Marcionism
How could the God who commanded adulterers to be stoned be reconciled with the God who let them go free? This was overcome by postulating the existence of two gods. Marcion concluded that the tyrannical Creator-God of the Old Testament, Yahweh, was in opposition to the merciful and loving God of the New Testament.
Merry Christmas!

You are right, there are no new heresies.
Last year I had an 8th grader approach me with what he thought was a novel way of thinking about God. He was very disappointed when I told him it was a heresy which was over a thousand years old. I just wish I had been able to remember the name of it.
Anyway, I am glad to have found your blog. Keep up the good work.
Thanks!
This makes me wish that homilies were recorded/published by their parish so we (or the pastor) could talk to the homilist about where the homily went off the rails.
I'm researching and will publish soon a concise list of common heresies.
Dust of the Time, an excellent blog, wrote on kenosis recently as it relates to Christ the Lord Out of Egypt, the book by Anne Rice.
