Subject: are there errors in the bible? |
Bible Note: "William Tyndale (1493-1536) devoted his life to translating the Bible from the original Greek and Hebrew into English. His print shop was raided and destroyed by the city officials because it was an illegal operation. Tydale was executed for his "heretical" efforts. His last words, in the form of a prayer, were "Lord, open the King of England's eyes." Just three years later, King Henry VIII ordered that every church in England have a copy of the Scriptures in English. Tyndale's Bible would become the basis for the King James Bible, first published in 1611 which, for many today, is still considered England's "official" Bible." taken from "A Guide to the Scriptorium", The Holy Land Experience. It is easy to criticize but more appropriate would be a thankful heart for those men God used to bring the bible to us. These men who were martyred for the word of God are in my estimation most honorable. I am thankful that my God raised up men such as Tyndale for such a time as this. "Esther for 4:14..for such a time as this" |
