The Influence of Demons
upon the Apostate Church



"God's Spirit clearly says
that in the last days
many people will turn from
their faith. They will be fooled
by evil spirits and by teachings
that come from  DEMONS."
(1Timothy 4:1)(CEV)-BibleGateway

"This wisdom is not that which comes
down from above, but is earthly (pagan),
natural, demonic."
(James 3:15)(NASB)-BibleGateway

"The Spirit makes it clear
that as time goes on,
some are going to give up on the faith
and chase after DEMONIC illusions
put forth by professional liars.
These liars have lied so well
and for so long that they've lost
their capacity for truth.
They will tell you not to get married.
(forced celibacy among priests and nuns)
They'll tell you not to eat this
or that food— (Fish only on Fridays)...."
(1Timothy 4:1-4)(MSG)-BibleGateway

"The Holy Spirit clearly says
that in the last days
some people will leave the faith.
They will follow spirits that
will fool them. They will believe
things that demons will teach them.
(1Timothy 4:1)(NIRV)-BibleGateway

2 Thessalonians 2:3-12
(NASB)
" 3^(A)Let no one in any way deceive you,
for it will not come unless the apostasy comes first,
and the ^(C)man of lawlessness is revealed, the ^(D)son of destruction, 
4who opposes and exalts himself above ^(E)every so-called god
or object of worship (pope), so that he takes his seat
in the temple of God, ^(F)displaying himself as being God. 
 5Do you not remember that ^(G)while I was still with you,
I was telling you these things? 
 6And you know ^(H)what restrains him now,
so that in his time he will be revealed. 
 7For ^(I)the mystery of lawlessness is already at work;
only ^(J)he who now restrains (the apostles)will do so
until he is taken out of the way. 
 8Then that lawless one ^(K)will be revealed
whom the Lord will slay ^(L)with the breath of His mouth
and bring to an end by the ^(M)appearance of His coming; 
 9that is, the one whose coming is in accord with the activity
of  Satan, with all power and signs and false wonders, 
 10and with all the deception of wickedness for those who perish,
because they did not receive the love of the truth so as to be saved. 
11For this reason God will send upon them a deluding influence
so that they will believe what is false, 
12in order that they all may be judged who
^(T)did not believe the truth, but ^(U)took pleasure
in wickedness. "
 
Savage Wolves


"I know that after I leave,
savage wolves will come in among you
and will not spare the flock.
Even from your own number
men will arise and distort the truth
in order to draw away disciples after them."

"Meanwhile we proceed to describe one of those
few Inquisitions that remain to this day

Chamber of Torture."

THE TORTURES OF THE INQUISITION.

 

"It derives its name, the Torture-chamber,
not only from the fact that the torture was
here inflicted, but because into this one chamber
has been collected a complete set of the instruments
of torture gleaned from the various Inquisitions
that formerly existed in Bavaria."

"A glance suffices to show the whole dreadful
apparatus by which the adherents of Rome
sought to maintain her dogmas...the genius that
devised this system of coercion...The persecutor
had calculated, doubtless, that the effect
produced upon the mind of his victim by these
dreaded apparitions...the unfortunate prisoner,
on entering such a place...the infernal den...
where more dreadful sights meet our gaze.
It is hung round and round with instruments
of torture, so numerous that it would take
a long while even to name them, and so diverse
that it would take a much longer time to describe
them."

"There were instruments for compressing the fingers
till the bones should be squeezed to splinters.
There were instruments for probing below the
finger-nails till an exquisite pain, like a
burning fire, would run along the nerves.
There were instruments for tearing out the tongue,
for scooping out the eyes, for grubbing-up the ears.
There were bunches of iron cords, with a spiked
circle at the end of every whip, for tearing the
flesh from the back till bone and sinew were
laid bare. There were iron cases for the legs,
which were tightened upon the limb placed in
them by means of a screw, till flesh and bone
were reduced to a jelly."

"There were cradles set full of sharp spikes,
in which victims were laid and rolled from side
to side, the wretched occupant being pierced
at each movement of the machine with innumerable
sharp points. There were iron ladles with long
handles, for holding molten lead or boiling pitch,
to be poured down the throat of the victim,
and convert his body into a burning cauldron."

"There were frames with holes to admit the hands

them had his body bent into unnatural and painful
positions, and the agony grew greater and greater
by moments, and yet the man did not die."

but these we shall meet in other dungeons we are
yet to visit."
-History of the Jesuits
by Dr. J. A. Wylie LL.D.,
Chapter 11 - 1878
THE TORTURES OF THE INQUISITION.

"The first impression on entering the chamber
was one of bewildering horror; a confused procession
of mangled, mutilated, agonising men, speechless
in their great woe, the flesh peeled from off
their livid sinews, the sockets where eyes had
been, hollow and empty, seemed to pass before one."

"The things we have been surveying are not
the mere models of the instruments made use of
in the Holy Office; but they are the veritable
instruments themselves. We see before us the actual
implements by which hundreds and thousands of men
and women, were torn, and mangled, and slain.
These terrible realities the men of the sixteenth
century had to face and endure."

"We leave the Torture-chamber to visit
the Inquisition proper. We go eastward,
about half a mile...till we come to an old
tower,  The lantern is to show us our way,
and the candles are for the purpose of
being lighted and stuck up at the turnings
in the dark underground passages which we
are about to traverse. The cicerone, selecting
the largest from the bunch of keys, inserts
it in the lock of the massy portal before
which we stand, bolt after bolt is turned,
and the door, with hoarse heavy groan as it
turns on its hinge, opens slowly to us.
We begin to descend. We go down one flight
of steps; we go down a second flight;
we descend yet a third... a gleam thrown
forward from the lantern showed us that we
were arrived at the entrance of a horizontal,
narrow passage...the corridor we were traversing
was hewn out of the rock.  Every step was
carrying us deeper into the heart of the rock,
and multiplying the barriers between us
and the upper world. We were shut in with the
thick darkness and the awful silence. We began to realize
what must have been the feelings of some unhappy
disciple of the Gospel, surprised by the familiars
of the Holy Office...No cry, however piercing,
could reach the ear of man through these roofs
of rock. He was entirely in the power of those
who had brought him thither."

"We found ourselves in a rather roomy chamber,
it might be about twelve feet square.
This was the Chamber of Question.
Along one side of the apartment ran
a low platform. There sat of old the
inquisitors, three in number.. The only
thing that remained of that platform was
the crucifix, or image of the cross,
which still remained. The six candles that
usually burned before the "holy Fathers"
were, of course, extinguished, but our
lantern supplied their place, and showed us
the grim furnishings of the apartment.

THE TORTURES OF THE INQUISITION.

 

"In the middle was the horizontal rack
or bed of torture, on which the victim
was stretched till bone separated from bone,
and his dislocated frame became the seat
of agony, which was suspended only when it
had reached a pitch that threatened death."
-History of the Jesuits
by Dr. J. A. Wylie LL.D.,
Chapter 11 - 1878
THE TORTURES OF THE INQUISITION.

 

"Leaning against the wall of the chamber
was the upright rack, which is simpler,
but as an instrument of torture not less
effectual, than the horizontal one.
There was the iron chain which wound over
a pulley, and hauled up the victim to the
vaulted roof; and there were the two great
stone weights which, tied to his feet,
and the iron cord let go, brought him down
with a jerk that dislocated his limbs,
while the spiky rollers, which he grazed
in his descent, cut into and excoriated his back,
leaving his body a bloody, dislocated mass."
-History of the Jesuits
by Dr. J. A. Wylie LL.D.,
Chapter 11 - 1878
THE TORTURES OF THE INQUISITION.

 

"All round, ready to hand, were hung the
minor instruments of torture. There were screws
and thumbkins for the fingers, spiked collars
for the neck, iron boots for the legs, gags
for the mouth, cloths to cover the face,
and permit the slow percolation of water,
drop by drop, down the throat of the person
undergoing this form of torture."
-History of the Jesuits
by Dr. J. A. Wylie LL.D.,
Chapter 11 - 1878
THE TORTURES OF THE INQUISITION.
 

 

"There were rollers set round with spikes,
for bruising the arms and back; there were
iron scourges, pincers, and tongs for tearing
out the tongue, slitting the nose and ears,
and otherwise disfiguring and mangling the body
till it was horrible and horrifying to look
upon it. There were other things of which an
expert only could tell the name and the use.
Had these instruments a tongue, and could the
history of this chamber be written, how awful
the tale!"

