Let's begin with Dr. Jeremiah's asinine claim that William Tyndale was a "trained scholar." Actually, Tyndale was a mediocre scholar at best.

Being classically trained at Oxford and being fluent in 8 languages is apparantly not enough to be considered a "trained scholar". Despite that, the author cannot discern the difference between 'trained' and 'mediocre' as being non-sequitor. 'Trained' being an accomplishment and 'mediocre' nothing more than opinion.

Still, because he was a thorn in the Pope's side, I guess that calls for strangulation and becoming a human torch.

Let’s face it, the man was incompetent.

That’s no doubt why textual analysis shows that 84% of the New Testament and 75% of the books he translated from the Old Testament was retained in the King James Version.
