The Holy Bible. Johannes Biermanski
with your whole heart, against the impious government of the Pope, you cannot be saved. Whoever takes delight in the religion and worship of popery will be eternally lost in the world to come.
"If you reject it, (popery) you must expect to incur every kind of danger, even to lose your lives, but it is far better to be exposed to such perils in this world than to keep silence!
So long as I live, I will denounce to my brethren the sore and the plague of Babylon for fear that many who are with us should fall back like the rest into the bottomless pit."
from: J.H. Merle d'Aubigné: "History of the Reformation of the 16th Century", vol. 15, p. 208
Martin Luther: "Putting aside all human writings, we should spend all the more and all the more persistent labor on Holy Scriptures alone... Or tell me, if you can, who is the final judge when statements of the fathers contradict themselves? In this event the judgment of Scripture must decide the issue, which cannot be done if we do not give Scripture the first place... so that it is in itself the most certain, most easily understood, most plain, is its own interpreter, approving, judging, and illuminating all the statements of all men...
Therefore nothing except the divine words are to be the first principles for Christians; all human words are conclusions drawn from them and must be brought back to them and approved by them."
from: Ewald M. Plass: "What Luther says", St. Louis: Concordia Publishing House, 1959, pp. 87, 88.
"...each man would be required to give an account of the deed he had done on Earth; and therefore each man hat the right to read the Bible for himself. So was born the individualism that transformed the communal ancient and medieval worlds."
from: John. W. Robbins: "Ecclesiastical Megalomania: The Economic and Political Thought of the Roman Catholic Church", (The Trinity Foundation: 1999) p. 18

Quotes from the Bethel Edition “The Sacred Scriptures” by An Assemblies of YAHWEH, Jacob O. Meyer:
baal – a Semitic word which translates “lord.” The baalom (pl.) were various local idols made of wood, stone, etc. and worshiped by the Canaanites. Israel assimilated many elements of baal worship, causing Yahweh to be highly displeased. Several of the baals are with us today, including Baal-Gad (the Lord God, Yahshua/Joshua 11:17, 12:6, 13:5), Baal-Shalisha (the lord of the trinity, 2 Kings 4:42), and others.
cross – the supposed instrument on which Yahshua the Messiah was put to death. Revered by Christianity and often worn as an amulet, it is nevertheless a symbol of ancient sun worship, or even phallic worship. The Messiah was not put to death on a cross (crux) but on an upright torture stake.
Easter – spring celebration supposedly commemorating the resurrection of the Messiah. Replete with pagan symbology and totally unscriptural and unacceptable.
El or Elohim – A Hebrew word which translates “mighty one” or “mighty ones.” As it depicts a plural unity or collective noun, this term is far superior to the word “God” (meaning a molten image) and is used by the True Worshiper in its place.
halleluYah – Hebrew sentence command which translates “praise ye Yahweh,” found in many passages throughout the Bible, especially the Psalms.
hell – Greek – hades, Hebrew – sheol, bor. A term that traces to the English word “hole.” This is simply equated with the word “grave,” as used in the Bible. Often confused with Gehenna (the lake of fire) due to pagan influence and writers' imaginations.
Jesus' – A Greek-Latin name assumed to be that of the Hebrew Messiah and Savior. Its use is studiously avoided by all followers of “Yahshua,” whose Name means “Yahweh is salvation.”
lord – A common term for “master, ruler.” Its use is equated with that of the Hebrew word “baal” - a pagan, unacceptable word to True Worship and abhorred by Yahweh.
LORD – in the KJV, supposed translation of the Tetragrammaton, the four-letter Hebrew proper noun which is the revealed personal Name of the Heavenly Father, Yahweh, arrived at by transliteration of the Name from the Hebrew. Properly substitute Yahweh when reading.
Sabbath' – Scripturally sanctified seventh day of the week designated by Yahweh as the day of rest when no work may be done. Weekly, it is observed from sundown Friday to sundown Saturday; also refers to one of the seven annual days declared holy by Yahweh.
Yah – The abbreviated form of the Sacred Name, Yahweh.
Yahshua' – The revealed personal Name of the Son of Yahweh, the Savior of mankind.
YAHWEH' – The revealed personal Name of the Heavenly Father and Creator of all.
