Are heretics people who bring a false gospel, the ones Jesus says not to have a conversation with , nor share a meal, nor invite them in to your home, lest it brings the same judgment , certain perfectly right judgement, as they themselves receive at God's Hand ?

Can I suggest looking up the word "heresy" and "heretic" in the bible. Here is a list of the word "heresy" Strong's Greek: 139. αἵρεσις (hairesis) -- Sect, faction, heresy and the one time the word heretic is used and is in direct context of the law: Sounds just like the Judaizers to me.
Titus 3:9But avoid foolish controversies, genealogies, dissensions, and quarrels about the law, for they are unprofitable and worthless. 10As for a person who stirs up division, after warning him once and then twice, have nothing more to do with him, 11knowing that such a person is warped and sinful; he is self-condemned.

What say you?

The web 'summary' seems proper/ accurate:
re Titus 3:9
"advises against engaging in "foolish controversies, genealogies, dissensions, and quarrels about the law" because they are "unprofitable and worthless". The verse is a directive from the Apostle Paul to Titus to avoid pointless disputes and debates that distract from the core message of the Gospel and cause unnecessary conflict within the church.

"Foolish controversies" and "quarrels about the law":
These refer to debates over legalistic interpretations of Jewish law that were becoming divisive in the early church.
"Genealogies":
This could refer to endless lists of names from the Old Testament or other myths and debates that were seen as a distraction from the main message of faith and salvation through Christ.
- "Unprofitable and worthless":
  The verse emphasizes that these kinds of disputes are a waste of time and energy that do not lead to spiritual growth or benefit the community.
- Context:
  The verse is part of a broader letter from Paul to Titus, who was leading the church on the island of Crete. Paul's instructions are about building a healthy, functional church community focused on sound doctrine and godly living. "

He doesn't come physically, but He still in His words "comes" I am coming quickly", "hold fast to what you have until I come," So, when He says that, what do you think He means.

This:

THE COMING OF THE LORD

The Bible's record of the Lord physically coming to the earth.

Or this, much longer:

If your talking physically that there's no "second coming", I completely agree as He didn't actually come physically the first time--He was born of a virgin here on earth, but He did come. The same with the "second coming", He doesn't come physically, but He still in His words "comes" I am coming quickly", "hold fast to what you have until I come," So, when He says that, what do you think He means.

I don't understand how you can say that He was born of a virgin, but that He didn't actually come physically the first time. If He didn't come physically, why does the bible say:

“And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.” (Joh 1:14 NKJV)

“And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifested in the flesh, Justified in the Spirit, Seen by angels, Preached among the Gentiles, Believed on in the world, Received up in glory.” (1Ti 3:16 NKJV)

How could a spiritually being be crucified?

As for His Second Coming, the angel told His disciples:

“Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven.”” (Ac 1:11 NKJV)

In other words, He didn't ascend invisibly, and He will not return invisibly.

Like it says, He ""became flesh", He didn't come already in the flesh.

That's not quite what it says. Did He disappear in a cloud first or did He go into heaven first?
Acts 1:9After He had said this, they watched as He was taken up, and a cloud hid Him from their sight. 10They were looking intently into the sky as He was going, when suddenly two men dressed in white stood beside them. 11“Men of Galilee,” they said, “why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen Him go into heaven.”
How did they see Him go into heaven? In a cloud. How will He return? In the clouds of heaven. Proof:
Matthew 24:30
Mark 14:62
Matthew 26:64

Is there any proof where it says He will return in the flesh? Certainly not that I'm aware of, in fact, just the opposite can be proven. Hebrews 5:7 7"In the days of his flesh", Jesus offered up prayers and supplications, with loud cries and tears, to him who was able to save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverence.
Here's a list of the phrase "in the days of" and you will find that it always confines something to a period of time.

Or:

This prophecy below is part of a series of prophecies from Isaiah about the nations Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon will conquer. Isaiah 19:1 The burden of Egypt. Behold, the LORD rides upon a swift cloud, and shall come into Egypt: and the idols of Egypt shall be moved at his presence, and the heart of Egypt shall melt in the midst of it.....4 And the Egyptians will I give over into the hand of a cruel lord; and a fierce king shall rule over them, says the Lord, the LORD of hosts.

I might add, just what kind of clouds are we talking about here? Wouldn't be the cloud that filled the tabernacle? Or the cloud that filled Solomon's temple when the priests were singing the praises of the Lord? Or the cloud that occasionally manifests every few decades at very spiritual church meetings?

.... (not yet that I agree with previous posts) ..... or a cloud of the redeemed , or a cloud of angels , or ? ..... branching out, not knowing yet ...... a cloud of words, a cloud of thoughts, a cloud of unknown ....

How about we stick with the types in the Bible.

hmmmm...... getting into shaky, often false, happenings ?

Jesus Christ is not the same yesterday, today and tomorrow? Notice I did not say all the time but used the word decades? But you certainly don't have to believe he would do that occasionally. I don't care. Don't obscure my point with it. That the verse in Acts may be talking about the cloud of the Holy Sprits power rather than rain clouds or clouds of Judgment.

He "became flesh" as soon as He was conceived by the Holy Spirit in Mary's womb. So when He came into the world, when He was born, He was already in the flesh. He could not have been born otherwise.

If His second coming is only spiritual, how will every eye see Him, as the bible says they will?
