I cannot open new threads.
Whatever I write is not emotional. It is very clear and very simple.
A] My point is as follows – the words heresy and heretic are used oftentimes , but do not always mean the same thing.
I will list some examples of usage of this word and hope anyone will understand what I mean.
The first usage of the word heresy pertains in an [for lack of better word] hagadic way.
For examle Someone who gets angry is reckoned as if he worships avoda zara .
Similar statements are mentioned about s’ one who is haughty .
Or even s’one who invests in his own material success and attributes his success to himself [kochi ve’otsem yadi asu li et hachayil hazeh]
Or anyone who happened to do any avera. Rav chskel levenstein attributed this to a lack of emuna i.e. a heresy.
Those are aggadic ‘heresies’.
Said behaviour and attitudes are frowned upon , but those people are kasher to be edim and yenam is not nesech etc .
In other words, their problem has heresy connections, but is not halachik heresy.
