AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Timothy 4:1 But the [Holy] Spirit explicitly and unmistakably declares that in later times some will turn away from the faith, paying attention instead to deceitful and seductive spirits and doctrines of demons, |
Bible Question:
What is meant here by falling away from the faith? I do not by any means pretend to know. How can one fall away from the faith if one has an assurance of faith? Is this talking about those back then who at first were doing the right things, but then taught to do the wrong things, and does this mean they have the spirit of the anti-Christ, or is it that they are still saved but believe the wrong things? blessings abound, bowler |
Bible Answer: bowler, Please read the other threads for this verse. Also search Apostate using the tool in the upper right. If you are asking about eternal security, that too has been discussed too may times, and should be off limits. Note there are many antichrists and one antichrist (1 John 2:18). Searcher |
