"For there is one God, and one mediator also between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, 1Timothy 2:5 (NASB)"

""Maybe the Catholic bible omits that part too."

Nope. It's right there, along with much else that Martin Luther pitched out of the Protestant Bible because, basically, he didn't like what it said.

As he put it....."why should it be so??? Because I, Martin Luther, say it should be so".

Show us what Martin Luther "pitched out" of "the bible".

I really do get sick of this...

I can tell you that you have the contexts somewhat reversed -- as to what action regarding biblical texts were taken-- which that quote is related to.

As a hint --- one might be able to say that it all makes better sense when the texts, and his comments, are reviewed in the German language which he wrote (and translated) them...although there are those purists who would still get themselves into something of a snit over one ~lone~ word bwaahahahhaa
