  1. as an american woman of the wild west and early colonial families, i can tell you why the women were armed. It is defensive. they lived in a hostile dangerous land that had enemies about, and they wanted to survive . the women were part of the defense, in the home and possibly outside it. Just like many of us American women were and are still today. "it was probably our ancestors" lol. i wouldn't be surprised. ever the colonist adventurers.

  2. not only that , but once the nurturing adults were killed, the children would fare much worse and maybe die not long after, of pure neglect or lack of breastmilk, etc.

  3. the maggot spear head- might have had maggots pupating on it since it was covered in flesh and blood of the enemy. and sat outside for at least a day before buried ( flies laid eggs on it).

  4. But she said CRUEL poetic justice. She didn't say actual justice.

  5. i would have called on Jesus constantly out loud , by name, for help. not only would it impress the torturers, but i would no doubt get His help to overpower and stop them.

  6. they weren't pretending, they really believed in this method and what they were doing. they really thought it was right, although i see no precedent for this in the words of Christ. Rather He used His power to cast out demons , and His disciples did also. Many christians had come to christ , out of being saved from demon possession or previous practices of witchcraft. But these medieval rulers also of course wrongly diagnosed a lot of the people .

  7. i know exactly what you mean !!!! by experience....

  8. they had town hall meetings and voted, just like New England did here, and we descend from that partially, in our colonial familes and in our colonial government, and now. Tun moot, and hundred moot. much more egalitarian than the norman conquerors, who turned them into an oppressed class.

  9. i suspect that many of these things that " the women said", were not really what they said. But rather it was the torturers and " examiners" who wrote down whatever they thought or wanted to quote them as saying. . As it was not the women writing anything.

  10. yeah, it could have been just a few, not a raging epidemic. families living together would be vulnerable i f one got sick.

  11. that's only because they live in our country, they are far different to christians in thier land.

  12. that's not what it was. they felt it was terrible sins against God , as the Pope said. so being murderous tyrants back then,they did what tyrants do.

  13. ---> And that pales in comparison to what stalin did to ukraine and russia ---> and that pales incomparison to what islamic conquest did to its victims... and still raging in places ( but they are actually following the published commands of thier dear leader who's been dead 1400 years).

  14. this isn't part of actual christianty , fyi. get informed.

  15. why did these jews stick around? shouldn't they leave spain for safer places? it's like staying in nazi germany . a lot of them did leave.

  16. how could they just board them up? what were the families supposed to do with the dead ones ? live with rotting corpses? how would they get any food? how would they tell anyone that they had dead people to bury ? i think a lot of them didn't die of plague but of thirst and starvation. If nobody could go to t he well or get any food !

  17. oh really, prove there are " witch hunters" in the western world. but being descended from a witch doesn't make anyone into one. You must have a brain addled with silly ideas and popular movie FICTIONS.

  18. i think a lot of the people were already very malnourished so they took ill and couldn't recover. Same as today, being malnourished is a risk for any illness.

  19. well, do they really want to dig everyone up like that ?

  20. he was talking to christians about loving one another . Neighbor has a specific context, it 's about helping the poor and injured / disabled among us nearby. Kings and queens must enforce laws and punish wicked evil doers, check the Bible . of course, these methods weren't ok at all. burning people alive , and torture, are not prescribed in christianity. violence isn't how you convert anyone into the true faith. it happens inside a person. i think they punished people for lying in order to gain favor with the government , and being dishonest supposedly.

  21. In christianity, procedure is to repent and confess , stop the behavior, and be forgiven, of things like simple "witchcraft". The bible speaks of those who used to be some sort of witch, who repented and came to christ. That would have been appropriate in allison's ( first Pendle witch) case, and to get the others in her group to also do likewise if they were engaging with evil spirits and enlisting thier services. This isn't done by torture and burning. it's done with prayer and counsel and invoking God's powers against evil spirits, as illustrated in the Gospels and NT. Where the power of Christ overwhelms the powers of evil spirits. But if they enlisted actual demons to kill or harm people wrongfully and admitted it voluntarily without torture, that's wrongful harm to others and would carry a legal penalty in those days. Ironically, Britain was originally won to Christ by spiritual power of God, and many of the 1st christians there had been Druids and pagans practicing all sorts of witchy ungodly things. But some of those Druid priests became Christian priests, before the Roman Catholic church came there. And most converts voluntarily gave up thier evil pagan ways after learning the new Christain faith. Nobody made them at that time. But their profession's past was one of sorceries and witchcraft and pagan association with demons, in many cases. ( just the fact of human sacrifice can give you a hint ).

