Apostacy - After a repository search, there were very limited results. So I decided to upload this module. There are a few research links, though the majority of this module is in text form. The span of works are from 1608 to present. Found in Ac 21:21 ἀποστασία and 2Th 2:3 ἀποστασία (apostasía) Strong's Greek Dictionary 646.
What is apostasy?
It is a making shipwreck of the faith (1Ti 1:19). It is the heart’s departure from the living God (Heb 3:13). It is a returning to and being overcome by the world, after a previous escape from its pollutions through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ (2Pe 2:20). There are various steps that precede it. First, there is a looking back (Luk 9:62), like Lot’s wife, who though she had outwardly left Sodom, yet her heart was still there. Second, there is a drawing back (Heb 10:38): the requirements of Christ are too exacting to any longer appeal to the heart. Third, there is a turning back (Joh 6:66): the path of godliness is too narrow to suit the lustings of the flesh. Fourth, there is a falling back, which is fatal: “That they might go and fall backward, and be broken” (Isa 28:13).
A.W. Pink (1886-1952): Pastor, itinerate Bible teacher, author of Studies in the Scriptures and many books including his well-known The Sovereignty of God; born in Great Britain, immigrated to the U.S., and later returned to his homeland in 1934; born in Nottingham, England.
“Let us then be agreed of this notion of apostasy, which is evident: it is a falling off from the obedience that we owe to our rightful Lord.”—Thomas Manton
