If you think history is boring—think again! God has kept His promise to preserve His pure words. History shows us how God has miraculously protected His word of truth throughout its birth and publication!
The historic record dramatically connects the Roman Catholic Church, the Jesuits, the Reformation, the Inquisition, the Rosary, the Alexandrian Text (Sinaiticus and Vatacanus), the Apocrypha, the Maccabees, and Westcott and Hort’s corrupted Greek text, proving God has many enemies.
GOD HAS KEPT HIS PROMISE TO PRESERVE HIS PURE WORDS DESPITE SOME MEN’S RESISTANCE
Since the time of Constantine the Pope has historically represented heaven on earth and his voice considered the voice of God. As time went on the Roman Catholic church got almost everyone to believe that it was really the Apostle Peter who was the first Pope. But Peter could never have been a Pope because the scriptures record in Mark 1:30 the fact that Peter was married. Also Peter was never in Rome. Galatians 2:8 tells us that God chose Peter to go to the circumcised (the Jews) and Paul to the Gentiles (anyone not a Jew).
No one questioned the Pope’s authority, though. According to the Council of Trent, when the Pope speaks “Ex-Cathedra,” He speaks as the voice of God. The Pope claimed to be the only authorized representative of Christ on earth, and murdered anyone opposing him.
Constantine (who secretly worshipped The Sun God) ordered a man named Eusebius (The Bishop of Caesarea) to make him 50 bibles. Eusebius had a choice of using the Greek Manuscripts from Alexandria, Egypt, or to use the manuscripts from Antioch, to make up his 50 Greek bibles. Eusebius was not a real Christian. He believed the same way Origen did. Origen was a scholar that became head of the “Center of Christian Learning and Culture” in Alexandria, Eqypt. But they had a problem! They didn’t believe in a real heaven or hell, nor did they believe the Bible was the word of God, nor did they believe that Jesus was God Almighty. When they got a hold of copies of the real Bible manuscripts they started making changes to them. Origen was an Arian. Today Origen would be called a Jehovah’s Witness. He believed Jesus was a lesser God. Origen (184 A.D. – 254 A.D.) was mightily used by Satan to corrupt Bible manuscripts.
There was no way Eusebius would touch those manuscripts from Antioch. So he used the corrupted manuscripts of Egypt to make his 50 bible for the Roman Catholic church [ Read “Constantine,” published by Ramsay Mac Mullen, pg 112 ].
The Roman Catholic church slowly grew in power. Out of the 50 “bibles” made up by Eusebius came the Latin Vulgate. The Latin Vulgate bible, written by Jerome, became the official bible for the Roman Catholics. All others were outlawed.
Meanwhile, some of the true Christian believers (called Waldenses or Vaudois) had copies of the real scriptures from Antioch. They had to hide up in the Alps for protection. Rome would not put up with competition, so when they caught one of them, they burned them to death!
Great changes were taking place. The pagans were allowed to bring their statues and idols of Semiramis (The Queen of Heaven) and Tammuz (Baal, The Sun God) into the church. The names were changed to the Virgin Mary, “Queen of Heaven” and little Jesus. Baal worship, started by Semiramis and Nimrod, had successfully moved into the Roman Catholic Institution.
[ NOTE: By 1950 the Roman Catholic church had raised the Virgin Mary to goddess status with the power to be Co-Saviour and Co-Redeemer with Christ…exactly like Semiramis! The dogma of the immaculate conception (saying Mary was born without original sin) was established in 1854. The dogma of the Assumption of Mary into Heaven (which means she never died) was established in 1950. Artwork depicting halos above Mary’s head and the Saint’s heads are a symbol of the SUN. Despite the fact that the Bible forbids the worship of the Queen of Heaven, in the 7th and 44th chapters of Jeremiah, the Roman Catholic Institution says that Mary is Queen of Heaven and Earth. ]
The confessionals were again set up like they had been in Babylon under the rule of Nimrod’s wife, Semiramis (Queen of Babylon). Semiramis was just as evil as she was beautiful, and became the model for goddess worship over the entire world. She was known as Innanna, Ishtar, Astarte and Ashtoreth. Their Satanic religion began in secret with the most horrible occult practice of sacrificing babies! When Nimrod’s great uncle, got wind of these things, he killed Nimrod for his crimes against God. Instead of letting her husband’s death destroy her power, she decided to convince the people that Nimrod was a god. Semiramis had an illegitimate son named Tammuz. The people believed her when she lied and said he was the reincarnation of her husband Nimrod. When he grew up she had her son killed, claiming to the people that he had become the sun god, “Baal.” Then she was known as the goddess, “The Queen of Heaven.” The people loved her. Soon, statues appeared of Semiramis holding her husband/son, Tammuz…the sun god. Baal worship spread worldwide. In Egypt, Semiramis was called Isis, The Queen of Heaven. Her husband/son, Osiris, commonly called Horus, the Sun God. In China she was called Shing Moo (Holy Mother of China). In ancient Phoenecia she was called Ashtoreth. She was known as Diana in Asia Minor [ Read: “The Two Babylons,” by Alexander Hislop and “Babylon Religion,” by David Daniels ].
