Every Christian's bible comes from the Catholic Church historically speaking.

wrong and what the church puts out is not bible it is just what they interpret or think inother words it is of man

The Vatican is a collector of religious objects. For centuries, the bible for the public, if it wasn't in Latin, was burned along with anyone in possession of the bible in their own language. The Latin version was chained to the monastery wall not accessible to the public. Church services were done in Latin. The common people would just have to take the priests, monks word for it. The common people were not allowed to read the bible. The absolute control over the bible and its contents lasted for over a century. That is why you have historically the people who translated the bible into the common language were known as great reformers. John Wycliffe (1330 -1384) Translated some of first versions of Bible into English. He placed greater emphasis on scripture advocating Bible centred Christianity. William Tyndale (1494–1536 ) was one of the first persons to print the Bible in English. He worked on translating the Bible into English even when it was deemed to be an illegal act. He was executed for blasphemy after years of avoiding capture. Johannes Gutenberg (1400-1468) Gutenberg was the inventor of movable type printing in Europe. This started a ‘printing revolution; which enabled the spread of printed works across Europe. Also produced the ‘Gutenberg Bible’. This invention was critical in enabling the spread of the printed works of the Protestant reformation. And the list goes on.

And what is a "Hebrew mindset"

You don't know what a Hebrew mindset is? Shame on you. Go back to your Hebrew roots!

The first portions of the bible translated into English were translated in the seventh century AD:

Although John Wycliffe is often credited with the first translation of the Bible into English, there were, in fact, many translations of large parts of the Bible centuries before Wycliffe's work. The English Bible was first translated from the Latin Vulgate into Old English by a few select monks and scholars. Such translations were generally in the form of prose or as interlinear glosses (literal translations above the Latin words). Very few complete translations existed during that time. Rather, most of the books of the Bible existed separately and were read as individual texts. Thus, the sense of the Bible as history that often exists today did not exist at that time. Instead, an allegorical rendering of the Bible was more common and translations of the Bible often included the writer’s own commentary on passages in addition to the literal translation.

Toward the end of the 7th century, the Venerable Bede began a translation of scripture into Old English (also called Anglo-Saxon). Aldhelm (c. 639–709) translated the complete Book of Psalms and large portions of other scriptures into Old English.

In the 10th century an Old English translation of the Gospels was made in the Lindisfarne Gospels: a word-for-word gloss inserted between the lines of the Latin text by Aldred, Provost of Chester-le-Street. This is the oldest extant translation of the Gospels into the English language.

The Wessex Gospels (also known as the West-Saxon Gospels) are a full translation of the four gospels into a West Saxon dialect of Old English. Produced in approximately 990, they are the first translation of all four gospels into English without the Latin text.

In the 11th century, Abbot Ælfric translated much of the Old Testament into Old English. The Old English Hexateuch is an illuminated manuscript of the first six books of the Old Testament without lavish illustrations and including a translation of the Book of Judges in addition to the 5 books of the Pentateuch.​

And many people killed for having a bible or disagreeing with that church.

I do not think that is true, it certainly was not true for those who used the bibles from the Old English and Middle English periods. Tyndale was executed because Henry VIII ordered it and also because he was a heretic. Having a bible was not a crime in England.

Depends when it was and the Catholic church went far beyond England, they had a death grip on many countries and ruled them

It's odd how jaundiced your statements are. Rather than say that many nations had Catholic citizens you choose to say "had a death grip". I can't help but notice the depths of prejudice in your language. How did you come to have so much of it?

By reading history of the martyrs and of nations especially during the dark ages when that was true in many places

What are your sources?

Book of Martyrs

 

[MoreCoffee]

Foxes?

and?

Bad sources make for terrible theology and deep prejudices. Foxes book of martyrs is a bad source. It poisons many a person's perspective. Its unhealthy effects cause many to ignore the truth and believe a lie.

After the Bible itself, no book so profoundly influenced early Protestant sentiment as the Book of Martyrs. Even in our time it is still a living force. It is more than a record of persecution. It is an arsenal of controversy, a storehouse of romance, as well as a source of edification."

Yes, and a very unhealthy influence it has been. Look at what it's done in CH. See how your posts and bills are so full of vitriol aimed at Catholicism.
