Where are there any scriptures in the Bible talking about Nestorianism?

Nestorianism--
Refers to theology of Nestorius of Antioch, who became Bishop of Constantinople in 428 A.D.
Nestorius believed that Mary was mother only of the human Jesus, not the divine Logos and in the Antiochine "two-nature" Christology. Cyril of Alexandria (who had the female Platonist philosopher Hypatia murdered in 415) first attacked his doctrines in a letter in 428. In his third letter to Nestorius (430), Cyril attacked Nestorius' Christology and demanded that he agree with Cyril's 12 Anathemas, which condemned the Antiochine theology of two natures. Nestorius was to agree that the Word of God suffered in the flesh (not that only the human part of Jesus suffered). Politics became heaviest at the Council of Ephesus in 431. Nestorius' strongest supporters, John of Antioch and other Syrians were delayed because of weather. Nestorius himself was given military protection because of danger to his person at the hands of the monks related to Memnon, bishop of Ephesus and strong supporter of Cyril. Nestorius' views were misrepresented --he was accused of teaching that Christ was only an human being-- and he was excommunicated. Four days later, the Syrians arrived and condemned Cyril and Memnon. Then the Roman delegates of Pope Celestine arrived and deposed John of Antioch. In short, the situation was a mess and the bad feelings and actions did not end at Ephesus. (See a church history book for more information.) In 435, Nestorius, who continued to insist on his innocence, was exiled to the Egyptian desert. Certain bishops in Syria agreed with Nestorius and founded a new church. There still is a small Nestorian church based in Iran, whose New Testament canon is the smallest of Christian churches (22 instead of 27 books)

What Scriptures did the Catholic Church change in the Bible?
Roman Catholic AnswerYou are operating with a mistaken assumption. The Catholic Church wrote the Bible, the Catholic Church decided which books were canonical (included in the Bible), and the Catholic Church has conserved the Bible through the centuries. The only ones who changed any Scriptures in the Bible are the protestants, who, after fifteen centuries of a Bible preserved by the Catholic Church came along and threw books out of the Bible, and changed the meanings of books they would not throw out.
Are there any other names for the bible?
The Word, the Word of God, Sword of the Spirit. Those are a few that came to mind. Another point of view is, The Scriptures, or Scriptures. Other names such as The Gospel, and Testaments would also apply, depending on the nature of the question.
Is the Gideon Bible a Catholic Bible?
We were just in a hotel room where I actually read the Gideon Bible in the drawer. I noticed that it was a King James Version. Because of the history of strained politics between the Vatican and England, it's safe to say that the King James Version is not a Catholic Bible. Regardless, I'm sure the Gideons would not object if a Catholic were to read their Bible.
What is the difference between the Hebrew Bible and the king James Bible?
The Hebrew Bible is another name for what Christians often call the "Old Testament." Jews do not tend to call their bible the "Old Testament", since this name implies that their bible is "old" or that it was replaced by the New Testament. Jewish people do respect the Christian scriptures but do not regard the New Testament as sacred to Judaism, so a Bible for Jews would only contains the Old Testament. Since they do not have any other Testaments, many Jews call their scriptures the Hebrew Bible or the Tanakh (the Hebrew abbreviation for these scriptures).As for the King James Bible, it is a popular Christian translation, from the Protestant tradition-- it contains both the Old Testament and the New Testament. You will note that the King James translation of the Old Testament puts the books in a different order from how the Hebrew Bible has them, and some older versions of King James translate certain verses somewhat differently, in an effort to "prove" that Jesus was predicted in the Hebrew scriptures (Jews do not believe he was). But in general, the main difference is the King James Bible contains both the Hebrew Scriptures and the New Testament, while a Hebrew Bible contains the approved Jewish scriptures only, usually translated from the Hebrew by the Jewish Publication Society or another authorized Jewish organization.
If the Gospels were written in early times why was not a New Testament used as the early Bible?
The Gospel contains the Old Testament, composed of scriptures found prior to Jesus birth or orally transmitted from lost ancient scriptures after Jesus birth, and the New Testament related to Jesus life and teaching. Any early Bible is made of Old and New Testaments as a whole.
