“If someone took a book they didn’t make, a book that had been around for a long long time, changed it and took stuff out, and claimed that it was theirs, what would you think of it?”
Are you claiming that the translator of the Vulgate, Jerome, who declared the apocrypha out of the canon, actually wrote the Old and New Testament scriptures?
“Are you claiming that the translator of the Vulgate, Jerome, who declared the apocrypha out of the canon, actually wrote the Old and New Testament scriptures?”
Let’s follow up then.
1. “Someone took a book they didn’t make”.
This is referring to Luther. The bible existed before Luther, so he didn’t make it.
2. “A book that had been around for a long, long time”,
This is referring to extant evidence for the existence of a full bible back to the 4th century, some 11k years prior to Luther.
3. “changed it and took stuff out”. Look at Luther’s list and the prior Vulgate list. They are not the same.
4. “claimed it was theres”. Again Luther.
I made four claims here - 3 which apply to Luther and one of which applies to the Vulgate.
