Isn't HERESY another form of the word HERESAY?

Question

Believing any bullcrap we are told?
My Fantastic Brain just realized the synchronicity
between the two.

Answer 1

No, other way around. Heresy is preaching the opposite of what everyone is supposed to believe. Nice try though.

Answer 2

Both matter and form of heresy admit of degrees which find expression in the following technical formula of theology and canon law. Pertinacious adhesion to a doctrine contradictory to a point of faith clearly defined by the Church is heresy pure and simple, heresy in the first degree. But if the doctrine in question has not been expressly "defined" or is not clearly proposed as an article of faith in the ordinary, authorized teaching of the Church, an opinion opposed to it is styled sententia haeresi proxima, that is, an opinion approaching heresy. Next, a doctrinal proposition, without directly contradicting a received dogma, may yet involve logical consequences at variance with revealed truth. Such a proposition is not heretical, it is a propositio theologice erronea, that is, erroneous in theology. Further, the opposition to an article of faith may not be strictly demonstrable, but only reach a certain degree of probability. In that case the doctrine is termed sententia de haeresi suspecta, haeresim sapiens ; that is, an opinion suspected, or savouring, of heresy

Hearsay is "second-hand" information. It occurs when a witness testifies NOT about something they personally saw or heard, but testifies about something someone else told them or said they saw. Hearsay usually involves an attempt to get some crucial fact entered into evidence that cannot be entered into evidence by any other means. The constitutional due process danger that this represents is that it deprives the other side of an opportunity to confront and cross-examine the "real" witness who originally saw or heard something. The confrontation clause of the Sixth Amendment has never been interpreted so literally as to preclude hearsay evidence. Care must be taken to avoid hearsay from consisting of rumor, gossip, or scuttlebutt. There are times when hearsay evidence is perhaps the right thing to do -- as in cases where a young child has been molested -- and, there are times when hearsay evidence is the only thing to do -- as in cases where the original witness has died or is unavailable. At common law, there were five well-established exceptions to the hearsay rule, and these exceptions have been a part of the hearsay rule from the beginning. Today, there are almost three times as many exceptions (10-20 depending upon how you do the counting), and it's not that hearsay exceptions are a growing area of evidence law, but only that more practical reasons exist making it necessary to add more exceptions. The hearsay rule, its exceptions, and hearsay evidence are some of the most defining features of Anglo-American criminal justice. It is appropriate to think of the hearsay rule as the main exclusionary rule in all of evidence law.

Answer 3

Heresy, according to the Oxford English Dictionary, is a "theological or religious opinion or doctrine maintained in opposition, or held to be contrary, to the Roman Catholic or Orthodox doctrine of the Christian Church, or, by extension, to that of any church, creed, or religious system, considered as orthodox. By extension, heresy is an opinion or doctrine in philosophy, politics, science, art, etc., at variance with those generally accepted as authoritative." The study of heresy is heresiology.

Answer 4

Actually, "hearsay" (note spelling) is just something that has been heard but not proven.

Hearsay
NOUN:

Unverified information heard or received from another; rumor.
Law Evidence based on the reports of others rather than the personal knowledge of a witness and therefore generally not admissible as testimony.

Answer 5

Impossible to tell. It would seem more probably that if it were true the spelling would be more similiar. "Hear say" - - "Heresy"
I see at least 4 changes. Good question, though.

Answer 6

It depends on who calls what heresy.

Answer 7

nope sorry

Answer 8

No

Answer 9

No
