The FUEL Project- Section 6 of 12: A War of Words. The Reformation (when men began openly challenging the heresies & corruption of the RCC), combined with the invention of the printing press, allowed people to hear the truth of the word of God and break away from RCC tyranny. The Bible then began to be printed in common languages. Although the RCC tried to burn any copies it found and execute those who provided the translations, its control over its empire began to slip. The history of early Bible translations is discussed. A hard look at the Jesuits & their mission.
The FUEL Project “Know Your Enemy” by Mark Fairley of the FUEL Project is a selection of videos that address how the one-world government Scripture foretells is being forged right before our eyes.
If anyone teaches otherwise and does not consent to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which accords with godliness, he is proud, knowing nothing, but is obsessed with disputes and arguments over words, from which come envy, strife, reviling, evil suspicions, useless wranglings* of men of corrupt minds and destitute of the truth, who suppose that godliness is a means of gain. From such withdraw yourself. [1 Timothy 6:3-5]
The FUEL Project- Section 6: A War of Words
The “enemy” is not a person or even a group of people, for we wrestle not against flesh & blood. The “enemy” is Satan who exerts himself as a spiritual force against that which is of God.
Part 31 – The Information War I
The Reformation (in which men began to openly challenge the heresies & corruption of the RCC), combined with the invention of the printing press, allowed people to hear the truth of the word of God and break away from RCC tyranny. The Bible then began to be printed in common languages. Although the RCC tried to burn any copies it found and execute those who provided the translations, its control over its empire began to slip. The history of early Bible translations is discussed.
Part 32 – The Information War II
The discussion of the development of Bible versions continues here. Henry VIII broke from the RCC and founded the Church of England, or the Anglican Church, including its own English Bible, and the English monarchs became its head. However, when Queen “Bloody” Mary came to power, she attempted to bring England back under Roman authority, burning at the stake anyone thought to be a Protestant. The Reformers were allowed to return to England after “Bloody” Mary’s reign ended.
In 1582, the RCC surrendered its fight against a Latin-only Bible and created its own English version, based solely on the already-proven corrupt Latin Vulgate translation. In many ways, the Church of England is a sister to the RCC in origin, doctrine, and practice, even to the point of persecuting Protestants, as the RCC had. Although Satan – through the RCC – attempted to establish a hierarchy of knowledge to limit people’s knowledge of God and keep them dependent upon that organization, he failed yet again. The Reformers were killed, but because of their moral courage, the RCC stronghold was broken.
“We came in like lambs and will rule like wolves.
We shall be expelled like dogs and return like eagles.”–Francesco Borgia (3rd Jesuit Superior General)
Yet Satan never changes. He still wants to control the flow of information about God to limit people’s knowledge of God. The most effective way to control the flow of information today is to control the media. Will we be courageous enough to stand up for the Gospel, even at the expense of our lives?
Part 33 – The Jesuits
As the Reformation threatened to strip the RCC of power, the RCC launched the Counter-Reformation to nullify it and reassert its dominance. Therefore, the Council of Trent was held to “clean up” the RCC and reaffirm it as the only true church of God. Fundamental to this movement was the establishment of new religious orders, including the Society of Jesus, commonly known as the Jesuits.
Ignatius Loyola founded the Jesuits. Loyola eventually dedicated his life to asceticism in a Benedictine monastery in Montserrat and later moved to live in a cave. Like Muhammad, Loyola received demonic visitations in the cave after he spent some time in self-mutilation, claiming that a figure in the shape of a serpent gave him revelation about the secret doctrine of the Catholic church. It is said that Loyola had mystic powers after this time. Loyola and 6 companions formed the initial brotherhood of the Society of Jesus, and he became its first Superior General. Their goal was to reestablish the RCC’s dominance. Eventually, the organization recognized the need for a military order to counter the Reformation, and it became a recognized arm of the RCC.
Part 34 – The Spiritual Exercises (Spiritual Formation)
Loyola ritualized his actions in the cave, which led to the demonic visions as something called the “Spiritual Exercises”. Every Jesuit was required to go through this initiation. By the end of this process, the Jesuit’s mind would be broken and brought into complete subjection to his superiors and the order. According to their constitution, Jesuit superiors could even command a Jesuit to sin to further their goals, because the Supreme General was to be seen as Christ’s vicar, just as the pope is to the RCC laity. Even today, the Spiritual Exercises are promoted within “Emergent Christianity” by individuals such as Tony Campolo.
Part 35 – The Jesuit Oath
The Jesuit Oath commits each member to do any and all of the following in furthering the goals of the pope:
- Become a “dissembler” or “fifth column” in order to obtain the confidence of and deceive the masses in information gathering;
- Incite wars and bloodshed in order to disrupt the peace of nations not under RCC control;
- Obtain leadership positions in religion, government, financial and education sectors in order to render them in service to the pope;
- Consecrate his labors in blood by executing and exterminating heretics.
Part 36 – Jesuit Deception
The Jesuit is assured that he will never have to be accountable and is absolved of all personal responsibility – even before God – for any act committed to obeying the commands of those higher up in the hierarchy.
Part 37 – The Rise & Fall of the Jesuits
The Jesuits realized that controlling education went a long way toward controlling information among the masses, so they set up educational institutions worldwide to mold the “minds and souls of men.” However, as several European governments grew to resent Jesuit influence, the Jesuits began to lose favor. Under pressure from European monarchs, the RCC abolished the Jesuit order in 1773.
