Heresies - Which Group Do You Fall Under? (http://www3.telus.net/trbrooks/lostbooks.htm)
Adoptionism - God granted Jesus powers and then adopted him as a Son.
Albigenses - Reincarnation and two gods: one good and other evil.
Apollinarianism - Jesus divine will overshadowed and replaced the human.
Arianism - Jesus was a lesser, created being.
Calvinism - There is evil created for a purpose for duality, creating (premaking) souls for hell and others to be saved before they could believe like robots. Total depravity is false because we are still made in God's image. Unconditional election and irresistible grace is unlawful because we are not robots. Limited atonement is not allowable because that would make God unrighteous.
Deism - The creator created, but He is not Jesus.
Ditheism - The doctrine of or belief in two equally powerful gods or of two original principles (as in Manicheism), one good and one evil; dualism.
Docetism - Jesus was divine, but only seemed to be human. He was a spirit but only seemed to have a body; in reality he cast no shadow and left no footprints (an attempt to marry Platonic thought with Christian beliefs, because the spirit was all-important to Plato).
Donatism - Validity of sacraments depends on character of the minister.
Dualism - A theory that considers reality to consist of two irreducible elements or modes (yin and yang) which rejects Jesus as being God since Jesus is not two wills or two modes.
Dualism ("Modified") - Since the powers of good and evil are unequal, and the evil power is merely tolerated by the good power, who turns all the acts of the evil power into eventual good. Calvinism may be seen as a form of "modified Dualism".
Dythelitism (see related Ditheism) - Jesus was an amalgaman of two beings with two wills, minds and personalities; rather than one will, one Person in the Godhead and with two natures-divine and human-when in the creation. This would make Jesus schizoid and bipolar, mechanical and impersonal with multiple-personality if it were true, so the dytheist is forced to make these wills agree in these two beings of this false Christ. Mormons play with fire and actually do something similar making God to be gods mechanically. These ideas are legalistic. Jesus now becomes a being with distinct wills instead of one will expressed in the human will and divine will when He is in creation. It is the doctrine of the largest systems in Christendom, not of God: the Roman Church, Eastern Church and some Protestant systems were rejected by the Church when the Third Council of Constantinople decided to be dytheistic (the sixth ecumenical council, in 681). It should be noted they never backed up their claim, never showed evidence from Scripture, but just assumed this opinion. Some non-Christians (dytheists or dythelitists) often accuse Christians of being monothelitists (Jesus having one will as both God and man when in creation), but Monoenergists (same view as monothelitists) do not accept this term, because Christians are not elitists nor dyists or diests. Mono (as in monotheism) means one God, not two gods or beings of Jesus in dythelitism.
Ebionites - You must be a Jew to follow Jesus.
Ecumenicalism – The idea that all divisions in Christendom are Christian.
Eutychianism - Holds that the human nature of Christ was essentially obliterated by the Divine, "dissolved like a drop of honey in the sea".
Gnosticism - Dualism of good and bad and special knowledge for salvation; an evil god created us (like Scientology or Thomasines new age) and the good and ultimate God, who allowed this creation by the evil god, comes to save. It holds that all physical matter is evil, the spirit was good, and only the intellectually enlightened could enjoy the benefits of religion. Gnostics found it hard to believe Jesus was both divine and human. Of course, John says he saw Jesus, talked with him and touched him-he knew Jesus was more than a mere spirit.
Incompatiblism (Libertarian) - An action cannot be both free and physically predetermined, rejecting God's infinite foreknowledge.
Infralapsarian - A calvinist god's decree of election is said to not have caused the fall (claims to not have directly cause the evil), but still caused the choice after the fall without first consideration of the choice of the person. To coerce the choice is itself evil, and to have to coerce the choice, the person must have been created evilly to be totally deprave, but to be totally deprave is to reject God's Word man remains in God's image.
Henotheism - Belief in one god without denying the existence of others.
Kaballah - Jesus is not God.
Kenosis - Jesus gave up some divine attributes while on earth.
Maltheism - There is no way that a benevolent omnipotent God would allow evil in the world, therefore, they reason, God is either not benevolent or not omnipotent.
Marcionites - God of the NT is not the same god of the OT.
Maronites - believe Mary was sinless as well as Jesus.
Miaphysitism (Henophysitism) - the two natures of Jesus are united in one nature without separation in heaven above or in creation (Non-Chalcedonians).
Modalism - God is one person in three modes.
Monarchianism - God is one person.
Monobipolism (681 AD) - Jesus has two wills, two minds, which leads to subordinationism within Jesus to Himself, like a bipolar war going on.
Monomanism - Jesus is not spirit with the Father in 3rd heaven, but the Father is spirit, but the Jesus is a man, instead of only being a man in creation.
Monophysitism - Jesus had only one nature: divine. Coptic, Syrian and Oriental Orthodox.
Montanism - Claiming Biblical tongues is gibberish babble (2nd century heresy), today called Pentecostalism.
