Go ahead and prove that 50k + Protestant sects with conflicting and contradictory doctrines are NOT the "some...depart(ing)" "in latter times" mentioned in 1 Timothy 4:1!?*
Keep in mind that*conflicting, contradictory doctrine is not okay...at least according to the Bible and 1st century Christians.~ John 14:26, John 16:13; Malachi 3:6
While you're at it you might as well prove that 1Timothy was actually written to 16th century Protestants and not 1st century Christians as everybody knows that not a single solitary Protestant existed in the first century!?
God Bless!
The religious, denominational system is courtesy of the mystery of iniquity that doth already work (2 Thessalonians 2:7 KJV).
Those who don't follow Paul (1 Corinthians 4:15-16 KJV) and don't hold fast the form of sound words that we have heard of Paul (2 Timothy 1:13 KJV) in Romans through Philemon are all a part of that system; "Protestants" and "Catholics" included.
2 Corinthians 11:13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.
2 Corinthians 11:14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
2 Corinthians 11:15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
If you nameth the name of Christ, depart from iniquity!
2 Timothy 2:19 KJV
