Please understand that the enemy can only give that which it actually has/is. The enemy is the spirit of fear God is insufficient. That notion turned Lucifer, an angel in heaven, into the devil from hell. The devil knows it is, in itself, the way to be destroyed, and it wants to give mankind itself-the spirit of fear (error) that God is insufficient.
If we give place to the notion that God (or His ways) is insufficient, we take on the spirit of fear (error) and act accordingly by giving in to the will of our flesh that eagerly wants to take over in lust for that which we feel God is inadequate in satisfying.
Stated another way, the enemy wants us to fear God is insufficient to please us because it knows firsthand that is the way to be destroyed by God. The spirit of fear (error) causes us to resort to the workings of our flesh for security to combat the fear we feel that God or His ways (i.e., the Father or His will) is insufficient to satisfy us.
God is most definitely sufficient for each of us. Basically, the enemy twists things around to confuse us because it knows Jesus gave power over all the power of the enemy to His disciples.

From Websters 1828 dictionary,
Apostasy includes turning away from the Word of God (King James Bible) for some other version of the gospel, continuing in sin, and excusing oneself with cheap grace, to name a few.
The Word of God tells us about corruption we must avoid in these last days.
The Brethren,
The last times are here:
Yes, we are to avoid fake Christians and anyone preaching a false doctrine or gospel. The difficulty is, if you don't know the Word yourself, how will you discern good from evil? Will you rely on what others tell you, or repent and learn of Him yourself? He wants YOU to follow HIM, not others.
Repent and return to the Word. Like the parable of the wayward son, they left of their own accord and now they must repent and return of their own accord.
This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves,..Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
2 Timothy 3:1-5.
For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ.
2 Corinthians 2:17.
Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time. They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us:...
1 John 2:18.
Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;...
1 Timothy 4:1.
Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them. For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.
Romans 16:17-18.
Jesus said:
Behold, I give unto you power
to tread on serpents and scorpions, and
over all the power of the enemy: and
nothing shall by any means hurt you.
Luke 10:19.
The church of the "firstborn" will be taken out from the earth. The firstborn are the born again children of God. Before the end of time, the born again will be the firstborn in the kingdom of heaven, united with Christ Jesus in glory as one body wedded forever. We are in those days before the rapture.
Of course, a lot of people left behind will come to believe. They missed the rapture and must persevere until the end, enduring much more harrowing times than these as the enemy will be in control and most people left behind are the enemy's servants.
