Why America was invented

Did you know the cover up of DIVORCE and ONCE SAVED ALWAY SAVED false doctrines by the church of England and its new Bible called the king james version was key to starting of America?

Here is how the Puritans left Bible apostasy of England...

Henry VIII (28 June 1491 – 28 January 1547) was King of England from 21 April 1509 until his death. Besides his six marriages, Henry VIII is known for his role in the separation of the Church of England from the pope and the Roman Catholic Church.

So that he could divorce his wife.

As a result, he established The Church of England.

The Church of England set out to break away from the Catholic Church and introduce some reforms in a new protestant religion but took the wind of fornication and divorce and remarriage.

MAry bloody, and her husband the sone of the roman emperror V who could not speak a lick of english were sent to rule with oron the apostatizing country

Mary died, trouble on finding new king
Finally king james was placed in office
to defend the position of king over all, once saved always saved and predestination among other sins, had a new Bible made called the KING JAMES Bible in which they were told to make the Bible come more in line with the church of Englands false doctrines.

Word choices that were not INCORRECT, but were VAGUE were inserted so that lawyers could argue their doctrines on predestination, divorce and once saved always saved whcih could not be proved from the geneva hard hiting bible.

King james hard put to defend the kings title position and standing on divorce, could not withstand the arguments of the geneva Bible The Puritans however believed that the newly founded church was in apostasy with the allowing of divorce and remarriage among other things.

They spoke against divorce with their Aikens Bible, a Geneva Bible. This Bible clearly showed God to be ruler over all and divorce to be in error. The Puritans were persecuted, could not find jobs and were driven from england to form America.

the Puritans alwo succesfully held their positions that the law was the quide to life, sot eh king james obscurred all references to the law, lumping the ten commandments and the law of circumcision and sacrifices as all the same law nailed to the cross.

This did not pan out as puritans could still point to scriptures that supported the eternal nature of the law.

One of the factors that set the Puritans apart from other religions at the time, was that they held the Sabbath in true Old Testament fashion; only reading and learning of the scriptures were permitted. When other religions were playing and gambling on the Sabbath, Puritans were at home quietly gaining a better understanding of God.

When a certain situation would come up, the rest of the Christian world had a set, preordained prayer. The Puritans however, were against this.

They believed that spontaneous expressions and love for God defined true religion and could not be expressed in prayer adequately without inclusion of that spontaneous event in the prayer.

The Catholic Church of the time and of the present time still includes ritualization of liturgy in their services. So does the anglican church and church of England.

The Puritans were vehemently against this practice. This belief was most likely due to their everything in moderation conviction.

Puritanism certainly was different from all the other religions at that
time period. They followed every word of God. Throughout all the separatists groups however, there was a similarity, persecution.

When Laud was given the power to visit all the churches poor houses, hospitals and schools in the provinceof Canterbury, he authorized all the Justices of the Peace to arrest all non conformists who met in private, behind closed doors, to carry on conventicles contrary to the law and to hale them before the Ecclesiastical Commission.

This desire to unify all of England under one church, the Church of England, was what set off the migrations of the Puritans. Whom the church was unable to control, had been brought before the council for censure. These lecturers would go before the council and were given a choice between removal to the colonies or censure of their nonconformist teachings.

All in all, the puritans left England not as Separatists from the church, but rather as separatists from its corruptions, “to practice the positive part of church reformation, and propagate the gospel in America.” The persecution from which the Puritans fled was, then, one that was inspired in their opinion, by a party in the church, whose control would soon bring it to the state of “the house which our savior saw built upon the sand.” a flase church that would fall, babylon.

They CAME OUT OF BABYLON to a new country as revelation eplained, that the WOMAN, the true church was taken to the wilderness away from the beast persecuting her. They saw, as it truly is, the state of AMERICA as being the wilderness refuge

Rev 12:6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there

And so america started becdoming a religious country, as a colony of England with religion as the basis for most early settlers.

But revelation doesnt stop there

the church flees to america

but revelation says the beast follows her to america

and all those still keeping the commandments, not allowing divorce and certainly keeping faithful in marriage would be declared war on

fidelity in marriage is a big deal
why do you think the crazy war on morals hollywood is doing now?
anyone who is Biblical is seen as HATEFUL
it is the enemy, you have to accept his perversions or be persecuted and shamed...

dicorce is a very big deal to God

Rev 2:22 Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds.
Rev 2:23 And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works.

