Chapter 23

In Memoriam

The Bible speaks very clearly that martyrdom was in store for many that followed
the Lord Jesus Christ.

ìIf the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated

you. If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but

because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the

world, therefore the world hateth you. Remember the word that I

said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they

have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have

kept my saying, they will keep yours also. But all these things will

they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not him

that sent me.î John 15:18-21

The Lord Jesus also cautioned His disciples about how someone might try to
deceive them through such a practice as the Eucharist.

ìThen if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here [this bread and

wine] is Christ, or, there [on the altar]; believe it not.î

Matthew 24:23

The hands of the Catholic Church are stained with the blood of millions of Bible
believing Christians that were executed by Mother Church for claiming that that
ìMost Holy Eucharistî was NOT the actual body, blood, soul AND DIVINITY of
Jesus Christ. Why were they killed? Because, according to Roman Catholic law
there is a great penalty for anyone that relies solely on the scriptures and claims
that the bread and wine are ONLY symbols of the Lord.

ìIf anyone denies that in the sacrament of the most Holy

Eucharist (the magic wafer) are contained truly, really and

substantially the body and blood together with the soul and

divinity of our Lord Jesus Christ, and consequently the whole

Christ, but says that He is in it only as a sign, or figure or

force, let him be anathema*.î 1
