1 | Apostasy vs. heresy. | 2 Tim 4:3 | kalos | 2155 | ||
Apostasy and heresy. "Apostasy, 'falling away,' is the act of professed Christians who deliberately reject revealed truth as to (1) the Deity of Jesus Christ, and (2) redemption through His atoning and redeeming sacrifice. Apostasy differs, therefore, from error concerning truth, which may be the result of ignorance, or heresy, which may be due to the snare of Satan (2 Tim 2:25-26), both of which may exist with true faith. The apostate is perfectly described in 2 Tim 4:3-4. Apostates depart from the faith, but not from the outward profession of Christianity (2 Tim 3:5). ... Apostasy in the church, as in Israel, is irremediable and awaits judgment." (p. 1304, New Scofield Reference Bible, Oxford, 1967) | ||||||

When I was in Graduate School, our Dean made an excellent observation about heresy. He said: "Heresy is the revenge of neglected truth. (Dr. Fetters - 11/2/88)" His point was simply that heresy springs up during times when the church has neglected the great truths of the Bible. Tim Moran |

Thank you, Tim, for an excellent quotation. It's one I will remember and use. Unfortunately today many evangelical churches are neglecting expository preaching and instead are emphasizing little skits, psychological mumbo jumbo, sensationalism, and, in short, whatever it takes to entertain people and hold their attention. --JVH0212 |
