While I obviously don't agree with godrulz, I appreciate his ability to say it at TOL. And I expect to see it...I am, after all, not presenting the current popular tradition that is the magority opinion, and has become the plausibilty structure of many denominations of the church.
That TOL allows and even encourages this kind of interchange is exactly the way things should be.

So you can call a heresy a heresy, but you can't call a heretic a heretic.
So you can call a heresy a heresy, but you can't call a heretic a heretic.
Your attempt to separate the two, and to say that one is acceptable and the other isn't, is a form of legalism.
But of course I'm in no way suggesting that you are a legalist
That said, I wonder whether the CF admins and mods acknowledge that saying "you are teaching heresy" is exactly the same as saying "you are a heretic," or if they try to split hairs the way you do. :think:

Hey genius, a heretic is one who believes, teaches, or promotes heresy. So to tell someone that they believe and are teaching heresy is to call them a heretic.no avatar said:

There are really many different answers I could give to this post ............................... but I think I'll go with this one. Calling someone a heretic is flaming, but pointing out that something is a heresy, and backing it up with evidence is teaching.Turbo said:Hey genius, a heretic is one who believes, teaches, or promotes heresy.

heretic: A person who holds controversial opinions, especially one who publicly dissents from the officially accepted dogma of the Roman Catholic Church.
heresy: An opinion or a doctrine at variance with established religious beliefs, especially dissension from or denial of Roman Catholic dogma by a professed believer or baptized church member.
Wouldn't a person who believes in/promotes a heresy be a heretic? What's worse? Being a heretic or calling a heretic a heretic?
..oh...and welcome to TOL

Yeah.
This is why being called a heretic shouldn't be all that troublesome...
