Valerie, what translation are you using?

Higher quality translations render "divisions" and/or "sects"... Not "heresies".

My Scriptures of choice the last several years is The Orthodox Study Bible- it uses the Septuagint Old Testament & New King James New Testament,- the definition of heresies would agree with causing divisions & sectd- so either eay- it is sin

Then the big question is which side of 1054 is in heresy and sin: the East side, or the West side?

And then more questions after that: in 1525, were the Anabaptists are the Catholics the one in sin? (I would side with the Anabaptists, since they were the ones being killed, whereas the Catholics were killing people simply for choosing to be baptised as adults.)
