Not Bible translators. Bible mistranslators.
No, William Tyndale was persecuted because his translation was in English and because it has proven to have been more accurate than previous Latin works.
This is settled and documented historic fact. Of course, I appreciate that you find fault with this as it flies in the face of dogma. I imagine you also have an axe to grind against astronomers who tell people that the earth is not the center of a perfect universe.
The Catholic church mistranslated Genesis 3:15 and used the personal pronoun *she* instead of *he*.
And they mistranslate the word *repentance* in the NT as *penance*.
Should those people be burned at the stake as well?
Interesting as well, that you do not condemn the burning at the stake of what you consider someone who mistranslates the Bible.
Do you consider that a capital offense that deserves the death penalty of being burned alive? Do you approve of the Catholic church’s actions in that case?
