INTRODUCTION
In first seventeen centuries of church history already studied, we have learned and studied
many contrasts between the True Church and the False Church, including:
church around 1727, although the Moravian church went all the way back to about 1467 to a
group which called themselves the "Unitas Fratrum" of Bohemia.
John Wesley was introduced to Biblical Christianity (not Anglican baby sprinkling) by Peter
Boehler and Spangenberg, two German Moravians who followed the line of Bible believing
Lutherans, as they departed from the established Lutheran church, after the death of
Melanchthon. Wesley also encountered the German Count Zinzendorf and was converted
under the ministry of the Moravian Pietists who emphasized the Biblical grace doctrines with
were earlier taught by Luther.
After Luther, culture and apostasy followed the Lutheran Church (1600-1700). By 1700, the
Lutheran church in Germany had once again assumed a formalistic and sacramental character
and became very much like its adulteress mother, the RCC. Very few pastors and evangelists
ever survived the rationalism of German "higher criticism" (1800-1900).
Always remember, false science, as well as the traditions and philosophies of unsaved men
(Col. 2:8; 1 Tim. 6:20) are the two greatest enemies of Biblical Christianity to be found
anywhere in the realm of education.
The beliefs of the Pietists were simple:
1. They believed the Bible (AV 1611) was the pure word of God and that there was no other
authority when it comes to faith, belief, or conduct.
2. They believed Christians should bring the lost to faith in Jesus Christ (be soul winners).
3. They believed in missionary endeavors long before William Carey began his missionary
work in India and decades before the British Foreign Missionary Society (set up in 1804).
4. They believed a man is saved by grace through faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ,
apart from sacraments, ordinances, baby sprinkling, water baptism, or other good works.
5. They believed that conversion of a person could only be done after he was old enough to
know what he was doing, (i.e. after he reached his age of accountability to God).
6. They believed Jesus Christ is coming back to set up His Millennia reign and no kingdom
will come until He returns.
7. They rejected prayers to Joseph or Mary, the Roman mass, purgatory, prayers for the
dead, state churches, and an "ordained priesthood", etc.
it by Bible preachers and teachers who were taught not to believe it by the faculty of
Christian colleges and universities.
Wesley's last words were: "The best of all, God is with us! I'll praise! I'll praise! Farewell!!"
Undoubtedly Wesley's and Whitefield's ministries were directly connected to the movement
of the Holy Spirit westward which historians call The Great Awakening (1720-1750).
BAPTISTS IN AMERICA
John Clarke (not Roger Williams), founded the First Baptist Church in America in 1639, in
Newport, Rhode Island. John Clarke was baptized in a church in London (pastor was Rev.
Stillwell) that was set up by the Dutch Mennonites from Holland (not by English Baptists).
This is significant because the Dutch Mennonites came from the Waldenses. This means that
not even the English Baptists came from John Smith, as most historians would have you to
believe, they came from German Baptists. Earlier they were called Donatists and Novatians
and later Anabaptists in Germany and Mennonites in Holland. The Moravians had already
been identified with the Waldenses and in 1315 the followers of Walter Lollard (a German
Waldensian). This is the line that produced John Clarke who set up the first Baptist church in
America.
Strangely, it was a papist, Charles I who gave the royal charter for the setting up of
Providence, RI as a cornerstone for religious liberty. He had to find a way to smuggle
Catholics into the USA without being persecuted. He pleaded for "tolerance" and "religious

liberty" and "freedom of worship" long enough to get his totalitarian "foot in the door."
Rome never changes.
Puritan Imperialism in America was in some ways similar to Vatican (Catholic) Imperialism.
Baptists were immediately singled out for persecution mainly over their belief that you
cannot regenerate any baby by sprinkling him under any formula.
The Baptists spread out far and wide in America during this period of church history.
Baptists divided into "Particular" (5-point Calvinists) and "General" (1-point Calvinists).
Baptists then split into two groups: "Separates" and "Regulars." The Separates went along
with the Holy Spirit during the Great Awakening and the Regulars stayed where they were.
ABRAHAM LINCOLN
Abraham Lincoln is acknowledged in history books as being a great statesman, a great
president, "Honest Abe", a good man, etc., (which he undoubtedly was in many ways), but he
was the person mainly responsible for initiating the federal government takeover and the loss
HISTORY OF THE NEW TESTAMENT CHURCH
VOL. II - 1600 A. D. - PRESENT
of freedoms, liberties, and rights of states and individuals in America. No state since
Abraham Lincoln (1865) has been free, nor has it been independent.
Abraham Lincoln (through the media) "sold" the Civil War to the public as a racial issue and
often used of the word "UNITY" (a RCC concept from way back). This began the process of
consolidating power and authority with the federal government and the stripping of the
American people's liberties and freedoms originally guaranteed under of the Constitution and
the Bill of Rights.
Abraham Lincoln, known today in history books as the "great emancipator," had some very
unmistakable views concerning black people in general. His views are clearly seen from the
statements below which were made by Lincoln himself in the famous Lincoln-Douglas
debates in Charleston, Jonesboro, Springfield, and Peoria, Illinois on October 15, 1854,
June 25, 1857, September 15, 1858, and September 18, 1858:
1. "Senator Douglas remarked in substance that he has always considered the government
was made for the white people and not for the Negroes, which in point of fact, I THINK
SO TOO."
2. "I tell him frankly that I am NOT IN FAVOR of Negro citizenship. (Applause) I hold
myself under constitutional obligation to allow the people in all States, without
interference, direct or indirect, to do exactly as they please, and I deny that I have any
inclination to interfere with them. Even where there is no constitutional obligation, I will
say that I'm NOT, NOR EVER HAVE BEEN, in favor of bringing about, in any way,
the social and political equality of the white and black races (Applause); that I'm NOT,
NOR EVER HAVE BEEN, in favor of making voters and jurors of Negroes, nor qualify
them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people."
3. "I will say, in addition to this, that there is a fundamental difference in the white and
black races which I believe will forever forbid the two races living together on terms of
social or political equality, and as such, as any other man, I am in favor of having the
SUPERIOR POSITION assigned to the WHITE RACE. I'll add to this that, to my
knowledge, I know not any man or woman in favor of perfect equality, social or political,
between Negroes and white men. I give a most solemn pledge that I will, to the very last,
stand by the law of this State which forbids the marriage of white people with Negroes,
(Applause) It is better, therefore, for us both to be SEPARATED."
4. "You and we are different races. The physical difference is a great advantage to both. In
a word, we suffer on each side. If this is omitted, it affords a reason, at least, why we
should be SEPARATED."
course, with a humanistic ("me first") mindset and with corruption on every front as America
sinks further and further into the abyss of its own spiritual, moral, and financial bankruptcy.
The complete federal takeover gets closer each day and will play right into God's hand as the
one-world religion, under a one-world government will soon take center stage under the rule
of the Antichrist and the horrible tribulation period will engulf this earth. (Thank the Lord
for salvation and for the Rapture prior to the beginning of the Tribulation period.)
It was Patrick Henry in 1776 who said, "Give me liberty of give me death." His descendents
between 1800-1900 said, "Give me liberty." Their children from 1900 to the present time
simply say, "Give me." (Laodicea = Civil Rights)
The founding fathers realized that state churches were unscriptural and against true religious
liberty. But where liberty is taken for granted, and God is not part of the equation, jungle
warfare will inevitably follow.
The Constitution allowed America to become the first country in the history of the world to
grant religious freedom to ANTI-CATHOLICS! Through the years, however, Congress has
passed laws to confiscate (steal) tax money from Americans to fund all types of Roman
Catholic (and other ungodly) endeavors, but the "founding fathers" original intention in
setting up the Bill of Rights was clearly honorable.
Big government neither insures individual freedom nor does it fix real problems, government
takes away freedoms and creates new problems, while breeding corruption. Everything the
government takes over it destroys and it bankrupts our nation in the process.
When any government says it is there to "liberate" you, the first thing that happens is you
lose your liberties. Big government IS NEVER THE SOLUTION to anything!
Reliance on government is now at such a high level that most people feel the government
exists to provide their every need, e.g. employment, transportation, healthcare, food, child
care, education, retirement, protection, etc. Especially when anything bad happens, most
people consider themselves "victims" and resort to the government as being the solution.
AMERICA AS A REPUBLIC
America’s democratic, constitutional republic which is built on capitalism and free enterprise
was established on sound Biblical principles and Baptist Church polity, which produced
local self-government and an autonomous church (not big government). Its tenets were
voluntary association (not forced busing or forced integration), voluntary assembly, and
majority voting. A republic's leaders were to be chosen according to their ability to serve
and make right judgments, not on their popularity or how much tax money they could
confiscate for the "special interests" of their constituency.
From Montesquieu's The Spirit of Laws, came the concept of the "separation of powers"
which is essential or else the people eventually lose representative government and
ultimately lose all liberties. NOTE: America’s three branches of government (Executive,
Legislative, and Judicial) were founded on the King James Bible. - Isaiah 33:22
America as a republic was gradually transformed into a democracy (1860-1900), then into a
federal democracy (1900-1933), then into a federal soviet (1933-1980) (a "soviet" is a
pyramidal government structure, i.e. a ruling class over everybody else), and is now in the
process of becoming a bankrupt Catholic communist satellite. The road to hell is paved with
good intentions. (People NEED the Lord!)

APOSTATE FUNDAMENTALISTS
Today, the favorite term of apostate fundamentalists is "historic fundamentalist positions"
which in general have no relationship to Biblical truth. It is used as a cover-up in lieu of
believing and preaching the Book as it stands.
In the last half of the nineteenth century, two other things also crept in: 1) open armed
reception of "higher criticism" (i.e. destructive guesswork) by apostates and 2) compulsory
education laws. This deadly combination led to a federal school system controlled by the
NEA where the Bible was kicked out on the grounds of "separation of church and state" and
state moneys were confiscated by the RCC to further their own educational systems. This
has led to the virtual destruction (and accompanying atrocities) of the public school system.
God has made it clear that He will confuse and destroy the minds of anybody who messes
with His Book, the AV 1611 King James Bible.

During this time, student and journalist movements promoting liberalism and communism
have started in colleges, gotten support by the media, and have aimed at overthrowing
capitalistic and democratic institutions.
Communism, reduced to its most simplistic element is: "steal what you want."
Once Bible believers abandoned the "Christian" educational institutions that had been taken
over by modern religious scholars who do not believe the Bible, the "spiritual leaders" from
these colleges, universities, and seminaries have swept the world with their promotion of
corrupt Bibles and their modernistic positive philosophies. NOTE: True New Testament
local churches are never found entangled in the social or political issues of their day, other
than in preaching against specific sins and praying that God would overthrow the workings
and designs of those opposed to the truth. - 1 Cor. 5-6; 2 Tim. 2:4
Rome has infiltrated "Christian" schools with faculty members intent on getting the world
back to a "Dark Age Bible" based on the Alexandrian, Egypt texts. Rome uses unsaved
"bible" scholars and philosophers to destroy the faith of believers in their King James Bible.
NOTE: Once you abandon the KJB, there is only one place left to go…a modern perverted
Bible. All roads lead to Rome!
America is naïve to think it will escape the religious and moral apostasy, it is growing by
leaps and bounds every day. Apostasy has trailed immediately on the heels of the true NT
church, wherever it has gone, all over the world, since its inception.
MARXISM AND DARWINISM - Gen. 1:1; Mark 10:6; John 5:46-47; Col. 1:16
Darwin and Marx were communistic "birds of the same feather," and both were "positive and
progressive thinkers." According to the Bible, they were Bible-rejecting idiots and dunces.
This explains why all communists are not scientific. Proof: Darwin's the theory of evolution
blatantly contradicts the first two (scientific) laws of thrermodynamics, namely:
1. Mechanical energy is equal to heat energy (it remains constant and cannot be created or
destroyed). This law does away with Darwin's theory of origins.
