Matthew 5:10-12
>Blessed are they that suffer persecution for justice' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are ye when they shall revile you, and persecute you, and speak all that is evil against you, untruly, for my sake: Be glad and rejoice, for your reward is very great in heaven. For so they persecuted the prophets that were before you.
Matthew 5:19-20
>He therefore that shall break one of these least commandments, and shall so teach men, shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven. But he that shall do and teach, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. For I tell you, that unless your justice abound more than that of the scribes and Pharisees, you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
Matthew 8:11
>And I say to you that many shall come from the east and the west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven:
Matthew 19:21
>Jesus saith to him: If thou wilt be perfect, go sell what thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come follow me.

I think the Holy Spirit inspired and assembled and preserved the bible, the humans involved were incidental.

If it was up to them and based on their authority, that means you put your faith in man and have to trust their abilities. But man is sinful and fallible. So that argument eats itself. The men don't matter, they simply served a purpose.

And the early Church was both Catholic+Orthodox not just catholic. Once the catholics schismed they started making up their own dogmas contrary to the faith

Is there any rigorous definition of heresy?

John Milbank said:
>I regard Catholic Christianity as fulfilling the best pagan impulses, heresy as exaggeration or thinning-down of the truth, and nihilism as a parody both of the Christian view that we are created from nothing and that therefore all that is finite is indeterminate, and equally of the likewise Christian view that ordered beauty is paradoxically in-finite.

I've looked over people who were tried for heresy and the reasons invoked, such as with Meister Eckhart, but is there an actual codification of heresies? It seems like there should be, or at least there should be a list of things that are heretical if violated. I see the term getting tossed around a lot where "heterodoxy" would seem to suffice.
