: give an example of APOSTASY

apostasy means 'giving up your stance'.....

I don't know one. But I believe it is possible for it to happen. It would reference someone who knew the Christian revelation and then wholly backing away from it. The reason I cannot say that I know of an example is because I don't know people's hearts. I can only imagine that certain people might have apostasized, but I don't know for sure.

: give an example of HERESY

a heresy is a departure from some part of Christian revelation without rejection of the whole. An example of this could be the Nestorian heresy which tried to separate from the Christian revelation the notion that Mary was the Mother of God. Although it was an attempt to protect the uniqueness of Christ, which Nestorians thought could be threatened by his mother, it actually distorted revealed truth since such a belief either dishonors motherhood or misunderstands who Christ was. In Nestorianism either Christ wasn't God, or Mary was not a true mother. Either is at best disrespectful, if not down right diabolical.

: what is fundamentalism?

it is a broad term that can be applied to different groups though it is commonly understood in our country to refer to the Christian fundamentalists. For more info on it, try this link:
