... and with several listings of more examples of Heresy and heretical teachings:

The word heresy simply means an opinion or choice as a prerogative, those examples you gave of damnable opinions I agree with according to my opinion, because they do deny Christ. As we are to test the spirits, by the same spirit of faith, as it is written ....to see if they are of another authority. No one is saying that some opinions, do not deny Christ, making them damnable heresies, but there is a difference between those that deny Christ and those which confirm the words of Christ, as the foundation and pillar of absolute truth..

If all heresies/opinions were damnable, then these creeds that could reflect and confirm the word of Christ, would also be damnable.

2Pe 2:1 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.

You don't get to choose the working definition around here.

That's not my aim at all; my goal is the honor the faith of Christ, by the same spirit of faith, as it is written. I am not trying to change the definition, only establish it, by comparing the spiritual words of Christ, to the spiritual words of Christ, as we are commanded to do.

It's your board, you can work to find another definition that is more suitable to your taste, that your prerogative as a moderator, but to expect no dissensions arising from diversity of opinions and aims ? ?

Is the word "sect"(hairesis) paraphrased incorrectly and the movement in perhaps the third century to change it from a prerogative/choice to a law making, them who annulled the meaning, the mother of all opinions, a God honoring decision?

Those in a position of power routinely use their power/authority of defining heresy against those who challenge their authority, sometimes all the way to murder and war.

You can see that kind working and annulling of laws in history through out history, as it happened in the first century reformation it repeated itself in the fifteenth .

And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest,And desired of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he found any of this way, whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound unto Jerusalem. Act 9:1

History repeats itself because the nature of natural man does not change unless the Spirit of Christ, through the faith of Christ softens the heart of man making that a possibility, according to my opinion.

garee, you seem to be continually fussing over some "private interpretation" of your own about something which is less than plainly or fully stated.

A private interpretation, or a interpretation loosed from the word of God, as an accurate definition, which you refuse to acknowledge, for some reason or other?

Scripture gives a very plain and clearly definition of the word heresy(opinion), to include the definition of a damnable heresy, as an opinion that denies Christ by putting ones trust in men ,and not the word of God as the pillar and foundation of absolute truth..

Will you answer this question: Can you affirm any or all of the Creeds as stated, or not?

Not sure what creeds you are referring to? We can agree with creeds, but creeds are not laws, but are merely a summary of the perfect law of God. In the end of the matter they have no authority to produce a work of faith, according to the faith of Christ, which can help us decide which group of orthodoxy is in accordance with the word of God.

By the Apostle's creed the Catholic Church condemned other Christians according to their orthodoxy.

Creeds are more like rough drafts; of themselves they cannot be rightly divided, giving absolute truth as its foundation.

For instance I agree with the some creeds, but it does not define which sect a person comes from, and if they have another authority in respect to the faith of Christ, as the same spirit of faith, as that in which scripture is written by. The gospel of Christ is defined by the words of Christ; we did not receive inspired creeds, as the final authority and leave the defining of those creeds to men as a higher authority.

Because of that kind of heresy/opinion, the Spirit of Christ, sent the apotlsle Paul to the Roman sect and proclaimed what can happen when men have the faith of Christ (work of Christ) in respect to persons.and by doing so ultimately violate the first commandment.

Rom 1:25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

Because of its early origin, the Apostles creed does not address some Christian issues defined in the later Nicene and other Christian Creeds, and they are of no value when discussing dispensational view points, or eschatology issues, or how we arrive at a proper hermeneutics that could please God, as walking together, as two with God.

Those creeds give what is the standard interpretation of the basic doctrines by orthodox Christianity, and thus for this board.

But do you agree with what all the creeds say, in all particulars?

If not, what specifically do you disagree with?
