chucked is a colloquial term for thrown out i.e., “chucked into the garbage...”

Martin Luther had no authority to decide this on his own - he acted as his own pope - declaring himself to have the authority to “re”form (deform)sacred scripture.

So what's the big deal for Catholics anyway?

THEY don't recognize the absolute or ultimate authority of Scripture.

We've been told repeatedly by Catholics that Scripture is subject to the Catholic church, that it's merely oral tradition written down, and the Catholic church is what gives Scripture its authority.

The Catholic church throughout the ages has tried to keep Scripture out of the hands of the unwashed masses, even to the point of making it illegal to own it, and then they criticize Luther for not accepting some books that were never recognized as infallible Scripture in the first place?

Are you all that desperate to slander him that you all go to those kinds of lengths to do so?

Tell me, did the Catholic church take out all the parts about not bearing false witness? Cause it can be shown historically that Luther did not do what he keeps being accused of.

Such POWER!

But...

...did he ACTUALLY produce such a bible?

Yes or no will be acceptable answers.
