Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can [...]

CHAPTER 6     Heresies and False doctrines arose.  Heresies are nothing new…as False doctrines arose;     In the days of the Apostles.  Brief description of: Legalism (Galatians) There were those teaching that you had to be “Jewish” before you could become a Christian and thus the Laws of the Temple applied (not the laws of God – the Ten Commandments.) Asceticism (Colossians) There were those who were teaching a exercise or training which went beyond the teachings of Christ.  Some of the ascetic practices included a renunciation of marriage, home, and property.  As well there were extreme forms of [...]
