“...flead to America to worship God with a newly printed English Bible (1570-1610) in their own language with out losing their head or being burning at a stake for having one!...how bout them apples..lol!”

Greeks and Arabs and Copts and Slavs and Amenians, as well as Christians in Iraq, Iran and India have worshiped God in their own languages since day 1. That The Church in the West used Latin and enforced its usage with an axe is no fault of The Church in East, TIF. We had nothing to do with that. Don’t fall into the trap of applying history made up to justify protestant animosity towards the Roman Church to Eastern Christianity.

“to Worship God with out Monarch or Papal persecution...flead to America to worship God with a newly printed English Bible (1570-1610) in their own language with out losing their head or being burning at a stake for having one!...how bout them apples..lol! that my dear friend is what sets America apart from Others..””

I am astonished that you show neither knowledge of nor appreciation for the 1400 years of oppression Christians in the East have suffered under the grinding boot of Mohammedanism AND YET PRESERVED THE FAITH INVIOLATE TO THIS DAY, the devastating attacks of “Christian” America on behalf of Mohammedan jihadis to the contrary notwithstanding.

“No nation has done so much for humanity then the USA..in such a short time. True we have had are problems..but we have preserved the world from destruction countless times.”

That, TIF, is demonstrably untrue. History’s march is longer that the few hundred years America has been around. I will grant you that no nation has ever done more, as a non Mohammedan nation, for the expansion of Islam at the expense of Christianity than America has the past 30 years or so.

I would add that whether the worship in the Latin Church was in Latin rather than the vernaculars has nothing to do with the Christian values Medieval Europe was built upon.
