A Text without Context, a Pretext

"Understanding first this, that no prophecy of the Scripture is of private interpretation, because never the prophecy was brought by human will, but the holy men of God, spoke being inspired by the Holy Spirit" (2 Peter 1: 20- 21)

One of the things I learned, was that with the Bible you can "prove" almost anything, taking texts from their contexts, partializing it, and adapting it to our particular interpretation.

In that way in the inquisition, the "holy wars" or the historical "crusaders", sects, religions, sorcerers and even spiritualists find verses to support their doctrines or practices, even the communist doctrine is based on biblical texts, when the goods were distributed and he had not needed among the first Christians.

That is the reason why we have within the Gospel spectrum, Calvinists and Arminianists, messianic, amillennialist, premillennialist, trinitarian and unicist, dispensationalist and others that would occupy us several lines.

The segmentations, pluralism and diversification, the different theologies, the liberal, the opening, the process, etc. it is precisely due to "the particular interpretation" of the sacred text.

In the same way we interpret, for almost everything new that is practiced, the "drunkenness of the Spirit", decontextualized texts of Acts 2:13 and 15, when on the day of Pentecost those one hundred and twenty were baptized, or those verses that refer to " came new, "the" fall by the Spirit "as of the day Jesus rose, the Roman guard fell backwards, the dances, because David danced celebrating a victory, the" leaps and bounds "because the Scripture says in one text: "You will jump like calves of the herd" (Malachi 4: 2), thus the general anointing of oil, or the anointing with oil of taking streets and cities, the doctrine of covenants and decrees, that of prosperity, that of successism and conquest, the "binding demons", the "regressions and spiritual healing", the "generational curses", the making of demons talk as practice, the inclusion of symbols and Hebrew feasts within the Christian cults, the luvia de oro, the electric shock, the blowing to fall, the Holy Supper for the infants, the baptism of the infants, the new ministries of "apostles" and "prophets", the women in the "pastorate", the "G12 "And the cells, the" one-person "ministries, the Church committed and militating in politics, ecumenism, the charismatic movement, etc.

"But with regard to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and our meeting with Him (The rapture or translation of the Church) ... No one deceives you in any way; because it will not come unless the apostasy comes before ... "(2 Thessalonians 2: 1-3)

The "apostasy" means the abandonment of the faith, but not the faith interpreted as hope or belief, but as the abandonment of the Christian foundations, in a common dictionary, the basic definition is: change of opinion or doctrine.

As we know all these "fashions" or "theological tendencies" that so many defend by heart and sword, have emerged in recent decades, you can not find historical references, or biblical, on many modern "anointings" and "ministries".

If the Apostasy means "change of opinion or doctrine" Is it chance, that so many began believing in a way and then changed, mutated and "adapted" to the theological modernity ?, before they believed in the rapture of the Church, now no longer , before they believed in spiritual gifts, not now, they believed in a way and they turned to the Lord and then something happened, did they find a new revelation, which is not in the Bible?

We should only do a simple healthy exercise: Search the ancient Christians, the elders, those who walked with God in the Christian faith for more than 40 or 50 years, in any congregation or denomination, (we can still find many) and ask them: What was the Church like when they believed? How was the doctrine, the cults, the shepherds? How did God operate in his meetings, as were the gifts, what happened then? They will be surprised, and I am talking about only 40 or 50 years.
