Examples of heretical beliefs
Today, accusations of heresy are not as widespread as they once were, but some Christians may privately consider those of other denominations to be heretics.
Today, accusations of heresy are not as widespread as they once were, but some Christians may privately consider those of other denominations to be heretics.
Heretical beliefs often centre around certain topics, including the following:
*The nature of [[Jesus Christ|Christ]], ie whether he was both [[God]] and [[Man]], or one or the other, or something else entirely ([[Christology]]).
*The [[soul]], whether it exists and what happens to it after [[death]].
*What men have to do to enter [[Heaven]], eg whether [[faith]] alone is sufficient.
Today these questions may seem unimportant and difficult to answer one way or the other, but during the early centuries of the church, countless hours were devoted to [[Bible|Biblical]] study in search of the truth, and disagreements often led to ostracism, [[violence]] and [[persecution]].
