How do christians view apostasy

[vorlon13]

I asked this question on another forum but there were not too many responses from christians so I thought I would repeat it here. I've referred to christians but only because that seems to be the majority of the theist population on this forum.

We have occassional stories of people leaving their religion and a particularly heartfelt account earlier today.

I was wondering whether reading these tales of indoctrination at an early age and then escape later in life if any christian members here relate to any of it? Do you ignore these people? What would you do if your child, who you had brought up strictly christian eventually rejected your god?

There is an ex-Christian forum where some Christians were affected by the testimonies and arguments of apostates. Eventually these Christians became apostates too.

Generally speaking, I think Christians do not listen to apostates. They assume that apostates are rebellious Christians who still believe in God but want to sin.

How can christians avoid listening to apostates ?

The pulpits are filled with them, the broadcast airwaves are jammed with their heresies. It is tough, if not impossible to overstate the ludicrous level of obsessive, chronic gullibility in the christian sphere. There is no resistance to apostasy, heretics and blasphemers are rife in the movement.

39,999 'christian' sects, denominations, and schisms are in FULL revolt from the Word of God.
