Leaving Christianity — The Great Falling Away
A look into the archaeological, historical & biblical evidence of why many walk away
Christianity is one of the world’s biggest religions with an average of 2.3 billion Christians according to the Pew Research Centre, statistics of 2015. The religion is over 2000 years old with its symbols of the cross & fish and the belief in Jesus being the son of God.
It is written in the Bible that there will be ‘a falling away’ some preachers call it “The great falling away,” implying that many people in particular the ‘very elect’ will be deceived and leave the faith in the ‘end of the Age’.
Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
2 Thessalonians 2: 3 KJV
Has this falling away happened? There are many pastors, popes, priests, Biblical scholars & everyday Christians that are leaving/have left the faith.
