2. A godless man; one who disregards his duty to God.
3. One who disbelieves or denies the existence of a God, or supreme intelligent Being.

ATHEISM is simply a rejection of the assertion that there is a God.
Read ROMANS 1:18-32

2 Timothy 3:5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

1 Corinthians 1:20 Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?

2 Thessalonians 2:11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:

John tells what will happen to this false prophet:
Revelation 19:20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
Revelation 20:10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

But until we go to be with the Lord, by death or Rapture we do need to be wary of FALSE Teacher, Prophets, and Brethren. These will deny the life, death, burial, resurrection and ascension of the LORD JESUS CHRIST. These prove that HE was/is God.

Peter also warned the Jews scattered abroad of false prophets and teachers, teaching the law not belief in the name of the Lord Jesus (Acts 4:12):
2 Peter 2:1 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
John in his first epistle also warned of false prophets;
1 John 4:1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
Also, in his second epistle he warns of deceivers and how to identify them:
2 John 1:7 For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.
And he writes how to deal with them:
2 John 1:10 If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:
John writing in Revelation about the time of Tribulation tells of Satan and a false prophet (a deceiver):
Revelation 12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
Revelation 13:14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
Revelation 16:13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.

Now believers will not have to be concerned with this individual, WE will already be in Heaven as the Rapture has already happened before the Tribulation (7 years of Jacob) began. (See Article on the Rapture).

As Barnabas and Saul set out on their 1st missionary journey to encourage Jews who had been scattered throughout the Roman kingdom, they encountered a false prophet:
Acts 13:6 And when they had gone through the isle unto Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Barjesus:
So Saul (Paul) had first hand dealings with false prophets. and later in a letter to Corinth, he spoke of the perils he had among many false brethren:
2 Corinthians 11:26 In journeyings often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, … in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren;
Paul continued to warn of false prophets, teachers as he wrote his epistles:
2 Corinthians 11:13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.
Galatians 2:4 And that because of false brethren unawares brought in, who came in privily to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might…
1 Timothy 1:7 Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm.
2 Timothy 4:3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
Paul warns to be wary of vain talkers and deceivers (specially Jews):
Ephesians 4:14 That we henceforth be no more children,not tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;
Ephesians 5:6 Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.
2 Thessalonians 2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
Titus 1:10 For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision:
Paul warned of those who were preaching ANOTHER gospel:
2 Corinthians 11:4 For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.
Galatians 1:6 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:
The true and only Gospel was taught by Paul:
1 Corinthians 15:1-5 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

Genesis 10:10 And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.
Genesis 11:9 Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.

Defination: the action or fact of talking rapidly and continuously in a foolish, excited, or incomprehensible way.

Proverbs 23:29 Who hath woe? who hath sorrow? who hath contentions? who hath babbling? who hath wounds without cause? who hath redness of eyes?
Ecclesiastes 10:11 Surely the serpent will bite without enchantment; and a babbler is no better.

The “WISE” men of Paul’s day considered him a babble when he presented them with the way of salvation “Death, burial and resurrection of the Lord Jesus”. But history has proven they were the Babblers.
Acts 17:18 Then certain philosophers of the Epicureans, and of the Stoicks, encountered him. And some said, What will this babbler say? other some, He seemeth to be a setter forth of strange gods: because he preached unto them Jesus, and the resurrection.

The Apostle Paul warned Timothy to avoid, shun profane and vain babblings.
1 Timothy 6:20 O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called:
2 Timothy 2:16 But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.

And we too should avoid and shun these vain babblings as they come from many pulpits today, as they deny the “Death, burial and resurrection of the Lord Jesus”.

Historically, backsliding was considered a trait of the Biblical Israel which would turn from the Abrahamic God to follow idols. 

Proverbs 14:14 The backslider in heart shall be filled with his own ways: and a good man [shall be satisfied] from himself.

Jeremiah warned Israel about this condition.

Jeremiah 2:19, 3:6, 3:8, 3:11-12, 3:14, 3:22, 5:6, 8:5, 14:7, 31:22, 49:4

Hosea also sounded the warning to the Nation of Israel.

Hosea 4:16, 11:7, 14:4

The word Backslider does not appear in the New Testament.

The apostle Paul warned the believers in the church of Galatia not to try to follow the LAW for salvation.

Galatians 3:1-3 O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you?  This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?  Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?

Galatians 3:9-13 So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham. For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them. But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith. And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them. Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:
