Noah Webster's 1828 American Dictionary
|
It is not only important, but, in a degree necessary, that the people of this country, should have an American Dictionary of the English language; for, although the body of the language is the same as in England, and it is desirable to perpetuate that sameness, yet some differences must exist. Language is the expression of ideas; and if the people of one country cannot preserve an identity of ideas, they cannot retain an identity of language. |

HER'ESY, n. [Gr. to take, to hold; L. haeresis.]
1913 Definition
An opinion held in opposition to the
established or commonly received doctrine, and tending to promote a
division or party, as in politics, literature, philosophy, etc.; --
usually, but not necessarily, said in reproach.
New opinions After the study of philosophy began in Greece, and the philosophers, disagreeing amongst themselves, had started many questions . . . because every man took what opinion he pleased, each several opinion was called a heresy; which signified no more than a private opinion, without reference to truth or falsehood. Hobbes. Religious opinion opposed
to the authorized doctrinal standards of any particular church,
especially when tending to promote schism or separation; lack of
orthodox or sound belief; rejection of, or erroneous belief in regard
to, some fundamental religious doctrine or truth;
heterodoxy.
Doubts 'mongst divines, and difference of texts, Deluded people! that do not consider that the greatest heresy in the world is a wicked life. Tillotson. An offense against
Christianity, consisting in a denial of some essential doctrine,
which denial is publicly avowed, and obstinately
maintained.
A second offense is that of heresy, which consists not in a total denial of Christianity, but of some its essential doctrines, publicly and obstinately avowed. Blackstone. * "When I call dueling, and similar aberrations of honor, a moral heresy, I refer to the force of the Greek (?), as signifying a principle or opinion taken up by the will for the will's sake, as a proof or pledge to itself of its own power of self- determination, independent of all other motives." Coleridge. | ||||||||
Noah Says...
This general disposition to subject the slight and fleeting influence of human example and opinions, for the controlling authority of divine commands, is among the most gloomy presages of the present times. Without a great change of public taste … the progress of depravity will be as rapid, as the ultimate loss of morals, of religion, and of civil liberty, is certain. God has provided but one way, by which nations can secure their rights and privileges … by obedience to his laws. Without this, a nation may be great in population, great in wealth, and great in military strength; but it must be corrupt in morals, degraded in character, and distracted with factions. This is the order of God's moral government, as firm as his throne, and unchangeable as his purpose; and nations, disregarding this order, are doomed to incessant internal evils, and ultimately to ruin.
