What your thinking of didn't occur until after the fall nearly 200 years later. and after the fall it wouldn't have mattered what language they kept it in, no one but priests could read.(January 13, 2014 at 4:12 am)Lemonvariable72 Wrote: Actually most of the NT was translated before that.
which only supports the idea that 'rome' was taking the bible out of the hands of the people and putting it in the hands of the elect... Which all begs the question why. If the bible was compiled and supported the doctrines they wanted to push... How much more powerful would it have been if it was left in the common mans hand writting as the word and will of God, Rather than keeping people in the dark and dictating terms?
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
