And those trouble makers Luther and Calvin! ~~ by baldie

Whatever their many Flaws, both Martin Luther and John Calvin were hyper-traditionalists on the matter of Scripture.

No "Papal-approved Latin Vulgate" Translation for them; the Original Prots advocated a return to the Original Greek for all translations of Scripture.

This latest Abomination turns the Old Protestant appreciation of the Textus Receptus on its head.

The Original Protestants followed a very simple Rule when it came to Scripture:

Greek is the sacred tongue, and Greek is the Baptist's tongue; we may be beaten in our own version, sometimes — but in Greek, never! ~~ Rev. Charles Spurgeon, Reformed Baptist, "The Prince of Preachers"

Well put, OP. I particularly appreciated the Spurgeon quote.
