You need to get a grip on historical reality. Literacy was limited in the middle and dark age to only the very few and most historians would attest to that fact. It was only until the early 20th century that universal education was granted to the unwashed masses. Translations were only for the privileged few. I can't believe you are that unaware of these elementary historical facts.

You need to read informed unbiased history. Calling Tyndale's translation a “Good translation” is a prime facile example of the prideful private interpretation employed to deceive the faithful. Tyndale has many heretical problems and is one of those false prophets Jesus spoke of in the bible. See Mt 7:15.

You need to pray for divine inspiration to discern Truth and excise the uninformed false teaching your exhibit in your rants on this forum.

Did you mean prima facie? Give us a few examples of Tyndale's "many heretical problems." Demonstrate, don't merely assert.

Ha ha ha ha. Tell that to Charles Dickens's readership. The literacy rate in 1700's Wales was very high. The literacy rate in New England by the time of the Revolution was about 90 percent. Someone once said, "You need to get a grip on historical reality."

And look at the fruit of universal public education in the 20th century. Literacy rates have DECREASED steadily.

People were literate before because they recognized the importance or being able to read so that they could read the Scripture that the Catholic church had denied it's adherents for so long.

"Literacy was limited in the middle and dark age to only the very few and most historians would attest to that fact."

Odd, then, that as soon as Wycliffe and Tyndale did their translations, that people risked their lives to buy and distribute them.

"Calling Tyndale's translation a “Good translation” is a prime facile example of the prideful private interpretation employed to deceive the faithful."

Tyndale was the basis for the KJV New Testament. The KJV was the basis for the revised Douay-Rheims Challoner in the 1700s.

Tyndale's translation is still available, and I use it regularly. If you don't own one, here is the 1526 edition - feel free to tell me what error you find, and the heresy:
