What would you say is the earliest church heresy? Like, the original big no-no
Oh see now you've hit an interesting little rabbit hole without realizing it, because we know both a whole lot and also not much about the early days of the Christian church as we understand it.
So this faith leader guy gets executed or whatever, right? And now you have a bunch of his post-postmortem followers running around spreading his branch of weird Judaism which gets twisted into the first beginnings of Messianic Christianity. But this is back in ye olde days, and also the Romans are gonna be killing any Christians they can find, so the earliest days of the church are mystery cults sporadically popping up like mushrooms. (Is the Holy Spirit like a mycelial network? Who can say)
One of these early Christians was a very popular guy named Arius. Arius told his followers that Jesus WAS born of God, but that he was NOT God himself (the word you're looking for vis a vis that relationship is that Jesus is consubstantial with God, as in, made of the same simultaneous divinity.) and therefore should not be worshipped as one would God.
Then some time passes and all the big bishops of this hot new gig called Christianity realize, wait, hold on, we need to get shit straightened out. We can't ALL be calling ourselves Christian when people are saying Jesus was a hologram, or that he was born of God but isnt God, or that he was just some guy that God really liked. We need to all sit down and decide what we as a unified and universal group believe about our religion. So they all go down to this little place called Nicaea where everyone hashes out exactly what they believe in as Christians, and the end result is that Arius was shot down, which is why in the Nicene Creed there's that one specific line that goes something like this:
Et in unum Dominum Iesum Christum, Filium Dei unigenitum, ex Patre natum ante omnia saecula. Deum de Deo, Lumen de Lumine, Deum verum de Deo vero, genitum non factum, consubstantialem Patri; per quem omnia facta sunt.
Sharp eyes may have spotted that special little word consubstantialem in there. The earliest founders of the early church basically made certain that in their formalized dogma, Arianism would always be called heretical, because Jesus' position in the trinity requires him to be equal to but distinct from the Father. All of trinitarian Christianity agrees that Arianism is a no go.
Personally I do think we should have more Judasian heresies though. Like I guess I get why so many early heresies are centered around the nature of the trinity and specifically J Dog but it does begin to grate.
#this is all to say btw that functionally there are several contenders for earliest heres#y. because before the nicene creed everyone was doing heresy technically#but arianism is the big name on the block#the other 3 big ones are nestorian eutychian and apollinarian heresies#collectively theyre like the avatar nations of heresy. the four great early heresies etc

Tyrant’s Lullaby
Once upon a time, there was a glorious, terrible man. He built horrors. He built wonders. He brought monsters up from the deep. He took a child from the arms of a horrified, weeping family, and raised him not as a boy but as a general. He took a child and ruined his future, He took a child and made him a king, a pet, a dog. He marched armies over the face of the ravaged earth, and trampled all that did not kneel before the weight of the storm. He burned tundras to ash and shook the mountains until they crumbled, He boiled the seas to mist and the skies to charcoal. And when the scouring was done, and the earth was entombed in ashes, He turned His dreaming, endless glare upon His own.
He strangled the thunder that had bore Him a throne, He sent the golden, the children stolen from their cradles, to plunge down long knives into turned backs raised so fervently before His regard. With their blood they had built Him a kingdom, and with their bones He crowned Himself a throne. And when Terra knelt, cowed, battered, in awe and in fear, He turned His gaze skywards.
And the stars felt His benevolent wrath.
He bore twenty sons, two of them sacrificed, and He unleashed them upon the earth, the skies, the stars. They hunted for Him, they loved Him, they adored Him, yet some had strayed too far from His light, some had gazed upon the man that would be a god with sullen, hungry eyes, doing His bidding, and knowing His wrath. They are those who were there when affection curdled to treachery.
There was no peace among the stars, no mercy, no rest, simply a slow, heartless drowning as the gold claimed them limb by limb, inch by inch, and swallowed them into the endless light.
And then war. Treachery, when the stars themselves were swallowed. When brother turned against brother, and father against son. When the Phoenix cleaved the Gorgon’s head from his shoulders, and the Immortal bashed in the Haunter with a hammer, when the Angel fell to the Traitor and He stained the Palace’s stones red with His son’s blood. When Horus burned, when the Angel shed his wings and the golden were shattered upon the anvil of betrayal, the Father fell to His son.
He was buried upon a rotting throne, screaming hollowly into the fading dark, the stars basking in His rage, His pity and His wrath. He was buried alive in a tomb made from gold, ashen bones ruling a decaying kingdom from the grave, dreaming forever of brighter days. Dreaming of His sons, and how He betrayed them first, how they betrayed Him, how they abandoned His bones. And finally could the golden rest, bathed in the heart of their greatest shame, enshrining the decaying dust of a master they had failed, in an empire He had forsaken.
That man was the Emperor. That corpse is the Emperor, golden, glorious, and decaying just like the slaves.
Do not think your bones different from a slave's. When you rot, your corpse will be indistinguishable from those of your servants.

