My journey to atheism
#14
RE: My journey to atheism
At the time of the reformation, Catholics didn't allow Christians to possess and study their own Bibles, and would burn the copies they dared to make. Tyndale was a reformist martyr, his crime was to be the first person to dare translate the scripture from the original greek and hebrew into English. Being that the RCC "interoperated" the Bible for their followers instead of allowing them to study it and interpret it on their own, I'd say we have little to nothing in common with the RCC. The RCC count the 4th century Latin translation as inspired scripture (afforded to it in the council of Trent)! And even that was not translated from Hebrew - Jerome used various sources for the O.T. and the most important one he used was his copy of the fifth column of the Hexapla, something that Origen had made by modifying and consolidating miscellaneous greek translations that scholars like to call "THE" Septuagint, even though there's no "the" about it, and "it" had already been modified before Origen started work on "it". That if "it" actually existed as a codex or fixed collection of translations before 245AD anyway.
