Anti-christ. Will he rise on the scene in my lifetime? I don't know, but I'm fairly confident that we won't see another 100-200 years of the times of the gentiles.
God bless you.
In Christ, Ted
Are there really any good old fashioned conservative Christians out there anymore? If so, I want to find you! lol. I am so sad to see the Christian population has become so liberal in their morals, thinking etc....
Even though I'm 22, I'm old school.
It is a sad thing indeed. I see it a lot in mainstream Christianity and CatholicismAre there really any good old fashioned conservative Christians out there anymore? If so, I want to find you! lol. I am so sad to see the Christian population has become so liberal in their morals, thinking etc....

What I mean is the world seems to be filling up with liberal Christianity by the minute. Those who decide it is ok to drink in moderation or do drugs because God made them or date several people at once, look at inappropriate material because it "does not hurt anyone", accepting of worldly ways and things. Women not being submissive, men not taking the lead, woman dressing provocatively, men "checking out" every woman who walks by. Those are just a few examples. The list goes on for miles. Nobody seems to be concerned with avoiding the appearance of evil these days. Ok, just my two cents
Could it be this is the start of the "falling away".......Its pretty bad when you have to defend the bible is true, to preachers who talk and live contrary to what it says.......They call it the "emerging church" On the face it looks really cool and quite possibly a good idea, but when you watch and see what sort of disciples its producing, Its pretty sad!Are there really any good old fashioned conservative Christians out there anymore?
