Rev 13:3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.

All the world wondered. The woman that was driven in the wilderness did not include the whole world. She was controlled for a time.

Rome tried to destroy the scriptures because they saw an advantage in keeping the people in ignorance. They were kept from the common people. it became a capital offense to posses a portion of the scriptures. One had to be ordained as a priest to understand the scriptures. This concept of one having to be ordained rose from a fundamental principle. This is the principle of the church. What is the church?

The advantage in this case was temporal and financial. The object was to keep the people in superstition to manipulate their minds to obtain money. And they gained power over their bodies and pocket books. Coercion was used. If you don't obey you will burn in purgatory. You must pay for your sins.

One assumption that led to temporal power was the idea that the church was limited to the priests and the organized structure of whom they approved. The priests began to develop the idea that the church was made up of the structure. The doctrines of the church, the institutions. Etc. they lost the idea that the apostle taught. That the church was made up of the people. The people constituted the church, they supplanted this with an earthly hierarchy that placed man at the head instead of God, and the result was that the whole religion kept the people in submission to human authority.

Matt 23:2-3 [2] Saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat: [3] All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not.

This applies to the roman priest. A legalistic religion will always lead to inconsistency in the life. Asking something that is required from other, but they do not do it.

Matt 23:4-5 [4] For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers. [5] But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments,

The great struggle in the church was a struggle for power and visibility and authority.

Matt 23:10, 12 [10] Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ. [12] And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.

No matter how much were exalted they were debased. The people believed unless they supported the scriptures they would be debased. This view of the church led to every form of vice and corruption in the church. People cannot rise any higher than their leaders in principle. The closer you got to Rome the more vice you saw. If the priests could do it, so can the people.

As people lost sight of the scriptures their eyes were darkened. Once the people accepted images, purgatory, ect. Then they could buy credit for sins. This indulgence has lead to the fall of Rome.

People who wanted to be pure went to monasteries or convents, but when it is corrupt, they left being labeled as heretics.

ED 17 …Every human being…think and to do…

You can plan evaluate and execute. You can reason to cause and effect, you can invent and carry out that invention. Those who have this are leaders in enterprises. They bare responsibility and

influence character

Rome's assumption to spiritual power lead to the loss of personal individuality and freedom. This lead to the loss of the freedom of conscience. You could not live according to your convictions, you must live according to the established principles that were defined by the church. Man was cut down by the church, and man is the church.

Gallio came up with the idea that the earth revolved around the sun, and this was against the established order of things in the church. So because he presented this he was persecuted. He was arraigned before the inquisition. They put so much pressure on him until he said the sun revolves around the earth.

When coercion gains control, people loose the right to think. Under the inquisition new inventions were stifled. What does God say about control in God's church?

TM 342 As a people we should study God's plans for conducting His work. Wherever He has given directions in regard to any point, we should carefully consider how to regard His expressed will. This work should have special attention. It is not wise to choose one man as president of the General Conference. The work of the General Conference has extended, and some things have been made unnecessarily complicated. A want of discernment has been shown. There should be a division of the field, or some other plan should be devised to change the present order of things.

Rome assumed control of the church, and the pope became the supreme ruler from which all authority would come.

TM 477 A strange thing has come into our churches. Men who are placed in positions of

responsibility that they may be wise helpers to their fellow workers have come to suppose that they were set as kings and rulers in the churches, to say to one brother, Do this; to another, Do that; and to another, Be sure to labor in such and such a way. There have been places where the workers have been told that if they did not follow the instruction of these men of responsibility, their pay from the conference would be withheld. It is right for the workers to counsel together as brethren; but that man who endeavors to lead his fellow workers to seek his individual counsel and advice regarding the details of their work, and to learn their duty from him, is in a dangerous position and needs to learn what responsibilities are really comprehended in his office. God has appointed no man to be conscience for his fellowman. It is not wise to lay so much responsibility upon an officer that he will feel that he is forced to become a dictator. For years there has been a growing tendency for men placed in positions of responsibility to lord it over God's heritage, thus removing from church members their keen sense of the need of divine instruction and an appreciation of the privilege to counsel with God regarding their duty."

