"Ravi Zacharias quoting the poet Byron captures this poignantly as he details the church’s drift away from truth as following three stages, “There are three stages in the declination of religion. Stage one heresy, where true God is worshiped with false worship. Stage two, idolatry, where false gods are worshiped while we suppose them to be true. Stage three, witchcraft, where we adore false gods knowing them to be wicked we still worship those false gods.”
