ROME ROME ROMEAgain

Was finally able to listen to the last two messages with the Read Aloud function and found out that a lot of the earlier message is gobbledygook, apparently the result of my fingers slipping off their proper orientation on the keyboard.  There's no way I can reproduce what I said there, I don't really remember it, but I think I can maybe say some more that may be related to it.

I was very impressed that it has ALWAYS been Rome that is the main persecutor of the saints of God, at least since the time of Jesus and down through the last two millennia of the Christian era.   The Caesars, the Christians hiding in the catacombs, the hints at it in the New Testament writings and the known history we have of all that.  

And then when the Roman Empire fell the Roman Church rose in its place and the Pope beame the new Caesar as it were.  Presiding over Western Christendom for about a milennium, and known for perseucting the true XChristiansz.  The Waldenisains and the Hugeuenots  and others down through the benturies, adding up to something like fifty million Christians martyred accordihng to one source, David Plaisted.  Others were also murdered by the Roman Church,, such as Jews and muslims, but according to Plaisted that number was about seventeen million whle the Christians are arer and away the greatest number of artyre.

How do we not know that these days?  When did the Church stop rading history?  When did they stop reading books like Dowling's History of Romanism and Wylie's History of Protestantism.  Don't we still read Foxes' Book of Martyrs"  Has that lesson been missed somehow too?

Yes Rome Rome Rome.  Rome in the early years and Rome in the Middle Ages, and it still goes on now in Roman Catholic Countries away from the public eye as I've noted on my Catholicism blog.   Tehy've never recanted thri anathemas against the Protestants which are enshrined in their Council of Trent.   Whenever they have the power we can be sure they'll be going after the saints again, and those must be the saints of the book of Revelation and their persecutor must be the Roman Church.  

Which IS what the Harlot image is in Revelation seventeen.  Mystery Babylon the Great, Mother of Harlots.  That's Rome Rome Rome.  Just consider the statue of Nebuchadnezzar's drea m from the book of Daniel.  ONE image of ONE man made up of four empires with Babylon as its head and Rome as it's feet.   Rome is Babylon.   And the animsls of Daniel's own dreams and visions.  The fourth beast    It's hard to think of there being any other Antichrist yet to come than the Pope.  H'es been recognized for centuries bydissident Christians as the Antichrist, why would he stop being the Antichrist now?:

Besides which, the nu mbmer 666 most perfectly fits the title of the Pope, Vicarivs Filieii Dei.  Sorry I think I got that wrong.  Trye again.  VICARIVS FILII DEI.  It means Substitute for the Son of God which is practically a defintiion of Antichrist itself, but then the Roman Numberal s which are embedded in the title add up to 666.  If I managed to get it written correctly.  But I've written it selsewhere on the blog so it can be checked.

Why has the Chuirch been so misled?  They don't even know that Westcott and Hort were Catholic sympathizers and "hated" the King Ja mes Bible.  Hated it?  So they gave us Bibles of lousy translations based on lousy and heretical manscripts byat may be forgeries.  QWhat happened to the Church? What sort of blindness has overtaken us?  Are we reaping the consequences of the liberis.loism of the nineteenth century?  Is this judgment on the Yes and don't forget


Yes and don't forget the cCatholic connections with Hitler and Stalin and Pol Pot and Rwanda.  Hitler even said he modeled his Holocaust on the Roman Inquisition.  The masascre in Rwanda was instigated by a Catholic Bishop over the radio.   


ROME ROME ROME.    WSHouse of God?  





I Really Really Really Don't Want You to Go to Hell

\\\\\\\\\\


My eyes are so bad it's amazing I can write anything at all.  Well, I can't see what I write, I just have to hope that myu figers are on the right keys as I feel my way.   The Lord does help me a lot.  When I can't see the word I want on the menyu, such as "Copy" or "paste" or Read aloud" I'll ask him to show it to me and He will.  He just did that with the word "paste" so i could put the link below to A Q Pink's sermon on Counterfeit swaving faith.

I had no idea there were so many messages out there about this very sort of thing, all the ways it can seem someone is saved or has the Holy Spirit when in fact they don't.  Mostly it's see,med to me that pastors want to give reassuring messages that we are in fact saved, and of course often that is exactly what is needed, but I'm afraid I don't remember hearing this other message from a pastor beofre, how easy it is to deceive ourselves that we are in the faith when we are not.  That may just be my faulty memory.'

Pink, Ryle, Owen all say quite a bit about this problem of people deceiving themselves about their salvation.   A month or so ago this theme put me in a deep state of fear about my own salvation.  Was I ever really saved?  Do Ireally have the Holy Spirit?  What about those horrible sins I've committed just in the last few years?  And He started to show me those sins.  A couple of them looked like the sort that damn a person who isn't saved, and from which they cannot be saved, as per that passage in Hebrews.  The dread I felt was terrible.   It went on for wee,kks.  Ifelt God had completely abandoned me.  I had a real sense that I could very well go to Hell after years of deceiving myself.   

Then THe Lord agve me a surpprising reassurance that I am in fact saved.   I was trembling with fear over my sins and I'd said I want ed to go on trembling because I didn't want to get complacent about sin any more.  But the trembling was pretty heaving, ral trembling, real shaking, a cold dread in the pit of my stomach.   I said to the Lord, I just want to go on trembling until I'm saved.  And at that moment the tremgling stopped.  It rapidly faded away to nothing.  So what did that mean?  I am saved NOW.  The trembling stopped when I was saved, and that is now.  I didn't get up and leap for joy right away.  I doubted it.  It's a subjective experience of course, however objectiving in form.  I've learned to doubt my experiences.  But over time I've become confinced.  Only He could have stopped the trembling.  And there is no other wayt to interpret it given the terms I'd presented Him with but that I am in fact saved.  So although to some extent the cold dread remains, or comes back from time to time, I ham now overall reassuraced that I am saved and am relearning how to put my trust in Him for that.

There messages have made me awfully aware of the situation of others though.  Mostly unbelievers.  My own terror of Hell is enough to make me want to save everybody else from it, and yet I'm not much of an evangelist and I don't reallyh inow where to start.  Those I have presented with the gospel have all said no many times.

At the beginning of April I started on a Spiritual Renewal Project.  I'm still on it, I'm never going to get off it.
