	Encyclopedia Coptica: The Christian Coptic Orthodox Church Of Egypt
		The Coptic Church is based on the teachings of Saint Mark who brought Christianity to Egypt during the reign of the Roman emperor Nero in the first century, a dozen of years after the Lord's ascension.
		This long-held position of the Church concerning the separation between State and Religion stems from the words of the Lord Jesus Christ himself, when he asked his followers to submit to their rulers: "Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's." [Mathew 22:21].
		There are three main Liturgies in the Coptic Church: The Liturgy according to Saint Basil, Bishop of Caesarea; The Liturgy according to Saint Gregory of Nazianzus, Bishop of Constantinople; and The Liturgy according to Saint Cyril I, the 24th Pope of the Coptic Church.

		Justin is confident that his teaching is that of the Church at large.
		His opposition to Judaism was typical of church leaders in his day, but does not descend to the level of anti-semitism.

	Church History
		Church History, on the surface, seems irrelevant to 21st century Christianity.
		History is littered with heresies that have tried to infiltrate the church, including false ideas such as Arianism, Gnosticism, Montanism and Marcionism.
		Church history is rather complex, but an understanding of the basics is very worthwhile.

	CHURCH HISTORY
		Church history is also a record of how individuals, groups and movements have failed in their faithfulness to the Great Commission.
		Heresy: While this is closely related to doctrine, it should be kept distinct, for there has been a development of heresy throughout the history of the church.
		Conclusion: “Church History provides a synthesis of the past, an explanation of the present, a guide to correct conduct, and inspirational motive to good, practical illustrations for the preachers and it is a liberatizing [broadening] study” (Cairns).

		While the study it may be challenging, a basic understanding of the major heresies of Church history is essential to understanding cults today.
		This is why a study in ancient heresies is so important to understanding the cults of today.

	Part II The Ante-Nicene Age: Lesson No. 7 - Gnostic Heresies
		Thus, the Gnosticism that the church faced in the Second Century may have been quite different from what it faced in the Third Century.
		Gnosticism attained the height of its influence in the years 135-160 A.D. The name, "Gnosticism," comes from the Greek term "gnosis," meaning "knowledge." However, the knowledge which Gnosticism advocated was not a knowledge that could be obtained through study or observation.
		With prophetic vigor Montanus rose up and proclaimed the approaching end of the world, the dawning of the age of the Holy Spirit, the heavenly Jerusalem was about to be set up in Phrygia, and that asceticism ought to be practiced in preparation for this time.

	A Time Line of Church History
		The churches of Rome and Constantinople were often separated for long periods of time already between the fourth and the ninth centuries.
		Those early conflicts were sometimes caused by heresies, held in the capital of the Eastern empire (Arianism, 335-381; Monotheletism, 533-680; Iconoclasm, 723-787; 815-842) and rightfully rejected by Rome.
		Whatever the issue and whoever was at fault, it is clear that, underneath the debate on a concrete theological or disciplinary problem, there was a developing difference on the repective authority of the "apostolic see" of Rome on the one side, and on the other, the idea of a conciliar consensus prevailing in the East.

		As long as the Church had all the copies of this book, and the people were not allowed to read it, there was comparatively little heresy in the world; but when it was printed and read, people began honestly to differ as to its meaning.
		Every church pretends that it has a revelation from God, and that this revelation must be given to the people through the church, that the church acts through its priests, and that ordinary mortals must be content with a revelation -- not from God -- but from the church.
		The sword of the church was unsheathed and the world was at the mercy of ignorant and infuriated priests, whose eyes feasted upon the agonies of the inflicted.

		Or the movement may attempt to engulf the church through armed conquest, perhaps with the result that it gains totalitarian control of certain regions of the world.
		Although this new system avoids the legalism taught by the older heresies of Catholicism and liberalism, and although it recognizes that faith, not works, is the only avenue of salvation, its definition of faith is inadequate.
		Churches that have completed all three stages still fondly refer to faith as the essence of belonging to Christ.

	CHURCH FATHERS: Against Heresies (St. Irenaeus)

		Chapter 33 -- Whosoever confesses that one God is the Author of both testaments, and diligently reads the Scriptures in company with the presbyters of the Church, is a true spiritual disciple; and he will rightly understand and interpret all that the prophets have declared respecting Christ and the liberty of the New Testament.
		Chapter 20 -- Those pastors are to be heard to whom the Apostles committed the Churches, possessing one and the same doctrine of salvation; the heretics, on the other hand, are to be avoided.

		Finally, the doubt or denial involved in heresy must concern a matter that has been revealed by God and solemnly defined by the Church (for example, the Trinity, the Incarnation, the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist, the sacrifice of the Mass, the pope’s infallibility, or the Immaculate Conception and Assumption of Mary).
