BTW, just where did your "protestant" Bible come from anyway? From the Catholic version preserved through the ages. (But changed by Luther.)
Where DID the KJV come from? Since it was written in the 1600s, it derived from earlier sources -- and all the earlier sources available to it at that time were the Roman Catholic, Latin Vulgate versions. So, it WAS from what was the whole Christian church's bible. Did Luther change it? Yes, at least in one way -- he chucked out the book of Maccabbeees etc. So, again, HOW IS IT PROTESTANT BASHING?
btw. thanks for keeping us in the loop.

Luther also added the words "faith only" to being saved.

I hate to bust your bubble but the Latin Vulgate is a translation from the original Greek. (Sadly though Jerome didn't believe the Apocrypha belong in it, he was "persuaded" to include it.) There were no Roman Catholics in the early Church.
