Emergent church post-modernism, Mega-church liberalism, arminian politicism . . . is it worse now that ever? Are Biblical theologians just whining? Did Paul and Titus face worse heresies? Did Luther and Calvin?
Granted there are many whining theologians, but as far as the amount of heresies today, there has historically never been as many. Furthermore, never has there been a day when heresies were more deceptive, devisive, and destructive. Now, I say that not just because of current day examples, but because an exegesis of 2 Timothy chapter 3 reveals that deceivers will grow “worse.”
I believe that it is important that we face the fact that today’s heresies are the same heresies that have attacked the Scripture for centuries. They have just continued to morph and adapt to our defense of Scripture. The battle will be won today as in Timothy’s day with courageous, persistent men of integrity, preaching the Word, protecting the Church, and training faithful men who will be able to teach others also.

Well done brothers! I already looks better – more professional. A professional theological dawg pound! Excellent.
I agree and believe that the multiplication and intensifying of heretical beliefs in the church today is moving rapidly towards the culmination of all things. The new inclusivism is the one I believe is the most damaging and effectively silences the gospel in any church it infects. This also seems to be rapidly becoming national policy in America as well.
Funny how the only one excluded in inclusivism are dogmatic conservative Christians. I fear America may become a re-play of first century Rome, with conservative Christians being jailed for their beliefs.
After reading “City of God,” do you really think that there are more heresies out there? Or just the same thing all over again? Nothing new under the sun, brother. Augustine could have been live-blogging American culture.
