2 Peter 2:1
But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Lord who bought them, and bring on themselves swift destruction.
Indeed and this has happened many times.. But the Church was not led astray, indeed she cannot be, the Holy Spirit will not allow it! How else could she be 'the ground and pillar of the Truth'?
Where now are those who listened to Apollonarius? To Donatus? Ti Arias?
He said in reply, "Every plant that my heavenly Father has not planted will be uprooted
Those who find their heresies cannot take hold in the Church must need leave it in order to teach falsehood! Which is why both John and Paul warn of those who would draw others away from the communion of the saints..
And from your own group, men will come forward perverting the truth to draw the disciples away after them.
Pax et Bonum
