@Landlord , ye shall know them by their fruit. The Catholic church is demonic & of Satan by their evil fruit of murdering millions of born again Bible believers & Bible translators throughout history. The bible correctly identifies her in Revelation 17:6 as, “the whore of babylon, drunk with the blood of the saints, and the blood of the marytrs of Jesus.”

On October 6th, 1536, outside the walls of Vilvoorde Castle near Brussels, William Tyndale was chained to a stake. His final words were not of anger but of prayer - “Lord, open the King of England’s eyes.” Moments later, the flames rose, and his body was consumed. Yet the fire that killed him became the light that shattered centuries of darkness.
Tyndale was born in Gloucestershire around 1494. Educated at Oxford and Cambridge, he mastered Greek and Hebrew, but his mission was not academic. He longed for his countrymen to hear God’s Word in their own tongue. The Roman Church had locked the Bible in Latin, reserving its interpretation for priests, keeping the people in ignorance and superstition. They were taught to fear purgatory, buy indulgences, and trust in ritual rather than in Christ.
Tyndale saw through it. He told a Roman priest, “If God spare my life, I will cause a boy that driveth the plough to know more of the Scripture than thou dost.” The Church forbade it because it knew that a people who read God’s Word would no longer bow to man-made power. Rome feared the Bible more than any sword, for it exposes the lies of those who claim authority over the souls of men.
In 1524, Tyndale fled England. He lived in exile, translating the New Testament directly from Greek. In 1526 it was printed, small, portable, and smuggled across the Channel. Bishops burned every copy they could find, but the Word spread faster than the flames. Rome condemned him, not for falsehood but for truth. He taught that salvation is by grace through faith, not through the sacraments or the Church. That truth struck at the very root of Rome’s power.
In 1535, betrayed by Henry Phillips, he was arrested in Antwerp and imprisoned in Vilvoorde Castle. For sixteen months he suffered hunger and cold, yet he kept translating, praying that England might one day see the Word of God unchained. On October 6, 1536, he was strangled and burned for heresy. His crime was giving the Bible to the people.
Three years later, his dying prayer was answered when King Henry VIII authorized the English Bible. The very words Rome tried to bury became the foundation of a nation’s faith.
Tyndale’s death was not defeat but triumph. Rome killed the man, but not the message. They feared the Bible because it exposes that no priest, no pope, and no council stands between man and God. Christ alone saves. The Word alone is truth.
And now, we hold in our hands what he died for, the open Word of God. Yet how many of us read it with the same urgency? How many treasure what once cost a man his life? The fire that consumed Tyndale did not destroy him. It exposed the power of a Word Rome could not control and a gospel she could not silence.
His ashes were scattered, but his work endures. And as long as that Word is read, the empire of superstition will never rise again.
See you in glory, brother
