Thou madest him a little lower than the angels...” (vs. 7). So that puts

he angels in pretty rough shape according to some irreverent thinkers. Others

have said: “He was made a little lower than angels and has been getting lower

ever since.” “Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst

him with glory and honour,” (All right, there is old Adam with his original

commission: Gen. 1:28) “and didst set him over the works of thy hands.”

Again the reference is to Adam (see Gen. 1:26). “Thou hast put all things in

subjection under his feet...” (That is Adam again, and the commission is

repeated to Noah: Gen. 9:1–2.) “For in that he put all in subjection under

him, he left nothing that is not put under him...” (v . 8). That is, everything on

this earth up to the flight of the eagle (Psa. 115:16) was given to man to conquer

and run “...But now we see not yet all things put under him” (vs. 8). Then all

things are not in subjection to man because Adam fell and fallen man is under

the DEVIL. The kingdoms of this world are not “man’s”; they are the Devil’s

(see the exact Biblical statement in Luke 4:6). What God promised, Adam didn’t

get. The Lord told Adam to “be fruitful” and to “multiply, and replenish the

earth” with painless childbirth. Eve didn’t get painless childbirth. God told

Adam to have dominion over the earth, and he wound up being buried in it.

Observe how all of this matches Luke 1:30–33 where God promised the “last

Adam” (1 Cor. 15:45) THE THRONE OF DAVID. Did He get it? He got a

wooden cross and a crown of thorns. “...But NOW we see not yet all things

put under him” (vs. 8).

Something interrupted the original conunission. If God told Adam to

“multiply, and replenish the earth,” where would all of his descendants have

gone to find a place to sit down? Eve could have had as many children as she

wanted (one a year if she wanted them) without any pain. No pain, no

discomfort, no hospital bills! Why, if she had had only one child every five

years, and each of her descendants had had one for five years, there would have

been over 500,000,000,000 people on this earth before Noah was born! If there

had been no universal flood to wipe out such a population explosion, there

would now be on this earth (after all the wars, pestilences, floods, earthquakes,

and famines had taken their toll) more than 500,000,000,000,000 people. You

wouldn’t have room to lie down.

One of the very strongest scientific arguments against evolution is a

computerized, mathematical argument which all evolutionists simply refuse to

discuss. If “man” has been here more than 500,000 years—and Leakey has now

run it back to 2,000,000—where are all the people? If each “man” had had only

two children in his family since 500,000 B.C., and there was no flood to wipe

them out in 2300 B.C., where are the 500,000,000,000 people that should have

been here, before Christopher Columbus?

What did God mean by telling Adam to do such a thing? Obviously, there

are some more “worlds” available (see the correct reading of the AV in Heb.

11:3 and 1:2!!) to populate.

A fellow said to me one time: “You mean to tell me that all that salvation

stuff happened here on earth with just one Saviour? I’m sure there are other

saviors and other gods on other planets to populate.”

I said, “Yeah, man, it all happened right down here.”

He said, “Well, what about that out there?” (He pointed up to the galaxies.)

I said, “That’s exactly why God let it happen down here. He didn’t want to

stink up the whole mess.”

You see, there is “power in NEGATIVE thinking” where you can get some

truths much quicker than with “Positive” thinking. In positive thinking you think:

“Well, man is good, and everything is alright. It’s meant for us to go up there

and populate those galaxies, now, in our present condition. After all, I’m all

right, and you’re all right!”

That is the way you can’t get the truth.

Look at it this way: “That whole thing out there is to be populated someday,

and God is not going to let us do it because we are no good, and all we would do

would get some interplanetary wars started.” That way things begin to make

sense, because you see why God let the whole drama of sin and death be worked

out in the smallest place he could find; He got an old peanut of an earth back

here in the back end of an S shaped nebula at the rear end of a solar system.

