A CHRISTIAN VIEW

A CHRISTIAN VIEW
Apostasy seems synonymous with sinning against the Holy Spirit and can happen in any epoch. I delight in the scriptural references alluded to for they indicate the stopping of spiritual endurance.

Revelation 3:1-4 "To the angel of the church of Sardis write.....But you have a few people in Sardis who have not soiled their garments; and they will walk with Me in white, for they are worthy. He who overcomes will thus be clothed in white garments; and I will not erase his name from the book of life, and I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels


1 Timothy 4:1-3 But the Spirit explicitly says that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons, 2 by means of the hypocrisy of liars seared in their own conscience as with a branding iron, 3 men who forbid marriage and advocate abstaining from foods which God has created to be gratefully shared in by those who believe and know the truth.

Going beyond te written word is like branding burdens into our brother's flesh.
Soiling garments here connotes a sense of finality, and the erasure alludes to such as Judas,son of perdition. Erasure from the book of Life.Is it consistent with complete redemption of all the created worlds and annihilation of the wicked, is this a consistency also?
