Are the fundamentals of Christianity still under attack today?
Yes, the truth of the fundamentals of Christianity remains under constant attack today. This opposition comes both from within Christendom and from without, echoing the satanic attacks that plagued the early church. The same struggle continues, so believers today experience a taste of what Paul described.
Les explains that even today the truth of the fundamentals of Christianity is under constant attack, from within Christendom and from without. He points back to Paul's day, when all the congregations Paul had founded in Asia turned away from him, and the gospel of grace and the knowledge of the mysteries were abandoned. Les sees this as satanic attack and marvels that but for the grace of God Christianity would never have gotten off the ground. He says we should thank the Lord it survived and that we have the Word of God, and we get a taste of what Paul was talking about.
This thou knowest, that all they which are in Asia be turned away from me; of whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes.