Thus, the Roman Catholic church copied Semiramis’ evil methods and got the people under their control through the use of confessionals. The people were very afraid that the priests might expose their secrets, therefore the people did not oppose the Church leaders. The word of God was kept from the people. The stronger the Popes became, the deeper the world sank into the dark ages. Millions went to hell. Satan was delighted.
Meanwhile, the Waldenses were exuberant soulwinners! They loved our Lord Jesus Christ, and came down from the Alps to show copies of the true scriptures to some of the Roman Catholics. These Roman Catholics were amazed to see that Jesus loved them, and by simply believe by faith, in Jesus’ death, burial, and resurrection, the Bible assured them they would go to heaven.
Rome exploded in anger. She launched an all-out war to destroy the Waldenses and their Holy Scriptures. They were tortured and slaughtered, but some got away with their manuscripts. Other groups that suffered too were the Anabaptists, Bogomiles, Donatists, Albigenses, etc.
By now, no one could stand up to the powerful Popes and the Roman Catholic Institution. Even Kings were afraid of them. Then the Roman Catholic church invented “The Inquisition” to strengthen their power over the people. The Inquisition was a form of questioning which always involved torturing a person until that victim confessed to whatever the Catholics wanted to hear. They were tortured until they admitted to being heretics and after confession they were usually burned to death for their crimes. Of course, the Church and State shared their property and possessions.
[ NOTE: The Inquisition also spread to Mexico and Latin America. When it almost stopped around 1800, the total victims had reached close to 68 million at the hands of the Roman Catholic Institution. The amazing thing is that no one talks about it. It has all been beautifully hushed up. Read “The Other Side Of Rome” by John B. Wilder, an Ex-Roman Catholic Jesuit-Priest. ]
In the 1500’s Pope Leo X needed money to put up a new building (Basilica) so he sent preachers our (one of them was John Tetzel) to sell indulgences. Any Romans Catholic who was guilty of sin or crime, even murder, could buy an indulgence, be set free by the courts, be forgiven and guaranteed entrance into heaven.
God’s Spirit started moving in the hearts of certain men to rise up against these evil forces. A young Augustinian monk in Germany found a Bible and read these words, “The just shall live by FAITH.” It blew his mind! He realized it wasn’t the Roman Catholic Church that could get him into heaven. It was by trusting in God through Christ Jesus, our Lord and Saviour. That verse changed his life. His name was Martin Luther.
Luther exploded in anger when he saw John Tetzel selling indulgences [ i.e. supposed time out from purgatory ] to the people. So, Luther wrote a list of 95 arguments against these false indulgences and nailed it to the Church door in Wittenberg, Germany, on October 31, 1517.
Luther’s action sparked the Reformation as masses rebelled against the brutal iron fist of the Vatican. Luther translated the Textus Receptus manuscripts into the German tongue, giving Germany “The word of God” [ In 1525-35, Tyndale did the same thing in English, and Rome burned him at the stake for his efforts. Watch the movie about Tyndale called “God’s Outlaw.” ].
The Pope wanted Luther’s hide! The people that joined Luther were called “Protestants” and “heretics” because they protested (objected to) Rome’s heavy hand and resisted. This was called the “Reformation.” It began to spread across Europe.
The Roman Catholic Church was in deep trouble in 1534. The Vatican’s power was falling apart. Everywhere, the pope was called “the antichrist,” and Church wanted to put an end to such accusations.
