Heresy originally meant choice—placing personal opinion above God’s revealed truth. Throughout history, heresies have taken many forms, but they share a common root: redefining God, Christ, or salvation to fit human philosophy rather than Scripture.

From ancient Gnosticism and Arianism to modern process theology, heresy consistently undermines revelation, incarnation, and God’s authority. When man reshapes theology, truth erodes. Orthodoxy is not rigidity—it is faithfulness to the God who has spoken.

Modern religion often claims belief in God while rejecting His law. When pastors say Jesus had “no rules,” they replace God’s authority with human preference. A god without law makes no claim on our lives—and therefore changes nothing.

This antinomian faith breeds lawlessness. When obedience is grounded in feelings instead of God’s commandments, man dethrones God and enthrones himself. God is not dethroned in reality—only in man’s imagination. He still reigns, and the call remains: repent and submit to His rule.

All true knowledge begins with God. When man makes himself the final judge of truth—treating nature, reason, or experience as ultimate—knowledge collapses into meaninglessness. Apart from God, facts become brute and irrational, and reason has no foundation.

Scripture is clear: man cannot escape dependence on his Creator. Though he rebels morally, he remains under God’s law and government. Without God there is no knowledge—only confusion; with God, meaning and truth are possible.
