The specific charges against Tyndall was a mere legality and a quibble. He was an infamous Bible translator and was killed for it.

Hiding behind the legalities of the specific charge is like insisting that OJ Simpson isn’t a murderer because he was legally exonerated.

Both Catholics and Protestants have had official translations and forbidden translations of the Bible, and nothing you have said has changed that salient fact.

Completely incorrect. The entire trial against Tyndale was based upon charges of heresies. Do you have even a shred of evidence for what you’re claiming or will this be yet another baseless assertion from you?

“He was an infamous Bible translator and was killed for it.”

Again, completely incorrect. He was tried in Holland. He was known as a Bible translator in England. He was known as a heretic everywhere. Those are the facts. You apparently have no proof for any of your claims.

“Hiding behind the legalities of the specific charge is like insisting that OJ Simpson isn’t a murderer because he was legally exonerated.”

No. OJ was charged with murder. His acquittal did not prove that he was not a murderer. Tyndal was never charged with translating the Bible because it was not a crime to do so.

“Both Catholics and Protestants have had official translations and forbidden translations of the Bible, and nothing you have said has changed that salient fact.”

The salient fact is that Tyndal was never arrested, tried or executed for translating the Bible - and you have utterly failed to offer any proof of your assertions to the contrary.