2. Heat, of itself, cannot pass from one body to another at a higher temperature (i.e.
everything is degenerating and is destined to burn out). This law does away with
Darwin's theory of evolution of species.

VOL. II - 1600 A. D. - PRESENT
According to Marx and Darwin, men are nothing but animals, therefore killing off the
undesirable masses of people is the major part of their belief system. Church history proves
that any evil "religious" zealot will kill to propagate his religion.
Darwin adopted a false theory that man started at the bottom and is working himself up. This
is the opposite of what God says in His Book, i.e. man started at the top and fell to the
bottom (through sin) and that without the intervention of his Maker, he could not even see
that he was at the bottom; and further, without a miracle (Calvary's Cross) from his Maker,
Jesus Christ, he could not get saved and back on top.
Darwin's system produced sex education at all levels in the schools, the use of drugs and
alcohol, armament races, the abolition of anything Christian in society, perverted Bibles,
abolition of moral standards, destruction of the family, hopelessness, depression, suicide,
government control, etc.
Marx knew that if the English speaking people ever accepted Darwin's theory of evolution as
scientific, they would accept his economic theories as scientific, i.e. the graduated income tax
system, compulsory education, abolition of inheritances and private property, gun
confiscation, classless societies, the welfare state, and integration of the races.
The Marxism of Lenin and Stalin produced the modern Politburo (which controls the party)
consisting of nineteen men who control 17 million party members and 650 million people,
i.e. communism is nothing but a military dictatorship controlled by a religious hierarchy.
Marx believed that unfair distribution of money is the root of all evil and that a "just and
equal" economic system where all "share" their goods will solve all of man's problems.
Marx's system produces concentration camps larger than any that Hitler built, enforced slave
labor, removal of populaces, assassinations, terrorism, loss of incentive to work, a welfare
state, disintegration of the family, etc.
All evolutionists believe the Bible is full of contradictions and unscientific errors and that by
"survival of the fittest" man can alter his environment and thereby alter his nature.
The whole perverted scheme is about nothing more than getting the necessary power and
authority to gain absolute control of all men.
This movement could be called a socialistic-Catholic-Roman-Communist-animal movement,
of course "for the betterment and progression of mankind" and "for the sake of Jesus," etc.
These and similar ideas promoted the movement to replace the AV 1611 KJB with modern
perverted Catholic versions, thereby opening a way for the English "Protestants" to return to
the Vatican State at Rome. Remember: All roads lead to Rome!

was completed. Both contained Apocryphal books interspersed throughout the cannon and
became falsely known as the "verbal plenary inspired originals" by Nestle, Aland, Metzger,
and Nida, and which were sold to the Bible Societies of the Laodicean church in the 20 th and
21st centuries. Bible corruption has gone on throughout all of church history. - 2 Cor. 2:17
Westcott and Hort were sypathetic to Mariolatry (worship of Mary), Darwinism (evolution),
and rabid sacramentalists. They believed in water baptismal regeneration.
Westcott and Hort espoused many false theories: 1) longer and shorter readings, 2) Lucian
Recension, 3) intrinsic probability, 4) family texts, 5) Western readings, etc.
John Maurice (1805-1872) taught that form of socialism that later was called the "Fabian
Society" which espoused a gradual overthrow of a government. It was John Maurice and
Pusey (1800-1882) who did the required work in the Anglican church, while Darwin and
Marx had been preparing the secular colleges and universities to reject the true Bible, which
helped bring about societal acceptance of the false bibles.
Clarence Larkin (1850-1929), a Baptist pastor, was the man who taught every prophetic
teacher in America everything they knew about the basics of prophecy and rightly dividing
the words of truth.
Jerry Falwell, Jack Hyles, John R. Rice, Billy Graham, and others attempted to reestablish
city wide campaigns and only Billy Graham was really able to "succeed," albeit only with
ecumenical help from modernists and neoevangelicals. God had pronounced the days of true
revival (as seen in the Philadelphia church) as finished.
apart with only the pope surviving; naturally he would be "neutral" and he would also have a
chance to get back all the land he had lost earlier in the Balkans in 1054 A. D.
