Code Red again, Alert.. I told you so.. Difficulty Ahead
CODE RED! Isn’t it a sensational ALERT from media yesterday?
(Next I want to say, “Tune in at 10” or something like that.)
What I will actually point out is that we have heard these sorts of warnings before. BREAKING NEWS – Now seemingly constant.
Four years ago when I originally posted this Scriptural Rerun had different, but just as urgent headlines from distant places. (Check out the NEWS LINKS in the attached post.) OR check out this one you probably haven’t seen while international media promote more politically proper finger pointing to former brokers of power.

AD 306-324 – Civil war between the two halves of the Empire. Constantine won control of both halves and moved the capital from Rome to Byzantium, later renamed: Constantinople.
AD 325 – Constantine played an influential role in the proclamation of the Edict of Milan, which decreed religious tolerance throughout the empire. He called the First Council of Nicaea in 325, at which the Nicene Creed was professed by Christians.
AD 383 – Augustine arrives in Milan. After his conversion takes the position as bishop of Hippo near his native Carthage, N. Africa, in 396, a position which he held until his death in AD 430.
In part 1 we examined the history of the Bible and specifically how it relates to King James and pre-colonial America. Next we will go back to a time when the church divided into various branches.
Take a look at the graphic from the early church to the Reformation and you will see a continual division of the Church.
History 100 Quiz – Answer Key
How did you do on the three question pop-quiz from church history?
Why did the British Empire ban Roger Williams from its colony August 8, 1635 AD?
What does the date of 24 July, 1567 have to do with the Bible?
And in 1525-26, what did William Tyndale do to oppose Papal authority that led to impact the Colonies and all the British Empire?
The answers found within the context of the original post:
Roger Williams was sentenced to banishment by the British colony of Massachusetts for his differing religious views. In exile he founded Rhode Island on principles of freedom of conscience.
Prince James became King of Scotland on 24 July, 1567, at the age of 13 months, after his mother Mary, Queen of Scots was forced to abdicate… When Elizabeth I died childless, James inherited the throne.
William Tyndale’s New Testament, 1525-26, was defiance of protest against Papal authority. It was printed in Germany, where Martin Luther’s New Testament was first printed in 1529. One risked death by burning if caught in mere possession of Tyndale’s forbidden books.
Scriptures
Once again this particular series is NOT scriptural exposition, but focused on the Church itself. Most colonists from England came to America with their King James Bible and many to escape the absolute religious oppression imposed on them by their local church authorities. Others had brought an earlier Tyndale Bible, while German Language Bibles of Luther also crossed the Atlantic.

Food for thought
“Monarchy is the greatest thing on earth. Kings are rightly called gods since just like God they have power of life and death over all their subjects in all things. They are accountable to God only … so it is a crime for anyone to argue about what a king can do.”
King James of England
If people were able to read the Bible in their own tongue, the church’s income and power would crumble.