What would be the point in populating outer space with a pack of sex crazy,

moneymad, Bible rejecting, self righteous, God defying sinners? Wouldn’t that

be rather stupid? A killer is a killer no matter where you put him. Men say, “ Oh,

no, we wouldn’t do that,” and then spend over $20,000,000 watching Star Wars,

Star Trek, and Battlestar Galactica. People are weird, aren’t they? You tell them

what they will do with outer space, they deny it, and then go ahead and do it

anyway. Some incredible idiot at a state university is always babbling about

“new frontiers,” and the superstitious nut (all evolutionists are superstitious nuts)

says, “Well, what if Columbus had taken that attitude and not discovered

America?” I suppose that you would still have just intracontinental wars instead

of two world wars. I also suppose that the American Indians would still be

enjoying nature. They would have all of the fresh food and meat they wanted all

year round, and their women would do the cooking and the work while the men

were fighting, hunting, and fishing. Do you know of a better way to live? No

carbon monoxide, no taxes, no telephones, no hospital insurance, no integration,

no inflation, and no electric bills. I don’t understand things. If I had been in

Spain, and Columbus had come back and said, “I found it,” I would have said,....

The two oldest bibles of the world, two FAKEs?? [video]

 >

Really, I cannot understand. People attacks dispensationalism, dispensational salvations and especially the dispensational interpretation of the book of Revelation, making association with some things that a cardinal Jesuit affirmed about that. 

BUT... at the same time, the same crowd doesn't tell anything about the "modern versions of the bible", which are based on a preconceived hatred towards the King James Bible, and are using CATHOLIC manuscripts and texts....

Strange the world, isn't it? It seems rather that the attack against the "Jesuitical futurism" works as a distraction, taking your attention away from the fact that when you study your bible, you are studying from a CATHOLIC bible, no matter how much you imagine to find in it "fundamentalist", "protestant", "baptist" even "anti-Catholic" doctrines. 

If you study from an ESV, NIV, RSV, NRS, etcetera, you are studying from bibles whose text is a Catholic text. The Jesuits' plan of taking back the "protestant" flock is very simple, let the heretic study from our bible.

Below two video in which David Daniels and Christian Pinto are discussing how the Sinaiticus and Vaticanus, the two "oldest bibles in the world!", believed to be written in the fourth century, are two fake bibles, one created in the 19° century, the other in the 15° century:

How much do you talk with the Lord?

 >

I had a serious issue with the Lord. I had the habit to not talk with Him, only rarely and superficially. I was backsliding in my fellowship with Him. Until a sermon of Pastor Jae Joo woke me up. I realized that I was a bad Christian, because if you forget to talk to Him you lose the only source of salt for YOUR life. 

I realized that I was mostly acting in a godly way but not so much to please Him, rather, for another obscure reason. To try to be godly, blameless, had a reason I would not admit to myself: to avoid the necessity to come to Him, not for forgiveness, (we have been already  forgiven by Him from all our sins at Calvary), but to express to Him my repentance, to tell Him the troubles of my flesh, to tell Him about my confusion and my WEAKNESS.

Pride maybe?

You take your time to do thousands of things in your life, even godly, blameless things. Even soul winning, Bible study, church ministry attendance, whatever you want. BUT, if you forget, or you use all this godly activity in order to lay aside your daily talk with the Lord, you are not OK with Him. Your Christian walk is a fake, a vain deception. So I realized that this was my condition.

* * *

When you seriously pray, it is like you open a channel that goes through the sea of glass of the third heaven.  The third heaven is beyond any galaxy. Paul was there and came back (Acts 14:19, 2 Corinthians 12:2-4). To pray is something similar to the rapture. 

We tend to pray to our flesh often, instead to turn to God. Unsaved, uncircumcised people make their god out of their flesh. Born again, spiritually circumcised Christians, often slide back in their previous condition, with the difference that they make no more a god out of their flesh like the unsaved, but yet give to it still attention, especially in the moment of weakness and spiritual emptiness. 

