PROTECTORS of SCRIPTURE

 

Galatians 1:8-9

King James Version

8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, 

preach any other gospel unto you 

than that which we have preached unto you, 

let him be accursed.

9 As we said before, so say I now again, 

if any man preach any other gospel unto you 

than that ye have received, 

let him be accursed.


There are many unsung heroes who loved the Bible.

We must not forget them, for they gave up their lives.

And how they were challenged by the Roman Catholic church.

But they never gave up their faith.

It's time we looked into how the Bible evolved.

As well as the men, and women, who protected it.

Making sure the integrity of GOD's WORD was preserved.

Who are those who truly loved Scripture?

Who are those who tried to squelch its propagation?

How can we know about them?

The HOLY SPIRIT led me to a remarkable video last night.

From which, I was able to gather all I needed to know.

Or, at least, the basic framework for future studies.

These links you'll find very useful, and enlightening.


Propagation of GOD's WORD:

Albigensians -- interestingly, and as to be expected, there is no positive material on the Albigensians. It's as if the world wanted to totally wipe out their existence, or contribution. And yet, we shall find, they may have played an important part in the furtherance of GOD's WORD.

Ironically, it's only through a section of the Inquisitor's Manual of Bernard Gui, as shared by Fordham University, that we learn anything fair about the Albigensians.

It's truly a cosmic battle.

A battle of the WORD, versus the world.

Especially in these end times.

But we all know JESUS will conquer all.

It's all been prophesied.
