What does the Bible say about the falling away of the church?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible indicates that a falling away occurs when the true church departs from faith, as seen in Genesis 6 and 2 Thessalonians 2:3.

The Bible addresses the concept of a falling away most explicitly in 2 Thessalonians 2:3, where it states that the day of the Lord will not come unless there is a 'falling away first.' This reflects a general departure from the faith of the gospel, mirroring the events seen in Genesis 6, where God lamented the wickedness of mankind. Believers are warned of a time when there will be a form of godliness, but the essence of faith and righteousness will be lost. This falling away illustrates the danger of allowing worldly influences to compromise one's faith, leading to spiritual desolation and God's judgment.
