1 | What qualifies as "heresy"? | 2 Pet 3:9 | Searcher56 | 81361 | ||
This topic Has been discussed before ... Use Quick Search Sctipture ... Acts 15:24; 2 Cor 11:4; Gal 1:7, 2:4; Tit 3:10-11; 2 Jo 1:10-11; Rev 2:2 ... While "heresy" doesn't appear in the Bible, these passages are used by some to identify heresy, along with Deuteronomy 13, 2 Peter 2 and Jude 1. I think it is anything that is contrary to the Bible. Both sides use the Bible to prove there point ... so is that heresy? I think it is more eisgesis (sp). Searcher |

2 | What constitutes "heresy"? | 2 Pet 3:9 | Reformer Joe | 81365 | ||
"This topic Has been discussed before ..." Could you point me to a specific post where my question was answered? Specifically, where has EdB clarified what he means by heresy in such a way that historic, Reformational, Protestant theology fits; but in a way that modern Pentacostalism and pretribulational dispensationalism does not? Thanks. "I think it is anything that is contrary to the Bible." Do you not think it possible that any of your beliefs (down to the tinest detail) might be actually contrary to Scripture? Assuming that you allow yourself even the slightest margin for error, do you consider yourself a heretic? "Both sides use the Bible to prove there point ... so is that heresy? I think it is more eisgesis (sp)." I agree, but "eisegesis" was not the term that was employed. "Heresy" was. So I continue to ask, what is the line between minor doctrinal error (or even significant disagreement within Christian orthodoxy) and heresy? --Joe! |

3 | What constitutes "heresy"? | 2 Pet 3:9 | Searcher56 | 81367 | ||
Joe, 1. I choose not to spend the time to look up your specific question on heresy. People can deine it the way they want. 2. If I am shown I am in error, according to the Bibe, I must change, or I am a heretic. Unless, I have my own sounf Biblical support. 3. "Minor doctrinal error (or even significant disagreement within Christian orthodoxy)" usually is eisegesis not heresy. Tho the opposite camp would say it is heresy. Searcher |

"1. I choose not to spend the time to look up your specific question on heresy." That's okay; the question was specifically addressed to someone else, anyway. Unless you are a mind-reader or actually had seen the answer somewhere in the archives, it would be impossible for you to answer. "People can deine it the way they want." If that were true, nothing could ever be definitively called heresy, and the term would be nothing more than an empty insult. "2. If I am shown I am in error, according to the Bibe, I must change, or I am a heretic." So are infant baptizers heretics? What about tongues-speakers? Those who worship on Saturdays? Those who say there will be no "Left Behind" scenario? What about those who think the Prayer of Jabez is nothing but a bunch of pop Christianity fluff? Those who say "trespasses" rather than "debts"? Those who think that tithing is biblical for today? Those who think that it is unbiblical to radically distinguish between OT Israel and the church? You likely side on one side or the other on these issues. So are you the heretic (bringing up sections of Scripture to support your position) or the one who disagrees with you (bringing up sections of Scripture to support his position)? "Unless, I have my own sounf Biblical support." So are you saying, then, that it is possible that two people in disagreement over an issue can each have at least a fair amount of biblical support? "3. "Minor doctrinal error (or even significant disagreement within Christian orthodoxy)" usually is eisegesis not heresy." It is never heresy, since "heresy" and "orthodoxy" are mutually exclusive opposites. My question, once more (for the person who used the term "heresy" in the first place) is where orthodoxy ends and heresy begins in such a way that the Protestant Reformers are heretics but dispensationalists and Pentecostals/charismatics are not. --Joe! |

5 | What constitutes "heresy"? | 2 Pet 3:9 | Searcher56 | 81407 | ||
Joe, I understand the question may have been directed to someone else. But, I wanted to suggest eisegesis not heresy is the reason for the differences. Searcher PS You may need to repost your question, link it to the person and use their name. |
