You have an interesting way of answering questions.The charge of heresy is one way to prosecute persecution, don't you think?
Best wishes, 2RM.

Today seems to be my definition day. A heresy is when someone with earthly power uses that power to exercise control over someone else's right to freedom of religion. ie., the accused may believe something the power does not, or not believe something the power does. Since, in my experience at any rate, powers are not more accurate than the accused, I would like to see the charge of heresy abolished. Except, perhaps, from cases where the accused has neither evidence nor logic to justify themselves, and the power has both.

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 :)

@Heart2Soul Such a huge textual base to support the Bible text...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!
Last night I was researching the gap of time between the book of Malachi and the book of Matthew.@Heart2Soul Such a huge textual base to support the Bible text...
@Heart2Soul I do love Malachi: :)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.
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.@Heart2Soul Such a huge textual base to support the Bible text...
Where did you learn about all this? It is very informative and I would like to research it as well.Actually, not necessarily.

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 itWhere did you learn about all this? It is very informative and I would like to research it as well.

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. :)Where did you learn about all this?

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.View attachment 16708
I was simply pointing out what that site considered serious issues that need to be reported. Like "Deity" of Jesus. This forum is flooded with those who deny that Jesus is God. They are considered to be heretics in that forum, but not here. It doesn't even seem to be a serious issue here.
Does anyone know if there is a statement of Faith on ChristianityBoard. I couldn't find it.
