Murdered by the Church of Rome One of the most difficult pieces of information to find are the names of all the martyrs who were murdered by the Roman Catholic Church down through the ages. These true Christians were murdered because they loved the Scriptures, had portions of a true Bible, and/or an entire Bible. The believers were hunted down and murdered by the blood thirsty men of the Inquisition. Probably no Christian group in history was persecuted more for their beliefs than the Waldensians or the Vaudoix. This article is a tribute and memorial to those who gave their lives in the service of God in the dissemination of the true Scriptures and teaching the truth to many in spite of the Roman Catholic Inquisition and even prior to the official start of the Inquisition that many were murdered. This article is also for those who treasure and defend the modern versions which were based upon the Latin Vulgate of Jerome was the official Roman Catholic Bible. It was these who chose to distribute the true Bible based on the manuscripts which were untouched by the Gnostics and Roman Catholics. Many died trying to bring the true Scriptures to others. The King James Bible and its history are bathed in the blood of the martyr and the modern versions are bathed in those who murdered them. May the Lord open your eyes to the reality of the Bible you treat with contempt based upon what some well-paid seminary professor or pastor states. So the next time you use your modern version, look for the blood stains on its pages. (2 Pet 2:1-3 KJV) But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. {2} And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. {3} And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.

Remember these names and the tortures and the giving of their lives for the true Scriptures which was the lineage of the King James Bible. Remember their names and their sacrifices the next time you turn on EWTN and watch that blasphemous channel. Remember their names and sacrifices when your pastor encourages you to get a modern version. The modern versions are Roman Catholic versions and millions of our brothers and sisters gave their lives for the true Scriptures. It is impossible to know the names of the millions that died at the hand of Rome but these listed names are representative of what they all suffered. Did they suffer and die in vain for your version or are you an extended member of the Roman Catholic Church by means of your NIV, NASV, ESV, HCSB, or other modern version?
