Those Appealing Apostates
The best definition I ever heard of an apostate was, “One who has heard, received, and embraced the truth, only to reject it later on,” (Heb.6:4-6). No enlightened Christian would deny our age is characterized by apostasy. Our churches until recently were filled with “Sham Saints” who are excellent imitators and counterfeiters of the real thing. Yet the scriptures describe them as, “…children of the devil.” But now their numbers are growing at such a rapid pace that they are starting to meet at their own place of worship, “…the synagogue of Satan.” Jesus said of them that they would go to any length to make one convert, but after he or she is made, they’re twofold more a child of hell than the apostate themselves. These people “…say they are…and are not.” They have “…changed the truth of God into a lie.” Because they have rejected God, God rejects them. We are told, “And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie.” If you will not believe the truth, God will allow you to believe a lie! The natural process and end product of an apostate is that they ultimately become dupes of destructive delusions. What makes the apostate leader so appealing to the natural person is that he or she is told by the guru they can be their own God, do whatever they want, and better themselves by their own human effort. They fall for the same old line Eve fell for: “…ye shall be as gods.”
