The word Apostasy means to have abandoned, forsaken, departed from. The Apostle Paul warned the Church that there would be a "falling away" from the faith, and a time when people will not listen to sound doctrine. Only Christians can "fall away" from sound doctrine. The Church becomes Apostate by abandoning, forsaking, departing from sound Biblical doctrine.
It begins with the very pattern of the Christian Protestant Churches (Institutional Church System) which operates under a man-made hierarchy type of system, rather than by the Early Church pattern which the Lord intended for His Church to function under. Not doing it God's way will always lead to error.
Over the centuries a number of Biblical sound doctrines have become perverted in the Institutional Church which is now being taught as truth and accepted by Christians today.
I am talking about major doctrines that were meant to give Christians life and freedom in the Spirit, but certain major doctrines have become so perverted by the Institutional Church, that rather than give life and freedom in the Spirit to Christians, they put Christians in bondage and Christians do not even know that they have been put in bondage by these perverted doctrinal teachings.
Tragically, Christians today have no clue that Sunday after Sunday they are attending a Religious Institution which is functioning under an Apostate system. "COME OUT OF HER MY PEOPLE!"
On this website, I address a number of major Biblical doctrines that over the centuries have become perverted through the teachings of the Institutional Church.
