Why are so many theologians and pastors denying the virgin birth and resurrection of Christ?
They deny these truths because they have apostatized—turned their backs on the basic, revealed truths of Scripture. That abandonment of the Word allows false teaching to flourish in mainline denominations, so the virgin birth and the literal, physical, visible resurrection of Christ are dismissed as mythology.
Les explains that the denial is a symptom of apostasy. He says the theologians and pastors have turned their backs on the basic truths of Scripture, and that is why false teachings are having such a free run in many mainline denominations. Because they have apostatized and rejected the revealed truth of the Word of God, they deny the virgin birth and treat the literal, physical, visible resurrection of Christ as mythology. Les ties this to the biblical prophecy of a falling away first; apostasia can also mean departure, so Christendom's departure from the Word and the Christian's departure at the taking out are in view. Once apostasy comes, the man of sin, the son of perdition, the Antichrist, will be revealed.