Pope Paul III ordered a Spaniard named Ignatius de Loyola to set up the “Order of the Jesuits.” In 1540, Satan, through Pope Paul III, officially welcomed Loyola and his deadly Jesuits into the Roman Catholic system. These were the best minds of Rome. Their job was to stop the spread of Protestantism at all costs. Loyola became the founder and the General of the Jesuits. The Jesuits, dedicated to the complete destruction of the TEXTUS RECEPTUS, and denying that it is verbally inspired by the Holy Spirit, place their own theology and philosophy above God’s word of truth. And this is still going on today.
In 1229 A.D. the Bible was placed on the list of forbidden books by the Synod of Toulouse. Satan’s next attack came in 1546 during the Council of Trent. The Vatican declared that the Apocrypha was “Holy Writ,” and officially part of their Old Testament Canon.
Anyone rejecting this was damned as a heretic and burned at the stake. This dangerous law is STILL in effect and will be used in any future inquisition. When Bible believers were caught with copies of the word of God, they were slaughtered and the Scriptures were burned. The name given to the preserved word of God, those manuscripts from Antioch, was “Textus Receptus” (the Received Text).
Satan intensified the war by creating the horrible Inquisition. The word of God was the Number One target. Homes of the Christians were torn apart brick by brick looking for the Textus Receptus manuscripts and translations. Today most young people haven’t even heard of the Inquisition because the Roman Catholic Church is doing such a beautiful job of covering it up.
Rome claims there is no salvation outside the Catholic church, while the Textus Receptus teaches salvation comes only through faith in Jesus Christ’s death, burial and resurrection. And so it was “search and destroy time” for the Vatican. Satan engineered unbelievable tortures and violent deaths at the hands of his counterfeit church. It claimed 68 million victims from 1200 AD onward, and it was done “for the greater glory of God.”
The Lord Jesus hates this satanic system whose religious leader dares to call himself “The Holy Father.” Jesus calls it “the mother of harlots and abominations of the earth.” (See Rev. 17:5 KJV)
The Jesuits secretly engineered the massacre of St. Bartholomew August 24, 1572. They used Roman Catholic troops and “Dominican Monks” for the job. They were the muscle of the Inquisition. Without warning they murdered the unarmed Bible believers in Paris. The blood ran for a week and the Protestant movement in France was destroyed. In celebration the Pope ordered the ROSARY said in every Roman Catholic Church thanking the virgin Mary for their victorious slaughter.
Their next target was England. The Roman Catholic struggle to win back England had gone on for years. Jesuits were sent undercover to capture key positions and to translate Origen’s Alexandrian manuscripts into an English bible in 1582.
They hit England with Jesuit bibles, but the English people rejected them. Rome was furious!
In 1588 Spain sent her mighty fleet (The Armada) to capture England, but English guns and storms at sea destroyed them. England was saved from becoming Roman Catholic. In 1603 James became King of England. He wanted a new Bible for the English people.
For the Old Testament, they decided to use the same manuscript that the Jews used. It was called the “Massoretic Text.” Time proved this to be the right choice. King James assembled a group of 48 men that God had prepared for this work. They were the greatest scholars the world had ever seen.
First, they had to assemble manuscripts. When the King James Bible was prepared, everything was done in the open. So much material showed up that was exact copies of the manuscripts from Antioch that it became 98% of the evidence. After years of work the masterpiece was finished in 1611. They finally had the completed pure word of God.
They eventually rejected both the Old and New Testament that Origen worked on back in Egypt, because it was so corrupted.
This included:
~ Roman Catholic Latin Vulgate & Rheims (1582)
~ Greek Septuagint (Bible of Alexandria, Egypt)
Certain advisors trusted by King James were deep Catholic agents. Now was their opportunity to serve “Mother Church.” Puritans suspected that some of these men chosen to assist them were not of God. So, they complained to King James, but he overrode their objections. The plot was to secretly switch the text containing God’s word and replace it with readings from their Vatican and Alexandrian manuscripts.
God stopped these undercover Jesuits from destroying His word by having guards posted at their tables watching every move they made. However, one of Satan’s major attacks involved the “Apocrypha.” These were Jewish semi-historical moral stories written after Malachi and before Jesus came. From these came the false teaching of purgatory, prayers from the dead and other perversions of God’s word which are now taught by the Roman Catholic system.