"What further punishment has the Holy Office
in reserve for those from whom its torments
have failed to extort a recantation?
These dreadful dungeons furnish us with the
means of answering this question."
-History of the Jesuits
by Dr. J. A. Wylie LL.D.,
Chapter 11 - 1878
THE TORTURES OF THE INQUISITION.

 

"A few steps are taken downwards...Here there
is a vaulted chamber, entirely dug out of
the living rock, except the roof, which is
formed of hewn stone. It contains an iron image
of the Virgin (Mary); and on the opposite wall,
suspended by an iron hook, is a lamp, which
when lighted shows the goodly proportions
of "Our Lady." On the instant of touching
a spring the image flings open its arms,
which resemble the doors of a cupboard,
and which are seen to be stuck full on the
inside with poignards (knives), each about a
foot in length. Some of these knives are so
placed as to enter the eyes of those whom
the image enfolded in its embrace,
others are set so as to penetrate the ears
and brain, others to pierce the breast,
and others again to gore the abdomen."
-History of the Jesuits
by Dr. J. A. Wylie LL.D.,
Chapter 11 - 1878
THE TORTURES OF THE INQUISITION.

 

"The person who had passed through the terrible
ordeal of the Question-chamber, but had made no
recantation, would be led along the tortuous
passage by which we had come, and ushered into
this vault, where the first object that would
greet his eye, the pale light of the lamp falling
on it, would be the iron Virgin. He would be
bidden to stand right in front of the image.
The spring would be touched by the executioner
— and the Virgin would fling open her arms,
and the wretched victim would straightway
be forced within them. Another spring was
then touched — and the Virgin closed upon
her victim.  At the touching of a third spring,
the floor of the image would slide aside,
and the body of the victim drop down the mouth
of a perpendicular shaft in the rock.
We look down this pit, and can see,
at a great depth, the shimmer of water.
A canal had been made to flow underneath the
vault where stood the iron Virgin, and when
she had done her work upon those who were
delivered over to her tender mercies,
she let them fall, with quick descent and
sullen plunge, into the canal underneath,
where they were floated to the Pegnitz,
and from the Pegnitz to the Rhine,
and by the Rhine to the ocean, there to
sleep beside the dust of Huss and Jerome."

Heresy (Greek hairesis) – “An opinion or doctrine
not in line with the accepted teaching of the church;
the opposite of orthodoxy”
-- (Holman Bible Dictionary)

The Jesuit Oath - Against Heresy
(The Society of Jesus)

The following is the text
of the Jesuit Extreme Oath of Induction
as recorded in the Journals
of the 62nd Congress, 3rd Session,
of the United States Congressional Record
(House Calendar No. 397, Report No. 1523,
15 February, 1913, pp. 3215-3216),
from which it was subsequently torn out.

The Oath is also quoted by Charles Didier
in his book Subterranean Rome (New York, 1843)

Dr. Alberto Rivera, who escaped
from the Jesuit Order in 1967,
confirms that the induction ceremony
and the text of the Jesuit Oath
which he took were identical
to what we have cited below.

"To what extent the Catholics were masters
of Nazi Germany soon became apparent
as also did the severity with which some of
the "Papacy's high principles" were applied.
The liberals and Jews had plenty of spare time
to find out that these principles were far from
out-dated, as the most orthodox voices confirmed it.
The right the Church arrogates herself to
exterminate slowly or speedily those who are
in the way was "put into practice" at Auschwitz,
Dachau, Belsen, Buchenwald and other death
camps..."

Cruelty and Opression
Under the Papacy

 

"Heretics may
not only be excommunicated,
but also justly put to death."

"We declare, say, define,
and pronounce that every
being should be subject
to the Roman Pontiff."
-(Catholic Encyclopedia, 
    Vol. XV, p. 126)

 

"The pope issued orders
that the Protestants should be
forced to recant or be killed.
This led to terrible persecutions
which killed millions of people
throughout Europe, and which
wiped out the Reformation on the
Continent, which is why two thirds
of mainland Europe is Roman Catholic
today."

The Papal Legacy

THE  PAPACY
 
"Most Catholics go through their entire
lives without hearing a single condemnatory
word against the papacy.  Many today still
profess great love for the pontiff.
These true believers would be astonished
to learn that historically, most of the popes
have not been loved, but instead hated and feared,
and deservedly so, for the Vatican has been
the home base for some of the most thoroughly
evil and corrupt men in human history,
all hiding behind the cloak of righteous
respectability and today supported by
unquestioning political and media elites."
-The Popes: Saints or Madmen?

