The Bible was not available to common people as there was no printing at that time as it is TODAY.
In 1453 AD, printing was invented. Copies of the Bible were made available. In 1517 AD, Martin Luther attacked the Church, But first he vandalized Bible itself. To defend his dogmas, he threw out seven Old Testament books from the early cannons of the Bible (Wisdom, Sirach, Judith, Baruch, Tobit, 1st Maccabees and 2nd Maccabees). He planned to destroy even The New Testament book, 'Letter of James', which spoke against his dictrine ' Sola Fide" (Man is save not by work but faith alone). But James 2:26 says: "Faith without work is DEAD". When opposition mounted, he was satisfied, accusing this Epistle as "Epistle of the straw". So the Bible that is used by Protestants, is partial, incomplete, and unauthentic.
His followers started to fight with each other on the interpretation of the Bible by creating contrary theologies and new dogmas. Thousand of Churches were formed. All believed that the Bible alone is the basis of Faith; a dogma never taught by Jesus, never written in the Bible, nor supported by the Bible. Each church started to change interpretations and even words in the Bible according to thier desire. This resulted in More than 200,000 churches with contrary views, all based in the Bible. All claim the guidance of the same Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit can never do this dirty confusion and total anarchy as it is the Spirit of Truth.
There are more than 700 churches here in the Philippines with the 'Bible alone theory'. Thus, history proved, beyond any doubt, that the 'Bible alone' theory is not from God.
In fact, the Bible became an instrument in the hands of Satan to create Chaos and anarchy in Christendom when it was taken away from its real basis--- the Church founded by Jesus upon Peter. So Jesus warned, (Jn 15:6) "Anyone who does not remain in me will be thrown out like a branch and wither".