Rev 7:9 After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;
Rev 7:10 And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.
Rev 7:11 And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God,
Rev 7:12 Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen.
Rev 7:13 And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they?
Rev 7:14 And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
Rev 7:15 Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them.

Rev 12:17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
Rev 13:1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.

and he is coming to america to get the woman

Rev 13:5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.
Rev 13:6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
Rev 13:7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
Rev 13:8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
Rev 13:9 If any man have an ear, let him hear.

to get the woman this time, the beast has to take over the world
force his false religion of lawlessness on the world

and make it illegal to worship the way you want to

and the Bible says he will have power over the whole world and power over every law

Rev 13:11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.
Rev 13:12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
Rev 13:13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
Rev 13:14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
Rev 13:15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
Rev 13:16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
Rev 13:17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
Rev 13:18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.
Rev 14:1 And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads.

the beast invents the RFID so you have to worship him to buy and sell

but 144,000 will STILL keep the commandments..

and then the earthquake.
war over.

Agricola · Jul 28, 2014

If you look hard enough you could find other events in history which could be made to fit Revelation. America is not in prophecy, but it seems that for many Americans this is unthinkable, so we have America being made central to prophecy and replacment theology transfering everything that used to belong to Jews to Christians and more importantly the USA. It seems to me that America thinks it has the monopoly on Christianity, but they do not. In 100 years time USA could just be a minor bankrupt nation relying on China and Russia for aid supplies to feed its population.

Absolute nonsense the whole lot of this, where did you get this doctrin from ??

Henry VIII (28 June 1491 – 28 January 1547) was King of England from 21 April 1509 until his death. He was Lord, and later assumed the Kingship, of Ireland, and continued the nominal claim by English monarchs to the Kingdom of France. Henry was the second monarch of the Tudor dynasty, succeeding his father, Henry VII.
Besides his six marriages, Henry VIII is known for his role in the separation of the Church of England from the pope and the Roman Catholic Church. His struggles with Rome led to the separation of the Church of England from papal authority, the Dissolution of the Monasteries, and his own establishment as the Supreme Head of the Church of England. Yet he remained a believer in core Catholic theological teachings, even after his excommunication from the Roman Catholic Church.[SUP][1][/SUP] Henry oversaw the legal union of England and Wales with the Laws in Wales Acts 1535 and 1542. He is also well known for a long personal rivalry with both Francis I of France and the Habsburg monarch Emperor Charles V of the Holy Roman Empire (King Charles I of Spain), his contemporaries with whom he frequently warred.
Domestically, he is known for his radical changes to the English Constitution, ushering in the theory of the divine right of kings to England. Besides asserting supremacy over the Church of England in its break from Rome in initiating the English Reformation, he also greatly expanded royal power. Charges of treason and heresy were commonly used to quash dissent, those accused were often executed without a formal trial, by means of bills of attainder instead. He achieved much of his political aims through the work of his chief ministers, many of whom were banished or executed when they fell out of his favour.

Annulment is a legal procedure for declaring a marriage null and void.[SUP][1][/SUP] Unlike divorce, it is usually retroactive, meaning that an annulled marriage is considered to be invalid from the beginning almost as if it had never taken place (though some jurisdictions provide that the marriage is only void from the date of the annulment). For example, this is the case in section 12 of the Matrimonial Causes Act 1973 in England and Wales.
In legal terminology, an annulment makes a voidable marriage null. If a marriage is void ab initio, then it is automatically null, although a declaration of nullity is required to establish this. The process of obtaining a declaration of nullity is similar to an annulment process. Despite its retroactive nature, children born before an annulment are considered legitimate in many countries.
Annulments are closely associated with the Catholic Church, which does not permit divorce, teaching that marriage is a lifelong commitment which cannot be dissolved through divorce, but can be annulled if invalidly entered into.

Before Henry VIII married Catherine of Aragon he received a Papal Bull from the Pope agreeing that Henry could marry his dead brother’s (Prince Arthur) wife. When Henry and Catherine married in June 1509 both were Roman Catholics. Everybody in England was – the penalty for heresy (being found guilty of being a non-believer) was death. Though Henry is portrayed as a powerful king who dominated his land, such was the tie to Rome and the Roman Catholic faith, that he felt it necessary to effectively get Papal permission to marry Catherine. In 1509 it would have been inconceivable that anyone would think that a break would occur with Rome and the power of the Papacy. However, within 25 years this is exactly what happened.

