What does the Bible say about heresy?

Answered in 16 sources

The Bible defines heresy as beliefs that contradict established truths, as seen when Paul mentions worshiping God in the way they call heresy.

In Acts 24, Paul speaks of the worship of God after the manner they call heresy, indicating that heresy is often seen as contrary to popular belief. The term 'heresy' refers to beliefs or opinions that diverge from what is commonly accepted, especially within religious contexts. In essence, true worship and doctrine often find themselves opposed to the majority's beliefs, particularly when they glorify God over man's pride and self-righteousness. This situation is not new; through the scriptures, examples such as Daniel and his refusal to worship false idols demonstrate that standing for God's truth often leads to accusations of heresy.
