2 Thessalonians 2
1. Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,
2. That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
3. Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a (defection from the truth aka apostasy) first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
That apostasy "defection from the truth" is already rampant thru out the Church! What is the basics for the TRUTH? The Bible in context and not changed to suit what your itching ears has been taught it says!
