HISTORICAL PERSECUTIONS OF BELIEVERS – LESSON 8

THE WALDENSIANS

 

The new Roman Catholic Church, founded in the fourth century, continued persecuting Arian Christians through the fifth century. We will now look at persecutions of groups of believers as well as key individual believers over the following fourteen centuries. The Catholic Church persecuted anyone who did not conform to the authoritative rulership of the Catholic Church or any who criticized practices of the Church.

 

We will begin with the Waldensians in the twelfth century. The founder, John Waldo of Lyons, France, was moved by reading Jesus’ words in Mark 10:21 saying to sell your goods, give it to the poor, and follow me. He did this and started preaching the gospel in public. People got saved and the movement grew rapidly. They became known as “The Poor” based on Matthew 5:3 which says, “Blessed are the poor in spirit…” as they voluntarily took Mark 10:21 literally. It began in the 1170’s A.D.

 

They were evangelical and were fundamental in doctrine. Some have called them “the first reformation” four hundred years ahead of the Protestant Reformation led by Martin Luther.

Although they still technically self-identified as Catholic, they went against much of the Catholic doctrine and church practices. By 1184 it had grown to the point where Pope Lucius III at the Synod of Verona excommunicated John Waldo and his followers.  In 1211 the Catholic church burned over 80 of these declared heretics at the stake.  

 

What prompted the established church of Rome to hate these Waldensians? What were they teaching? Here is a summary:

 

1. The total depravity (sin nature) of man

2. Denial of purgatory

3. No Bishops or Pope needed; Apostles had set elders, not Popes and bishops

4. No holy relics

5. They could eat meat every day (The Catholic church prohibited meat on Friday)

6. Pilgrimages were not necessary

7. No such thing as “holy water”

8. No transubstantiation (the literal blood and body of Christ in communion).

9. No church building was necessary in order to worship God.

 

They also believed the average believer should be able to read the Bible for himself which was forbidden by the Catholic church. Also, the Catholic Church only allowed scripture to be in Latin, the language of Rome. The Waldensians had several books of the Bible translated into the local French dialect for all to read.

 

This defiance of Catholic despotic control is what prompted the church to persecute these true believers of the gospel for many centuries to come. Yet, there are still some Waldensians in parts of France and Italy today. They have endured over 800 years of Roman Catholic persecution.

 

The beliefs they held are essentially the same beliefs held by most Protestants today. Their persistence is to be admired.

THE GREAT EXCHANGE

 

Imagine owing a great debt that you cannot pay off. I am sure that you would be stressed over it, and chances are quite embarrassed. The bill collector might even call your house daily and you start not answering the phone because you just don’t know how to pay it. Then suppose that someone knew you had that debt and paid it off for you, no strings attached. They did it out of love. Would you appreciate that gift?

 

Well, such a debt is owed by each of us. It is called a “sin debt”. Romans tells us that the payment or wages of that debt is death. In this case it is spiritual death that separates us from God for eternity. The problem is the only way to pay the debt is with sinless blood. Now I can’t say anything about you, but as for myself, I couldn’t qualify to pay the debt.

 

The scriptures tell us in Romans 5:8, “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” This means that Jesus was sent for us in our sinful state knowing we couldn’t pay the debt of sin. In verse 18 it says, “Therefore as by the offence (sin) of one (Adam) judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one (Jesus) the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.” Adam’s sin nature was passed down to every living human being. Because of this someone had to pay that debt with blood, either we do with our blood, or someone else. But the problem is it has to be sinless blood.  Jesus willingly chose to have his innocent blood to be shed to pay for our guilty blood.

 

In II Corinthians 5:21 it says, “For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.” God the Father caused Jesus to become sin to pay for the sins of the world. He paid the price for sin. When we receive Christ as our Savior, our sin debt is paid. All we have to do to receive it is to believe he did it for us and accept the free gift. Once we do that, we are no longer looked upon as unrighteous because we have been made righteous through Jesus Christ.

 

This is the most precious gift that anyone could ever receive. It truly is the great exchange. If you haven’t received this gift, it is not too late to ask God for it now.

PROPHETIC EXHORTATION

 


Oftentimes the only way forward is to lighten the load. Many of you are carrying burdens that God never intended for you to carry. By letting go of them you will find that your life will be a lot easier. Remember Jesus said to give him your burdens. He can't carry them if you don't give them to him

APOSTLE PAT MURRAY

PROPHETIC EXHORTATION


If you remember Naomi never looked at Ruth as her competition; But rather she saw her as a divine connection to her future promised purpose. Today we all need to know that our loving Lord is into connecting some pretty unlikely people for their benefit and for His Glory. You don’t ever want to push key folks away from you simply because they’re a little different than you are; For that can be a good thing. Just stay on high alert as you never know when your God connection might show up. One thing for sure...You don’t want to miss your moment by missing the God connection that He has for your life. Always stay aware of the many counterfeits that are out there; For they can really be good at posing as God connections. You should keep in mind that most of these counterfeits are quite proficient with their charm and their charisma. So don’t fall for their lines; As that’s one chance you don’t ever want to take. So stay alert and to keep your running shoes close by you
