Church apostasy through about A.D. 300

A LOT OF CLAIMS ABOUT AN ANTI-CHRIST AND THE END OF TIME ARE BEING MADE.

1)    “The people who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.”
a)    In the second century some “millennial” ideas began to arise.
b)    In fact, about 2,000 years ago people were making the same kinds of claims being made now.

a)    Jesus did compare His return to the time of Noah (Mt. 24:38-39), but this is about all we know.
b)    Sin will be abundant when the Lord returns, but sin has abounded for a long, long time.

7)    Rather than a physical war in the middle east, God says we have a spiritual warfare (Eph. 6:10-17).
8)    We are citizens of a spiritual realm (Phil. 3:20).
9)    God says what matters most is spiritual transformation (Rom. 12:1-2).

AS CHURCH HISTORY PROGRESSED MORE ERRORS CAME (“ORIGINAL SIN”).

2)    Acts 2:38 – baptism requires repentance.
3)    Infants cannot grasp the idea of turning from sin.
4)    If a person has an infant “baptized,” ask how joyful the child was after he or she got wet (Acts 8:39)?
