Church heresy, the problem is an important part of it directly from the orthodox Christian doctrine of the "abnormal expression", but also concerning the Church and the state of the distinction between Christians, punishment. Behind this issue is the system of doctrine and teaching law. Heresy in the Middle Ages formed as the center court of a set of judicial and disciplinary way that the early form of heresy in close contact. In fact, the orthodox doctrine of the Church to teach the system all is heresy in the early days under tension to the formation of interaction. Along with the Nicene Council, the progressive blend of power and political power, to Pope Gregory I, when, through the Apostles and early church fathers and the arguments from heresy, the church has formed a basic law, "the Bible", the resolution of religious meetings, Godfather authority works and some of the principles of Roman law origins of legal framework. On the one hand, secular country with the orthodox church to control people's minds, on the other hand, the secular regime, the church also used to strengthen elements of the fight against heresy, especially in the church of excommunication by the unique system of the beginning of a comprehensive, hierarchical.This article is divided into four parts, the early church heresy on the question of the origin and evolution associated with the church law.The formation of the first part of the Christian era to the multi-religious and cultural sources as the core, to clarify the formation of the Christian Roman Empire, when a more relaxed atmosphere and religious tolerance and religious policies, as well as Greek philosophy, especially the metamorphosis of the Stoic and the strong religious heresy, with the highlight of the "soil" in the role. It is also based on this point, Christianity as a Jewish "heresy" has developed. Therefore, from the birth at the beginning, the Christian will have a variety of expression patterns.The second part focuses on the institutional church is not only a reaction to the heresy of secession, but also the reality of the need to suppress heresy. Church of the system is the formation of the Christian church groups in regulation means for maintaining order in an inevitable choice for groups. This is about unity, and universality of Christianity is also the only way. From the point of view of dealing with heresy, the Church in the formation of a bishop as the center stage of the teaching system, on the one hand, defined the Church bishops, priests and clerics in the disposal of a variety of pieces on the duties of heresy, on the other hand, to complete the disposal of the church heresy legal basis, that is, orthodox doctrine. In view of the special status of the Bishop of Rome, the early Church in the struggle against anti-heresy reached a certain degree of compromise: the laity in the fight against heresy, the bishop of Rome have greater autonomy; and in the fight against higher positions heresy still to give way to the old system - religious meeting.The third part of Gnostic heresy, and sent Apostles, the godfather of the perspective of the debate to explain the main sources of the early Church, especially the "Old Testament" the authority of the formation. Concept of God as a result of the great differences Gnostic Church and sent on the "Bible" of the composition of a heated debate broke out. In the debate process, by the Gnostic faction variants -Marcionists sent in the first century Apostolic Gospel correspondence mode increases gradually recognized by the orthodox church, and eventually formed a part of the New Testament of the Bible. On the other hand, the godfather of their theological works of the debate has also been incorporated into the legal authority of canon law, canon law of the generations to become an important part.The fourth part of the main political power in order to teach both the right and heresy in the early analysis of the disciplinary approach at the core. Clarify the early church from the two basic Creed - "Apostles Creed" and the "Nicene Creed" in that the role of heresy, the combination of Tertullian, Augustine and other early Fathers entries, will be the sixth century heresy before the main grouped into three categories, namely, to split the Church, and the sale of the clergy, the worship of idols and witchcraft are. Moreover, that part of the church of excommunication unique system for the interpretation of the early forms, in particular elements relating to heresy for a general application. After the legalization of Christianity, Rome government more and more intervention in the affairs of the Church, the frequently executed or exiled heretics who, of course, in most cases this is still the need for religion councils as the basis of the prior session. In addition, the medieval church of heresy fire penalty and to wage war to impose the theoretical basis is also included in the basic works of the early Fathers.In this paper, starting from the early Christian literature to the issue of heresy and the Church system, linked to the Church of the system of the authority, on the one hand to heretical perspective of the early Church to show form, on the other hand, to refute the heresy that the issue will emerge as the 12th century the point of view. By the late 4th century, with the Nicene - Constantinople Creed shape by the end system, the orthodox doctrine of the secular regime has been under the strong involvement of the general established, and since then, theology is not only the authority of orthodox doctrine, but also a legal system. Medieval political power - The power of the Church to teach the dual judicial system to dispose of the way the Church heresy, in fact, been around in the 6th century in the Roman Empire and the institutionalization of a number of areas. Disputes over the issue of early heresy in the doctrine, the complete system resulting from the process of interaction, they actually form a polyphonic structure, its development and evolution to be very difficult to open a separate independent study. Therefore, this article summarizes the outline of the many forms of early heretics, as well as the manner and subject to disciplinary consequences in light of the doctine, the authority of the church of the system, may be able to study for the early church to broaden the approach roads.