TM 484 God does not confine Himself to one place or person. He looks down from heaven upon the children of men; He sees their perplexities, and is acquainted with the circumstances of every experience of life. He understands His own work upon the human heart, and needs not that any man should direct the workings of His Spirit.

TM 492 While respecting authority and laboring in accordance with wisely laid plans, every worker is amenable to the Great Teacher for the proper exercise of his God-given judgment and of his right to look to the God of heaven for wisdom and guidance. Laborers who are striving to work in harmony with this instruction are under the leadership and guidance of the Holy Spirit, and need not always, before they make any advance move, first ask permission of someone else. No precise lines are to be laid down. Let the Holy Spirit direct the workers. As they keep looking unto Jesus, the Author and Finisher of their faith, the gifts of grace will increase by wise use.

TM 493 All the works of men are under the Lord's jurisdiction. It will be altogether safe for men to consider that there is knowledge with the Most High. Those who trust in God and His wisdom, and not in their own, are walking in safe paths. They will never feel that they are authorized to muzzle even the ox that treads out the grain; and how offensive it is for men to control the human agent who is in partnership with God, and whom the Lord Jesus has invited: 'Come unto Me, all ye that labor and are heavy-laden, and I will give you rest."

No matter what work God has given us we must have balance. God gives a different work to everyone. Some to tare down and build up. We cannot control other human minds.

TM 494 No man is a proper judge of another man's duty. Man is responsible to God; and as finite, erring men take into their hands the jurisdiction of their fellowmen, as if the Lord commissioned them to lift up and cast down, all heaven is filled with indignation. There are strange principles being established in regard to the control of the minds and works of men, by human judges, as though these finite men were gods. Organizations, institutions, unless kept by the power of God, will work under Satan's dictation to bring men under the control of men; and fraud and guile will bear the semblance of zeal for truth, and for the advancement of the kingdom of God. . . ."

When Rome assumed authority that was not theirs, they place themselves in the place of God. They oppressed their fellow man. the more centralized her power, the more she tried to rule the world. They would use one king against another king to bring them into her authority. The whole empire submitted to her authority.

Through connections with NATO, UN, etc, we are loosing our American sovereignty and un- constitional treaties. Loss of freedoms is a lost of individuality.

Tithe

1 Cor 9:9 For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen?

Paul is speaking of tithe here. Don't stifle the worker, let him eat, let him have what is his.

1 Cor 9:11 For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen?

We give you spiritual food, so we need to be sustained by physical food. Rome used this to get money for the structure.

1 Cor 9:12 For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen?

I did not accept tithe from you Corinthians because there was a problem. Paul was with the greeks, they were thinkers not workers, he came to show the dignity of work. His religion was for the slave

and the free man. if he lived by the ties of the Corinthians the people should say it was a free mans' religion. It was for both.

1 Cor 9:14 For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen?

2 Cor 11:8-9 [8] I robbed other churches, taking wages of them, to do you service. [9] And when I was present with you, and wanted, I was chargeable to no man: for that which was lacking to me the brethren which came from Macedonia supplied: and in all things I have kept myself from being burdensome unto you, and so will I keep myself.

Paul said I accepted wages form the Macedonians, the Philippians. While I was ministering to you Corinth I was receiving tithe from Phillip

Luke 10:7 Laborer is worthy of his hire…

1 Tim 5:17-18 [17] Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine. [18] For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn. And, The labourer [is] worthy of his reward.

He is saying the elders should also be paid by tithes.

Heb 7:5 And verily they that are of the sons of Levi, who receive the office of the priesthood, have a commandment to take tithes of the people according to the law..

If the tithe came to the Levites they were to take it and use it in the service of God.

Summary: Once Rome began to accept tithe she also began to claim the right to control the conscience it all happened at the same time.
