2 Timothy 3
1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
This is the great passage on apostacy. And here is the complate list of apostacies:
More From 2 Timothy 3
2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
This is a link to a really good web page on apostacy.
Some day I'd like to write about apostacy; it may be a worthy topic for consideration. But, not today....

KJV and Inerrancy and Harmony
Hebrews 1
1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
2 Timothy 3
16 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.
Thought On The Bible From A. C. Gaebelein, 1907:
The harmony which exists throughout the Bible, from Genesis to Revelation, is one of the strongest arguments for the plenary inspiration of the Scriptures. The unity which we find here is supernatural; it is divine. The inspired writers of the Bible cover a period of almost two thousand years, living in so many different ages and under different circumstances, yet all agree perfectly, and there is no clash of opinions. Such unity is a miracle. No human genius could produce it. There is nothing like it in all the literary products of men, and there will be nothing like it in the future. God spake at sundry times and in divers manners (Heb. 1: 1), and therefore all in this precious Book being God-breathed (2 Tim. 3 :16), must be a perfect, infallible whole. What an awful sin to criticise the Bible, to deny its inspiration, to put the Word of God which He has exalted above all His Name upon the same level with profane literature. Yet this is the common drift of our times.
I guess we should let Gaebelein have the final word on the Bible.

Apostasy (and Heresy)
2 Timothy 3
1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3 without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4 traitors, heady, high-minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5 having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
From Chafer's Systematic Theology (Vol 7)
An apostate is one who has first embraced some creed or doctrine and afterwards turned from it. Apostasy is a total departure from one's faith or religion; abandonment of creed and renunciation of religious obligation. On the other hand, heresy refers to a belief which is held in variance with standards or accepted features of doctrine.
Billy Graham And The Issue of Apostasy
I was going to write a couple of notes on Billy Graham. I read a couple of articles from Sword Of The Lord and the Way Of Life website about him. And I changed my mind about commenting on this issue. Above my pay grade. I will give some thought to how important this doctrine is in comparison to say salvation or reconciliation or justification.
