This section will take you from the Fall of the Roman Empire to the Reformation. Showing details of the Crusades, the 5th-8th Ecumenical Councils, and the Great Schism in the Church between East and West.
As we look back at the beginning with the Apostles and Church Fathers in the first few centuries after Christ, they faced great persecution and extreme executions to pursue their God, their Savior, and to spread His message. We can see how that once great humble pursuit evolved into a very powerful domineering organization we called the Church.
The reformers staked their life and lost their lives in pursuit of true righteousness through Christ alone, that message once preached by the Apostles themselves. As we look at the reformed (protestant) churches today start to portray that very thing they once fought against, money and lavish power, perhaps a new reformation might be due.
One thing is certain, when Christ returns the churches will be purged and the true Church will emerge to truly worship the King of kings and Lord of lords as He intended, for all of eternity. Our pursuit now is to follow Him and His Word as complete as possible, and to lose this life for the one to come, True Salvation!
