Subject: Where is "backsliding" in the NT? |
Bible Note: What we have here is a failure to communicate. Nowhere in Matthew 24:12 is there any form of THE ENGLISH WORD b-a-c-k-s-l-i-d-i-n-g. I say again: If you can, show me the book, show me the chapter, and show me the verse where any form of the word "backsliding" appears in the NT. - - - - - - - - - - Once again, nowhere in the NT do we find the *word* "backsliding". What we do find in the NT is the English translation of the Greek word for "apostasy" (Apostasia (Strong's #646) defined as "a falling away, defection, apostasy." The English translation of the Greek word appears twice in the KJV New Testament. It is translated "to forsake" in Acts 21:21 and "falling away" in 2 Thess. 2:3. Apostasy defined and summarized: "Apostasy, Summary: Apostasy, "falling away," is the act of professed Christians who deliberately reject revealed truth "(1) as to the deity of Jesus Christ, and "(2) redemption through His atoning and redeeming sacrifice (1 John 4:1-3; Philippians 3:18 ; 2 Peter 2:1). Apostasy differs from error concerning truth, which may be the result of ignorance (Acts 19:1-6) or heresy, which may be due to the sphere of Satan (2 Timothy 2:25,26) both of which may consist with true faith. The apostate is perfectly described in (2 Timothy 4:3,4). Apostates depart from the faith, but not from the outward profession of Christianity (2 Timothy 3:5). Apostate teachers are described in: 2 Timothy 4:3; 2 Peter 2:1-19; Jude 1:4,8,11-13,16 . "Apostasy in the church, as in Israel (Isaiah 1:5,6; 5:5-7) is irremediable, and awaits judgment (2 Thessalonians 2:10-12 ; 2 Peter 2:17,21; Jude 1:11-15; Revelation 3:14-16.)"