"The use of torture was authorized
in 1252 by Pope Innocent IV. In Spain,
it is estimated that torture was used
in about 1/3 of all cases. (Hroch, p. 146)
The purpose of torture was to exact confessions.
Since some people questioned whether confessions
received under torture were valid, the accused
would be asked to verify what they had admitted
under torture several hours later. If they
refused to validate their confession,
then they would be subject to more torture!"

of the vast multitude of infanticides

"Once he became Pope Alexander VI,
Vatican parties, already wild, grew wilder.
They were costly, but he could afford the
lifestyle of a Renaissance prince;
as vice chancellor of the Roman Church,
he had amassed enormous wealth.
As guests approached the papal palace,
they were excited by the spectacle of
living statues: naked, gilded young men
and women in erotic poses. Flags bore
the Borgia arms, which, appropriately,
portrayed a red bull rampant on a field
of gold. Every fete had a theme.
One, known to Romans as the Ballet of the
Chestnuts, was held on October 30, 1501.
The indefatigable Burchard describes it
in his Diarium.  After the banquet dishes
had been cleared away, the city's fifty
most beautiful whores danced with the guests,
"first clothed, then naked. The dancing over,
the "ballet" began, with the Pope and two of
his children in the best seats.

"Candelabras were set up on the floor,
scattered among them were chestnuts,
"which", Burchard writes, "the courtesans
had to pick up, crawling between the candles."
Then the serious sex started. Guests stripped
and ran out onto the floor, where they mounted,
or were mounted by, the prostitutes.
"The coupling took place," according to Burchard,
"in front of everyone present." Servants kept score
of each man's orgasms, for the Pope greatly admired
virility, and measured a man's machismo by his
ejaculative capacity. After eveyone was exhausted,
His Holiness distributed prizes- cloaks, boots, caps,
and fine silken tunics. "The winners", the diarist
wrote, "were those who made love with the courtesans
the greatest number of times."

 The Dominicans

 

"The Dominican friars would do well,
in modern times, to change their name.
The fanaticism of their founder was more
dangerous to others than to himself.
He specialized on hatred of heretics,
and his white-robed sons grimly stoked
the fires of the Inquisition...many millions 
were punished with horrible death or
torture."

hundred years."

Dominicans Became Dreaded Inquisitors

"It was Gregory IX who instituted
the machinery of The Inquisition in 1227.
Torture would be allowed, as it had been
under Roman law.  On April 20, 1233,
by papal bull, Pope Gregory placed
the operation of the Inquisition into
the hands of the Dominicans. The methods
employed by his order included torture
and execution, usually by burning.
The good name of the Dominicans was
forever stained by their participation
in this cruel activity. Before long the
order became popularly known as Domini canes,
Latin for "God's dogs."

"The accused had almost no rights –
no right to a lawyer, no right to know
who their accusers were, and no right to
know the nature of the charges leveled
against them. Torture was used in many
cases to extract confessions. The families
of heretics that were burned typically

The Medieval Inquisition

"In the early Middle Ages
investigation of heresy was a duty of
the bishops.  The popes issued increasingly
stringent instructions as to the methods
for dealing with heretics. Finally, in 1233,
Pope Gregory IX established the papal Inquisition,
dispatching Dominican friars to S France to
conduct inquests."
-The Columbia Encyclopedia,
  Sixth Edition.  2001.
  Under Topic - "Inquisition"

"After 1254 the accused had no right
to counsel...The trials were conducted
secretly....Torture of the accused and his
witnesses soon became customary and notorious.
Pope Innocent IV ultimately permitted torture
in cases of heresy."
-The Columbia Encyclopedia,
  Sixth Edition.  2001.
  Under Topic - "Inquisition"

"Most trials resulted in a guilty verdict.
Burning at the stake was thought to be the
fitting punishment for heresy.  A verdict of
guilty also meant the confiscation of property
by the civil ruler, who might turn over part
of it to the church. This practice led to graft,
blackmail, and simony and also created suspicion
of some of the inquests."
-The Columbia Encyclopedia,
  Sixth Edition.  2001.
  Under Topic - "Inquisition"

