Ten Obstacles to Saving Faith: Introduction and Obstacle One

Rejection of God takes many forms:

After first embracing God and then turning away (apostasy)
A claim that one cannot know God (agnosticism)
A denial that God actually exists (atheism)
A worship of other gods (polytheism) made in the image of man (idolatry)
An outright defiance of God although one knows Him (rebellion)
The practice of the occult and cultism (Satanism)
The making of excuses for not embracing God by faith (self-will)
