Rome had done everything in its power to destroy the Wycliffe and Tyndale English Scriptures. Wycliffe’s bones were exhumed and burned by Catholic authorities, and Tyndale was burned at the stake.

Very informative posts, thank you.

I was going to mention Wycliff. One thing that jumps out about him was his belief in Sola Scriptura well before the Reformation. Also, I believe the Albigeneses held to Sola Scriptura and their principal sin was refusing to submit to the Roman Pontiff.

Amen.

Some of the Albigeneses missapplied doctrines that led to licentous behaviour (believing that since the soul and body were detached at the point of salvation, they could sin without affect on the soul)

Had they read Paul more closely they would have seen that grace is never an excuse to sin (Rom.6)
