I would not execute someone for publishing a sorry translation of the bible. The Message fits the bill for me as a sorry translation. I’m not praying they get rounded up and offed.
I do think, though, that truth is eternal and not dependent on the times. Murder then is murder now. Adultery then is adultery now. Theft then is theft now.
So, justice is justice. Do you think by our standards that Tyndale received justice?
Would you rather be judged by our standard or theirs?
LOL, nor am I. Like I said, that's not how we would handle it today.

Of course not. But they didn't have our standards back then, did they? I've already said this once so try to pay attention: He was executed for heresy which at the time was the same thing as treason. Even now the penalty for treason is death. By the standard of the time (of which he was undoubtedly aware) he was treated justly.

LOL! By ours, of course! But that is completely irrelevant. They were living in their own times not ours. AGAIN, You have to judge people within the times they lived, not as if everything was the same then as it is now.
