I still can't help but be amazed at what appears to be a whole generation 
coming out from the "measure themselves by themselves" groups, who
lack even the comprehension of the concept that there even is such 
a thing as spiritual chastity.  

I had not seen it as a cause and effect relationship in the following
verses, but it appears to be so.  I have been preaching that the "measure"
crowd was the "high risk" group for spiritual infidelity, but I didn't see
it before as a "cause and effect", but it may well be.

We see whoredom, corruption, infidelity (lack of chastity) warned against
and defined as even "bearing with" such as a trinitarian.

2 Cor 11:2 For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have
espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to
Christ. 
2 Cor 11:3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve
through his subtlety, so your minds should be corrupted from the
simplicity that is in Christ. 
2 Cor 11:4 For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not
preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or
another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him. 

But looking back in the same teaching by Paul, we see:

2 Cor 10:12 For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare
ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they measuring themselves
by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise. 

Brethern, right before our eyes we are seeing a generation of spiritual
whores coming out of the "compare themselves among themselves"
organizations DEVOID of the concept that there is even such a thing as
"spiritual chastity".  It is an alien, repugnant concept to them.

Hosea 8:7 For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind:
it hath no stalk: the bud shall yield no meal: if so be it yield, the
strangers shall swallow it up. 

When I see trinitarians who only want their itching ears scratched,
I am not suprised at all, but when I see young oneness whores holding
their ears crying out for censorship against anything that doesn't 
scratch their itching ears, it grieves me.  

2 Tim 4:2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove,
rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. 
2 Tim 4:3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine;
but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having
itching ears; 
2 Tim 4:4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be
turned unto fables. 

A generation devoid of even the concept of spiritual chastity (and it's
not always JUST spiritual chastity either).
