Why do Protestants revere English murderous Rebels like Luther, King Henry, and KIng James more than those who came a millenium before who put it together in the first place?

Dunno, but don’t ever try to tell a Baptist that King James was a tyrant. It doesn’t even matter if you have historical texts to back up how horrible KJ was, they’ll take your head off.

You’re asking why fundamentalists don’t worship the Bible.
I like this question.
Are you acknowledging that you non-fundies do worship the Bible?
I knew it. I have waited for months to get you to admit it though.

King James Bible
The books in the bible were decided before King James had a version written. Even then, there were books excluded. At this point, amassing a book with all the scriptures would be a daunting task. No one has or would be able to agree on just what are the most important books of the bible, both old and new testaments. There is just too much information to be looked over.

The ignorance of history shines through here.

And the Catholics never tortured/killed anybody right?
2Timothy3:16 & 17
And Yes the King James is the MOST accurate!

First, as a former Roman Catholic, I find your tirade ill informed and full of false information (Luther was German, not English, and if you didn’t mean for it to read that way, try commas). So, are you really an Islamist terrorist attempting to ferment discord amongst God’s people? Sounds like it. A Blessed New Year to you.

Excuse me, but you have a rather distorted view of history.
First, the Apocrypha was not included in the Roman Bible until after the Council of Trent, which then declared that they were inspired Scripture. The Romans had the Apocrypha, but didn’t consider them Scripture until the Protestants decided against their inclusion in the Protestant one. This was merely an act of rebellion against the rebel Protestants.
Martin Luther was a monk, and was German, not English. King Henry and King James are not at all venerated by Protestants, and the Bible that King James commissioned used the Masoretic Text of the Hebrew Bible and the Textus Receptus for the New Testament. The translators decided against using Jerome’s Vulgate, because they wanted to go with the original language texts, rather than a translation of the original texts. Further, the King James Bible actually included the Apocrypha until 1640, nearly 30 years after it was published!

Having spent a good deal of time listening to protestant ministers, I’ve never heard one revere any of the kings of England. I don’t recall Luther being “murderous”; if you could show me where he was, that would be interesting.
As far as murderous though, that’s not limited to Protestants. The Cathoic church, in the Crusades and Inquisition was quite handy with the sword and flame.
The main reason that the protestants broke away from the Catholic Church was due to the practices that Luther saw as non-Biblical, and against the teachings of Christ. Such things as the selling of indulgences.
True, the Protestants have fewer books in the Bible than the Catholics. Then again, the Catholics have fewer books than the Egyptian Orthodox. The Jews fewer than the Protestants, and the Samaritans less still. Whose list do you recommend we go with?

Please read for comparisons and I hope you’ll find the truth of Faith in Christ is the ONLY way to salvation. God offers a free GIFT of salvation. Why is it that catholics think they must work for this? ( See Ephesians 2:8,9 ) not sure if it’s been omitted from the catholic bible tho..many verses are

The catholics change the word’s God, they make their own soup, like the priest can’t get married, imagine if everybody want to be a priest “bye bye humanity”
The protestants change also the word’s God. They don’t follow the teaching of Jesus..
So they’re just all the same, anyway..

There are NO books missing, everything is in there that God wanted in there. He has the ability to make sure His Word is told as He wants, and be told completely.

I don’t understand the King James Only Controversy.
This is in regards to your section question.
Why do you lump all protestants together? And Luther was not English, he was German.
Although you have a lot of good questions, your rant makes you look as ignorant as the people you are upset with.
