Two Apostasies?
In this video and article, Richard discusses the idea of two apostasies. In the New Testament, much was said about a future falling away. As we look at history, we can see this effectively as two processes:
- A religious falling away, which ultimately culminated in the Reformation
- A secular falling away in the post-Reformation years, which has come about with the rise in materialism and the resulting rejection of God.
In order to survive this second apostasy, we are encouraged to practice the art of holiness.
