SIMON MAGUS SERIES - More About SIMON MAGUS - Ernest L Martin - March 1964

What were the origins of Catholic-Babylonian Christianity? What was Simon's religion before he met Peter? Where did that religion originate? Read in this article - beginning a new series - the detailed and documented account of Simon Magus and his great COUNTERFEIT CHRISTIANITY! THE FALSE religious system began very early - almost with Pentecost in 31 A.D. Even in the earliest of Paul's epistles, he informs us that "the mystery of iniquity DOTH ALREADY WORK" (II Thess. 2:7). Paul wrote this in 50 or 51 A.D. The plot to supplant the Truth had already begun. In the later epistles of Paul and in those of the other Apostles, we find it gaining considerable momentum. However, even though the Apostles discuss the diabolical system which was arising, THEY NOWHERE MENTION HOW IT STARTED. They had no need in mentioning its beginning - that had already been done! - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
