Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Too often church adherents don't take seriously the issue of apostacy in their churches. We will accept a person falling away and coming back as many times as needed without thinking of the theological ramifications for allowing a person to continuously crucify Christ at their own whim. Owen in this work shows the serious problem that apostacy brings to a church body and also the seriousness in our own lives of people around us that fall away from the true and only Christian faith.

Download or read book The Nature and Causes of Apostasy from the Gospel written by R. J. K. Law and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few subjects have received less attention from contemporary Christian writers than that of apostasy. The idea that professing Christians may prove not to be true Christians is, in many respects, too serious a prospect for our facile age. But, for John Owen, such avoidance of the issue was itself a pressing reason for writing on it at length and in great depth of spiritual analysis. His exposition is a masterpiece of penetration and discernment. Now, in this modernised abridgement of Owen's work, Dr. R.J.K. Law makes its powerful teaching readily accessible to modern readers. Some will find its pages deeply soul-searching; others will be struck with the clarity of Owen's insight; all will find a work which wounds in order to heal. John Owen was a leading Puritan pastor and theologian who served as a chaplain to Oliver Cromwell and later as Dean of Christ Church in the University of Oxford. - Publisher.

Download or read book The Coming Apostasy written by Mark Hitchcock and published by Tyndale House Publishers, Inc.. This book was released on 2017 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are we on the verge of a great apostasy in the church? "For a time is coming when people will no longer listen to sound and wholesome teaching. They will follow their own desires and will look for teachers who will tell them whatever their itching ears want to hear. They will reject the truth and chase after myths." --2 Timothy 4:3-4 Jesus Christ is coming back. It is certainly a Christian's greatest hope during these difficult times. The Bible warns us that the last days will be tumultuous--wars and rumors of wars will spread (Matthew 24:6). In our age, the world seems to be spinning out of control, creating fear, confusion, and uncertainty. In addition to violence, pestilence, and epidemics, the Bible predicts a great "falling away" from God in the end times. Bible teachers call that "the great apostasy." Are we seeing evidence today in the church of this massive rejection of sound and wholesome teaching? Bestselling authors Mark Hitchcock and Jeff Kinley team up to examine the evidence from the teachers of our time. Are today's teachers allowing people to follow their own desires by telling them what they want to hear, as the Bible clearly predicts? Are major portions of the church ready to abandon sound and wholesome teaching? Together, Mark and Jeff explore alarming trends among today's church leaders and they are simply stunned by what they discover. The great apostasy is coming, but is it closer than we imagine? What does that mean for the future? Let Mark and Jeff be your steady guides to the difficult days ahead.
Download or read book Early Christians in Disarray written by Noel B. Reynolds and published by Maxwell Institute. This book was released on 2005 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book takes a fresh look at the apostasy of the early Christian church. Most Latter-day Saint scholars and leaders previously based their understanding of the Christian apostasy on the findings of Protestant scholars who provided a seemingly endless array of evidences of apostasy in Christian history. Since the classic treatments of this topic were written, many newly discovered manuscripts written during the first Christian centuries have come to light, giving a clearer picture of what the early Christian experience was like. Drawing on this material, LDS scholars today are able to shift the focus of study to the causes of the apostasy rather than the effects. This volume of essays reports new research by several LDS scholars in different fields. They identify common myths and misconceptions about the apostasy and promote better understanding of when and why the apostasy occurred.
Download or read book Apostasy written by Emeka Jude Icheku and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2020-08-19 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Apostasy as a subject is too critical that it cannot be over-emphasized, especially as the End Time will be marked by massive apostasy. A scripture-based understanding of the subject of apostasy is very critical to avoiding the danger that is inherent in the misinterpretation of the subject. The danger of misinterpreting any concept is that the body of doctrines we build on such misinterpretation becomes faulty. Faulty doctrines, particularly on this very critical subject can lead believers to think that apostasy is a sin like any other they can toy with, in the false belief that they will always have the grace to be restored after apostatizing. Hence, the question this book addresses is "Can an apostate can be restored to faith or not."Apostasy: Content and Consequence presents a simple, scripture-based description and explanation of apostasy, to distinguish it from, and also relate it to other Bible subjects that have been mistaken for apostasy. A major misunderstanding is that apostasy is backsliding. This book addresses this misconception by differentiating between apostasy and backsliding. Thus, it lays bare the necessary ingredients or components of apostasy.This book clearly draws a fine line between apostasy and blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. It presents an easy-to-understand description of blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, relate it to, and properly place it within the context of apostasy. Again, this book draws upon the law of marriage and divorce to clearly distinguish between the apostate and a backslider and their relationship with Christ. Thus, in addressing the subject of apostasy this book also discusses a number of other Bible themes that hitherto have been ignored or vaguely discussed. This book locates apostasy within the context of the supremacy and holiness of God who does not condone presumptuous or wilful idolatry. It explains the nexus of grace, repentance, forgiveness of sin, restoration, and man's agency. It also unveils cases of apostasy such as Lucifer, Adam, Aaron, Solomon and Judas.

What causes this, and could it happen to us?This book carefully identifies 12 major causes of apostasy from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and then examines how each symptom is treated in the scriptures and from the mouths of modern-day prophets.The author points out that apostasy can start in many ways. These causes range from the obvious such as Unrepented Sin to more subtle reasons such as Prosperity and Riches and Intellectual Superiority. the author then uses the words of the prophets to help the reader avoid succumbing to Satan's tactics in our day.Barry Thompson was concerned as he watched friends and family fall into periods of religious inactivity. He examined the lives of many of the early Saints who apostatized and the causes of apostasy as discussed by leaders of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He hopes this book will help readers in their quest to endure to the end.
