Why was there no Protestant/Pentecostal/Baptist version of the Bible before 1400 AD?

I get it. I always refer to them as "Christians". Your way seems more accurate and less offensive.

None of the books were called anything but scriptures Catholics named what they wanted and the reformation did the other KJV. I am a firm believer that the bible should have never been reduced or tampered with since the Germans did the first copy but every year a new version comes around and people who have itchy ears want a copy and wonder why they are all screwed up with the scriptures!

The Bible is the Inspired Word of God and God gave authority to the Church to finalize it and preserve it for all generations. It has remained essentially the same in the Catholic since the Canon was defined in the early Church in about the fourth century. And all the books that would become the Bible and many others were carefully preserved even through great peril until the canon could be sorted out.
Trust in God. Jesus promised He would never abandon us. And He hasn't.
You speak of itchy ears? Consider this verse very carefully:
1 John 2:19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.
Many have "left" the Church over the centuries, including the time of the Reformation. The Bible warned of this and told us how to know - those that left were not of God, but of their own egos.
IF there is a problem in Christ's Church, Christ takes care of it sooner or later. leaving is never the solution. Many great saints have arisen over the centuries and straightened out even Popes when God wanted them to.
Jesus is the Head of His Church and always has been. Trust in that.

"There are some in the Church, who not only do not do what is good, but even persecute it, and hate in others what they neglect to do themselves. The sin of these men is not that of infirmity or ignorance, but deliberate willful sin." — Pope St. Gregory the Great (AD 540-604)

Wonderful!
I was expecting posters like God4me, Evangelist and Congueror to come here and give evidence. They believe that their sects existed from Day-One of Christianity. I was planning to ask them to show me a copy of the Bible they used throughout the centuries ... in other words I wanted them to show us the oldest copy of the Bible minus the deuterocanonical books. I know that they can not and that is why they opted out. Even the first KJV as well as Luther's and Wyccliffe' translations included the books they now allege were added later.
