    Does this mean that all people back then were totally dependant on the false teachings of the catholic church and unable to even be saved because they had no bible or couldn't read it? :eek:

    You may be unknowingly adding to the causes of salvation.

    Ephesians 2:8-10 states that “for by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. For |in Christ Jesus, God made us new people |for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them” (ESV|ICB|ESV).

    We are saved by faith, not reading of Scripture. Most medieval people were illiterate, and that would include Christians. This passage, however, states that they and we are saved "through faith" and "not a result of works," which includes reading Scripture.

    Acts 16:31a says “‘Believe on the Lord Jesus|, and you will be saved’” (ASV|NASB). It is very simple; when we genuinely believe on Jesus Christ as Lord, and conseqently turn from our ways opposed by Him in repentace, and submit our wills to His in obedience because we believe Him to be Lord, we are saved.

    The Orthodox and Catholic denominations have much wrong with them. However, they do teach to laity the things Jesus taught us to do in our regular lives even if they themselves do not follow them, and laity hear and heard at their meetings to follow and obey Jesus Christ as Lord. This is enough; the Lord in His grace took it from there.

    Amen, Brother Darron Steele -- Preach it! :thumbs:

    The King James Versions are inerrant.
    The NIV is inerrant.
    The nKJV is inerrant.
    It behoves us to study the scriptures together to figure out
    why there might seem to be a few seeming contradictions
    within a Version (like the KJVs or between
    two different Versions.

    Smashing somebody else's Bible is just NOT where it is at.

    God has, in His Divine Providence, given us inerrant Bibles
    in all valid English Versions.
