Daily Bites of “The Trail of Blood” vol. 1) By J. M. Carroll: Series 2

 Before the Reformation:

Cruel Persecution: Bite 6) 

 As told by Clarence Walker:

The President of the Roman Council of Trent, Cardinal Hassius, said this about the 1200 years proceeding the Reformation: “Were it not that the Baptists had been grievously tormented and cut off with the knife during the past 1200 years they would be swarming in greater numbers than the Reformers are.” (Catholic 1524...Documented Letter APUD Opera page 112,113) During those years the Baptists were cruelly persecuted for their faith. Sir Isaac Newton said the Baptists were the only body of known Christians that have never once symbolized with Rome.------ Before the rise of Luther and Calvin, there lay secreted in almost all the countries of Europe persons who adhered to modern Dutch Baptist. (Presbyterian) It may have already occurred to you that the Baptists are the same sect of Christians that were formally described as Anabaptists. Indeed, this seems to be their present principles since around 50 years after the death of Apostle John. 

  Martyrs: Bite 7)

As told by Clarence Walker:

Froude, the English historian said this about the Anabaptists: “Martyrs: The details are all gone. The names are all gone. the facts seem scarcely worth mentioning. For these martyrs, no one in Europe was agitated; no court was ordered in mourning; no papal’s heart trembled with indignation. At their death the world looked on, complacent, indifferent. Yet here, out of 25 poor men and women, were found 14 who by no terror or stake of torture could be tempted to say they believed what they did not believe. History has no words of praise for them but they did not give their blood in vain. Their lives might have been as useless as the lives of most of us, but in their death, they assisted to pay the price of English Freedom.” --- In writing of their enemies as well as their friends, Dr. Carroll found their history as well as their trail through the ages was, indeed, a bloody one.

Bite 8) To the End of the Age:

As told by Clarence Walker:

Baptists do not believe in apostilistic succession. The Apostle’s office ceased with the death of the apostles. It is to the Lord’s Church that He promised a continual existence from the time He organized the first one, during His early ministry, till the time He comes again. He promised: “I will build My Church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” (Matthew 16:18) Then when He gave the great Commission which tells the churches what they must do, He promised: “I will be with you always, even to the end of the age.” (Matthew 28:20) The commission was not given only to the apostles as individuals but also to the others present in their church capacity. The apostles and others who heard the Lord give the commission were soon dead but the Church has lived through the ages, making disciples, getting souls saved, and teaching the truth,---The Doctrines. 

Marks of the New Testament Church: Bite 9)

As told by Clarence Walker:

The faithful churches have been blessed with the Lord’s presence as they traveled through their trail of Blood. Its Head and Founder is the Law Giver, Jesus Christ, and the Only Executive. (Matthew 16:18...Col. 1:18) Its only rule of Faith and practice is the Bible: (2 Timothy 3:15,17) Its name is “Church” (Rev. 22:16) Its politic: Congregational; All members equal. (Matthew 20:24-28... Mathew 23:5-12) Its members are saved, people: (Ephesians 2:21...1 Peter 2:5) Its ordinance: Believer’s Baptism followed by the Lord’s Supper; (Matthew 28:19,20) Its officers: Pastors and Deacons: (1 Timothy 3:1-16) Its Work: Getting folks saved and Baptized, meeting requirements of Scripture, teaching: (Matthew 28:16-20) “Do all I have commanded.” ---- Its Financial Plan: Tithes and offerings: (1 Cor. 9:14) Weapons of Warfare: Spiritual, not carnal: (2 Cor. 10:4... Ephesians 6:10-20) Independence: Separate from State: (Matthew 22:21) 

Remember the Days of Old: Bite 10)

As told by Clarence Walker:

Deuteronomy 32:7: “Consider the days of many generations. Ask your fathers and they will show you. Ask your elders and they will tell you.” --- What we know today as true Christianity began with Christ AD 25-30--- within the bounds of the Roman Empire, one of the greatest Empires the world has ever known in all its history. The Empire, at that period, embraced all of what was then known as the inhabited world. Tiberius Caesar was the Emperor. In its religion, the Roman Empire, at that time was Pagan, a religion of many gods. Some were material and some were imaginary. It was an established religion established by law and enforced by the government. (Moshium vol. 1 ch 6) The Jewish people no longer had their own nation but were scattered throughout the Empire, yet they had their temple in Jerusalem. They went there to worship but they had drifted and become like the Pagans and lost their power. (Moshium ch 2)
