Why? What is your scriptural basis?
If a church is involved in politics is that prohibited in the NT?
So then if a church is pro life are you saying that is prohibited? If not how do you distinguish? How is it that "pro life" can be a Christian doctrine, yet "pro choice" cannot be viewed as a heresy?
If Antichrist requires you to have his number on your forehead before you can buy or sell, is that a heresy? If the church is teaching you not to do that as it is idolatrous, is that a Christian teaching?
Jesus said "my kingdom is not of this world" is that a Christian teaching? If so, why isn't someone who claims that the fulfillment of prophecy is the setting up of a 1,000 year kingdom on earth (3rd Reich) a heresy?
Are you aware that Christian hymns were changed to incorporate Nazi teachings? Why wouldn't they be considered heresies?
Nazi supporters among the Catholic priesthood accepted the National Socialist view that 'the entire international ecumenical movement worked against the German Reich. (Confronting the Nazi War on Christianity: The Kulturkampf Newsletters, 1936-1939)
