1 | What is the apostacy? | 2 Thess 2:3 | Rowdy | 121490 | ||
Recently, I've been studying about the apostacy from a Biblical perspective and an historical one. I'd be interested in what exactly is the common view among most Bible students on this subject. What is the apostacy? Please based your discussions on what the Bible says about it. At the very least, I assume most of you will include 1 Tim 4:1. God bless you all. --Rowdy |

2 | What is the apostacy? | 2 Thess 2:3 | Renovate Me | 121491 | ||
Hi Rowdy, I believe that apostasy is just as prevalent today, for who has been a Christian for any length of time, and does not know of a person claiming to be reborn, then turning back to the old way of life? The verse you refer to, seems to me, a prophecy through Paul concerning the apostasy of the latter times, which he had spoken of in 2Thes 2 as being expected to take place. a good example of the apostasy is turning away from the teachings of the Christian Church and giving consideration to teachings and temptations of demons, or the worship of saints and angels. This was in harmony with the early church of Rome, as it enshrined of the relics of martyrs, paying homage to them, building altars and burning incense as they recited prayers and praises to the honor of saints that have departed. This is paganism revived, the image of the first beast, in Rev 4:7, “The first living creature was like a lion” The Lion of course, being the symbol of authority (The King of the jungle) God Bless, me |
