Heretical Suggestions

Every time you sing this song and use the words to “let us live to make men free” you lose the allusion to John Brown and his radical christian conviction. He was controversial in life and in death for willing to fight, organize, and die to free the enslaved while the rest of the country was satisfied to live peaceably with injustice.

Yikes. That’s rough. Cops are very very different professions from firefighters and doctors.

May they be licensed.

May they be held accountable for their actions.

May they serve the afflicted and not cause affliction.

May they heal the sick, defend the defenseless, and fight fire with compassion.

May God Almighty deny them all refuge should they pervert this prayer.

According to Wiki

Adoptionism - Belief that Jesus was born as a mere (non-divine) man, was supremely virtuous and that he was adopted later as “Son of God” by the descent of the Spirit on him.

Apollinarism - Belief that Jesus had a human body and lower soul (the seat of the emotions) but a divine mind.

Arianism - Denial of the true divinity of Jesus Christ taking various specific forms, but all agreed that Jesus Christ was created by the Father, that he had a beginning in time, and that the title “Son of God” was a courtesy one.

Docetism - Belief that Jesus’ physical body was an illusion, as was his crucifixion; that is, Jesus only seemed to have a physical body and to physically die, but in reality he was incorporeal, a pure spirit, and hence could not physically die.

Pneumatomachianism - While accepting the divinity of Jesus Christ as affirmed at Nicea in 325, they denied that of the Holy Spirit which they saw as a creation of the Son, and a servant of the Father and the Son.

Melchisedechianism - Considered Melchisedech an incarnation of the Logos (divine Word) and identified him with the Holy Ghost.

Monarchism - An overemphasis on the indivisibility of God (the Father) at the expense of the other “persons” of the Trinity leading to either Sabellianism (Modalism) or to Adoptionism.

Monophysitism or Eutychianism - Belief that Christ’s divinity dominates and overwhelms his humanity, as opposed to the Chalcedonian position which holds that Christ has two natures, one divine and one human or the Miaphysite position which holds that the human nature and pre-incarnate divine nature of Christ were united as one divine human nature from the point of the Incarnation onwards.

Monothelitism - Belief that Jesus Christ had two natures but only one will. This is contrary to the orthodox interpretation of Christology, which teaches that Jesus Christ has two wills (human and divine) corresponding to his two natures

Nestorianism - Belief that Jesus Christ was a natural union between the Flesh and the Word, thus not identical, to the divine Son of God.

Patripassianism - Belief that the Father and Son are not two distinct persons, and thus God the Father suffered on the cross as Jesus.

Psilanthropism - Belief that Jesus is “merely human”: either that he never became divine, or that he never existed prior to his incarnation as a man.

Arianism - Belief that Jesus Christ was created by the Father at a point in time - thus rendering him a nature similar to, but not the same as the Father - and that Jesus’s role as the “Son of God” was a subordinate one.

Dyophysitism (not a heresy) - Belief that Jesus Christ had two distinct natures (human and divine) since the Incarnation.

Eutychianism - Belief that Jesus Christ had two distinct natures (human and divine) since the Incarnation, but at which point his divine nature overcame his human nature.

Miaphasitism - Belief that Jesus Christ had two distinct natures (human and divine) which became perfectly united at the time of the Incarnation.