Nestorianism - Jesus was two persons. Assyrian Church of the East.
Open Theism - Rejecting God's infinite foreknowledge of Him being all-knowing (omniscient).
Patripassionism - The Father suffered on the cross
Pelagianism - Man is unaffected by the fall and can keep all of God's laws.
Quaternity - 3 Persons of the Godhead plus Mary (Co-Redemptrix).
Socinianism - Denial of the Trinity. Jesus is a deified man.
Supralapsarian - A calvinist god's decree of election is said to have caused the fall (directly causing the evil) and caused the choice after the fall without first consideration of the choice of the person. To coerce the choice is also evil, and to have to coerce the choice, the person must have been created evilly to be totally deprave, but to be totally deprave is to reject God's Word man remains in God's image.
Swedenborgianism - God is one Person Jesus only, not 3 Persons. The Father is the Soul, the Son is the Body, and the Holy Spirit is the Activity of the One Divine Person. Rejects the Holy Spirit as the 3rd Person Personableness of God's life.
Theodicy - God is benevolent without consideration for His righteousness and holiness. A perfect God is not only good but also evil. God may intend evil and suffering as a test for humanity. Absolute evil is not actually real as in the Antichrist.
Thomasine - We all share divinity.
Tritheism - the Trinity is really three separate gods.
Unitarianism - the belief God exists in one person, not three, which denies the Trinity. It claims the humanity of Jesus, rather than his divinity and humanity.
What then is the correct teaching and way of God's salvation? It is called Monoenergism (Jesus has two natures and one will) + Synergism (man must fulfill the condition) + Monergism (God alone saves) + Monotheism (One God) + OSAS Arminian (God predestinates by foreknowing our free-choice: a conditional election, unlimited atonement, resistible grace, for preservation of the saints) + Soft-determinism Compatiblism (free-will and determinism are compatible; there are constraints and influences by God on us in our ability to choose which to us may be perceived as libertarian free-will because we don't know all God's working. There are some things He righteously does not disclose to us).
Often Christians are accused of as being Monothelitists when accusers accuse us of being elitists, and Fatalists when accusers accuse of God's infinite foreknowledge. Jesus had two natures: God and man, and He had one will, not two wills. Jesus was not bipolar. God predestinates by foreknowing (Rom. 8.29) our free-choice (see Abel's right offering and John 3.16) made in His image (Gen. 1.26,27): a conditional election, unlimited atonement, resistible grace, for preservation of the saints.
The accusation against this way of God is accusers say there is a schism between Jesus having two natures but only one will. What they didn't realize was Jesus, the 2nd Person of the Godhead, emptied Himself of His independent attributes to break into creation as both God and man with one will. When Jesus is in creation with His one will as both God and man, it is like putting on a suit to go into a meeting, but when He goes out of that meeting, He adorns His nature of holiness alone next to the right hand of the Father and at that point He is no longer a man since God is spirit in the eternity of the past, present and future. All 3 Persons of the Godhead are spirit. Another analogy would be like a spaceman going into outer space with his space suit on. The space man still has his one will, but while in space, he has on the outer covering of the space suit in the likeness of the flesh. He is able to keep God's (God the Father) will perfectly, because Jesus is still God while also being man.
God
The denial of the human nature of Christ is a denial of the true incarnation of the Word as a man. Without a true incarnation there can be no atonement of sin for mankind since it was not then a true man who died for our sins.
Swine and Dogs
Swine are those unsaved in Christendom (Kingdom of Heaven). Christendom has in it the body of Christ (the Church), but not all those in the Kingdom of Heaven are in the Church. Do not cast pearls (special experiences given by God) before the swine, who have the appearance of being clean on the outside with cloven hooves, but inside are dirty not chewing their cud; unregenerate and divisive. If a Christian can lose the rewards of the kingdom to come (Matt. 7.21) due to Rev. 22.18,19 and since the new city is only 1500 x 1500 miles, then how much more will happen to those that are fakes in Christendom!
Do not give what is holy (truths from God) unto dogs (non-believers). A dog neither parts the hoof (unclean outside), nor chews the cud (dirty inside). Not chewing cud means to have the food enter within you not prepared (discerned), that is, not cleansed by the chewing. Think of someone who gulps down their food or eats too fast. Though the hare does chew it cud in a unique way, it is unclean, because it does not part the hoof, meaning, walk right not too close to the world (Lev. 11.3-7,26; Deut. 14.6-8).
Couthful Sly & Liberal Theology
Experientially, these include people lost in ecumenicalism thoughts, and those that say they believe in Christ, but in the second breath will speak so contrary to the Word, disputing its authenticity; or have NO interest in the Bible, yet say they accept Christ just to sound righteous or appease while they call you a Bible thumper, when they themselves are really Bible bashers; they recommend starting a new movement or have many questions AGAINST the Bible, not sincerely seeking truth living as animals; and don't believe Christ will return, believing in some other god not of the cross or by the Spirit.
