How do christians view apostasy

[StealthySkeptic]

There is a difference between having a knowledge of God and knowing God.

Indeed. If the Bible is to be used as a literary guide, knowing God would require you to have sex with him.

Well, I'll stay an atheist then, thank you very much.

Dyre, the spread of Christianity by the sword was in direct opposition to God and God is not fooled.
The tyrants are still here, hiding behind purple and gold.
There has been no repentance from them- there will be no forgiveness to them.
God is not mocked, neither is God stupid or forgetful.
They can call themselves Christian all they want. Liars they are-every one of them.
