THE EARLY CATHOLIC CHURCH TAKES CONTROL OF CHRISTIANITY
VERN BENDER
THE TERM CHRISTIAN IS FOUND FOR THE FIRST TIME, IN THE BOOK OF ACTS.
It originated in Antioch, about a decade after Jesus rose from the dead.
Christianity had started with the descent of the Holy Ghost on the day of Pentecost. On that day, the Apostles were instructed to make disciples of the people in all nations.
Saul is converted, shortly after that.
THERE WERE 3 EARLY CHRISTIAN MOVEMENTS:
The Nazarene Jewish Christians.
The Pauline Christians.
The Gnostic Christians.
In 49 AD, the council of Jerusalem is held. It decreed that Gentiles could become Christians.
After the Jewish temple is destroyed by the Romans, the Council of Jamnia is held in 90 AD.
It rules that Jewish Christians can no longer be considered Jews.
In 313 AD,Constantine’s “Edict of Milan” orders that Christianity is now the official religion of the Roman Empire.
In 325 AD, the Council of Nicea establishes the Nicene Creed, and the divinity of Jesus.
Rome is sacked in 455 AD. The Empire fell in 476 AD. The fall of the Roman Empire, started the Dark Ages.
THE CATHOLIC CHURCH
CATHOLICISM’S CLAIM IS THAT JESUS BESTOWED ON THE APOSTLE PETER THE TITLE OF “THE VICAR OF CHRIST.“
THE CATHOLIC CHURCH STAKED THEIR CLAIM ON CHRISTIANITY DECADES AFTER JESUS ROSE FROM THE DEAD,WITHOUT WRITTEN PROOF OF ENTITLEMENT.
AS FIRST MOVER, HOWEVER, THE NAME WAS THEIRS TO KEEP.
THEY EXCLUSIVELY OWNED THE CHRISTIAN FRANCHISE FOR 1,500 YEARS, UNTIL MARTIN LUTHER SHOWED UP.
The word “Catholic” came some 50 years after Pentecost..
The first Christians became the first Catholics, for the most part.
Christianity’s appeal was based on: A promise of eternal life. A strong ethical code. A message of peace. An offer of salvation to all believers.
Christianity spread throughout the Roman Empire despite persecution due to conflicts with pagan religions which were backed by various governments.
After the fall of the Roman Empire in 476 AD, the Catholic Church became a powerful social and political institution, and its influence spread throughout Europe.
THE REALITY OF HOW LIFE FORMS CAME ABOUT ON THIS REMOTE BLUE MARBLE IS THIS: THE EVENT ORIGINATOR WROTE THE CODE, PRODUCED THE BLUEPRINT, AND USED AN EVOLVEMENT PROCESS TO OBTAIN THE REQUISITE RESULT.

IT’S ALL ABOUT THE CODE THAT YOU START WITH.
THE DESIGNER/CREATOR’S PROCESS : (recap).
1ST: Write the code, for the upcoming big bang that will create another universe. (One universe does not an infinity make.)
2nd: Write the code for the design and descent for all intended results as the event unfolds. ( One event does not an eternity make).
3rd: Set the event in motion. All things are triune, with binary interactives.
4th: Monitor, fine-tune, adjust, and select out on-going.
5th: Use DESIGN AND DECENT as the process. Write a separately coded blueprint for the consciousness of the known thought reposers.
6th: It’s not the people, it’s the event.
7th: Harvesting new crops of known thought reposers was the intended result.
ONE UNIVERSE DOES NOT AN INFINITY MAKE.
ONE EVENT DOES NOT AN ETERNITY MAKE.
EVOLUTION IS ONLY PART OF THE PROCESS.*
ALL THINGS ARE TRIUNE, WITH BINARY INTERACTIVES.
BEYOND GOOD AND EVIL IS ONLY GOOD.
ITS NOT THE PEOPLE, ITS THE EVENT.
GET BACK TO WHERE YOU ONCE BELONGED.
IN THE END, CHOICES ARE NEVER FREE.
WHAT TO DO, IS UP TO YOU.
GETTING BEYOND EVIL IS A START.
DNA is a codebook that issues instructions. DNA is the governing force that issues instructions to specificproteins at specific times, in specific amounts.
The gene blueprint regulates gene activity. DNA issues instruction three at a time. DNA is an information structure. It maintains gene production and regulation to deliver the correct gene functions. Genes are networked in a complex sequenced network. The gene network self schedules and delivers the required results.
Information is physical and it represents the ultimate nature of reality. These surprisingly simple assertions have many deep consequences. Information theory is the wellspring of our contemporary digital world. The universe is an information network. Life is an informational structure. Quantum gravity interacts with the universe’s knowledge base. This knowledge base stores the human consciousness bits. Growing and storing the knowledge bytes from the known thought reposer’s production is the reason that this current universe exists. The universe’s information structure built the universe. The information structure then operates this universe. When the universe matures, the consciousness bytes that had been generated by the known thought reposers are saved. They will be used again, in the next universe.
The triune combined functions of consciousness, quantum gravity, and quantum entanglement act as one from the underside of the fabric of space-time.
THE UNIVERSE GENERATES AND STORES ALL OF THE BITS OF CONSCIOUSNESS. IT’S ALL ABOUT THE BYTES.
Evolution #2: “Common Descent” or “Universal Common Descent”
Many biologists today also commonly use the term evolution to refer to the idea that all organisms are related by common ancestry. This idea is also known as the theory of universal common descent. This theory affirms that all known living organisms are descend
