Nope, up until the time that perverted forms of the Bible began to appear, you could own all that you could find and all that you could afford Oh? Show me the evidence.

#1...bibles existed

#2...bibles could be purchasedp #3...if you could locate one and afford it, there is no evidence anywhere that you could not buy it... and if you could read it, you might do so...but very few could either afford or read one.

I guess you missed my post to you! Go read the evidence that Bibles were banned and Catholics were punished by the Catholic Church for having one!

Nope! You are totally incorrect! The Catholic church DID, in fact, ban laity from owning and reading the Bible. Instead of parroting what the priests have taught you, you should do your own research.

You need to read more history. People were forbidden to have Bibles, they could not own a printing device to make their own copies, etc. if they were caught they were charged with crimes or killed. I read an article which said this was still going on about 1823. Will have to research that more.

There does seem to be 'evidence' that if you actually OWNED one, and were NOT part of the power players; it would cause you trouble.
