Well quite honestly this other line of conversation is a lot more interesting.
Beside who really cares about Tyndale?

I for one do

Me too.

William Tyndale was truly a great man and I would certainly say that he was right and heroic in his actions.

 

[1Co13]

Today? Well, priests actually have to undergo seminary education...

And they must abstain from marriage, but God doesnt require abstinence from marriage. So Tyndale was wise.

The churches split way before Tyndale [and some other Reformers] came along

Catholic priests have to. Orthodox priests don't.

Hahaha.

I was wondering why this thread was happening.

LLoJ, why exactly Tyndale?

 

[Erose]

Catholic priests have to. Orthodox priests don't.

To be correct it should be noted that orthodox and for that matter Eastern Catholic priests cannot marry. A married man can become a priest, but a priest cannot marry, in the Eastern Churches.

Tyndale is one of LLoJ's heroes. His patron saint if you will.

Gah, of course, you're right. Thanks for clarifying.

Yes, Eastern Catholics and Eastern Orthodox men who are married can become priests, but Eastern Catholic and Eastern Orthodox priests, once they're priests, cannot get married.

A better way of saying it is that Eastern Catholics and Eastern Orthodox priests can be married, even though they cannot get married.

English translations existed prior to even Wycliff - so it wasnt about translating.
And furthermore - after being condemned by King Henry - The Roman Emperor had Tyndale sentenced to death.
Not the Church.

Saw your name and stopped to say hi!

The myth of the council of Jamnia is exactly that a myth. There is absolutely no evidence that such a council occurred. It seems that this was an invention of a Protestant apologist, to push the establishment of the Jewish canon earlier than the establishment of the Christian canon. Sadly among Protestant scholars this became 'fact' and is still taught in it seems most Protestant versions of Church history.

Yes, I know that the alleged council is not well supported by primary sources. It is quite likely that following the destruction of Jerusalem the Pharisees and perhaps some other rabbis settled in or near Jamnia and at some stage debated the books to be used in synagogue but that is likely to have happened quite some time after 70 AD - probably in the second century AD - and it cannot be construed as a 'council' that 'set a canon' for sacred scripture since the idea of 'canon' is a Christian one rather than a Jewish one and there was no council of Jamnia. The theory about a council of Jamnia was initially proposed by a Polish Jew in mid 19th century AD.

As if seperation of church & state was a concept of any currancy in the Holy Roman Empire.

Seriously. The whole "well, technically the inquisition recommended candidates for execution to the state, and then the state executed them" is like saying "well, the judge didn't have the convict executed, because he handed them over to the prison system first, and certainly the prosecutor didn't have anything to do with it, because he didn't even issue the sentence."

I don't remember church officials ever being surprised that heretics were executed once the inquisition turned them over...

or Anglican England
or Reformed Geneva

really, the modern understanding of separation of Church and State was born from deists and Enlightenment scholars

medieval Christianity did have an understanding of the Church and State operating in different spheres, but it is not anything close to how modern Americans view the idea
but given how modern Americans view everything from drone strikes to cohabitation, I am not sure we should be getting our moral cues from "modern Americans"

Fortunately, I doubt that anyone here is deriving their moral cues from secular society. Would that there were more Christians in society and not a handful of us debating how many angels can dance on the head of Tyndale.

I am sure many many angels are dancing on his head right now

Sharing the scriptures with the world is a good thing.

my dearest brother in Christ, and my friend, what does that mean? What kind of angels are we speaking of and would that be of God? :o
