“Dear Mr. Roberts. I can not accept your ahistorical claims /
The Lindisfarne Gospels...the manuscript is thought to have been written and illuminated by Eadfrith and bound by AEthelwald about 698. Subsequently, possibly during AEthelwald’s episcopate, Billfrith added gems and metalwork to the binding.”
No. As I have pointed out, translations of bits and pieces for the wealthy WAS done. A translation of the whole, even the whole New Testament, for commoners? That was not done, in English, until Wycliffe.
Fixed it for you
Now a very new freeper named vermont crank posts a ranting, anti-Protestant piece.
Would they happen to be one and the same person, trying to sow discord?
What does this mean? Whatever it means, it sure doesn’t look good :)
That is a very disturbing image.
It is meant to be.
"THE PROTESTANT PRETENDED REFORMATION IS NOT THE WORK OF GOD"
but rather
"A DOCTRINAL CATECHISM; WHEREIN DIVERS POINTS OF CATHOLIC FAITH AND PRACTICE ASSAILED BY MODERN HERETICS ARE SUSTAINED BY AN APPEAL TO THE HOLY SCRIPTURES, THE TESTIMONY OF THE ANCIENT FATHERS, AND THE DICTATES OF REASON ON THE BASIS OF SCHEFFMACHER'S CATECHISM BY THE REV. STEPHEN KEENAN."
I see the Kitten Moderator has allowed this one to live a little while...presumably to give us something to bat around before he gets squashed.
The Battle of New Orleans
-Johnny Horton
In 1814 we took a little trip
Along with Colonel Jackson down the mighty Mississip
We took a little bacon and we took a little beans
And we caught the bloody British in a town in New Orleans
We fired our guns and the British kept a-comin’
There wasn’t nigh as many as there was a while ago
We fired once more and they begin to runnin’
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
(One-two-three, with a-one-two-three)
We looked down a river
(Hut-two)
And we see’d the British come
(Three-four)
And there must have been a hundred of’em
(Hut-two)
Beatin’ on the drums
(Three-four)
They stepped so high
(Hut-two)
And they made their bugles ring
(Three-four)
We stood by our cotton bales
(Hut-two)
And didn’t say a thing
(Two-three-four)
We fired our guns and the British kept a-comin’
There wasn’t nigh as many as there was a while ago
We fired once more and they begin to runnin’
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
Old Hickory said we could take ‘em by surprise
(One-hut, two-three-four)
If we didn’t fire our muskets
(One-hut, two-three-four)
‘Till we looked ‘em in the eye
(One-hut, two-three-four)
We held our fire
(Hut, two-three-four)
‘Till we see’d their faces well
Then we opened up our squirrel guns
And really gave ‘em - well we
Fired our guns and the British kept a-comin’
There wasn’t nigh as many as there was a while ago
We fired once more and they begin to runnin’
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
Yeah, they ran through the briars
(One-hup-two)
And they ran through the brambles
(Hup-two-three-four)
And they ran through the bushes
(Hup-two)
Where the rabbit couldn’t go
(Hup-two-three-four)
They ran so fast
(Hup-two)
That the hounds couldn’t catch ‘em
(One-two-three-four)
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
(One-two, hup-two-three-four)
We fired our cannon ‘til the barrel melted down
So we grabbed an alligator and we fought another round
We filled his head with cannon balls, and powdered his behind
And when we touched the powder off the gator lost his mind
We fired our guns and the British kept a-comin’
There wasn’t nigh as many as there was a while ago
We fired once more and they begin to runnin’
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
Yeah, they ran through the briars
(Hup-one-two)
And they ran through the brambles
(One-two-three-four)
And they ran through the bushes
(Hup-two)
Where the rabbit couldn’t go
(Hup-two-three-four)
They ran so fast
(Hup-two)
That the hounds couldn’t catch ‘em
(One-two-three-four)
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
(One-two, hup-two-three-four)
Hut-two-three-four
Sound off, three-four
Hut-two-three-four
Sound off, three-four
Hut-two-three-four
Hut-two-three-four.
Stopped reading right here.
Luther's Works, Volume 35, Preface to the Epistles of St. James and St. Jude, p365
Though this epistle of St. James was rejected by the ancients, I praise it and consider it a good book, because it sets up no doctrines of men but vigorously promulgates the law of God. However, to state my own opinion about it, though without prejudice to anyone, I do not regard it as the writing of an apostle; and my reasons follow.
In the first place it is flatly against St. Paul and all the rest of Scripture in ascribing justification to works [2:24]. It says that Abraham was justified by his works when he offered his son Isaac [2:21]; though in Romans 4[:2–22] St. Paul teaches to the contrary that Abraham was justified apart from works, by his faith alone, before he had offered his son, and proves it by Moses in Genesis 15[:6]. Now although this epistle might be helped and an interpretation devised for this justification by works, it cannot be defended in its application to works [Jas. 2:23] of Moses’ statement in Genesis 15[:6]. For Moses is speaking here only of Abraham’s faith, and not of his works, as St. Paul demonstrates in Romans 4. This fault, therefore, proves that this epistle is not the work of any apostle.

You should have gone back and read, then. Did Luther remove James from the New Testament? No. It did not happen.
He did have the right to deny it was written by an Apostle. It was common in the Catholic Church at the time to deny James was written by an Apostle.
But did Luther translate it? Yes. Was it printed in the New Testament? Yes.
Why is just the top half of the image wiggling like that? Weird.
Not fully.
“By around 1200-1300 AD, the Catholic Church began its policy of banning B@$T@RDIZED vernacular MIStranslations.”
Fine. Care to explain why Tyndale’s translation was bad? Or Wycliffe’s, whose main fault was that it was a too literal translation of the Latin? Or Luther’s?
It must be on your end. It’s working fine for me.
Ya get that feeling, don’t you? ;)
“What is noob”.....how long has he had internet access? A week?
“Bring it on, Superman!” Lex Luthor
It’s because he’s bald, isn’t it, you don’t like Luthor.
