1. limited inerrancy – the heretical claim that the Bible is only inerrant on matters of faith and morals, or on matters pertaining to salvation.

The Gospel of Barnabas is a book depicting the life of Jesus, and claiming to be by Jesus' disciple Barnabas, who in this work is one of the twelve apostles. Two manuscripts are known to have existed, both dated to the late 16th century and written respectively in Italian and in Spanish—although the Spanish manuscript is now lost, its text surviving only in a partial 18th-century transcript. Titus 2:3-8 ESV / 4 helpful votes Helpful Not Helpful. Older women likewise are to be reverent in behavior, not slanderers or slaves to much wine. They are to teach what is good, and so train the young women to love their husbands and children, to be self-controlled, pure, working at home, kind, and submissive to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be reviled. Mark 16:9-20 A highly controversial point in religious circles is whether Mark 16:9-20 is actually part of Scripture. Although it appears in the King James and New King James versions, many other translations either label this section as an appendix or leave it in the footnotes, as does the Revised Standard Version of the Bible.

Correct doctrine: total inspiration and total inerrancy | seven words on inerrancy

2. heresies on the Eucharist – there are several different common heresies on this Sacrament:
* the claim that Jesus is not physically present or not locally present in the Eucharist
* the claim that the molecules of bread and wine do not change at the consecration
* Jimmy Akin’s heresy claiming that the substances of bread and wine are annihilated: “cease to exist”, “return to nothing”, “ad nihilo … annihiliate”.
* the claim that the substances of bread and wine change into the whole human nature of Christ, or the whole person of Christ (both natures)

Correct doctrine: See these posts. The substance of bread changes into the substance of Christ’s body only; then the rest of his human nature becomes present by concomitancy, and the Divine Nature becomes present by the hypostatic union. Christ is physically present and locally present in the Eucharist, since the accidents of bread and wine are possessed by the substance of Christ’s body and blood. The molecules of bread and wine change in their substance, not in their accidents.

3. contraception – the heretical claim that contraception or abortifacient contraception becomes moral when done for a medical purpose or other good intention, or in dire circumstances.

Correct doctrine: See these posts. Contraception, abortifacient contraception, and abortion are each intrinsically evil and always gravely immoral.

4. abortion – the heretical claim that every abortion done for the purpose of saving the life of the mother is moral (or indirect).

Correct doctrine: direct abortion is intrinsically evil and always gravely immoral. Some abortions for the purpose of saving the life of the mother are direct and therefore always gravely immoral.

5. intrinsically evil acts – the heretical claim that an intrinsically evil act can be justified by a good intention or purpose, or by dire circumstances, or by other knowingly chosen acts.

Correct doctrine: intrinsically evil acts are always immoral, regardless of intention or circumstances.

6. marital sex – the heretical and perverse claim that Catholic spouses may engage in all manner of unnatural sexual acts, as long as they include an act of natural marital relations at some point. The typical form that this heresy takes is the claim that all sexual acts are permissible as long as the husband only climaxes within natural relations, and that the wife can climax at any time, even as a result of unnatural sexual acts.

Correct doctrine: To be moral, each and every sexual act must be marital, unitive, and procreative. All unnatural sexual acts are intrinsically evil and always gravely immoral, regardless of whether the act includes climax, and regardless of whether the act is accompanied by a moral act of natural marital relations.

7. Feeneyism and mitigated Feeneyism – Feeneyism is the heretical claim that only persons baptized with water can be saved. Mitigated Feeneyism is the heretical claim that baptism by desire and by blood is very limited, and might occur rarely, if at all.

Correct doctrine: “The universality of salvation means that it is granted not only to those who explicitly believe in Christ and have entered the Church. Since salvation is offered to all, it must be made concretely available to all.” [Pope Saint John Paul II, Redemptoris Missio, 10]. Every human person is offered salvation, in a way that is concretely available in the circumstances of their lives, whether it is baptism by water, by desire (implicitly or explicitly), or blood.

