Bible Note: Correction Mommapbs: One could say the immediate cause of apostasy is the teaching of false doctrine. But I would venture to say the underlying cause is a lack of biblical discernment. The underlying cause is a peron's ignorance of the Bible, which results in his being vulnerable to heretical or apostate teaching. How does one recognize false doctrine if he has not learned true Bible doctrine? 'Discernment - the ability to think biblically about all areas of life - is indispensable to an uncompromising life. It is incumbent upon the Christian to seize upon the discernment that God has provided for in His precious truth! Without it, Christians are at risk of being "tossed here and there by waves, and carried about by every wind of doctrine" (Ephesians 4:14).'

Grace to you, Kalos [Correction: I had misspelled apostasy in my previous note, ID# 136488. In previous note, change "apostacy" to "apostasy".] |