Understanding and being aware of this weakness, is extremely important for the growth of a new born creature. But no intellectual godly work on the Scripture can grant a serious and lasting success, without true prayer. After I realized how important is the "channeling with God" (forgive me this term, sarcastically taken from the New Age movement :-D ),  I didn't suddenly transform myself in a true "prayer warrior", like those famous old style preachers. My flesh, aided by Satan, still fights against my soul in order to distract her from continue prayer. I have to impose the will of the Spirit on my flesh.  Even brutally. Even when I feel that my heart is void of any least feeling toward God, I order to my fleshy body to kneel down on the hard ground in a very retired closet. Until the filth of my heart, accumulated after hours of a godless daily life with a lot of sins gulped down like candies, would finally be found and showed to me by a grieved Spirit of God (Eph 4:30).

At this moment your soul start to be free from your sins, and breath the Spirit of Christ which is in you, the hope of glory (Col 1:27); you feel the soul like attracted from above meanwhile the filthiness dissolves like thrown in a nuclear furnace!... 

We have really a good God!... Why are you wasting time fornicating with your own body? Talk to the Lord, He never sleeps, never puts "OFFLINE" on His Holy counter window. Lost humanity asked help to fallen angels (Babel's Tower) or today build mega-rockets (NASA, SpaceX) to access that counter window. You don't need of this stuff, just go down on your knees and you are there.

2:40, has God given to you time to spend with Him, at least some portion of your day with Him in quiet time? ...You are spending all those times with something else rather than the Lord... and can you imagine anything better than to spend time with the Lord?... 

3:40 quiet time is literally the secret ingredient for you to have a great Christian life... if you don't have quiet time you don't have that secret super important ingredient in your life

4:34 as a Christian, if you do not have quiet time every day, it's a daily activity, it's daily time, if you don't do it on a daily basis then it's going to make you become cold

Below, some Bible verses which can help you to focus on the prayer as a daily habit, to consider your daily talk to the Lord as something you will love to do forever.

JESUS

Mark 1:35  And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed.

Luke 6:12  And it came to pass in those days, that he went out into a mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God.

PRAY IN A CLOSET

Matthew 6:6  But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.

PRAY IN THE EARLY MORNING

Genesis 19:27  And Abraham gat up early in the morning to the place where he stood before the LORD:

PRAY IN THE NIGHT BEFORE TO SLEEP

Genesis 26:24  And the LORD appeared unto him the same night, and said, I am the God of Abraham thy father: fear not, for I am with thee, and will bless thee, and multiply thy seed for my servant Abraham's sake.

A SPECIAL PLACE TO PRAY

Genesis 13:4  Unto the place of the altar, which he had made there at the first: and there Abram called on the name of the LORD.

PROSTRATE AND, IF YOU CAN, DO IT ON YOUR KNEES

Mark 14:35 And he went forward a little, and fell on the ground, and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass from him.

Ephesians 3:14 For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ

AT EVERY MOMENT OF YOUR LIFE

Ezekiel 9:8 And it came to pass, while they were slaying them, and I was left, that I fell upon my face, and cried, and said, Ah Lord GOD! wilt thou destroy all the residue of Israel in thy pouring out of thy fury upon Jerusalem?

NO PRAYER IS FORGOTTEN BY THE LORD IF IT IS ACCORDING TO HIS WILL

1 John 5:14 And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us

KEEP PRAYING, EVEN WHEN IT SEEMS NO LONGER TO MAKE SENSE

1 Thessalonians 5:17  Pray without ceasing.

IT IS THE SPIRIT THAT HELPS YOUR PRAYER

Romans 8:26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

DAVID WAS A PRAYER WARRIOR

Psalms 5:3  My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up.

Psalms 42:8  Yet the LORD will command his lovingkindness in the daytime, and in the night his song shall be with me, and my prayer unto the God of my life.

Psalms 119:11  Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.

