Six Basic Heresies
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SIX BASIC HERESIES REGARDING THE PERSON OF CHRIST
EBIONISM - Denies the genuineness of Jesus' deity
ARIANISM - Denies the completeness of Jesus' deity
DOCETISM - Denies the genuniness of Jesus' humanity
APOLLINARIANISM - Denies the completeness of Jesus' humanity
NESTORIANISM - Divides Jesus into two persons
EUTYCHIANISM - Declares Jesus had only one nature
All of these views are false and are condemned as heresies. I am posting this short list in order to stir some interest.
2 Timothy 2:15 (KJV) Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of
truth.

But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there
will be false teachers among you. They will secretly bring in
destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, and
will bring swift destruction on themselves (2 Peter 2:1).
