So how do you tell an orthodox Christian
-
from a heretical Christian?
-
Well, it's your judgment call or mine in the second century.
-
You hadn't had, yet, the creeds
-
that would try to settle these things for good,
-
like you did in the third and fourth century -- the fourth century.
-
But a lot of Christians in Rome,
-
the Bishop of Rome, a lot of other people
-
considered Marcion a heretic for this.
-
They kicked him out of the church.
-
They gave him back his money, that he had given to the church,
-
and they kicked him out.
