This entry was made about the Heresy of the Free Spirit to better understand the heresy and the Christian church’s reaction to it. In addition, to point out that the Church's reaction to heresy in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries was connected to the witchcraft persecution of the fifteenth century.
==Scriptural Justification--
I found this in the First Epistle of St John -
Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall see him as he is. And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as He is pure. Whosoever commiteth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins: and in him is no sin. Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.
Perhaps this began the theological position of this movement. There are huge parallels between this Christian movement and the early Christian Gnostics. The idea that the Resurrection had or could happen in this world is found in the Nag Hammadi manucscripts. ThePeg 20:06, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
