Heres

"Sun. (1.) "Mount Heres" (Judg. 1:35), Heb. Har-heres, i.e.," sun-mountain; probably identical with Irshemesh in Josh. 19:41 "(2.) Isa. 19:18, marg. (See [273]ON.)

"From a Greek word signifying (1) a choice, (2) the opinion" "chosen, and (3) the sect holding the opinion. In the Acts of the" "Apostles (5:17; 15:5; 24:5, 14; 26:5) it denotes a sect, without" "reference to its character. Elsewhere, however, in the New" Testament it has a different meaning attached to it. Paul ranks heresies with crimes and seditions (Gal. 5:20). This word also denotes divisions or schisms in the church (1 Cor. 11:19). In "Titus 3:10 a "heretical person" is one who follows his own" "self-willed "questions," and who is to be avoided. Heresies thus" came to signify self-chosen doctrines not emanating from God (2 Pet. 2:1).
