departing from the faith of Christ

First, there is no assembly organized without leaven. 
(run to and fro in the streets of Jerusalem (church) and see if you can find one who is righteous, who holds to the One, and despises the other)for all seek their own and self glory. Through deceit they refuse to know God. Shall one gather at the river of life with such a nation as this? Who mock the righteousness of Christ dwelling in earthen vessels? Reproaching those who are sober and holy by the blood of the Lamb, created in Christ Jesus as kings and priests unto the glory of the Father? This is the Redeemed of the LORD, Born again by the Spirit, Water and Blood, having their minds purged from an evil conscience. Yet the contradiction of sinners "stiff-necked and uncircumcised in the heart, they do always resist the Holy Ghost". Covenant-breakers, wells without water, "these are they who are sensual, having not the Spirit... who mind earthly things." As dogs return to their vomit and as sows to their wallowing in the mire.  Saying alas we are all come short of the glory of God, and whoever says they are clean from sin are called liars by the accusers of the brethren who have no remission of sin because they never were saved. It is the misery of iniquity to be joined to a devil and partake with the unclean. "Come out of her my people, lest YE be a PARTAKERS of her sins and receive of her plagues". Well, that's where we are now. A desolate land full of scorpions among briers. Vain People with Flattering lips and a double tongue you will find instead. Teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. Saying, "come not near unto us for we are holier than thou", standing on platforms behind veils of pretense. The youth faint more and more, yet they despise the counsel of the elders and ways of holiness. Another generation of vipers: "who warned you of the wrath to come?"The doctrine of separation from sinners is despised and rejected by the carnal minded, children of disobedience who cannot cease from sin, spotted by the flesh. 

These are the days of apostasy.

The departing from the faith of Christ. 

EKKLESIA 155
