Subject: Did Jesus go to hell? |
Bible Note: NOTE TO SELF: As much as things change they remain the same. Not knowing history we are doomed to repeat it. Early Church Heresies Montanism (Late 2nd Century) Montanus began his career innocently enough through preaching a return to penance and fervor. His movement also emphasized the continuance of miraculous gifts, such as speaking in tongues and prophecy. However, he also claimed that his teachings were above those of the Church, and soon he began to teach Christ’s imminent return in his home town in Phrygia. There were also statements that Montanus himself either was, or at least specially spoke for, the Paraclete that Jesus had promised would come (in reality, the Holy Spirit). cut and pasted from: Catholic Answers |
