Bible Question:
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 |
Bible Answer: hello Rowdy, I hope thiswill be of some help in Jude verse 5 apostates are equatedto those who came out Egypt butstill did not believe in God. In verses 7-8 Jude speaks tothe issue of homosexuality as being apostate as waell a those who reject authority and speak evil of dignitaries. In verse 16 he addresses grumblers complainers and those walking after their own lust as being apostate. Now if we take the context of the whole book concerns these people inside the church. Hope this is what you arelooking for . your friend in Christ, tgc |
