In your view when did this "apostasy" begin? With the disciple Thomas?
John 20:
26 And after eight days His disciples were again inside, and Thomas with them. Jesus came, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, “Peace to you!” 27 Then He said to Thomas, “Reach your finger here, and look at My hands; and reach your hand here, and put it into My side. Do not be unbelieving, but believing.” 28 And Thomas answered and said to Him, “My Lord and my God!”
A good question for Fabian to be sure.
I'd still like to know what this "deep reason" he believes there is for people's belief that Jesus is God.I doubt fabian is saying the reason people have for such "aposasy" is Scripture. Unless you claim the Scripture redleghunter provided is "apostasy". Do you fabian?
I doubt you do. Or you won't say you do. Regardless, I'm still curious: what is this "deep reason" apparently many have for believing Jesus is God?