The opening guns of WW-I, which were fired in Belgium, were the canons of a German
general named Von Moltke who patterned his entire military philosophy after the RCC. Von
Moltke's invasion of Belgium was carried out by three Roman Catholics: Bethmann,
Berchtold, and Forgach, who had been engaged in restoring the papal domains in Eastern
Europe to the "Holy Roman Empire." - Rev. 18:24
The Catholics in France were in the vast majority, so about 1894 they attempted to set up a
papal church state by attacking a Jewish officer.
Rome's ambitions were to control the Greek Orthodox churches in Russia and the Balkans.
Mussolini and Hitler (both of which were Roman Catholics and had Catholic concordats with
the pope and had the full support of the entire RCC hierarchy), also invaded the Balkans not
30 years after the close of WW-I (which started WW-II).
Adolf Hitler (1889-1945), the providentially chosen successor to the Hapsburgs, was born in
Braunau and raised in Linz, Austria (not Germany). He was a devout Catholic all his life. In
1929, 1924, and 1932 he honored Catholic concordats in Bavaria, Prussia, and Baden,
thereby eliminating all Bible groups from equal privileges and civil rights and thereby
installed Catholicism in the public schools as the only religion approved of by the state to be
taught to German children. Hitler's Catholic ambassador (Von Papen) spoke calmly of the
Third Reich as "a Christian Revolution."
The terms of the Nazi concordat (which was Catholic from start to finish) signed by Pacelli
in 1933 (he was later Pope Pius XII) stated that the Nazi Party was to pay tax money to the
RCC to subsidize Catholic bishops and that there were to be no Protestant chaplains in the
Wermacht or the SS.
WW-II was started by the same RCC outfit, which attempted to finish what was left
unaccomplished in WW-I. Capitalists or communists started neither WW-I nor WW-II.
Historical truth about the RCC and its political and religious exploits had to be replaced by
socialism, humanism, and communist propaganda.
In less than 20 years after WW-I, the pope was again in full charge of the destiny of the lives
of every man, woman, and child in Europe and Russia, and "the holy father" then produced
WW-II, which would take 40 million lives and have a casualty list of over 54 million.
Prophetically, the restoration of the Roman Empire with a Catholic pope as the substitute
"Caesar" for its head (Antichrist), seated on the throne of David at Jerusalem (2 Thess. 2),
will eventually happen, and will fulfill Bible prophesy when it does so.

Publicly, the RCC "remained neutral" as they had throughout the slaughter of WW-I, but the
RCC would never denounce the atrocities and mass killing of Jews.
Any public show (then or now) of piety by the RCC which would lead one to believe the
RCC did not support the genocide of the Jews is hypocrisy and a blatant lie when compared
to the facts of history.
Presently, besides leading the attack to destroy the US Constitution, Roman Catholicism is
deeply involved (worldwide) in organizing Communist third-world countries into a pact, with
each Communist country signing a concordat with the pope to the effect that only one church
on earth is legitimate: Hellish Mother Whore (RCC) - Rev. 17-18 (In all likelihood, an
unholy "marriage" between the RCC and the Moslims will be the impetus for the one-world
Church-State setup under the Antichrist.)
Vatican imperialism has nothing to do with true church history. There is not one element,
aim, purpose, goal, plan, or execution of a plan made by the RCC that has one single Biblical
or true Christian motive behind it!

LAODICEAN CHRISTIANITY
With the onslaught of corrupt modern bibles came the start of many false denominations, all
of which called themselves "Christian."
Forsaking the KJB for the Roman Catholic texts of Alexandria, Egypt caused many churches
to become infiltrated with the false teachings and traditions of the RCC. None of these false
"Christian" denominations began or have ever since been connected with the true New
Testament local church of the KJB.
This "new Christianity" was largely propagated by effeminate, Bible-illiterate, amateur
psychologists, (many of which used the new medium of television) which exalted man
(humanism), the ecumenical charismatic movement, positive messages, theatrics, etc. These
"feel good preachers" were always careful to avoid any reference to the depravity and total
unrighteousness of mankind and would not dare tell anybody that man's best works and
motives would land him in the Lake of Fire for all eternity if he did not trust in the blood
atonement of Jesus Christ.
