Official Statements - Trinity187by using Latin words, to be enjoyed by the people! He wants to forgive thesin against the Lord and savior and to be able to open the gate of heaven topeople arbitrarily! Is this not blasphemous enough on the part of an earthworm? “(Gaussen, ” The Pope “, p. 27)“It has been calculated that the popes of Rome legally killed fifty millionof men and women, either directly or indirectly, for refusing to participate inthe Roman idolatry, holding on the Bible as on the Word of God {the Bible isthe Word of God }, and did not love their lives even to death, but, counteredthe sin offering resistance in the extreme.” “Through Llorente’s carefulresearch it has been proven that in Spain alone over three hundred and fortythousand people were tortured and heavily sentenced between the years1481 and 1808. Every Catholic country in Europe, Asia and America had itsinquisition.” (Guinness,” The Approaching End, “Vol 1, p. 287, 277)“It is Rome, wherever blood is shed like water and the greatest rejoicingtakes place.” “In the years 1518-1548 over fifteen million protestants losttheir lives due to the papal inquisition.” (Bengel to Revelation 18:24.)How the Roman Church prides itself upon this, is shown in the followingwords of the Augsburg Confession: “So it [the Roman Church] also showsthat the Sabbath has become Sunday against the Ten Commandments,nothing else is as highly respected as the transformation of the Sabbath; theyare herewith willing to keep the great power of the church, for it managed toexempt from the Ten Commandments and change something about them.”(Article 28)The paragraph are the following:# “So it [the Roman Catholic Church] testimonies and points out the scene that theSabbath has been transferred to Sunday, in opposition to the Ten Commandments,which has to be respected, and there is no example, no act carrying so much sensein it, as the transformation / the powerful change of Sabbath to Sunday, and theywant to sustain and clearly demonstrate that great power of the [Roman Catholic]church, for it is dispensed from the Ten Commandments, [dispensed means: theRoman Catholic Church is released from the duty to keep the Ten Commandmentsof God, the God of the Bible, the Holy Scriptures, because the Roman CatholicChurch demands its commandments to be kept] and has changed something [haschanged means: it has changed all the commandments, and also desecrated allthe feast days of the Bible and replaced those days by the pagan feast days witha seemingly acting Christian name, for example, Pentecost, Easter, Christmas,Remembrance Sunday, the last three originate from idolatry, paganism].”“Is not every Christian obliged to sanctify Sunday? Is the observance ofthis law not one of the first among our sacred duties? But you may readthe Bible from Genesis to Apocalypse, and you will not find a single wordto prescribe the keeping holy of Sunday. The scriptures call for religiousobservation of Sabbath, a day, which is no longer sacred.” (Catholic CardinalGibbens, ” Faith of Our Fathers “, p. 70)“Others are not at least willing to find the papacy in the revelation, either byreferring everything to the still future Antichrist, or to the former destructionof Jerusalem. Thus, the specific remedies in this time full of temptation arenot invalidated, and the testimony given to the papacy is given at the timewhere it would be most essential. Therefore it is no wonder that people wholack the internal touchstone of truth get confused when searching it, thatthey fall into the hands of the papacy “(Bengel’s life, p. 303)
