What is Heresy?

What Makes Someone a Heretic? (And What Doesn’t)
Is heresy just a theological mistake… or something far more serious? In this episode, we’ll explore one of the most misunderstood words in Christianity.

We trace the idea of heresy from its origins to its use in church history and its role today. We’ll look at how the Bible uses the word hairesis, how the apostles confronted false teaching, how the early church defended core doctrine, and how the Middle Ages sometimes twisted the term into a weapon of power. Finally, we’ll ask: Does heresy still matter in the modern church?

If this video helps you think more clearly about truth and false teaching, consider subscribing and joining the conversation. Let’s pursue truth together, with knowledge, humility, and love.