PRAYER HAS GREAT EFFECTIVENESS

Mark 9:29 And he said unto them, This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting.

James 5:16  Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

FINALLY

2 Peter 3:18  But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.

Ephesians 6:18  Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

Romans 12:12  Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;

A correction on the previous post

I wrongly inserted only two videos, believing that the second was the one about the history of  the name "America" (Ameruca). But the second video, even being an important introduction to the history, was not yet directly related to the issue America/Ameruca, the "Land of the Serpent". I added the third video History of The Pilgrims and The First Baptists | Intermediate Discipleship #89 | Dr. Gene Kim, where you can hear on how the Ameruca and Land of the Serpent facts are confirming the Bible, at the bottom of the edited post:

How the Land of the Serpent Became the Land of the Bible

How the Land of the Serpent Became the Land of the Bible

 >

Extremly interesting video about the history of America. But first a glimpse on the central characters of this history, the Anabaptists, Moravian Brethren, Baptists, Separatist Puritans (Pilgrims), also the Lutheran Pietists, etc. 

Think: the Moravian brethren were so zealous and had such an heart to save souls that in the extreme cases some of them even sold themselves as slaves in order to be able to enter in the plantations in order to let some of those African slaves to know Jesus and avoid to go to Hell!

You have to mind that, for example,  in South Africa the white, Cold Protestants forbade the "niggers" to enter or to listen to the sermons in their churches.... For the Moravian brethren this was inconceivable! Indeed, once entered in the plantations or the surrounding area, problems came also from the white "Christian" owners who tried to boycott the missionary work of the brethren:

Above video: History of Deadly Assassins, Jesuit & Moravian Missions |Intermediate Discipleship #87 Dr. Gene Kim

https://youtu.be/ymeac7FYw_U

Second and third video

Here the second video, about the biblical history of America, together with a third one. The name comes not from Amerigo Vespucci, but from Ameru, the Peruvian name of the Serpent, and Ameruca, literally "the Land of the Serpent". Ameruca = America. Just one wovel. 

One of the first settlers were the Rosicrucian, see Francis Bacon, Walter Raleigh, all gnostic people, related to the gnostic utopia of another Bacon, Roger.  Then arrived Rome and her daughters, the Catholics and the Cold Protestant denominations, Calvinists, Lutherans, Puritans, Anglicans, etc. Cold because they persisted to reform the church of Rome or Anglican, but you cannot reform what is rotten. They wanted the power of these church-state, and the Spirit of Christ was already dead in them. They went for power and were moved by the force of cold, dead ritual formalism.

Then we have a second "front". Anabaptists, Moravian brethren, Baptists, Pilgrims, all separatist denominations, whose zeal for soul, whose love for their Saviour unabated moved them to search land where to bring the light of Jesus. And they were also persecuted by the Catholic system and the Cold Protestant in the Old Continent. 

The third video shows how the history of the colonization in America confirms the Bible.  Here dr. Gene Kim reads from the book of dr. William P. Grady. The first flux of colonies underwent a serious sequence of problems: devastating climate adversities, attack from the savage tribes of natives, and on and on. But the second stream, the separatists, enjoyed the best conditions. Puritans, who persecuted the separatists (search about the persecution on Baptists) had a hard life, but the Pilgrims, notwithstanding the terrible winter, were welcomed by the "Indians". One of them even knew the English language and helped the Pilgrims to survive what others could not afford: his name was Squanto.

Above image: How Satan Turned America Against God (Understanding the Times), the book of dr. W. P. Grady.

Dr Grady, in his book (a Pastor now coming from US purchased a copy for me), righteously identifies the hand of God respectively in the misfortunes occurred to the "gnostic" colonizers (Rosicrucian groups, "New Atlantis", the various state churches, reformed or Catholic ones, etc.) and in the providential help from the Lord for the separatists. The Massachusetts of the Puritans saw a great increase of Baptists, God knows how to be ironic.

