“...because the only thing that Protestants have accomplished is twisting the truth totally out of shape”

Ah..so you then you must wholeheartedly agree with the rcc decision to burn William Tyndale at the stake, alive, because he dared translate the Bible for the masses instead of keep it strictly relegated to the holy rcc ‘magisterium’?

Gosh...Jesus had it wrong. He should have just taught the academically educated ‘magisterium’ instead of the masses. Nice.

The reason Tyndale was burned at the stake (a common punishment of the day, also administered frequently by Protestants on Catholics, by the way), is because his "translation" wasn't accurate, and introduced various heresies. The Church had ALREADY provided Bibles in native language translations at that time. Try learning some accurate history for a change.

See above. There were lots of translations available to the masses already. Good book "Where we Got the Bible" by Henry G. Graham (a bit dated, having been written 1911, but then, the history was a lot older, so it still covers the basics.)
