“These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be offended. They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth G-d service. And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor me. But these things have I told you, that when the time shall come, ye may remember that I told you of them. And these things I said not unto you at the beginning, because I was with you.” – {Yochanan/John 16:3-4}

 

We were warned they would come, the idolaters, those who would pervert the very word of Elohim and those who blindly follow. Faith became Religion in the marriage of doctrine and pagan practice following Constantine’s Edict to Milan in February, 313 (CE).

 

Pope Innocent III, head of the Church of Rome and ruler of the Papal States from January 8, 1198 through his death in July, 1216; he  and ‘St. Dominic” ‘pioneered’ the truest of the dark ages by persecuting Christians who would not kneel before the foot of Rome and the Papacy. Together, they called for the Fourth Crusade, which was diverted to Constantinople. The pope excommunicated the Crusaders who attacked Christian cities, but he made no move to halt or overturn their actions because he felt, erroneously, that the Latin presence would bring about reconciliation between the Eastern and Western Churches.

 

Pope Innocent III also ordered a crusade against the Albigenses , The Pilgrim Church and it’s refutability of transubstantiation, which subdued the Cathar heresy of France, though at a great cost in life and blood. In the Albigensian Crusade, the war was against their scriptures and teachings which revealed clearly the apostate defection from scripture by the Church of Rome, charged with ‘heresy’; those who preached or read the Gospels were burned alive or other met similar horrid torture. Not ‘witches’ and heretics’ as claimed by the Church of Rome.

 

It would be Pope Gregory IX who ‘ordain’ the Inquisition’ as Official Church Doctrine and began a holy war which would last some 600 years and where some 50 million followers of Christ were murdered and their scriptures were destroyed.

 

If you are a follower of our ministry here at Forgiven Temple, you are aware of our philosophical objections to the addition of the Eucharist by the Church of Rome in worship. Yehoshua, an Ivrim (Hebrew), would never have possibly made reference to the drinking of blood or the eating of flesh. Salvation is received through grace in faith. It is the great reformers such as Martyred former Catholic Priest John Wycliffe, with his Middle English Bible and the reformers like Martin Luther who would preserve scripture over opinion and doctrine of the Church or Rome (in attempts to differentiate His Word from man's). It would be Erasmus who would bring an awakening to the world with his Bible comparing Original Greek text to his translation into Latin printed side by side on the same page. When those who read Latin compared Erasmus’ Latin translation to the Vulgate, the duplicity of the Church of Rome becomes ever so clear. The Church of Rome was more about their man made doctrine than the law of Elohim and the message of Yehoshua Himself.

 

As we read in Revelation:” And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great marvel.”  - {Hhazon/Revelation 17:4-6}:

We have discovered a n accurate description of the Church of Rome. “And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.” –{Hhazon/Revelation 17:9} “And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth."– {Hhazon/Revelation 17:18}

 

Faith through fidelity in His Word is the singular path to knowing Jesus and receiving redemption through grace in faith. So, dear and loving faithful, I leave this day with food for thought in the following scriptures. May they guide you through to all possibility.

 

“Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of G-d; Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began,” – {Tim'itos II/2 Timothy 1:8-9}

 

“But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel: Whereunto I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles.” – {2 Tim'itos II/Timothy 2:9-10}

 

“Verily, verily, I say unto you, That ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: and ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy.” – {Yochanan/John 16:20}