No one is sure when Henry decided that his marriage to Catherine had to end simply because the evidence does not exist that can pinpoint an exact date. There were rumours in court of Henry wanting a divorce as early as 1520 but this was probably nothing more than mere court gossip based on no fundamental facts. Physicians, either in 1524 or 1525, told Henry that Catherine was unlikely to give birth again – so these dates may be correct. By 1527, he had become infatuated with Anne Boleyn – so this year may be when he decided that a divorce was needed. The truth is that historians simply do not know. What can be stated is that when Henry decided that his marriage to Catherine should end, he was not a man who was willing to change his mind.

However, the beliefs within the Catholic Church were clear and simple. Only the Pope could annul a marriage and as the Church believed in the sanctity of marriage and family, this was a reasonably rare occurrence. In many senses, royal families in Western Europe were expected to set the standards that others should follow. Therefore, Henry’s belief that he should have a divorce simply because as king of England and Wales he wanted one was not shared by the Papacy.

Henry used his knowledge of the Bible to justify his request for a marriage annulment. Henry use the Old Testament (Leviticus Chapter 20 Verse 16) where it stated:

“If a man shall take his brother’s wife, it is an impurity; he hath uncovered his brother’s nakedness; they shall be childless.”

Henry argued that his marriage to Catherine had been against God’s law from the start despite the Pope’s blessing for it to go ahead in 1509. He was therefore living in sin and that the Pope had to annul his marriage so that he could rectify this. As ‘Defender of the Faith’ – a title bestowed on Henry for his 1521 attack on the work of Martin Luther – Henry believed that such an annulment was almost a foregone conclusion. Whether Henry actually believed this is open to question especially as he was simply lusting after Anne Boleyn at the time, which clearly was not a sin in his mind despite his marriage. Henry gave a masterful speech to the country’s nobles at Bridewell, London, in November 1528, explaining that Catherine was noble and virtuous and that in other circumstances he would marry he again. But because of what had happened he lived in “detestable and abominable adultery”. Edward Hall, who wrote about the speech, stated that it was made with great passion. However, Henry also knew how to address an audience so to what extent this was ‘acting’ will never be known.

There is little doubt that Cardinal Wolsey gave Henry assurances that an annulment was simply a matter of course. Wolsey, as a Cardinal, had also been appointed ‘legatus a legere’ by the Pope – which made him the most powerful religious figure actually based in England. It is conveniently easy to imagine the scene of Wolsey convincing Henry that as he had contacts in Rome, what the king wanted would be easy to attain. Wolsey, of course, was willing to do anything to satisfy his master and he decided to use the argument that the original Papal Bull that sanctioned the 1509 marriage was invalid and that the marriage, to save an innocent King from eternal damnation, should be annulled to allow him to marry ‘properly’. Wolsey was certain that the Pope would annul the marriage as he was in a vulnerable position and needed the support of every Christian monarch – especially as the advance of the Muslim Turks in the Mediterranean was unpredictable and highly threatening. Both Henry and Wolsey must have assumed that their ‘campaign’ for an annulment would be a simple and short affair.

Neither got what they expected. There was no quick fix and the most immediate result of this was the end of the influence of Cardinal Wolsey who was ordered to leave London and live in much lesser circumstances in York (where he was the archbishop). The approach in Rome was to give the matter a great deal of theological thought, which explained the delay. The key was dissecting what Leviticus had actually written. The argument was that you should not marry your brother’s wife while he was still alive. As Arthur was dead, this was not an issue and certainly did not condemn Henry to eternal damnation by going against the will of God. Henry refused to accept this, as he believed that his interpretation was correct. He dragooned a large number of expert theologians to write essays that supported his view and they were well rewarded for doing so. The result of this was a series of essays written in Rome to support the Papacy’s viewpoint. However, there were those in England who supported the Pope’s viewpoint. One was the Bishop of Rochester, Bishop Fisher, who wrote seven books in support of Catherine and became her main defender in England.

As time moved on, both sides faced an obvious but challenging issue. If either side backed down, the loss of face would be immense. What had started as a king lusting after a young lady had now turned into a major issue with neither side being able to back down.

There you have the facts mooooooo

On Sunday 14th November 1501 the wedding of Prince Arthur, Henry VII's eldest son, and Princess Catherine of Aragon was celebrated splendidly in old St Paul's Cathedral. Stands had been erected in the nave for the most important guests; and for the marriage itself there was a timber platform twelve feet wide and four feet high with steps on every side and covered with red baize. This was, a chronicler declared, 'like unto the haut-place of the christening of the King's children,' and it stood against the consistory court over the north portion of the cloisters adjacent to the choir and north transept so that the King and Queen could privately go there through a door made for the occasion 'to hear and see the ceremonies of the marriage at their pleasure.'

The Princess was received at the Galilee porch at the west end by a fanfare of trumpeters and processed down the long nave between the great Norman pillars hung with tapestry to be married to the waiting Prince by the Archbishop of Canterbury assisted by the Spanish Legate and nineteen bishops and mitred abbots. After this they went from the platform through the rood screen and along the choir with its tall windows to the square east end for high mass at the altar. Then, after Arthur had separately left by the west door to go to the Bishop of London's palace at the north side of the cathedral to make ready to receive his bride, 'as the custom of England is,' the young Prince Henry led her for a banquet there; where a conduit 'pompously devised to run diverse sorts of good wine' began to spout as did several others in the capital that day, and dancing and jousting, archery and play-acting and other amusements were organised during the next ten days.
The marriage of these fifteen-year-olds was a diplomatic triumph for Henry VII. He had united the house of Tudor with an old and powerful European dynasty which could promote peace and security for his kingdom. But it was to be short-lived and became the occasion of a different, momentous historical development. Five months after the marriage, Arthur died, and by April 1509 Henry VII too was dead. Prince Henry became Henry VIII and a month later fulfilled his father's dying wish by marrying Catherine. This wedding took place quietly in the chapel of the Franciscan Observants at Greenwich. This time the elaborate ceremony in the Cathedral was to be their coronation on Midsummer Day.
Of Catherine's many children, the only one to live was Mary, born in 1516, and by 1525 her childbearing days were over. Henry wanted a male heir and to marry Anne Boleyn. His marriage to his brother's widow was contrary to canon law. It had been allowed by a papal dispensation, but this very sort of marriage was forbidden by the book of Leviticus. Henry believed that his marriage had failed because it was unlawful. Papal refusal to recognise this and grant his divorce from Catherine initiated his ecclesiastical revolution spread over seven years, for which the royal wedding in 1501 was the seed-plot.

Leviticus 20:21 21If there is a man who takes his brother's wife, it is abhorrent; he has uncovered his brother's nakedness. They will be childless., it is my believe that the loss of all Henry the VII1 children persecuted him because of this scripture............

The explicit Protestant theology of The Pilgrim's Progress made it much more popular than its predecessors.
Bunyan's plain style breathes life into the abstractions of the anthropomorphized temptations and abstractions that Christian encounters and with whom he converses on his course to Heaven. Samuel Johnson said that "this is the great merit of the book, that the most cultivated man cannot find anything to praise more highly, and the child knows nothing more amusing." Three years after its publication (1681), it was reprinted in colonial America, and was widely read in the Puritan colonies.

The Pilgrim's Progress from This World to That Which Is to Come; Delivered under the Similitude of a Dream is a Christian allegory written by John Bunyan and published in February, 1678. It is regarded as one of the most significant works of religious English literature,[SUP][1][/SUP][SUP][2][/SUP][SUP][3][/SUP][SUP][4][/SUP] has been translated into more than 200 languages, and has never been out of print.[SUP][5][/SUP][SUP][6][/SUP] Bunyan began his work while in the Bedfordshire county gaol for violations of theConventicle Act, which prohibited the holding of religious services outside the auspices of the established Church of England. Early Bunyan scholars like John Brown believed The Pilgrim's Progress was begun in Bunyan's second, shorter imprisonment for six months in 1675,[SUP][7][/SUP] but more recent scholars like Roger Sharrock believe that it was begun during Bunyan's initial, more lengthy imprisonment from 1660–72 right after he had written his spiritual autobiography,Grace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners.[SUP][8][/SUP]

