“In 1526, William Tyndale completed a translation of the Greek New Testament into English. A few years later he also translated the Pentateuch from Hebrew. Shortly thereafter he was arrested and executed as a heretic—being strangled and then burned at the stake. According to Fox’s Book of Martyrs, Tyndale’s last words were “Lord, Open the King of England’s Eyes.” And it was just a couple years after his death that King Henry VIII authorized the Great Bible in England—a Bible that was largely based on Tyndale’s translation work. The Great Bible laid the foundation for the later King James version (which was completed in 1611).”
Hang on a minute. (no forthcoming pun intended) We are berating the Catholic Church for burning folks at the stake, etc., etc. etc. Yet pointing to Henry VIII as a paragon of Protestant virtue? Didn’t he lop off a couple of his wives heads? Put to death a few dozen (or hundred) folks?
But it’s all good because Ol’ Hen put together the “Great Bible?”
Come on man.
Proverbs 21:1 The king's heart is in the hand of the LORD, as the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will.Peace,
And who said that? Rominists like to point to the sin of others to avoid facing their own sin... Crunch..when the day of judgement comes..God will not say "welcome..you are not as "bad" as so & so".... Heaven will be full of sinners.. that have a Savior ..Hell will be full of people that lived "good lives"