HOW THE USA WAS PREPARED TO WORSHIP THE ANTICHRIST (REV. 13)
Abraham Lincoln (1861) eliminated Article 10 of the Bill of Rights by stating that UNITY
("the Union") was more important than the whole Constitution, as it preceded it historically.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt (1933) had Prohibition repealed, which produced a nation of
drunks, and then took GOLD by force from the people and replaced it with "Silver
Certificates" worth about ½ the gold.
Michael (Martin) Luther King, Jr. (1963) eliminated Article 1 of the Bill of Rights by
passage of the "Civil Rights Act" of 1964. Present laws and "guidelines" allow for the arrest
and imprisonment of anyone not adopting the news media's approach to integration.
Jack Kennedy (1962) passed emergency measures (Executive Orders 10995-161005) giving
himself the right to confiscate houses, lands, and utilities, including the ability to seize
control of all communications, transportation, and natural resources.
Federal Reserve Board (1960) took all the Silver Certificates away from the people and
replaced them with paper Federal Reserve "NOTES." The next step will be to confiscate all
paper and coin money and replace it with a digital code number (666), which will be
controlled by electronic computers from ROME.

THE REMNANT
By 1980, anybody left who held to true Bible believing Christianity while basing his or her
beliefs solely on the final authority of the King James Bible, was now categorized as being
part of a "cult."
In every age of history God has retained a remnant of true Bible believers that bear the same
marks of Christ that are found in the New Testament. The Bible believing remnant is marked
by:
1. Being "rude in speech, yet not in knowledge." (2 Cor. 11:6)
2. Being "contemptible" in the eyes of the religious elite. (2 Cor. 10:10)
3. Street preachers that upset the "devout" and "pious." Christians (Acts 17:17)
4. An absolute faith in the words of God as received (1 Thess. 2:13) and preserved by God
in the KJB. (Ps. 12:6-6; Matt. 24:35)
5. An absolute belief in the whole Bible. (Acts 24:14)
6. Being harassed and imprisoned by religious authorities. (Acts 23)
7. Being opposed by "educated scholars and intelligentsia." (1 Cor. 1-3; Acts 24)
8. A continual expectation of the return of Christ. (1 Cor. 15; 1 Thess. 4:13-18)
9. Being mocked, criticized, called names, and ridiculed for their "old fashioned stance."

THE BAPTISTS
During this period the Baptists were multiplying by tens of thousands and had passed the
30,000,000 mark by 1980 and had built several seminaries, universities, and Bible colleges.
The Baptists multiplied to the point where three of them were put into the White House
(Truman, Carter, and Clinton).
During this period of monstrous growth, the greatest tragedy was having faculty members in
the Christian institutions of higher learning lead young men and women down the primrose

path of apostate corruption by teaching them that no Book exists anywhere on the face of the
earth which is God's final authority, i.e. no translation can be inspired and without error.
However, the Christian institutions of higher learning became Machines of Apostasy. Of
course these organizations were led by Greek and Hebrew scholars and Department Heads
who had to prove that they were "more educated" than anybody else. This made them
"indispensable" to the rank and file Christian and allowed them to "build their own empire"
and make "a god" out of education and scholarship. (Self-preservation is the first law of life.)
Through the ministerial training (control) of young men and women, these Machines of
Apostasy had successfully snatched the position of "final authority" away from the KJB.
They did it by boasting of their "militant stand for the plenary, verbally inspired original
autographs," which none of them have ever seen, since they do not exist!
The Northern and Southern Baptist Conventions both took on the RCC position by making
unity and power the determining factors in any group decisions, while abandoning the KJB.
There were individual pastors who "stuck by their guns" and continued to believe, preach,
and teach the KJB, including men such as Noel Smith, J. Frank Norris, John Rawlings,
Beauchamp Vick, Louis Entzminger, Harold Henninger, Hugh Pyle, Glenn Schunk, etc.