Plot[edit]
First Part[edit]

Christian, an everyman character, is the protagonist of the allegory, which centres itself in his journey from his hometown, the "City of Destruction" ("this world"), to the "Celestial City" ("that which is to come": Heaven) atop Mt. Zion. Christian is weighed down by a great burden, the knowledge of his sin, which he believed came from his reading "the book in his hand" (the Bible). This burden, which would cause him to sink into Hell, is so unbearable that Christian must seek deliverance. He meets Evangelist as he is walking out in the fields, who directs him to the "Wicket Gate" for deliverance. Since Christian cannot see the "Wicket Gate" in the distance, Evangelist directs him to go to a "shining light," which Christian thinks he sees.[SUP][10][/SUP] Christian leaves his home, his wife, and children to save himself: he cannot persuade them to accompany him. Obstinate and Pliable go after Christian to bring him back, but Christian refuses. Obstinate returns disgusted, but Pliable is persuaded to go with Christian, hoping to take advantage of the paradise that Christian claims lies at the end of his journey. Pliable's journey with Christian is cut short when the two of them fall into the Slough of Despond, a boggy swamp where pilgrim's doubts, fears, shames, and sins are used to sink them into the mud of the swamp. It is there that Pliable abandons Christian after getting himself out. After struggling to the other side of the bog, Christian is pulled out by Help, who has heard his cries.
On his way to the Wicket Gate, Christian is diverted by Mr. Worldly Wiseman into seeking deliverance from his burden through the Law, supposedly with the help of a Mr. Legality and his son Civility in the village of Morality, rather than through Christ, allegorically by way of the Wicket Gate. Evangelist meets the wayward Christian as he stops before Mount Sinai on the way to Legality's home. It hangs over the road and threatens to crush any who would pass it. Evangelist shows Christian that he had sinned by turning out of his way, but he assures him that he will be welcomed at the Wicket Gate if he should turn around and go there, which Christian does.
At the Wicket Gate begins the "straight and narrow" King's Highway, and Christian is directed onto it by the gatekeeper Goodwill who tells him about the heavenly path on which he must travel. In the Second Part, Good Will is shown to be Jesushimself.[SUP][11][/SUP] To Christian's query about relief from his burden, Good Will directs him forward to "the place of deliverance."[SUP][8][/SUP][SUP][12][/SUP]
Christian makes his way from there to the House of the Interpreter, where he is shown pictures and tableaux that portray or dramatize aspects of the Christian faith and life. Roger Sharrock denotes them "emblems".[SUP][8][/SUP][SUP][13][/SUP]
From the House of the Interpreter, Christian finally reaches the "place of deliverance" (allegorically, the cross of Calvaryand the open sepulchre of Christ), where the "straps" that bound Christian's burden to him break, and it rolls away into the open sepulchre. This event happens relatively early in the narrative: the immediate need of Christian at the beginning of the story being quickly remedied. After Christian is relieved of his burden, he is greeted by three angels, who give him the greeting of peace, new garments, and a scroll as a passport into the Celestial City — these are allegorical figures indicative of Christian Baptism.
Atop the Hill of Difficulty, Christian makes his first stop for the night at the House Beautiful, which is an allegory of the local Christian congregation. Christian spends three days here, and leaves clothed with armor (Eph. 6:11–18),[SUP][14][/SUP] which stands him in good stead in his battle against Apollyon, (the lord and god of the City of Destruction) in the Valley of Humiliation. This battle lasts "over half a day" until Christian manages to wound Apollyon with his two-edged sword (a reference to the Bible, Heb. 4:12).[SUP][15][/SUP] "And with that Apollyon spread his dragon wings and sped away."

