Good post C7, I mostly try to stay away from crossing another's belief. If I post about such a thing it will most likely be just one post. As long as they believe Christ die on the the cross for your sins and rose again and through him you can be saved.

If the Lord so instructs I will cross anothers belief, but I want to be sure that voice is not my own mind.

Heresy is a word that has been used alot of ways through the ages but I will give you what I believe the true meaning as a Christian

Heresy is divisions caused by doctrine or opinion in the followers of Christ

Kboy could give the translation if he wishes

Heresy is divisions caused by doctrine or opinion in the followers of Christ

This is almost a truth, however IMO needs modifying to be true. I would have it read, "caused by FALSE doctrine, or untrue opinions among the believers".
True doctrine never devided the body, false doctrine however does divide. There was no division among the early church as long as they held steadfastly unto the Apostled doctrine.
