The question was why didn't God destroy Lucifer. He certainly could have considering He created him. So why is he still alive and why is he able to vex humanity with his temptations and lies and murders? When you find the right answer to that, then you will discover why persecution by the church, any church, is the work of Satan.He did

The vast majority of those groups were simply following conscience. Except for the gnostics (whose teachings the Catholic Church have to a large degree adopted) the others were following scripture. Even the Arians, we have only your church's word that Arius denied the divinity of Christ. Other Arians such as Wulfila taught the Sonship and divinity of Christ, yet denied the trinity. You don't need the trinity to believe and teach the divinity of Christ from scripture.The church cannot persecute anyone
Or Christ would be guilty of that persecution
The church has the sacred responsibility to safeguard the truth against all errors and to safeguard the faithful from all scandals
The church only determined that these groups are teaching error and encourages the state to execute justice
Simon Magnus: the father of all heretics!
Condemned by Saint Peter!
Early church:
Gnostics: secret or hidden knowledge of salvation.
Novationism: extreme rightism (fundamentalism)
Arianism: Jesus was not divine, condemned at the first apostolic council of Nicea with the trinity defined!
iconoclasts: opposed the use of images and icons, they were condemned at the second apostolic council of Nicea!
Montanism: basically a early Pentecostal movement!
Middle Ages:
albigensians: duelist sin of Manichaeism
god of good (spiritual or light) and a god of evil. (matter or darkness)
Early Protestant rebellion:
Wycliffe: predestination and the Bible alone.
hus: opposed the papacy, Bible only authority.
Protestant revolt:
Luther:
waldensians:
Huguenots:
Tyndall:
calvin:
Henry 8 and Cranmer the anglicans:
All evangelicals, Pentecostals and fundamentalists:
Protestant theology, five Solas, opposes the church founded by christ on Peter and started their own churches opposed each other in authority, some more fundamentalist. Condemned at the great apostolic council of Trent!
All heretics teaching false doctrines claiming biblical authority by the power of the Holy Spirit!
The rebellious slavery of Heretical fundamentalism begets only a thick black Spiritual Darkness! With spiritual pride, presumption, and arrogance!
heresy is treason against God and against Christ and his church and must be punished severely

Those other groups, if they believed in Christ and His redemption as I see they did from their own writings and from history, shall be our companions in glory.
Their only crime was refusing to submit to papal authority. I say good on them. Praise God for them. May there be many more who follow the courageous example and worship according to conscience following God's word to the end and not the dictates of apostate men in the Vatican.
New Testament.
Not necessarily.spiritual chaos and anarchy ensue from the Bible alone and you’re private judgement!!
I do believe it. You don't. You believe what your religion tells you to believe instead. Your religion is wrong. Sorry to be that blunt, but it is. Why not become a follower of Jesus Christ?why not actually believe what the NT says the church must teach and we must be instructed
Have you never read Romans 14:15?no one has the right of conscience to worship as you please but obey the first commandment of God! I am the Lord Thy God, you shall no gods before me!
There is only one GodHave you never read Romans 14:15?
It says that each person must be convinced in his own mind. That is true regardless of the situation. Jesus didn't come to create a totalitarian state or enforce a religion by intimidation and arms.I read it
Says nothing about right of conscience to choose you’re own religion