huh?? i thought describing the trinity in terms like the egg, an apple, a shamrock, etc was heretical. modalism and partialism and all that jazz
Sometimes you need to be a little heretical to help introduce people to the idea of the trinity. Eventually, people delve deeper into the theology and realize that there is no actual way to explain it. It's unexplainable (on purpose).

Qrow: Anyways, kid, I gotta get some new shoes. The lady working there has got some nice hands, so it makes sense that she's my muse.
Jaune: What's a muse?
Qrow: Well, kid, when you're laying in bed, all alone, and you're "taking care of yourself," and you're just about done, who's it you're thinking about?
Jaune: Well, I guess for me it would be Cardin.
Qrow: Well, there you go, kid! This Cardin guy is your muse!

volo meeting rohan's dad
#pokemon#pokemon legends arceus#oc#volo#hansuke#my art#ive explained like NOTHING of my vastly different headcanoned version of PLA on here but in short#for the purposes of like giving context#my version of volo is not actually employed by the gingko guild he just murders a merchant for their uniform#and proceeds to masquerade as a normal retail worker#why would he do this? bc hes insane and manipulating ppl is fun to him. hes extremely stunted and cannot interact w other ppl normally#after being spurned by his ppl for heresy and spending over a thousand years alone#so he comes to rohan and hansuke who are powerful trainers and warriors bc he is curious as to if and how they can aid his plan#but that shit starts going south for him real quick bc he actually becomes kind of attached to rohan lol

We report: a little bit of space in the vast has been made to allow the sunrise to show through. The clouds have dutifully pushed themselves out of way so that there is a little pale glow in their stead. There is a drizzle patiently waiting backstage to close the curtains again.

please stop being wrong on my posts btw it gets very frustrating not letting myself respond to you about how wrong you are
#this is in general but also its specifically at the person claiming that they can argue animals are not only not Less Than Man#but that they are in fact More Than Man because they can't sin#and im just sitting here like. thats a heresy. i get where youre coming from i perhaps even agree with parts of it. but within this context#you are being a heretic. and far worse than that: youre just being wrong.#bc according to dogma God created Man in His image.#so claiming that a flatworm is More Than Man is claiming that a flatworm is also More Than God.#and again. i dont disagree. this is not my opinion.#but god please stop being wrong about academic shit on my posts about academic shit its so frustrating...

What are your top 5 most homoerotic scenes in the heresy books?
Oh, this one is well above my pay grade, Anon :) I am but a clueless straight gal who is just now in my adult life learning what gay-coded literary and film elements are. And I’m mainly learning it from this site, so I have no idea if what I’m reading is true homoeroticism or just sparkling giant muscle men.
I have seen the scene with Amon oiling up Magnus’s chest in Thousand Sons discussed as one example.
But truly, I’m not the one to ask. I’m sure though that one of my mutuals can chime in with more educated responses :)
