Apology How Not to Become a Heretic: A Practical Guide for Christians Who Want to Stay Faithful to the Gospel, (Paperback)

<p>The most dangerous heretic you will ever meet doesn't live in another church, or somewhere on the internet. He looks back at you from the mirror every morning.</p><p>Almost no one falls into heresy by deciding to believe a lie. People go astray the way sincere, intelligent, God-loving believers always have - by taking hold of a real truth and loving it so much that they pull it out of balance. Heresy, in the end, is simply truth that lost its balance: orthodoxy with the brakes cut.</p><p>How Not to Become a Heretic is a practical guide for ordinary Christians who want to stay faithful to the gospel. It is not a catalog of old errors to memorize, but a field guide to the mechanisms that lead earnest believers astray - and the habits of heart and mind that keep them steady. On every page it asks the question that matters more than "How is this false?" - "Why was this teaching attractive?" Because the lie that endangers you is never the one that repels you; it is the one that tastes sweet.</p><p>Warm, honest, and free of heretic-hunting, this book shows you: </p><ul><li>How heresies are really born - and the marks of dangerous theology</li><li>The hidden danger of spiritual pride</li><li>Seven practical defenses: reading the whole Bible, testing ideas by church history, telling the essential from the secondary, asking the right questions, and more</li><li>Ten warning signs that help you recognize trouble early</li><li>A step-by-step method for investigating any new teaching</li><li>What to do when you discover that you were wrong - without fear or self-condemnation</li></ul><p>Whether you are a new believer, a small-group leader, or simply someone who would rather love the truth than merely be right, this is a book to read slowly - and not alone.</p>
