Why are heretick so dangerous? Could it have connection to first Corinthians 3:3 and 3:4?. DICHOSTASIA in Greek means/ Divisions. Did these heretics establish denominations?. John 10:12, Jesus talks of difference between shepherds and hirelings? What's the difference??. I already know the answer. I'll let you work it out.
Hi A and
for_his_glory
I'm wondering if our new member, Anaphora, means one particular person that is a heretic,
or if she means a heretical teaching. Maybe she'll let us know.
If one person believes something heretical, I don't think there's too much to do about it.
It saddens me that the belief might be passed on, but hopefully, if a Christian knows some teachings of their faith, they'll know that the person is passing on a false belief.
If church teaches heresies, that's a different story for me, at least.
This means that a whole population is being taught something wrong.
For instance, the Assembly of God denomination teaches that we don't have the Holy Spirit unless we speak in tongues as proof. I don't speak in tongues - so am I not being accompanied by the Holy Spirit? Is He not dwelling within me to some degree or other?
So, yes, basically I think heresies could harm a person's faith.
Some more than others...
