According to the will of God who from before all eternity chose some men to redeem and others not.
Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved. In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence; Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself" -- Ephesians 1:4-9 "According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:

I have touched on a number of heresies that are clearly defined by the Church in the first millennium. Many of these are at least partly inherent in the Reformation; many are included in current Protestant theologies having been developed and refined further.
Have you nothing more to say on that subject than to criticize Irenaeus’ “works-based” thoughts and not even refer to his treatise on heresies?
Is the Reformation platform so weak that any comparison with 1st millennium heresies would bring it down? If not, then why else are posts on heresies avoided by the otherwise outspoken Protestant apologists?