8. Restorationism, also called apocatastasis or universalism – the heretical claim that all human persons will be saved; the heretical claim that “perhaps” all human persons will be saved or that we may “reasonably hope” that all human persons will be saved. This heresy was held by Hans Urs von Balthasar, and is currently promoted by Bishop Robert Barron and Mark Shea, among others.

Correct doctrine: The Magisterium has repeatedly infallibly taught that not all human persons are saved, that not all human persons receive the salvific benefit of Christ’s sacrifice on the cross, that the General Resurrection includes the resurrection of reprobate human souls in Hell, and similar related teachings. Therefore, the Church has definitively taught that not all human persons will be saved.

9. Post-mortem second chance for salvation – the heretical claim that a person who dies unrepentant from actual mortal sin might receive an opportunity after death to repent and be saved.

Correct doctrine: The Magisterium infallibly teaches that every human person who dies unrepentant from actual mortal sin will be condemned to Hell forever. This teaching is found in Benedictus Deus (Pope Benedict 12th) and the Councils of Florence and Lyons II.

10. Only Christians are children of God – the heretical claim promoted by Mark Shea and Rachel Lu that only persons who receive the formal Sacrament of Baptism (with water) are children of God.

Correct doctrine: All human persons who are in the state of grace are children of God. The Council of Trent infallibly taught that not only persons who receive a baptism of water, but also those who receive a baptism of desire, are children of God.

11. an heretical Pope – the heretical claim that a valid Pope can fall into heresy or teach heresy, or that a valid Pope can become invalid. This claim is often accompanied by the false claim that some past Popes were heretics, committed heresy, or taught heresy.

Heretical Writingsrejected Scriptures Meaning

Correct doctrine: Just as Saint and Doctor of the Church Robert Bellarmine taught, it is heresy to claim that a Pope can teach heresy when he is defining a doctrine with an Ecumenical Council, and proximate to heresy to claim that he can fall into heresy or teach heresy at some other time.

12. predestination – the heretical claim that God, for mysterious reasons we cannot know, passes over or omits some persons from predestination to Heaven, and so they end up in Hell; in other words, their passive omission from predestination to Heaven implies they will be condemned to Hell.

Correct doctrine: “In predestination, however, (we believe) that God has determined only those things which He Himself either in His gratuitous mercy or in His just judgment would do…. in regard to evil men, however, we believe that God foreknew their malice, because it is from them, but that He did not predestine it, because it is not from Him. (We believe) that God, who sees all things, foreknew and predestined that their evil deserved the punishment which followed, because He is just….” [Denzinger 322; Council of Valence III]

“He knew [they] would perish, but He did not predestine that they would perish, because He is just; however, He predestined eternal punishment for them. And on account of this we speak of only one predestination of God, which pertains either to the gift of grace or to the retribution of justice.” [Denzinger 316; Council of Quiersy]

“Omnipotent God wishes all men without exception to be saved [1 Tim. 2:4 ] although not all will be saved. However, that certain ones are saved, is the gift of the One who saves; that certain ones perish, however, is the deserved punishment of those who perish.”
[Denzinger 318; Council of Quiersy]

The reasons, that some are saved and others are not saved, are known and understood through the teachings of the Church. The mercy of God offers salvation to all human persons. Before the fact of our sinfulness, God wills all to be saved. However, He gifts us with free will and He respects that gift. Those human persons who freely choose to commit actual mortal sin and who do not repent before death are justly punished. God foreknows their unrepentant grave sin, and so He predestines them to just punishment. But their condemnation to Hell is not due to a decision or omission by God, except to punish them justly because of their own free decisions.

Please take a look at this list of my books and booklets, and see if any topic interests you.

