    Has Jesus Already Returned?

    I came across a Bible study group on Facebook that is trying to say that Jesus has already returned in the flesh, in secret, and the Second Coming in the clouds will be when Christ returns in the Spirit. I have never heard of this. I always understood that Jesus will return in the clouds of...

    Ecumenism: False Theology is False Spirituality (H.E. Metropolitan Serapion of S. California and Hawaii)

    "Some people say 'We just speak about spiritual subjects'. But actually there is no difference between spiritual subjects and theological subjects... We ought not to be deceived by all the calls for unity. All of us would like to be one, but on which basis?" - H.E. Metropolitan Serapion of...

    The United Church of Christ Supports Abortion!

    It is such a shame that the congregation in possession of one of the most beautiful churches in the United States, Old South Church in Boston, would engage in such ugliness: A Message after the SC Overturn of Roe v. Wade | Old South Church in Boston, MA This is in my view far worse than...

    Dogma, Heresy, and Modernity

    Personal Assent There are three basic positions that can be taken with respect to personal assent: assent, denial, and indifference. For example, consider the proposition, "It will rain tomorrow." We have three basic options: assent to the proposition and assert that it is true; deny the...

    Saint Javelin: Is it heresy?

    How 'Saint Javelin' raised over $1m for Ukraine I saw this, and I was wondering about whether this would constitute heresy? I know historically asking weapons to be blessed occurred, usually coupled with concepts of just wars or the like, but this is the Virgin Mary holding a rocket launcher...

    Orthodox Christians As The Victims Of Heretical Sects

    This originated as a reply to a thread, but grew a bit too large, so I made it a blog post. Indeed, it is true that Roman Pagans accused the early Christians of cannibalism, based on a misunderstanding of the Eucharist. Pagan accusations of gross sexual immorality were probably the result of...

    Joseph Murphy's "The Power of Your Subconscious Mind" - what's the deal?

    So, recently a new convert in our church has been raving about this book, but something about what little she told me about seems a bit suspect. I dislike being a heresy hunter, yet I don't wish to be undiscerning either. Anyone know if this book is doctrinally sound?

    How strict: St Ignatius Brianchaninov On Avoiding Those Books with False Teachings

    Unbelievably stupid book by Herbert W. Armstrong followers

    One of the hydra-like offshoots of the “Worldwide Church of God,” which is a non-Christian cult whose beliefs are Arian, Binitarian and Pneumatomacchian, has been advertising on a major Christian website ridiculous book about how to find “the true Church of God,” which I will not link to, lest...

    On Hierarchies: Strong, Weak, Good, Bad, and Ugly

    This started as a reply to @PloverWing in the thread on altar guilds, but as I continued to explore the question of church hierarchy I decided that this needed to be a new thread. I do beg your pardon, but I fear you inadvertently made me uncomfortable, because the way you quoted me in the...
