William Tyndale

 William Tyndale

"You can excommunicate me from the church but not from the Church of Christ victorious." 

William Tyndale was a translator of the Sacred Scriptures who allowed the Sacred Scriptures to be interpreted to the English language. We learn that there was opposition to William Tyndale translating the Sacred Scriptures. This is because during the Dark Ages, there was corruption and there was persecution. We learn that William Tyndale is described being an individual that helped translate the Scriptures to English. 

There was opposition from individuals who did not want him to translate the Sacred Scriptures because this would allow individuals to learn for themselves about the truth that exists in Scripture. We know that throughout different times, there have seen attempts to either add or remove information from Scripture in order to lead to the practice of sin by false prophets or false apostles. We learn that for this reason, it is important to read the Sacred Scriptures so that we do not believe lies.

We learn that William Tyndale had opposition from the Catholic church at a time when there was corruption in the Catholic church. We learn that there was opposition because wicked individuals did not want individuals to learn and read the truth for themselves. We learn that we are able to improve when we read Scripture in order to worship GOD Almighty. We learn that William Tyndale was not discouraged and kept worshiping GOD Almighty with his work. 

We learn that this occurred in the times of the 1500s and describes a time called the Dark Ages due to increased idolatry, sin, and vices. We learn that even when William Tyndale had opposition, he persevered worshiping GOD Almighty and translated the Sacred Scriptures to English. We learn that when he was persecuted to martyrdom, a wicked individual told him that he was excommunicated from the church. To this William Tyndale responded with, "You may excommunicate me from the church, but not from the Church of Christ victorious."
