Heresy - is not being in agreement with a widely accepted standard...
And ofcourse, the one "calling out" another as a "heretic" ... is the one in agreement ... with a "particular" widely accepted standard.
Problem IS: Even widely accepted standards; regularly DO exceed, Gods Standards... and
WHY, such "standards" become, NOT agreeable.
Calling another a "heretic", is primarily, a tactic of Catholics.
Not to fret...For disagreeing or rejecting Catholic "Standards" that supersede, Gods Standards.
Heretick is used Once in Scripture...pertaining to men in agreement of the SAME STANDARD, but one not yielding to "correction".
Titus 3:
[10] A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject;
Lol...yes I googled when the kjv first came out cause I wasn't sure and it said 1611Well, I know you said your main point was that NT and OT have to be studied together to be understood properly and I couldn't agree more, but I'm still confused about the pre-1611 KJV statement. Do you mean the 1st OT/NT Bible from a printing press or the 1st English OT/NT Bible? Because Wycliffe's Translation (which was not at first printed but, indeed published) predates the King James by over over 2 centuries. Just nitpicking, I guess. I worked in a precise industrial profession before I retired which required excessive attention to detail. Pay no attention to my ramblings. lol

The Vulgate is the one they had chained to monastery walls so the common people couldn't use them, I believe.
You may be correct. I have not gotten into that much. Mostly I know only what I have read on forums like this one.
Oh WOW!!! I love it! It really simplifies the progression of how the Bible came to exist as it does today.
Thank you for sharing!
@Heart2Soul Such a huge textual base to support the Bible text...
Last night I was researching the gap of time between the book of Malachi and the book of Matthew.
It took me to an extensive history of who conquered who and who became king etc, etc...there were conflicting data from different sources...tje protestants determined that 400 years had passed before we see the book of Matthew....
It was also called the dark ages....during this time God remained silent and gave no word to any prophets.
@Heart2Soul I do love Malachi:
"Then they that feared the Lord spake often one to another: and the Lord hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the Lord, and that thought upon his name." (Malachi 3.16)

Actually, not necessarily. There are serious doubts held by scholars re the reliability of the Sanaiticus, and the Vaticanus which formed the basis for the Jesuits Douay and many of the modern versions. Dont know about the Alexandrinus one. The KJV was based on what is commonly called the 'received text' which comprised hundreds of manuscripts as opposed to just one or two.
Where did you learn about all this? It is very informative and I would like to research it as well.

I was afraid someone would ask me that. It's information I've picked up here and there but can't remember the exact source. Give me a few hours, just going back to work, and I'll see what I can find. I have read a couple of excellent books on the subject, but that's not much help to you is it

I actually read this entire book 30 years ago. Admittedly, the author is quite biased in favor of the King James, but his scholarship is fairly tight and it's an interesting (if slightly dull) read.

Lol. That was my first resource also. It fits have excellent information, and very detailed and well researched. One for a true scholar, not for casual readers.I actually read this entire book 30 years ago.

Every site runs things differently. I'm on 3. Where one might let all groups post in forums some have restrictions on where heterodox, cults or atheists can post and some use those same groups as opportunities for evangelism and to see how ones faith holds up under scrutiny. So whatever forums one posts on they need to know the rules they agreed to when they became a member.
