Introduction to apostasy

This page contains links to subpages that address issues surrounding the doctrine of an apostasy from the Early Church established by Jesus and the apostles.

• Does the Bible predict that an apostasy would occur? FAIRWiki link
• Does the Bible show evidence that a tendency to apostasy was present even while the apostles were alive? FAIRWiki link
• Do the Early Church Fathers and other post-Biblical documents shed any light on the apostasy? FAIRWiki link
• Does a belief in a complete or universal apostasy mean there are no "real Christians" outside of the LDS Church? FAIRWiki link
• Is Jesus' teaching about "the gates of hell" prevailing against "the rock" inconsistent with a belief in a universal apostasy? FAIRWiki link
• Do other Christian denominations believe that no other church on earth is complete, or is this an arrogant belief assumed only by the "Mormons"? FAIRWiki link
