FROM N.T.E.B. 

The Spanish Inquisition Was The Fruit Of A Religious System That Feared The Bible, Hated Gospel Liberty, And Persecuted The Bible Believers Who Rejected Rome’s False Doctrines.The issue was authority. Would the final authority be the words of God, or would it be the decrees of Rome? Would salvation be by grace through faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ, or would it be dispensed through sacraments, priests, masses, indulgences, confessions, penances, and a church-state system that claimed power over both body and soul?

 “These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be offended. They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service. And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor me.” John 16:1-3

John Foxe records the hatred that the religious authorities had for the Bible in the common tongue. Concerning Tyndale’s New Testament, Foxe says that the clergy were “not willing to have that book to prosper,” and that some cried that it must be “utterly to be suppressed.” That is Rome’s spirit in one sentence: suppress the Book, silence the preacher, and keep the people in darkness. The issue was never merely politics, though politics was often involved.

 

The Apostle Paul, wrote many wonderful,  truths, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. This one is a much needed WARNING, for today's church.

Ephesians 4:14  (KJV) 

"That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;"

Keeping in mind, his warning to the Church at Ephesus: Acts 20: 28-31

²⁸ Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.

²⁹ For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.

³⁰ Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.

³¹ Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears.

Introduction

Abortion is legal to some extent in all but 21 countries. Worldwide, roughly 46 million babies are destroyed in the womb each year. About one in five pregnancies end in abortion. The overwhelming majority of abortions are done as a means of birth control and convenience.

God’s people are obligated to honor God’s law more than man’s. Though abortion is legal, that does not mean that it is right in God’s eyes. “We ought to obey God rather than men” (Acts 5:29).

By 21 days, the baby’s heart begins to beat and the blood flows through its body. At 45 days, the tiny baby’s brain waves can be detected. By 8 to 9 weeks the eyelids have begun forming and hair appears. By 9 or 10 weeks, the baby sucks its thumb, jumps, frowns, swallows, and moves its tongue. By 12 or 13 weeks, the baby has fingernails and its own unique fingerprints; all arteries are present, vocal cords are complete; the baby can cry and recoils from pain. At 14 weeks ,the mother begins to feel the baby moving. At 15 weeks, the baby has fully-formed taste buds. At 16 weeks, it has eyebrows and eyelashes, and it can grasp with its hands, kick, and even somersault. At 20 weeks, the baby can hear and recognize its mother’s voice.

The most common types of abortion are the following:

What the Roman Catholic Church Teaches About Salvation

Enlarged May 21, 2026 (first published July 9, 2008)

Because of the ecumenical movement, a growing number of Roman Catholics are familiar with biblical terminology about salvation, such as born again, and some have been trained to reply affirmatively to the questions, “Are you saved?” or, “Have you been born again?”

The problem is that they do not mean by this what the Bible means.Biblical terms are redefined. Rome’s doctrine of salvation is not the the true gospel of complete and sure salvation through personal faith in Jesus Christ. It is a gospel of works that is sometimes presented under the guise of grace.

Roman Catholic apologists are also confusing things with their private interpretations of Catholic doctrine. But we aren’t dependent upon a Catholic apologist. We will go directly to the authoritative statements of the highest authorities of the Catholic church itself.

THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH’S DOCTRINE OF SALVATION CAN BE SUMMARIZED AS FOLLOWS:

1. Rome teaches that Christ, having purchased redemption by His blood and death, delivered it to the Catholic Church to be distributed to men through her sacraments.

Rome’s gospel centers in the Catholic Church, the pope, the priesthood, and the sacraments. While Catholicism teaches that Christ died on the cross to purchase man’s salvation, it is not satisfied simply to invite men to receive this salvation by faith directly from the resurrected Christ.

Consider the following quotes from the Vatican II Council:

“For ‘God’s only-begotten Son ... has won a treasure for the militant Church ... he has entrusted it to blessed Peter, the key-bearer of heaven, and to his successors who are Christ’s vicars on earth, SO THAT THEY MAY DISTRIBUTE IT TO THE FAITHFUL FOR THEIR SALVATION. They may apply it with mercy for reasonable causes to all who have repented for and have confessed their sins. At times they may remit completely, and at other times only partially, the temporal punishment due to sin in a general as well as in special ways (insofar as they judge it to be fitting in the sight of the Lord). The merits of the Blessed Mother of God and of all the elect ... are known to add further to this treasury’” (ellipsis are in the original) (Vatican II Council, Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy, Apostolic Constitution on the Revision of Indulgences, Chap. 4, 7, p. 80).

“For it is through Christ’s Catholic Church alone, which is the universal help towards salvation, that the fulness of the means of salvation can be obtained. It was to the apostolic college alone of which Peter is the head, that we believe that our Lord entrusted all the blessings of the New Covenant, in order to establish on earth the one Body of Christ into which all those should be fully incorporated who belong in any way to the people of God” (Vatican II Council, Decree on Ecumenism, chap. 1, 3, p. 415).

