The Lord’s Church Through the Ages Part 3 The Medieval Period

The Lord’s Church Through the Ages Where Are We?

Why This Study? A study of history is profitable for learning valuable lessons (1 Corinthians 10:11-12) A study of the Medieval Period will show the development of the Catholic Papal power over religion (Apostate Church) and politics (state). The formation of many Catholic practices and doctrines developed during this time still exist today.

Threats From Without: Islam The Prophet Mohammed The Five Articles and Five Pillars The Koran The Jihad (Quran 2: , 216, 244; 4:74,77,84; 99:5,29; 22:78; 47:4-5; 49:15)

Threats From Within: Catholicism Papal System Monastic Orders Corruption of Power The Great Schism The Crusades The Inquisition

Catholicism Opposed Seeds of discontent: oppression and corruption Opponents: Albigenses, Waldenses The Scholastics: Berengar, Anselm, Abelard, Lombard, Aquinas

Lessons Learned Apostasy often re-cycles and grows worse (2 Tim. 2:16; 3:13)

Lessons Learned The spirit of New Testament Christianity can be lost… True prophecy (Jn. 3:31-36) was replaced with false prophecy (Islam) Following Christ (Mt. 17:5) was replaced with following men (the Papacy) Influence (Mt. 5:13-15; Jn. 17:15-17; Phil. 2:15) was replaced by false piety and withdrawal (Monastic orders)

Lessons Learned The spirit of New Testament Christianity can be lost… Purity (1 Tim. 4:12) was replaced with immorality (the corrupt Papacy) Unity (Amos 3:3; Jn. 17:20-21) was replaced with division (the Great Schism). A HOUSE NOT BUILT BY THE LORD WILL FALL (Psa. 127:1; Mt. 12:25) Peace (Isa. 2:2-4; Mt. 26:52; Jn. 18:33,36; 2 Cor. 10:4-5; Eph. 6:10ff) was replaced with war (the Crusades) Love (Jn. 13:35) was replaced with brutality and coercion (the Inquisition)

Lessons Learned Faithful opposition This takes courage and conviction (Jude 3) This take a desire to study God’s word for your self (Col. 2:8,16,18; 2 Tim. 2:15; 2 Pet. 3:16-18)

The Lord’s Church Through the Ages In times of oppression, corruption, and darkness, walk as children of light (Eph. 5:7) Let us be the faithful remnant of the Lord’s church today (1 K. 19:18; Rev. 3:4)
