Welcome to The Rapid Bull, Daily Edition, where we provide a quick biblical interpretations and applications.

01:12

This is a ministry of striving for eternity. So I was addressing yesterday the fact that there are sometimes people who make the claim that they used to be a

01:22

Christian, and they do this to claim that they have some form of authority when speaking on Christianity.

01:28

We talked yesterday about the fact that a Christian's ultimate authority is God and the

01:34

Bible. However, there is one key verse that I always bring up with someone. If someone says, I used to be a

01:39

Christian, I always turn to 1 John 2 .19. And it says, They went out from us, but they were not of us.

01:49

For if they had been of us, they would have continued with us.

01:54

But they went out, that it might be plain that they all were not of us.

02:02

The fact is that if they claim they used to be a Christian, then they believe what the

02:07

Bible says. And this verse says that if anyone leaves the Christian faith, quote -unquote faith that is, then it means that they were never of the faith.

02:17

They went out from among us to expose they were never one of us.

02:22

They were nothing more than hypocrites that stopped pretending. When someone claims they used to be a

02:29

Christian, what you know now is that they were once a hypocrite that stopped pretending.

02:35

They were someone that said they were a Christian when they were not a Christian. And they went out from among us to show the world and all of us that they were never one of us.