Therefore we have two Americas: one is the "Land of the Serpent" (Lucifer, Satan), which attracted the "Cold", both nominally "Christian" as well openly Gnostic front. The other is the America of the separatists. God used the separatists, taking away the North part of the Land of the Serpent from the power of the Devil which supported the Rosicrucian and the state-churches, and developed it and transformed it in the greatest country in the world to use and send in all the world the King James Bible AV 1611. In doing this God replaced a British Empire which became the hotbed of the gnostic versions of the Bible (Westcott & Hort).  Great Britain, the cradle of the word of God in the AV 1611, was deemed by the Almighty no more worthy of the honor to publish and send the King James Bible in the whole world with her empire. The honor was transferred to the former "Land of the Serpent", now Land of the word of God (USA).

So the hand of God took away that name (Ameruca) from the Devil. That name, America, became synonym with Christian missionary zeal, and a symbol of the Bible.  Isn't great the sovereign power of Almighty God in this world? A great blow to the pride of the Leviathan.

Jesus said he didn't come to bring peace in the world, but sword and division. The Satanists of the Old Continent together with their church-state, wanted to unite the Land of the Serpent with Europe, God said NO and protected the separatists. We Christians, born again Christians, are, cause our (new) nature, separatists. Jesus with His circumcision separated our soul from the body. And circumcised us from the world. We don't follow the Lamb "whithersoever he goeth". We are PART of the Lamb, we are the BODY OF CHRIST. And there's nothing in this world that can separate us from Him, forever, nor the Devil, nor the Rosicrucian or the Masons, nor the Cold Protestants or the Jesuits nor the Aliens. The blood of Jesus covered us forever, and will burn the evil spirits, their Devil and the lost damned souls forever in Hell. 

Don't be a fool, ask Jesus for His precious blood when there's still time, before the America of the Bible will be drowned in the Ameruca of the Rosicrucian, the One World Kingdom of the Antichrist, the Devil incarnate; Jesus loves you, He will never abandon you, He will NEVER betray you:

Banned from posting in a Inquisition apologetic blog.

 >

I have been banned from posting comments on the Catholic blog pahteos.com 

https://www.patheos.com/blogs/davearmstrong/2017/12/inquisition-killed-4-9-million-john-bugays-whoppers.html#

In it the author was defending the idea that the Inquisition killed at most 3,000 (three thousands) "hertics" affirming....

Claiming that “millions” were killed is precisely one of the ridiculous myths that helped me to decide to no longer debate theology with anti-Catholics. It’s futile. It’s a waste of time. I’ll do little exchanges like this one, but not an entire dialogue on theology.

I overlooked the above warning, and tried to post this text:

The thesis of this article resemble the Holocaust denial thesis.  Priscillian is officially the first Christian martyr of the Whore of Rome. In the 4. century. Catholicism thinks to be the "New Israel" adopting also the theology of the "kingdom of God on earth" enforced by the state power. Therefore Catholicism deals with the ones refusing to submit to her "kingdom" exactly as Israel was commanded by God when entering the Promised Land: "kill 'em all". Indeed the slogan was adopted by the Catholic butchers (adding "let God sort 'em out") when dealing with towns where a mix of "heretics" (Bible believers) were mixed with common Catholic people who could be infected  and therefore to be eliminated together with the Christians.

As promised, my comment was banned:

The author is very dishonest. First he limits the borders of the Inquisition in narrow bureaucratic terms, the Roman and Spanish Inquisition. Then he extract only the official documents pertaining the death of Christians who were submitted to these two Catholic jurisdictional areas, claiming that few thousands of sentenced "heretics" were the total sum of all the people killed by the Inquisition. He refuses to acknowledge that the Catholic mass murder was well beyond the numbers of the bureaucracy of the Inquisition in Italy, Spain, Mexico from 1542 to 1860 AD. 

