In our study, we are told to follow the apostles as "ensamples" which includes withdrawing from hereticks and unrepentant backsliders.

We actually live in a culture that is permeated by talebearers of various kinds. Elsewhere we discuss individuals but in this case we talk about the individuals who collectively make up "the mainstream media" and what the masses who enable these talebearers have in common with the followers of false teachers which continue to increase in number and influence in these last days.

035 The Patient Waiting For Christ (2 Thessalonians 3:3-5) 1 of 2
CURRENT EVENTS UPDATE: Israel At War With Hamas 12/13/2023 As Israel floods the Hamas Tunnels beneath Gaza and the terrorists come running out like drowning rats... the world unites in the UN to side with Hamas and the call for a ceasefire. A Turkish lawmakers curse Israel and then drops from a heart attack.
