Category Apostasy & False Teaching

“Apostasy” is the condition of having rebelled against God’s Truth as revealed in His Holy Word. Apostasy in the church is the false teaching that results from a rejection or manipulation of the Bible in favour of one’s own preferences. The apostles warned the first-century church to beware of apostates; those who abandoned the Truth of Christ for other doctrines. The false teachings then were as diverse as the present day, incorporating humanism, Gnosticism, and paganism in its many presentations. As the article list grows, many of the modern appearances of these false teachings will be addressed.

False Prophets

1 Kings 13:12-24

Many modern, self-professed prophets and teachers are showing up and telling the church that God told them something quite different from what His word clearly says. Claiming the title “pastor” and having attended a Bible school or seminary, they present themselves as authorities on behalf of God. As Satan in the Garden, they begin with, “Yea, hath God said…”[1]. When the unlearned believer responds, “Yes He did,” these teachers reply, “It is not so.”[2]

According to these liars, Christ did not die to pay the penalty for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures[3] but set the ultimate example of “non-violent resistance of the evil empire”...

Either Jesus is Who He Says or Jesus is a Fraud

The thing is, you either believe Him or you don’t. You can’t say Jesus was a good teacher, a nice man, or a good example while refusing to accept what He said. Either He is indeed a good teacher, a nice man, and a good example Who spoke the truth, or He is a liar, and if a liar, He cannot be either a good teacher, a nice man, or a good example; Liars are not good people nor are they wise teachers.

Jesus did not contradict John the Baptist when he declared Jesus to be the Lamb of God Who takes away the sin of the world. He did not correct him when His older cousin John declared Jesus to have lived before John, despite John having being conceived months before Jesus. How could a man conceived and born after have existed before?

Did Jesus come down from heaven as He told the people? If n...

The Bible

The Bible claims to be the inspired Word of God. Within it’s pages we learn Who God is, and what God is like. We learn about His activities, His character, and His purpose for His Creation. We also learn about the origin of the universe, and more specifically the orgin of the human race. The Bible is divided into two main sections referred to as the Old Testament and the New Testament.

The Old Testament is an historical account of first things, earliest humanity, the development and progress of God’s chosen people Israel, and the nations and kingdoms with which they interacted...

A Summary of Calvinism

A sovereign, all-powerful God in eternity before time planned how he would create a being almost as smart and powerful as himself, for the purpose of overthrowing him to prove God greater.

 To ensure this, he willed and caused this being to rebel against his authority, to deliberately entice God’s favourite and particular creation to also rebel and reject God’s favour, beginning a struggle that would span all time, and end with an eternity of men in perpetual, relentless torment as the condemnation for their rebellion. He purposed and caused not only the rebellion of the first being, but also that of his particular creation, man, and the concurrent destructive effect on both the function and character of all the rest of his creation.

 To show himself merciful and gracious, he would n...
