Apostates Who Hate the Church of Christ

Dear Bro. John:
I was surfing the Net and chanced upon a site operated by former members of the church of Christ who now hate us. This really disturbs me. Are you familiar with it?

Dear Sherrie:
Yes, I am familiar with the site you mentioned. This is conducted by a handful of apostates who have left the church for either denominationalism, the world or even atheism and infidelity. Remember even in Jesus's day some went back and walked with him no more (John 6:66-68). There was Judas who betrayed him for money. Paul wrote of Demas who left because he loved this present evil world and Hymenaeus and Alexander, Phygelus and Hermogenes who had turned away (II Tim. 4:9; I Tim. 1:19-20; II Tim. 1:15). In the 21st century we still have such apostates with us. They have access to the Internet and express their hatred for the Lord's Church in their "Why I Am Not a Member of the Church of Christ" site. This just reminds us that Satan is real and successful in capturing and leading away captive some who once followed Christ (I Pet. 5:8). We must ever be sober and watchful for our own souls. We must not take seriously what is said by the bitter enemies of Christ and his church.

Sincerely,
