Syncretism. The art of blending some poisonous deception into the life of the church as if it was just some compatible new way of thinking. That’s how Gnosticism wormed its way into the early church and that’s why John had such a vehemence against it when it first raised its ugly head.

Remember the teaching Singleness teaching and craze in the late 80s early 90s ? teaching that it was better to remain single than to get married ?
They took what was St. Paul's own personal opinion and turned it into a dogmatic doctrine, but yet ? without comparing scripture with scripture.
Not counting that there is far more scripture that favors marriage than being single.
I think ? the feminists promoted that teaching and it crept into the church.