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. (Psalm 23:4.)As night falls Christian enters the fearful Valley of the Shadow of Death. When he is in the middle of the valley amidst the gloom, terror and demons, he hears the words of the Twenty-third Psalm, spoken possibly by his friend Faithful:
As he leaves this valley the sun rises on a new day.
Just outside the Valley of the Shadow of Death he meets Faithful, also a former resident of the City of Destruction, who accompanies him to Vanity Fair, where both are arrested and detained because of their disdain for the wares and business of the fair. Faithful is put on trial, and executed as a martyr. Hopeful, a resident of Vanity, takes Faithful's place to be Christian's companion for the rest of the way.
Along a rough stretch of road, Christian and Hopeful leave the highway to travel on the easier By-Path Meadow, where a rainstorm forces them to spend the night. In the morning they are captured by Giant Despair, who is known for his savage cruelty and his wife Diffidence and takes them to his Doubting Castle, where they are imprisoned, beaten and starved. The Giant wants them to commit suicide, but they endure the ordeal until Christian realizes that a key he has, called Promise, will open all the doors and gates of Doubting Castle. Using the key and the Giant's weakness to sunlight, they escape.
The Delectable Mountains form the next stage of Christian and Hopeful's journey, where the shepherds show them some of the wonders of the place also known as "Immanuel's Land". As at the House of the Interpreter pilgrims are shown sights that strengthen their faith and warn them against sinning. On Mount Clear they are able to see the Celestial City through the shepherd's "perspective glass", which serves as a telescope. This device is given to Mercy in the second part at her request.
On the way, Christian and Hopeful meet a lad named Ignorance, who believes that he will be allowed into the Celestial City through his own good deeds rather than as a gift of God's grace. Christian and Hopeful meet up with him twice and try to persuade him to journey to the Celestial City in the right way. Ignorance persists in his own way that leads to his being cast into Hell. After getting over the River of Death on the ferry boat of Vain Hope without overcoming the hazards of wading across it, Ignorance appears before the gates of Celestial City without a passport, which he would have acquired had he gone into the King's Highway through the Wicket Gate. The Lord of the Celestial City orders shining ones to take Ignorance to one of the byways to Hell and throw him in.
Christian and Hopeful make it through the dangerous Enchanted Ground into the Land of Beulah, where they ready themselves to cross the River of Death on foot to Mount Zion and the Celestial City. Christian has a rough time of it, but Hopeful helps him over; and they are welcomed into the Celestial City.

This was the american religion in early America, and the basis of the Bible.
Salvation and good works
by the gift
of the blood of Jesus only
Forgiveness by the Blood of Jesus
and
the christian walk
Sanctification by the Blood of Jesus

Christians are finally saved when they die
if they remain faithful

Deuteronomy 25:5 Widowhood and Marriage
5"When brothers live together and one of them dies and has no son, the wife of the deceased shall not be married outside the family to a strange man. Her husband's brother shall go in to her and take her to himself as wife and perform the duty of a husband's brother to her.

Sup yo this scripture above should surely make this scripture below mean when the brother is a live ?

Leviticus 20:21 21If there is a man who takes his brother's wife, it is abhorrent; he has uncovered his brother's nakedness. They will be childless.,

So herries the VIII argument that his marriage is void because he married his brothers wife surley must be void unless this law is not of God but then now we go into the law being given from God again so there for then this is one law you must concern for your self. but i suppose if two brothers love each other then the lord is saying its in your hands if you both love each other. maybe henry loved her who knows but the fact that the church of england have faults is no diffrent to any other church..............

The United States was not founded by Puritans. It was founded by capitalists in Virginia. Northern history always tries to put the focus on the first settlers of New England, but the reality is that the US began in Virgina.

I think you missed the boat on this one to some extent bro........!

The Anglican Church is more aligned with the Roman Catholic Church when it comes to doctrine and instead of the Pope leading them it is currently the QUEEN of ENGLAND who is the head of the ANGLICAN CHURCH.....SO..............

Agricola said:

If you look hard enough you could find other events in history which could be made to fit Revelation. America is not in prophecy, but it seems that for many Americans this is unthinkable, so we have America being made central to prophecy and replacment theology transfering everything that used to belong to Jews to Christians and more importantly the USA. It seems to me that America thinks it has the monopoly on Christianity, but they do not. In 100 years time USA could just be a minor bankrupt nation relying on China and Russia for aid supplies to feed its population.

But if it weren't for America you would be speaking German.

Ummm... James the VI of Scotland became James I of England after the death of Queen Elizabeth, not Queen Mary.

America was the only nation with religious freedom and controlled by the people.

Angela53510 · Jul 28, 2014

Actually, Canada has wonderful freedom of religion, and always has! We are a parliamentary democracy like many other countries, such as England, and our government is controlled by a Parliament answerable to the people.

I don't know where you get this nonsense about America being in Bible prophecy.

The rest of the world is insulted!!
