From what were the Apostles deeply concerned about protecting the early church?
They were worried about those who would corrupt the truth of the gospel by blending with it the lies from the imaginations of men which are now incorporated within the psychology and philosophy of popular culture.
Just one contemporary example:
CA Legislature Passes Bill on Behave 0f Pedophiles Because of 'LGBTQ Equality'
State Senator Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco) and Assemblywoman Susan Eggman (D-Stockton) introduced recent legislation "to end blatant discrimination against LGBTQ young people regarding California's sex offender registry."
Under their bill, SB 145, the offenders would not have to automatically register as sex offenders if the offenders are within 10 years of age of the minor.
On the last day possible, the California legislature passed Senate Bill 145. The bill now goes to the Governor who has up to 30 days to sign or veto it.
The bill, which was co-sponsored by the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office, and Equality California, ultimately passed the California Assembly 41-18, and the State Senate, 23-10. It now heads to the desk of Gov. Gavin Newsom (D), who must sign it into law before the end of September for it to take effect.
Weiner’s bill is backed by several law enforcement advocates, including the California Public Defenders Association, Children Now, and the California Coalition Against Sexual Assault (CALCASA), as well as by LGBTQ advocates.
An individual of 18 or older who performs sexual acts with a "consenting" minor no more than 10 years younger (an eight year old) is no longer to be registered as a sex offender.
"You adulterous people! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God." - James 4:4
Jeremiah reveals the progression of God's judgment on a people who call themselves by His name, but who are unwilling to abide by His written Word, or to listen to His shepherds who teach the unadulterated truth of His Word, but who adore every self-proclaimed false prophet, preferring to listen only to the sound of those voices that teach and proclaim the lusts and perversions of their own heart.
Jeremiah 14:13-15 Drought, Famine, Sword, Pestilence
13 “Ah, Lord GOD!” I replied, “Look, the prophets are telling them, ‘You will not see the sword or suffer famine, but I will give you lasting peace in this place.’ ”
14 “The prophets are prophesying lies in My name,” replied the LORD. “I did not send them or appoint them or speak to them. They are prophesying to you a false vision, a worthless divination, the futility and delusion of their own minds.
15 Therefore this is what the LORD says about the prophets who prophesy in My name: I did not send them, yet they say, ‘No sword or famine will touch this land.’ By sword and famine these very prophets will meet their end!
