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

  Dark Ages:

Introduction: Bite 1) 

As told by Clarence Walker:

Dr. Carroll was born in the state of Arkansas on January 8,1858. He died in Texas January 10,1931. His father a Baptist preacher, moved to Texas when Brother Carroll was six years old. There he was converted, baptized, and ordained to the Gospel Ministry. He became a leader and outstanding figure among Baptists and among the whole world. Years ago he came to my (Clarence Walker) church and brought the message found here. It was then that I became interested in his studies. I had a special interest in research in church history as to which was the oldest church and most like the churches of the New Testament. Dr. J.W. Porter attended these lectures also. He was so impressed he told Dr. Carroll if he would write down the messages he would publish them in a book. Dr. Carroll agreed and gave publishing rights to Dr. Porter. However, before the books came off the press Dr. Porter died. Luckily the books had already been before the public and the whole edition and many after were soon sold. Ephesians 3: 9,10,21: “To make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery which from the beginning of the world has been hidden in God who created all things by Jesus Christ, to the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in Heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God. Unto Him be the Glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. AMEN.” 

Close of the Fifth Century: Bite 2)

As told by Clarence Walker:

We closed the first lecture of Dr. Carroll’s at the close of the fifth century (400 AD). A number of things had their beginning back in these early centuries. We had entered the awful period of the world’s history known as the Dark Ages. The persecutions by the established Roman Catholic Church are hard, cruel, and perpetual. The war of intended extermination follows persistently into many lands. For the fleeing Christians, a trail of blood is nearly all that is left anywhere. Especially throughout England, Wales, Africa, Armenia, and Bulgaria and anywhere else Christians could be found who were trying to remain loyal to the New Testament teachings.

Ecumenical Councils: Bite 3)

As told by Clarence Walker:

We now call attention to these Councils called “Ecumenical” or Empire Side. It is well to remember that all these Councils were professedly based upon, or patterned after, the Councils held by the apostles and others at Jerusalem: Acts 15:1: “Certain men which came down from Judea said: “Except ye be circumcised after the manner of Moses you can not be saved.” But nothing bearing the same name could have been more UNALIKE! These were all called by different emperors and none were called by the Pope. All these councils held among the Greek churches were attended by representatives from the Western Branch of the Roman churches. The first of these Ecumenical Councils were held in Nicea in 325 AD and were called to meet by Constantine the great. 318 bishops attended

First Five Councils: Bite 4)

As told by Clarence Walker:

The Second Ecumenical Council was called to meet by Theodosius the Great. There present at that meeting 150 bishops. In the earlier centuries bishops simply meant pastors of individual churches. The third Council was called in 431 AD by Theodosius the second and Valentius the third with 250 bishops present. They met at Ephesus. The fourth Council met at Calderon in 451 AD and was called to meet by Emperor Marian: Between 500 and 600 bishops were metropolitans. Metropolitans were city pastors or first church pastors. During the fourth Council, the doctrine which is now known as “Mariolatry” was promulgated. This means the worship of Mary, the mother of Christ. The fifth of these eight Councils was held at Constantinople. This was called to meet by Justinius 553 AD and 165 bishops were present. The main reason for calling this meeting was to condemn certain writings. (PL Sturgis: Supposedly, way back then began the censoring of Free Speech and Press.)

Last of the Emperors’ Councils: Bite 5)

As told by Clarence Walker:

In the year 680 AD the 6th Council was called to meet. This was also held at Constantinople and was called by Constantine Progenitor to condemn (so-called) heresy. during that meeting, Pope Honorius was excommunicated. However, at that time, Pope infallibility had not been declared. the 7th Council was called to meet at Nicea in 787 AD. This was the second Council held at Nicea. Irene the Empress called the Council to meet. Here at this Council meeting seems to be the definite starting place of both “image worship” and “Saints worship.” You can see that these people in this era were becoming more Paganized than Christianized. The 8th and last of the Emperors’ Councils was held in Constantinople in 869 AD. There had risen a serious controversy between the two heads of Catholicism.
