Featured On Heresy

We need a reality check here.

In another thread I used the word "heresy" to indicate that there are doctrines that are within Christianity but are of a substantial difference to cause and maintain division within Christian groups, denominations, and congregations.

@Martin Marprelate accused me of using a “secular definition” of heresy as opposed to a “biblical definition”. I was just trying to use the English word. But he is right. I was using the word according to its definition (its “secular” definition) and not reaching back to for some obscure or biblical meaning. I meant the English word - the "dictionary definition" - (not a French, Latin, Greek or Kinglon form of a base word).


BUT by saying I am using a “secular definition” rather than a “biblical definition” @Martin Marprelate has also shown that he is being dishonest about the context of my post. He KNOWS what I was saying but object's to my use of a "secular definition" and provides his own definition. This is not honest discussion. This is the de-contextualization of my words to reconstruct them in another context in order to be offended and complain. It is wrong.


@InTheLight is right, it is obvious that this clique of Calvinists on the BB are offended by just about anything I say. The reason is because they are less than honest with what I do say.

Look, I am not the most articulate and certainly not the most politically correct. I say enough stupid stuff that there is no need to make stuff up about what I do say.

 

I agree. Heresy is "unorthodox" doctrine. That was my point to @Martin Marprelate when he made those accusations against me. Typically it is "unorthodox" to Catholic doctrine, but I think it can be applied (by definition) to other sects and groups.

 

I'm not sure how it is here on the SC GA line (I have been here a couple of years but have not noticed). So here could be like @Revmitchell 's experience.

But the Nashville area certainly was more like you saw in CO. I remember a preacher simply saying that God is in control. A man stood up and said "but not against our will"....lol.

 

Oh Oh Oh.....I got it.....and actually reference it often.

Us heretics have to know what we are up against.

 

Many of the doctrines we have today were reactionary as products of the earlier churches addressing and working through heresies.
