OK, that sounds more like what it was. Sorry VLAD! My mistake.

Ruy you might be right about me being wrong wall before 2005. I know dangus is right.

Tyndale was executed on the continent - and not in that sliver of France still owned by England. His execution could not have been at the hands of Henry VIII then. I freely admit, however, that years ago I did believe Tyndale had been executed by the English because I had believed what Protestant writers had said about him and all of them had said Tyndale had been 1) executed for translating the Bible, and 2) executed (essentially hunted down and executed) by Henry VIII. It was only after doing some deeper research that I found out Protestants were consistently wrong on the subject.

Twenty five years ago I believed Wycliffe had been executed for translating the Bible because that’s what Protestant sources had said and that had so influenced popular texts and thought. Only when researching the topic did I discover he had never been executed at all and died in his bed! So I freely admit that I might very well have told you something that was completely incorrect about Henry VIII executing Tyndale years and years ago. And if I did that I am very sorry for having done so and apologize. I learned my lesson. I research things and have zero trust now in Protestant renderings of history. Live and learn.