Some of these falsified stories were about the Maccabees. The Maccabees were idolized as Jewish Freedom Fighters and their books were called “scripture” by the Catholic Council of Trent. These are NOT God’s words. True Christians have always rejected them, but today they are showing up in modern bibles produced by Catholics and influenced by Jesuits.*
Satan had tried desperately to put his “Apocrypha” into the Old Testament. But it was rejected and denounced by most Jewish rabbis as counterfeit, and thanks to the Ex-Jesuits’ tip-offs, so did the King James Bible committee eventually reject the Apocrypha [ NOTE: The Lord Jesus never once quoted or recognized the Apocrypha as being Scripture, and neither did His apostles ].
During the making of the King James Bible, the undercover Jesuits attempted to place the Apocrypha in the Old Testament, which also failed. Their last mission was accomplished (on a temporary basis) by placing the apocrypha BETWEEN the Old and the New Testaments. Once the Apocrypha was between the covers of the Protestant Bible, the Jesuits believed that the Protestants would finally accept it as Holy Writ, and then turn to the Vatican as their final authority.
Now that the King James Bible was printed, the Jesuits swore to destroy those Protestant translators who opposed them. They tried to systematically eliminate both their enemies and their families. Later, two Jesuits were soundly converted and they informed the Puritans of the conspiracy against the Protestant movement and the word of God. The Puritans were now on the alert. The Jesuits feared that a widely-read English Bible, without the Apocrypha, would end Catholicism’s power and block any future ecumenical movement.
Later, the surviving Puritans brought forth the entire 1611 edition of the Bible without the Apocrypha. This was God’s victory over the Jesuit conspiracy! God blessed His Holy word in English. Preachers taught it with boldness and assurance. Millions heard its message and were saved! So, none dared to add to it or change God’s pure words perfectly preserved. Missionaries began bringing light to the dark places of the world … while in the Vatican they were grinding their teeth in anger planning their next insidious move.
Under instructions from the Jesuits, new cries could be heard in England, like “Let’s update the Bible! It’s obsolete!” Then Satan acted again. Against protests, a committee was formed to create a “new and better” translation of the Bible. Two men in the committee, Westcott and Hort (“closet Catholics”*), put tremendous pressures on the others to accept Satan’s Alexandrian manuscripts (Sinaiticus and Vatacanus) from which they produced their new Bible. Satan pulled it off.
Unknown to the Protestants, they were now stuck with a Roman Catholic bible called “The Revised Version.” The Vatican was again on the offensive to wipe out the word of God. The Jesuits were then sent to infiltrate all Protestant theological seminaries and Bible societies. In time, the Jesuits got into the Bible departments to teach the young, impressionable, future Protestant pastors.
The Greek** they used (and still use today) was from Satan’s Alexandrian manuscripts. Of course, they wouldn’t match up. But the students didn’t know they were being deceived. Daily in their classes the word of God was criticized and cleverly put to ridicule. Young men who came to Bible College believing that the King James Bible was the word of God were soon turned against it.
The Vatican was so successful that today almost every Protestant school of theology relies on Satan’s Alexandrian manuscripts as their final authority. Their light has gone out. Their final authority is no longer the word of God. In the last 80 years we’ve had over 80 new English bibles—all Roman Catholic—based upon Origen’s corrupted text, all trying to push the old King James Bible out of existence. Soon there will be one common ecumenical bible for all the religions of the world, preparing the way for the antichrist.
Today, pastors and radio preachers constantly correct the word of God and recommend other translations. Even up to the present day from behind the pulpits, on the airways, and from the internet we commonly hear the slanderous phrase, “…but according to the ‘original’*** Greek it should say…”.
“The Vatican is busy secretly pouring millions of dollars into multitudes of new bible translations, each one based on their own corrupted manuscripts.”****
In the past, men have given their lives for the word of God. Today, most of our Christian leaders don’t even believe we have God’s pure word of truth preserved.
When the “Dead Sea Scrolls” were found in 1948, they discovered that the Book of Isaiah scroll was from the “Massoretic Text.” The King James Bible was right on target. You’d think that that discovery would have opened Christian leader’s minds, but it hasn’t. Almost all Protestant churches today continue to use Satan’s bibles. Why? Because sadly, they don’t believe God kept His promise to preserve His word [ Read Psalm 12:6-7 KJV ].
NOTE: God blessed England and America as long as they honored the Authorized King James Bible.