For example, in the middle of that period, in the 1655, in the Savoy near the city of Turin, Waldensian were threatened with the genocide, at the hand of Irish Catholic mercenaries, and indeed, we have 1712 heroic Christian martyrs fulfilling Revelation 17:

Revelation 17:6

“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 admiration.”

In only one shot the massacre of Piemont of 1655 shed the blood of a greater number of martyrs than the one of 300 years of Roman or Spanish Inquisition (the official estimates by "prudent" historians - children of the Whore? - amounts respectively to 1,250 and 1,050). But,  I presume, they were "not sentenced by the Inquisition" therefore, they are not victims of the Inquisition.  Does a formal detail exonerate the Catholic church of millions of Bible believing Christians?

In the same source I checked for this info, there's an interesting witness about the genocidal nature of the Catholic church as described in Revelation 17:6. It is reported the first hand witness of a Jesuit who expresses the assassin heart of the Whore he served:

A Jesuit priest, Fabrizio Torre, whose task was to deal with Waldensian recantations wrote to a fellow Jesuit: ‘It is not a matter of war, but rather of exterminating a multitude of enemies of God and rebels against their prince….And who can tell of the public devotions, the confessions, the communions and prayers before the Blessed Sacrament, so that the troops imbued thereby with faith and courage swept over the snow-laden Alps hunting down the wild beasts of hell with such butchery that to escape death by steel they rushed headlong with wives and children into the valleys where they saw nothing but fire and slaughter….the soldiers terrified these wretches, who could find no better way to escape than to kill themselves. Others taking better advice came in their hundreds, in remorse and humility, to the Holy Catholic Faith.’ 

Taken from:

Waldensian Church Missions

https://waldensian.org.uk/articles/cromwell-lecture

Mr Armstrong often, in an attempt to divert the accuse of religious genocide against his church, point the finger against the persecution of Catholics at the hand of Protestants. Far from me a passionate defense of Protestantism which targeted Baptists, Anabaptist and other not Protestant Christian denominations, but we cannot equate the Catholic thousand year genocide of Christians and Bible believers, with the military reaction against that Satanic power which was defeated in some European nations, but was trying to take back the lost territories.

Jesus gave to Paul six mysteries, and one more (seven mysteries in all) was given to John who spoke about it in the 17th and 18th chapter of the book of Revelation. This mystery concerning the future Catholic church identified with  the city of Rome and impersonated in a Whore was fulfilled in many ways along the church age. During the seven years of Tribulation that church and her empire also named Babylon the Great, will extend to the whole world but will be destroyed by her ten kings. 

The persecution of Bible believing Christians gave to that cup filled with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus a physical reality.  The blood of those Waldensian was the pure image of the blood of Jesus shed to give life to the walking dead. Those martyrs will come back as kings and judges during the Millenium of Christ. They are an example to warn the cold Christianity of today. 

The 1655 massacre was the last tail of the Sardis period of the Catholic church. With the beginning of the Reformation till 1900 AD we have the Philadelphia church period. The great awakening in the world during that period of time was sustained also by the fresh memory of those massacres in the valley of Piedmont. And to us, today, in our comfortable lives, what is saying the voice of those martyrs?

 15I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.

16So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.

20Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

Jesus said:

12But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name's sake.

He was talking about "synagogues". Isn't the church of Rome the synagogue of Satan? Catholic doctrine pretend the Catholics are the "New Israel". They are false Jews:

Revelation 2:9 “I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.”

 

In the 4. century. Catholicism thinks to be the "New Israel" adopting also the theology of the "kingdom of God on earth" enforced by the state power. Therefore Catholicism deals with the ones refusing to submit to her "kingdom" exactly as Israel was commanded by God when entering the Promised Land: "kill 'em all".