In a culture that has a hard time accepting the notion there are objective, transcendent truths about the nature of God, it’s sometimes hard to take a stand for what we believe without offending someone. Non-Christians aren’t the only people who get offended. The cultural acceptance of relativism (and pluralism) has already impacted the Church dramatically. “Doctrine” has become a dirty word. Many current theologians and Christian writers reject the claim any established doctrine of Christianity is objectively true. These thinkers and church leaders have been profoundly affected by the culture around them; those who refuse to relinquish the orthodox teachings of Christianity are seen as rigid fundamentalists. Some “postmodern” theologians believe all classic Christian claims are now up for negotiation:

“…the doctrine of the Trinity is still on the table. Some people, it seems to me, would like for us to no longer debate certain ‘sacred’ doctrines — the Trinity, the nature of Christ, the nature of scripture, the nature of marriage etc. And these persons tend to get very jumpy when emergent-types discuss these ‘sacrae doctrinae’, especially in books and at conferences that are being taped. ‘This is dangerous,’ they say. I say it’s dangerous to stop talking about these things, and it leads to a hegemony among those who already control the seminaries, colleges, magazines, radio stations, conferences, publishing houses, and magazines. We (Emergent Village) will continue to debate such things” (Tony Jones, from his Theoblogy Blog entry, “De Trinitate” – emphasis in the original).

It’s interesting to note the effort to seek and uphold the ancient, objective, Biblical truth is now seen as “hegemony” (the desire of those in authority to dominate and exercise control over others). The pursuit and defense of truth is now seen as oppressive, not only by unbelievers, but also by fellow believers. Christians today seem to have forgotten how important truth was to Jesus and to the first believers. Many current Christian teachers actually believe it is divisive for us to take a stand for truth at all, and they dislike being publicly rebuked for holding a position described as “un-Biblical”. But both John the Baptist and Jesus were quick to point out the false teaching of those around them, and they did so in a pointed and biting manner. Take for example, John’s public condemnation of the Pharisees on the shore of the Jordan River:

Matthew 3:7-9
Pc cleaner free download. But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming for baptism, he said to them, “You brood of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come? Therefore bring forth fruit in keeping with repentance; and do not suppose that you can say to yourselves,’ We have Abraham for our father’; for I say to you, that God is able from these stones to raise up children to Abraham.”

John sounds pretty bold to me. He had no problem calling people out for their beliefs. Was he being Godly? Was He following a Biblical model? One thing is certain: he was behaving in a manner consistent with Jesus. Look at how Jesus addressed the same group:

Matthew 12:34
“You brood of vipers, how can you, being evil, speak what is good? For the mouth speaks out of that which fills the heart.”

Both John and Jesus had no problem addressing false teaching and warning false teachers. Perhaps there is something we can learn about the importance of identifying what is true and addressing what is false:

We Should Call Out the Teacher By Name
We simply must identify those who are teaching error. Paul certainly had no problem doing this and he instructed those who followed him to do the very same thing. In these passages written to Timothy in Paul’s “pastoral” letter, Paul does not hesitate to name names. He publicly identifies false teachers and ungodly men so others can be warned:

2 Timothy 4:9-10
Make every effort to come to me soon; for Demas, having loved this present world, has deserted me and gone to Thessalonica

2 Timothy 1:15
You are aware of the fact that all who are in Asia turned away from me, among whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes.

1 Timothy 1:18-20
This command I entrust to you, Timothy, my son, in accordance with the prophecies previously made concerning you, that by them you may fight the good fight, keeping faith and a good conscience, which some have rejected and suffered shipwreck in regard to their faith. Among these are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have delivered over to Satan, so that they may be taught not to blaspheme.

We are called to (1) Identify false ideas, and (2) Publicly expose those who are either living by or teaching others these ideas.

We Should Describe the Teaching
We also need to be very articulate about what is false in the teaching of these false teachers. We need to take the time to describe the error. Paul also did this, even as he named the false teachers by name:

2 Timothy 2:16-18
But avoid worldly and empty chatter, for it will lead to further ungodliness, and their talk will spread like gangrene. Among them are Hymenaeus and Philetus, men who have gone astray from the truth saying that the resurrection has already taken place, and thus they upset the faith of some.

We are called to (1) Know the truth well enough to see the lie coming, and (2) Describe the lie to others so that they can be warned.

