Introduction
Why do you think that Christians and Christianity have been the objects of extreme persecution throughout its history?
William Tyndale, the man whom God would use to bring the Bible into the common language of the people of England is a perfect example:
Tyndale was a godly man who realized he was out of place among the clergy who were for the most part, themselves, filled with pride, pomp, and ignorance.
Tyndale realized there was no place for him in England to do the work of bringing the Word of God into the language of the common people.
So he set out for Germany.
It was in a conversation with a clergy that became heated that Tyndale’s opponent said: We would rather be without God’s law than without the pope.
Tyndale, full of godly zeal, replied: “I defy the Pope and all his laws.”
He added that if God spared him life, ere many years, he would cause a boy who drives the plough to know more of the Scriptures than he did.
Ultimately Tyndale was betrayed and imprisoned in Filford Castle for 18 months before being condemned, tied to a stake and strangled and his ashes burned.
“Lord, open the King of England’s eyes!”
He was then strangled, and his remains burnt to ashes.