Now The End Begins Read on blog or Reader   Israel Set To Host The Middle East’s Largest LGBTQ+ Festival ‘Pride Land’ At The Dead Sea In A Mockery Of The God Who Burned Both Sodom And Gomorrha. Now The End Begins Read on blog or Reader By Geoffrey Grider on April 28, 2026 The God Who Burned Sodom And Gomorrha There are moments when the Bible believer looks at the headlines and feels like they are watching the pages of Scripture rise up, walk off the page, and rebuke the modern world in real time. Israel’s planned Pride Land LGBTQ+ festival at the Dead Sea in June 2026 is one of those moments. Think about the arrogance of it! The very people, the Jews, to whom "were committed the oracles of God", the word of God, are now the same people who spit in God's face promoting what He hates. At NTEB, we have always stood with the Jews, supported the nation of Israel and prayed for the peace of Jerusalem. But that support is not a 'blank check', and we absolutely call all Christians everywhere to stand against this 'Pride Land at the Dead Sea' abomination. Pray for the salvation of the Jews and Israel. "But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the LORD exceedingly." Genesis 13:13 (KJB) The Dead Sea region is not just a pretty desert backdrop for rainbow flags, DJs, hotel packages and global Pride tourism. It is the biblical landscape associated with Sodom and Gomorrha, a place forever linked in the word of God with rebellion, sexual perversion, divine wrath, and the fire of Almighty God falling from Heaven. The same God who rained brimstone and fire on Sodom is now being openly mocked by a generation that thinks judgment is impossible because they have festivals, branding, sponsors, hashtags and hotel reservations. But God is not mocked. “Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.” Jude 7 (KJB)

TRIREGNUM (TRIPLE CROWN) 

So, where is this in the Bible?

Nowhere!

THE PAPAL CROWN
An example of the pomposity of the popes in former times is the proclamation issued in 1302 by Pope
Boniface VIII titled Unam Sanctum (One Holy). King Philip IV of France and Edward I of England,
tired of papal meddling in their nation’s affairs, were resisting it. For example Boniface had issued a
bull in 1296 forbidding kings to tax the clergy without papal permission. Aer Philip had a bishop
tried for treason and imprisoned, the pope responded with Unam Sanctum. He claimed that no one
can be saved who does not submit to the pope as the supreme head of the church and demanded that
kings and all earthly authority be subject to him. Following is an excerpt: “Furthermore, we declare,
we proclaim, we define that it is absolutely necessary for salvation that every human creature be
subject to the Roman Pontiff.” (For more on the office and history of the papacy, see e History of the
Churches from a Baptist Perspective, 2 volumes, at the Courses section of www.wayoflife.org.)
e authority claimed by the pope through the centuries is
signified by the papal tiara. It is a white helmet-like crown
made of gold and silver, ornamented with precious stones and
pearls, encircled with three rings, with a small cross at the top.
us, it was a crown of three crowns. Crowns were worn by
popes as early as the 8th century, but they had no rings or only
one ring. e three crowns were added gradually. Pope
Boniface VIII (1294-1303) added a second circle or crown.
Benedict XII, who died in 1342, added the third crown. e
triple crown is called the Triregnum (triple rule). e pope was
crowned with these words: “Receive the three-fold crown of
the Tiara, and know that thou art the Father of princes and
Kings, the Ruler of the round earth, and here below the vicar
[representative] of Jesus Christ, to whom be Honor and Glory
forever, Amen.” It is said that the triple crown signifies the
pope as “supreme pastor, supreme teacher, and supreme
priest.” is is a blasphemous usurpation of Christ’s offices.
Pope Paul VI (r. 1963-1978) was the last pope to wear the tiara,
but it is still used to crown the statue of Peter in St. Peter’s
Basilica each year and remains a part of the papal coat of arms.

 BEAVERS, THE MASTER BUILDERS. 

 (Friday Church
News Notes, March 6, 2026, www.wayoflife.org
fbns@wayoflife.org, 866-295-4143) - The following
is from CreationMoments.com, December 24, 2025:
“Beavers are widely known for their huge
constructions. However, beavers build more than
just dams. The beaver is quite an engineer. When
building a dam, a beaver first rams poles into the
bed of his waterway. The poles are placed on an
angle to increase holding power and are then
rammed into the waterway bed, thick end first. This
basic skeleton is then reinforced with twigs, leaves,
mud and stone. It’s not unusual for the beaver to use
forked branches to further anchor his construction
to trees and boulders. One beaver dam was over
1,800 feet long, 9 feet high, and 18 feet wide. It was
strong enough for a horse and rider to use as a
natural bridge. Large trees brought down for use in
construction are not dragged by the beavers to their
project. Instead, beavers dig overland channels and
float the trees to the main body of water where they
are working. These channels can be 1,000 feet long.
Our wise Creator gave so much intelligence and
wisdom to the animal kingdom that often we can learn
some things from the animals. Rather than supporting
the idea of evolution, with its claim that there is
progressively greater intelligence in higher creatures,
the beaver supports the idea that the Creator is the
source of all intelligence.