We Should Do All We Can to Silence the Teacher
In some ways the first two principles seem rather defensive, particularly when compared to the next set of principles which are a bit more aggressive and proactive when dealing with error. Paul asked his followers to do their best to stop false teaching by silencing the false teachers and denying them a platform from which to teach.

Titus 1:10-11
For there are many rebellious men, empty talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision, who must be silenced because they are upsetting whole families, teaching things they should not teach, for the sake of sordid gain.

2 John 9-11
Anyone who runs ahead and does not continue in the teaching of Christ does not have God; whoever continues in the teaching has both the Father and the Son. If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not take him into your house or welcome him. Anyone who welcomes him shares in his wicked work.

We are called to (1) Understand how false teaching impacts believers and their families, (2) Recognize the worldly motives of false teachers, and then (3) Do all we can to these teachers the platform from which they can spread the lie.

We Should Refute the Teaching
But what do we do about those who have already gained a foothold in the Christian community teaching false ideas and doctrines? How are we to respond once the error has already started to permeate the Church? Paul tells his followers that they are to refute the lies. They are to identify and demonstrate why the false teaching is false, and then replace this false teaching with the truth. They are to do this in an emphatic and strong manner:

Titus 1:7-9
Since an overseer is entrusted with God’s work, he must be blameless-not overbearing, not quick-tempered, not given to drunkenness, not violent, not pursuing dishonest gain. Rather he must be hospitable, one who loves what is good, who is self-controlled, upright, holy and disciplined. He must hold firmly to the trustworthy message as it has been taught, so that he can encourage others by sound doctrine and refute those who oppose it.

Titus 1:13
This testimony is true. For this cause reprove them severely that they may be sound in the faith…

We are called to (1) Identify doctrinal errors and describe their false nature, (2) Strongly correct teachers who teach this kind of error, and (3) Replace the errors by describing the Biblical truth of the orthodox Christian Worldview.

We Should Avoid Those Who Continue to Follow or Teach the Lies
Even though we may make a dedicated effort to identify, call out, and refute false teaching and false teachers, many may still decide to follow lies, particularly if some worldly desire can be satisfied by accepting a lie. How are we to live in regard to people who either teach falsely or live according to false views? Well, according to Paul, we are to avoid people like this:

Ephesians 5:11-14
Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them. For it is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret. But everything exposed by the light becomes visible, for it is light that makes everything visible.

Romans 16:17-18
Now I urge you, brethren, keep your eye on those who cause dissensions and hindrances contrary to the teaching which you learned, and turn away from them. For such men are slaves, not of our Lord Christ but of their own appetites; and by their smooth and flattering speech they deceive the hearts of the unsuspecting.

2 Thessalonians 3:6
Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you keep aloof from every brother who leads an unruly life and not according to the tradition which you received from us.

Titus 3:10-11
Reject a factious man after a first and second warning, knowing that such a man is perverted and is sinning, being self-condemned.

We are called to (1) Avoid those who have embraced false teaching, and (2) Warn and ultimately reject those who are false teachers. Paul is clear about how we are to treat those who are living according to false teaching. We are not to try to make peace with or embrace this kind of person or teaching. God calls us to separate from people who say they are Christians, but are following false teaching. That’s pretty severe, but it is what God clearly calls us to do if we are to take the words of Scripture seriously.

The Truth Matters to God
God is calling us to be very careful about Biblical truth. We must study the truth, then set careful boundaries so we will know when someone has crossed over into a lie or false teaching. God then wants us to deal strongly with those who are leading others astray. Why would God require us to be so harsh and judgmental? God calls His children to study, understand and defend the truth because the truth does matter to God. Faith, in and of itself, is not what God is looking for. It’s not enough to be sincere or intense. Faith, in and of itself, has no magic power. It’s a faithful, reasonable trust in the truth that matters to God. Trust placed in the correct and true God of the universe is what matters to God. That’s why God is so particular about truth and calls us to have an accurate understanding of who He is. And that’s why God has called us to treat heresy very seriously.
