You are a conservative, right?
Then why do you believe wiki and pbs? Both leftist sources????????
Oh my, where’s the credibility here?
Salvation,
wikipedia is just a conglomeration of known, cited sources. The biographies I have cited are not opinion pieces. The facts are the Luther was excommunicated; subject to a papal bull; condemned as an outlaw which made him legal to murder. Wycliff was indeed persecuted, Bible translation into common languages was banned, people were killed for it, Tyndale was one of them, Wycliff was dug out of his grave and burned.
These are facts, no historian of any repute disputes them. They are a matter of written record. The fact that they are conglomerated on Wiki does not make them false.
As for PBS, the history series they do called “Secrets of the Dead” is very good. I used their synopsis for their Bible history episode because it is good and summarized the situation succinctly.
I watch all manner of things on PBS, including most of their war history, which I find to be excellent quality. I know they are political liberals, but do you find nothing of value to see on it? I do.
What fact do you dispute? Luther’s excommunication? The papal bull? The outlaw declaration? Tyndale’s persecution and death? Wycliff’s persecution and exhumation? Foxe’s Book of Martyrs? The Inquisition?
These are historical facts, substantiated by plenty of recorded evidence, and their being summarized on Wikipedia or by PBS does not make them lies.
