The most damnable and pernicious heresy that has ever plagued the mind of man was the idea that somehow he could make himself good enough to deserve to live with an all-holy God. Martin Luther
Yes i do believe that this is what heresy is.
But i do not believe that 'each and every one of us is an heretic"
It's just not true and not biblical.
I hear that there be divisions among you; and I partly believe it.
For there must be also heresies among you,
that they which are approved may be made manifest among you
Sure I believe that, except substance lowers God to creation status i'll pick essence i suppose
I'd already made the point. Try reading it again, slower this time.(wink)and your point was?
God is Love,
What do you think love is?and you know Paul said .. one could possess all the knowledge about everything .. but not have love .. and it's nothing . a resounding gong . just some big talking head loud speaker . and so what?
The greatest commandment is to love God with all your heart, MIND, soul and strength.so you can intellectualize it all you want .
So it was written with the lense of eastern mysticism and pantheism that you seem so enthralled with?but western rationalism is not the lense the bible was written under
Yes, which is the correct one.Well according to the dictionary definition you are correct
By your own distinctive definition and application, not according to God's standard.and according to the applied definition i am correct .
The church still IS one body and there is only one teaching.The root word for heretic means "to choose"
the passage you quoted could only be fulfilled when the church was one body with one teaching . as we do not need to prove anything to God .
indeed we are all heretics .

Yep. People often choose their own doctrines because they want to believe it as such whether its true or not.

I guess i have to disagree with you once again, because I am not
any of the sects. I am a bible believing Christian and I embrace
all bible believing Christians.
Stop calling me an heretic k?
You say 'they".. you don't do the same?Yep. People often choose their own doctrines because they want to believe it as such whether its true or not.
Proneness to heresy is not confined to the cults. By our sinful nature, we are all heretics. People often unconsciously select for special attention certain Scriptures that they are familiar with that they forget to check to see the Scriptures for deeper study. Lack of balance scripturally is often the direct consequence of overemphasis on certain favorite passages while ignoring others that are related. We must hold on to the knowledge that all of us are heretics by nature and can never know redeeming truth till we are enlightened and convicted by the Holy Spirit through the Scriptures.

The Jezebel spirit comes out of the exteme prophetic, latter rain, dominionist groups. If you disagree with their doctrines and practices, instead of healthy debate, they accuse you of this and also of being a pharisee.Is the accusation of a Jezebel spirit a pentecostal thing?

That's alright. I am used to awkward and .. it's all i got man.Bible-believing is an awkward term.
You say 'they".. you don't do the same?

I'm referring to any group who believes we still operate in the "spiritual" things.
As i said, there are bad in any group and we avoid that as well as we can.
Yes, i did post that incorrectly lol.. and yeah, that is obvious.Well spiritually it is one body .
but there are many many teachings .
you are obviously wrong about the teachings part .
