Nothing that is worth is very easy and inexpensive. It can be reattained effortlessly. Eternal vigilance is the price to pay for the maintenance of freedom.
In the spiritual world we have been given a freedom almost endless due to the Protestant Reformation that took place in the sixteenth century. For a thousand years immediately preceding the Reformation, Christians do not even have the slightest idea of what freedom means spiritual. For them, the Christian faith was the equivalent of filling endless obligations imposed on them from time to time by the Catholic hierarchy. This establishment, in the true spirit of the Antichrist was a fusion of political and spiritual. No one was free under the empire, unless the owner themselves, not surprising that many of the highest leaders and popes were corrupt an existing incredible.
Freedom we have today was not easy because thousands of men and women had to lay their lives in this struggle to bring spiritual freedom. More zeal than Saul of Tarsus, the zealots of the Roman Catholic Church killed by decapitation, burning at stake or whatever means was available to them. Owning a Bible is a serious offense such as the church burned many copies of the Bible, and punishes owners properly. The cost paid by them was probably more than what the Jews had to pay during the reign of Hitler.
Protestants in this generation have unlimited freedom present, almost without having to pay any price, if this freedom has become probably the cheapest item in the world spiritual. We not only have devalued our freedom, but we also become so contemptuous of what we do not move at all when men rampant in churches this freedom away from us. Probably most people believing that the Bible does not realize that the Roman Catholic church has a special tape very dedicated, motivated, and learned men called the Jesuits who have one ultimate goal: to all institutions under Protestant control of the Pope. The popes of the present generation has suddenly become very nice and caring towards their "separated brethren". This is not an accident, or even a genuine change of heart. Even a superficial reading of their statements on ecumenism show that this is a preparation to the grand finale, the receipt of return of separated brethren under the authority and pastoral pope.
The Bible Society of India seems one of those organizations. It seems to not care about how the Bible is from corporations, they have Roman Catholic priests to become managers of the Bible Society. It is said that local branches of the Society are a legal part of the Company Bible as a whole. If yes, Catholic priests are already members and leaders of the Bible Society of India. The United Bible Societies, which is an international society composed of national Bible Societies consistently scores Roman Catholics involved in many of their projects.
It is strange that we forget the price that the Protestant reformers had to pay to give us spiritual freedom. We are even willing to pay as little as constant monitoring of our institutions, lest they be taken back by Roman Catholics. We must not delude ourselves into believing that the Pope and his goals have changed: None of this, they still have no room for the word of God and salvation by faith. However, they definitely changed their working methods. Protestants are now separated "brothers", which must be addressed using the best methods public-relation to age.
Protestants should not be illusions, believing that their freedom of spirit will not be affected by this change spiritual. If Catholics were so concerned about spiritual freedom, they never tried to capture back the Protestant churches and institutions. Even a cursory look at the history of the church say they are intolerant of anything that is not Roman.
Reformers never tired of urging people to distrust him the spirit of the Antichrist who is working through the Catholic Church Roman. This spirit has never ceased to work through this church, and therefore any union with them is a union with the forces the Antichrist. Is not freedom for Gospel. It is a religio-political, with no room for the Word of God. We must keep our freedom intact at all costs that we may have to pay. Do not forget that once we go back into slavery spiritual there will be no release yet.
