II Timothy 3:1 – 4:22 (Continued)

May 29, 2013

From Jane's KJV:

Apostasy: "falling away" is the act of professed Christians who deliberately reject revealed truth. Apostasy differs from error concerning truth, which may be a result of ignorance, or heresy, which may be due to the snare of Satan, both of which may consist with true faith. Apostates depart from the faith, but not from the outward profession of Christianity. Apostasy in the church, as in Israel, is irremediable, and awaits judgment. Apostates reject the revealed truth: 1) as to the deity of Christ, and 2) redemption through His atoning and redeeming sacrifice.

From Life Lesson:

If you don't follow truth you are opening yourself up to following "false teachers who would tell them what (they) want to hear."
"The apostle Paul warned that many would follow the false teachers, not knowing that in feeding upon what these people say they are taking the devil's poison into their own lives. Thousands of people in every walk of life are being deceived today. False teachers use high sounding words that seem like the height of logic, scholarship, and sophistication. They are intellectually clever and crafty in their sophistry. They are adept at beguiling men and women whose spiritual foundations are weak... If Jesus Christ is not the son of God, nothing matters. But if he is, nothing else matters!" ~ From Storm Warning by Billy Graham

Next Entry: Titus 1:1 – 2:15
