Heresy is the fruit of man s pride. Heresy builds up the impenetrable wall of impenitence, which prevents man to return to salvation. And although God forgives all sins committed by man, the sin of heresy is unforgivable and brings eternal punishment and condemnation upon those who insist in their heresy. All sins and blasphemies He forgives, because they are the result of man s weakness. Heresy twists the true teachings and does not respect the Word of God, Holy Scripture, Holy Apostolic Traditions, or the teachings of the theophoric and god-inspired Holy Fathers.
Faith is accepted with the hope in the divine promises.
Throughout Holy Scriptures we find the teachings which urge us to preserve the true faith. For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. Even our Lord and Saviour Himself warns us about the coming of pseudochrists and pseudoprophets. False christs, false prophets and false apostles are the heretics, who by their own will and in their own knowledge twist the truths of the Holy Gospel. They present one part of the truth, as been the whole truth.
