[Peace-discuss] A Christian heresy

[C. G. Estabrook]

Heresy is in fact an ambiguous term in Christianity. Strictly speaking, it's a 
sin - a conscious rejection of the known truth (like saying that Obama is really 
trying to end the war in the Mideast). But it's used more generally to mean a 
serious rejection of important Christian doctrine, arising from misinformation 
and/or stupidity. In this sense, "rapture theology" is heresy.

(And the title of this article is great.)
