“Imprisoned God’s Word in the Latin language.” I suppose dishonesty doesn’t really matter when your attacking Rome.”
Now that’s rich since very few common folks of the time read Latin. Oh yeah Latin was mostly for the rich folks such as rich money donors. Then you have the loss of translation accuracy when you go from Greek to Latin to Native language. It’s bad enough going from Greek to Native language, but add a third language for no reason and it gets all jacked up. Oh I love how you put catholic saint preaching in their native language, but how dare they be able to read the Scripture for themselves. Your denomination doesn’t teach IAW Scripture anyways, so what does it matter. It’s all about the catechism and tradition right? Funny how the COT made some salvation changing tradition changes, but you still claim that it came from the Apostles. Read your own history and you will realize that you have been boondoggled.
It wasn’t the reading of Scripture by one’s self that was the problem, it was the interpretation of Scripture to one’s own ends that is the problem. And the same problem has persisted since the ‘reformers’ opened Pandora’s Box.
You’re pointing out all these translation problems. How then was it OK for Luther and the boys to ‘jack it up’ further with their interpretations and additions?
