What is heresy?

In the early church when religion mixed with politics, power and false dignity blinded some to truth in the Word. Anyone living, telling, teaching, or even acting like they would preach in this way, were taken and tried for heresy. Or, to put it in laymens terms. They were tried for not believing like they did. Some had chosen a simpler way that didn't require much of them. But then there were the true and the genuine children of God. They knew it would cost their opinion, their honor, their popularity, or even their lives. But that didn't matter because they were following the example of Jesus. They knew their reward was waiting for them on the other side of glory. Thank God for believers that kept the faith down through the years, despite the cries of "Heresy!". Heresy derives from a Greek word meaning to take, or to hold. It is speaking of holding false ideas about a religion. Or, unorthodox, or , wrong opinion. The church has always had those that would be liberal and did not want anyone else to be less liberal. It would make their sin or liberality look bad. The light would be on them. So there have always been naysayers, people that would disagree just because they didn't want anyone to see their lack of discernment. Heresy is still alive in the fabric of our world today. There are those that could not stand for prayer to be in school, or the ten commandments, then there is the issue of who has rights and who doesn't. It is all political but it has an underline spiritual side, unseen at first glance. But if the eye would behold the hidden agenda and the marks of ones heart. We would find the true heresy. Our churches are being bombarded by propaganda, and lies. Our Senate is no longer run by a God fearing committee. Our society as a whole is plunging deeper into sin. As the days get darker, spiritually, we need more people to stand up and say enough is enough. We want our schools back. We want our cities back. We want our government back. One person could not do it, but one person at a time can. And we will. Join me. Leave your opinion. Let me know what you think. Pass it on. Be blessed. Thanks
