Heresy

I have seen worst heresies have been mentioned. Nothing wrong with the questions however I have seen "answers" that were not very scriptural. More reasonings and less scriptural.... when that happens, its heresy !! We are so entangled with human "reasonings". In 1 Corinthians 2:6, “but not the kind of wisdom that belongs to this world....” made me think. Wisdom by definition means quality of being wise; power of judging rightly and following the soundest course of action, based on knowledge, experience and understanding. What is a heresy? Harper’s Bible Dictionary Heresy, a term derived from the Greek word hairesis, originally an opinion or way of thinking. It was used as a designation of a sect, party, or philosophical school. It is used in this sense of the Sadducees and Pharisees in Acts 5:17 and 15:5. Later Christian usage (from late second century a.d.) understood ‘heresy’ to indicate deviation from the accepted teaching or practice of the dominant Christian community. Something of this sense may be found in the treatment of Christians as a ‘sect of the Nazarenes’ in Acts 24:5, 14 and 28:22, where Christianity is opposed by Jewish religious authorities. Paul used the word for an internal faction within the Christian community (Gal. 5:20; 1 Cor. 11:19). Heresies discussed in the past 2,000 years: Adoptionism - God granted Jesus powers and then adopted him as a Son. Albigenses - Reincarnation and two gods: one good and other evil. Apollinarianism - Jesus divine will overshadowed and replaced the human. Arianism - Jesus was a lesser, created being. Docetism - Jesus was divine, but only seemed to be human. Donatism - Validity of sacraments depends on character of the minister. Gnosticism - Dualism of good and bad and special knowledge for salvation. Kenosis - Jesus gave up some divine attributes while on earth. Modalism - God is one person in three modes. Monarchianism - God is one person. Monophysitism - Jesus had only one nature: divine. Nestorianism - Jesus was two persons. Patripassionism - The Father suffered on the cross Pelagianism - Man is unaffected by the fall and can keep all of God's laws. Socinianism - Denial of the Trinity. Jesus is a deified man. Tritheism - the Trinity is really three separate gods.
