Gone

 (Pro 2:13 KJV) Who leave the paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways of darkness;

A Biblical truth that is stated here is that people can “leave” (5800) something called the “paths” (734) of “uprightness” (3476).  Most Christians would accept that because they have seen it.  The difference is in understanding what it means.  For the Calvinist it means that they were just going through the motions of conforming to church behavior.  They were never really saved in the first place.  To the Wesleyan it can mean that they have gone apostate, they have denied the faith and consciously left it.  

So?  We need to learn to accept that people can turn on us.  Whether they were really saved or not does not change the fact that they get a real joy from messing with God’s people.  Be aware.
