Because believers made it reprehensible; it really is not.

Disbelief in general is looked down upon.
Apostasy from the true belief is not always the worst type of disbelief but its seen as ugly to disbelieve after having believed in the true belief.

No, no longer what we do, yet in basic terms that we are the actual physique of Christ using fact we are interior the dominion of God, yet we've an legal duty to maintain abiding in Christ. Being area of the physique of Christ is meant to intend a appropriate oneness with Him. the perfect oneness won't come till we see him while we die, even however there are people who've long previous into the Holy of Holies and journey a incredible oneness with the Lord there. Jesus is Lord of all!!!

Because it explicitly implies that the people using the term have been judged to be in error by the apostate. Religious people who use the term "apostate" generally don't take kindly to people who reject their opinions.
I think it interesting that Muslims who apostasize are supposed to be executed. There was a case in Afghanistan of a man who converted to christianity who was going to be executed until the U.S. applied pressure and the Afghan government backed off.

Depends on what you apostasize from. lol The Jehovah's Witnesses consider me an apostate because I left them as soon as I was old enough to get out from under my parents' roof. Now I have my own ministry to people who want to break out of the cults. In this sense, I am PROUD to be an apostate!!!!
