Halloween is Reformation Day

  Today marks the day that The Catholic tyranny broke. For a thousand years The Roman Catholic Church exercised such control over people’s lives, that they had one whole volume by Jean de Gerson on Masturbation where the confessor had to explain what they were thinking, feeling, ache, wayward thought and every nuance of the act to determine their penance! Masturbation was even considered worse than incest and rape!, “The obligation of Christians to confess their sins to a priest is not in the Bible, but medieval writers, drawing on several ambiguous passages, maintained that such an act was mandated by divine law. In 1215, this requirement was made binding by the papal decree Omnis utriusque sexus. At least once a year- preferably at Easter- all adult Christians were expected to confess. To help priests carry out this task, numerous confessor manuals were produced. These listed the different types of sins, weighted their seriousness, and suggested questions to ask. The sins covered...

Devotio Moderna Movement

  The Devotio Moderna was a personal piety movement that arose in the late 14th Century. It was an answer to the lack of personal devotions in the Roman Church which emphasized masses and very structured religious services. Perhaps the most profound literature of    The Devotio Moderna Movement was a book by Thomas A. Kempis, The Imitation of Christ. To date    it remains the second most read book after The Holy Bible. I myself became immersed in it, the Devotio Moderna’s radical piety and devotion to Christ seeing me through tumultuous years, acting as a raft that helped me make sense of my life and cope.  I have since    become aware of the great danger of the Devotio Moderna Movement and The Imitation of Christ which is steeped in Monastic thought, and that Martin Luther had to be de-programmed from.

The Sign of Major Things

If it’s a boy, kill it, but if it’s a girl, let it live.” However, the midwives feared God and didn’t obey the king of Egypt’s orders. They let the boys live. So the king of Egypt called for the midwives. He asked them, “Why have you done this? Why have you let the boys live?” The midwives answered Pharaoh, “Hebrew women are not like Egyptian women. They are so healthy that they have their babies before a midwife arrives.” God was good to the midwives. So the people increased in number and became very strong.  Because the midwives feared God, he gave them families of their own.   Then Pharaoh commanded all his people to throw into the Nile every  ⌞ Hebrew ⌟  boy that was born, but to let every girl live.” (Exodus 1:15-2...
