HYMENAEUS
(Gr., “belonging to “Hymen”, the Greek god of marriage”).
Person who was shipwrecked of faith. Paul abandoned him to Satan (1 Tim. 1:20).
Hymenaeus denied the future resurrection, saying that it had already taken place.
Philetus joined him in propagating this false teaching (2 Tim. 2:17, 18).
It is possible that it was related to nascent Gnosticism, allegorizing the hope of the resurrection, applying it to conversion and denying its literality.