"Caedite eos. Novit enim Dominus qui sunt eius." is a phrase reportedly spoken by the commander of the Albigensian Crusade, prior to the massacre at Béziers on 22 July 1209.[1] A direct translation of the Medieval Latin phrase is "Kill them. The Lord knows those that are his own". Papal legate and Cistercian abbot Arnaud Amalric was the military commander of the Crusade in its initial phase and leader of this first major military action of the Crusade, the assault on Béziers, and was reported by Caesarius of Heisterbach to have uttered the order.[1]

Less formal English translations have given rise to variants such as "Kill them all; let God sort them out." Some modern sources give the quotation as Neca eos omnes. Deus suos agnoscet, evidently a translation from English back into Latin, and so omitting a biblical reference to 2 Timothy 2:19 evident in the original.[2]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caedite_eos._Novit_enim_Dominus_qui_sunt_eius.

19Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.

There's nothing in 2 Timothy 2:19 that hints to murder. God knows them that are His despite many, who are the children of the Devil, praise Him with their lips but have their heart far from Him. Isn't He the One who search the heart and try the reins (Jeremiah 17:10)?

Therefore are the same Catholic sources to confirm the genocidal nature of the Catholic church.

Above image: The present actual crusade of the popes in a photo collage. If an image is worth 1,000 words, some of them could be worth even 10,000 words. For some years Control Avles Blog together with Jesus Partisans in the Balkans and Continuing Counter Reformation blogs were exposing the Long March of the Devil to restore his Evil Empire, the Roman Catholic empire of Constantine (312 AD). We are not yet there, but it will be fulfilled, as a necessary step to usher in the last week of the seventy weeks of Daniel. Hope you are saved in the blood of Jesus, or you'll have an hard time.

9And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.

15And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.

18And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.

[King James AV 1611]

The Problem is YOU.

".....There is no doubt about it, the “woman” is Rome! It is the old Roman

Religion that specialized in “mysteries” and is “unable to understand the Bible!”

In Revelation 17:5 she is called “MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE

MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.”

(Compare Rev. 16:13 and Isa. 57:3.)

John is marvellously shocked at this apparition. He would expect pagan

Rome to kill saints and martyrs, as he was in exile at this time by pagan Rome

for testifying for Christ. But John is looking into the future, and he has been

caught up to the “day of the Lord” to see these visions, and he looks down at the

professing church of Jesus Christ, the professing bride of Christ, and finds out

that she’s the foremost murderer of Christians! This is not pagan Rome. Why would John marvel about pagan Rome killing Christians when he was one of the

ones they were trying to kill? The thing he is looking at is that great “mother of

the faith”—Holy Mother Church. Do you know what the Holy Ghost says she

really is? She’s a religious whore!! (See Rev. 17:1.) This is why the Roman

Catholic Church does not like the Authorized Version; this is why Liberal and

Orthodox scholars have put pressure on revision committees for hundreds of

years to get rid of the King James Bible (AV), and replace it with such

perversions as the RSV (which is the official bible approved by the Roman

Catholic Church for England and the U.S.A. The reason that the Roman Catholic

Church tells its people that they cannot “understand the Bible,” the reason why

Protestant scholars teach that the Book of Revelation is apocalyptic, symbolical,

and “figurative,” the reason why Protestant teachers and preachers do not teach

the Book of Revelation, the reason why God’s people think the book is “hard to

understand,” is because Revelation 17 tells the world that the “mother of the

faith,” “Holy Mother Church,” is in reality a religious prostitute. That is not the

interpretation of Dr. Peter S. Ruckman, and that is not the teaching of the

Baptist Church; that is the infallible, inspired word of the Holy Spirit, in plain

Sixth Grade English, where anybody with an I.Q. of 90 could understand it.

(And you do understand it! The only problem is what to do with it.) Why, today

if a Christian intimated that the Roman Catholic Church was not as good as other

churches, he would have all of Christendom down on his neck! What do you

suppose would happen to you if you got on the radio and said that the Roman

Catholic Church was a religious prostitute? That’s what God said about it! The

problem is not “what it means,” because you know what it means. The problem

is YOU..................."
