Strong's Lexicon heterodidaskaleó: To teach a different doctrine Original Word: ἑτεροδιδασκαλέω Word Origin: From the Greek words ἕτερος (heteros, meaning "another" or "different") and διδάσκω (didaskó, meaning "to teach"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἑτεροδιδασκαλέω, the concept of false teaching can be related to Hebrew terms such as שֶׁקֶר (sheqer, meaning "falsehood" or "lie") and תּוֹעֵבָה (to'evah, meaning "abomination"). Usage: The verb ἑτεροδιδασκαλέω is used in the New Testament to describe the act of teaching doctrines that deviate from the established apostolic teachings. It implies the introduction of teachings that are contrary to the core message of the Gospel as delivered by the apostles. This term is often associated with false teachings and heresies that threaten the purity and unity of the early Christian faith. Cultural and Historical Background: In the early Christian church, maintaining doctrinal purity was of utmost importance. The apostles and early church leaders were vigilant against teachings that could lead believers astray. The Greco-Roman world was filled with various philosophies and religious ideas, and the early church had to navigate these influences while preserving the truth of the Gospel. The term ἑτεροδιδασκαλέω reflects the challenges faced by the early church in safeguarding the faith against false teachings.
