I see a sin as being an inherently evil act. I see heresy as being a choice inherently against against God. | |

GitHub STOP HELPING ICE | My sense of "heresy" is that it refers to making doctrinal claims contrary to the established religious authority's interpretation of doctrine - it's most commonly applied to splinter sects of a religion, and neither those "guilty" of it nor impartial observers see themselves as "disobedient to god" but rather disobedient to an earthly religious authority. | |
| Jul 10, 2019 at 15:26 | comment | added | Mazura | Unlike sin, which is "not used to exclusively describe disobedience to God", heresy, whether it's ideologic or of an action 'exclusively describes disobedience'. - "The term heresy, from Greek αἵρεσις, originally meant 'choice' or 'thing chosen', but it came to mean the 'party or school of a man's choice' and also referred to that process whereby a young person would examine various philosophies to determine how to live." - 'Choosing' to not believe in established dogma is disobedient ("refusing to obey rules or someone in authority"). aka, heresy. | |
| Jul 10, 2019 at 15:07 | comment | added | Mazura | > Heresy is distinct from both apostasy, which is the explicit renunciation of one's religion, principles or cause, and blasphemy, which is an impious utterance or action concerning God or sacred things. The term is usually used to refer to violations of important religious teachings, but is used also of views strongly opposed to any generally accepted ideas. It is used in particular in reference to Christianity, Judaism, and Islam." | |
