Every Christian in every time and place is going to be tempted by certain forms of heresy. I'm sure I'm tempted by my own.
The only interesting ideas are heresies
Every sermon must contain a certain shot of heresy.
Natural history is not taught in seminary. This is curious, as most people in pastoral ministry are about 567 times more likely to be asked about cosmology or sub-nuclear physics or human biology or evolution than they are to be asked about irregular Greek verbs or the danger of the patripassionist heresy. If we monotheists are going to go around claiming that our "God made the heaven and the earth," it is not unreasonable to expect us to know something about what that heaven and earth actually are.
If we are attacked we can only defend ourselves with guns not with butter.
Orthodoxy on one side of the Pyrenees may be heresy on the other.
By identifying the new learning with heresy, you make orthodoxy synonymous with ignorance.
In History, stagnant waters, whether they be the stagnant waters of custom or those of despotism, harbour no life; life is dependent on the ripples created by a few eccentric individuals. In homage to that life & vitality, the community has to brave certain perils and must countenance a measure of heresy. One must live dangerously if one wants to live at all.
The Christian test was a willingness to believe in the one Jesus Christ and His Message of salvation. What was demanded was not criticism but credulity. The Church Fathers observed that in the realm of thought only heresy had a history.
Never think there is anything impossible for the soul. It is the greatest heresy to think so. If there is sin, this is the only sin; to say that you are weak, or others are weak.
Very few editors worry about heresy - their goals are much too commercial, thank goodness.
Heresy makes for progress.
Children are born optimists and we slowly educate them out of their heresy
Indeed heresies are themselves instigated by philosophy
In every age the church is threatened by heresy, and heresy is bound up in false doctrine. It is the desire of all heretics to minimize the importance of doctrine. When doctrine is minimized, heresy can exercise itself without restraint.
The opposite of faith is not heresy but indifference
All novelty in faith is a sure mark of heresy.
Ignorance is the Mother not of Devotion, but of Heresy.
The root of almost every schism and heresy from which the Christian Church has suffered, has been because of the effort of men to earn, rather than receive their salvation; and the reason preaching is so commonly ineffective is, that it often calls on people to work for God rather than letting God work through them.
There is a popular heresy abroad today which states that if a little is good, more is better. Following this dictum creates a life which is never fulfilling. Even while you are engaged in one rich experience you are looking about for another. There is no contentment because future plans are always intruding on the present.