"Generally the inquisitors were eager
to receive abjurations of heresy and to
avoid trials. Secular rulers came to use
the persecution of heresy as a weapon of state,
as in the case of the suppression of the
Knights Templars."
-The Columbia Encyclopedia,
  Sixth Edition.  2001.
  Under Topic - "Inquisition"

"The Inquisition was employed mainly in
S France, N Italy, and Germany. In 1542,
Pope Paul III assigned the medieval
Inquisition to the Congregation of
the Inquisition, or Holy Office.
This institution, which became known
as the Roman Inquisition, was intended
to combat Protestantism, but it is perhaps
best known historically for its condemnation
of Galileo. After the Second Vatican Conference,
it was replaced (1965) by the Congregation
for the Doctrine of the Faith, which governs
vigilance in matters of faith."
-The Columbia Encyclopedia,
  Sixth Edition.  2001.
  Under Topic - "Inquisition"

 

"The Spanish Inquisition was much harsher,
more highly organized, and far freer with
the death penalty than the medieval Inquisition.
The Spanish Inquisition was finally abolished
in 1834."
-The Columbia Encyclopedia,
  Sixth Edition.  2001.
  Under Topic - "Inquisition"

 "We must rank the Inquisition....as among
the darkest blots on the record of mankind,
revealing a ferocity unknown in any beast."
-The book- The Age of Faith;
       by Will Durant

 "In Rome, in 1849, I myself visited
every convent.  I was present at all
the investigations. Without a single
exception we found instruments of torture,
and a cellar with the bodies of
infant children."
-- The Italian patriot,
Giuseppe Garibald (1807-1882)

"There has been no more organized effort
by a religion to control people and contain
their spirituality than the Christian Inquisition.
Developed within the Church's own legal framework,
the Inquisition attempted to terrify people
into obedience. Pope Innocent III declared
"that anyone who attempted to construe a
personal view of God which conflicted with
Church dogma must be burned without pity."
-- Controlling the Human Spirit
The Inquisition and Slavery  1250-1800  
  by Helen Ellerbe
from The Dark Side of Christian History

"Thus, with license granted by the Pope himself,
inquisitors were free to explore the depths of
horror and cruelty. Dressed as black-robed fiends
with black cowls over their heads, inquisitors
could extract confessions from nearly anyone."
-- Controlling the Human Spirit
The Inquisition and Slavery  1250-1800  
  by Helen Ellerbe
from The Dark Side of Christian History

"The Inquisition invented every conceivable
devise to inflict pain by slowly dismembering
and dislocating the body. Many of the devices
were inscribed with the motto "Glory be only to God."
The rack, the hoist, and the water tortures were
the most common. Victims were rubbed with lard
or grease and slowly roasted alive. Ovens built
to kill people, made infamous in twentieth century
Nazi Germany, were first used by the Christian
Inquisition in Eastern Europe. Victims were
thrown into a pit full of snakes and burned alive."
-- Controlling the Human Spirit
The Inquisition and Slavery  1250-1800  
  by Helen Ellerbe
from The Dark Side of Christian History

"Historians have often tried to diminished
Christian responsibility for the Inquisition
by dividing the Inquisition into three separate
phases: the medieval, the Spanish, and the Roman.
Yet, the Spanish Inquisition's most influential
leader, the Dominican Tomás de Torquemada, was
appointed Inquisitor General by Pope Sixtus IV."

God Has A Name

God Has A Name

"The Maker should have honour from his works,
they should tell forth his praise:
and thus they should praise his name—
by which his character is intended.
The name of JEHOVAH is written legibly
upon his works, so that his power, wisdom,
goodness, and other attributes are therein
made manifest to thoughtful men, and thus
his name is praised.  We can never extol
him better than by repeating his name.
-- Source -- The Treasury of David; Psalm 148
             by Charles H. Spurgeon (1834-92)

A Shocking Truth -
"Lord" - is NOT His Name

To some, the name, "Jehovah" - is a household word.
To others it is a shock to learn that God has a name.
Many thought that the title "LORD" was His Name.
But Lord was only used as a substitute for His Name.

"The Hebrew name "Jehovah" is generally translated
in the Authorized Version and the Revised Version
of The Bible - by the word "LORD" -  printed in small
capitals, to show that an omission has taken place."
-Bible Encyclopedia
Author - Matthew G. Easton

"the writers of the sixteenth century,
both Catholic and Protestant - were perfectly
familiar with the word - Jehovah."
