Apostasy (Part 3) The Exclusivity of the Apostasy


The Exclusivity of the Apostasy

That was the true Light, which lighteth every human that cometh into the world. [John 1]

 

The root cause of the falling away is a basic confusion as to what constitutes the authoritative divine word.  The Bible as a written, printed document states within its own pages that one must have a spirit of revelation to grasp its knowledge!  That is, by its own testimony, it cannot be understood apart from a spirit of revelation and of wisdom. [Ephesians 2]  When spiritually quickened, genuinely made alive; then it can be the living word of God to a person or meeting. But, to state that the printed book equals the divine word is a fatal departure from the primitive faith.

 

The antichrist spirit is further demonstrated in its restricted, elitist doctrine by its denial of a fundamental fact of genuine spirituality: that the Light is within every person in the world.  To miss this fact is to miss the foundation of true religion.  To say that only a subset of humanity (my kind of people?) have the Light is a critical error.  It is to depart at the most basic level from genuinely walking in the spirit.  If we misapprehend the divine goodness and witness at this critical juncture, then we will end up wandering very far from real faith.  We make ourselves susceptible to preachers of hate and division.