  22. that''s not what love thy neighbor means, it means take care o f your poor and injured neighbor. It didn't mean, indulge everything that's wrong, and people who are dishonest syncophants pretending at being aChristian. . Not for a Queen or King.. But what the inquisition did was not anywhere in bible instructions. however they were weeding out the liars who faked their way into government and other positions. should have just told them to leave instead of burning them.

  23.  @donfreeman7857  NO, IT DOES NOT. you need to shut up. who the hell do you think you are, blasphemer? ANY religion can be interpreted however people want, OBVIOUSLY.

  24. VERACITY IS TRUTHFULNESS. so he is blaspheming the bible and christianity and christ.  @ardenalexa94

  25. yes maybe some had gifts from God like healing etc. I've actually known idiots saying how some people are " healed by the devil". that sounds like pure blasphemy like the Pharisees accusing Jesus int he bible. That's when Jesus said something about how the devil doesn't work against himself ( devils are the destroyers not the healers).

  26. kings and queens must punish evil doers, but these guys went overboard. they were gruesome.

  27. 9:05 OH, so nobody converts to Christianity BECAUSE THEY BELIEVE IN CHRIST? wow what a disgusting bigoted assumption. That is so insulting. You can tell this jerk hasn't an ounce of faith. Either that or he is admitting that people were FAKE christians, only in it for the money! wow really? that IS a grave sin against God, and living a lie. Nobody like that should be trusted.

  28. how ironic. the paradox is that these jews needed the actual real protection of christ. but they didn't know how to ask Him for it and many might not believe in it. God did not protect them, and they may have never asked Him thru christ who is the gateway to the Father.

  29. you are very ignorant, there are indeed evil spirits and satan is one of those. Yes he is our enemy indeed. i have seen him in spirit and he is REAL and sickening to look at... and utterly unsafe to go near. what s the matter with you, do you really think there are no spirits? better read your bible !  @masada2828

  32. it was a practice as old as the hills, thousands of years old.

  33. that's totally false, it wasn't part of the christian religion. Jesus had completely different methods of ousting evil spirits and converting people away from any real evils. This stuff was GOVERNMENTAL methods, relying on false accusation and false diagnostics, not any actual Christian methods or teahchings of Christ, and that's for sure.  @surfk9836

  34.  @GaryG63  that 's a bald faced lie, Jesus Christ cast out demons, he converted people into the Light, He never tortured any person nor did he teach it. His spiritual power is what He used,to remove evil spirit and give people the Spiritual Light. The first Christians of Britain were voluntary converts out of paganism, and many Druid priests converted to christianity for good reason; recognizing the superior power and goodness that comes from our God ! . It also put a stop to human sacrifice and other ills.

  35. lol water boarding isn't burning or the rack. but yeah, it might be dumb to use anything like a torture if you want to get a truthful confession.  @PeachysMom

  36. ​ @lowkeyliesmith3795  This is rulers and society having their own beliefs, and using wrong methods , NOT Jesus telling people to do this. Jesus does things very differently- he used His supernatural Power to eliminate demons and convert people by Spiritual power He has. This fake witch hysteria wasn't anything from Jesus , this type of laws and methods are FROM THE RULERS OF THE LANDS . quite obviously from the video. The KING wrote the book. The Old Testament scenarios were entirely different situation of evil ruling the land and sacrificing kids to demons, etc and had to be stopped by conquest. It didn't work though since the israelites failed to do as told, and started copying the evils and sacrificing thier kids also, to demons. BECAUSE IT'S INFECTIOUS . Til God made them all stop.

  37. what are you quoting?  @gilesellis8002

  38. all of the Old Testament stuff was to stamp out real actual SYSTEMIC ruling class evils including REQUIRED child sacrifice and real actual demon worship.  @jessicahay9305  not this fake crap of medieval europe. and some of it like Allison the pendle witch, is easily solved by Christ's power as in the New Testament , many individuals had come OUT of paganism and witchcraft by the power of God and by repentance. Jesus Christ has power to eliminate evil spirits and convert people's minds to bright Light instead of spiritual Darkness. That is the norm for Him and authentic christianty. The first Christian converts in Britain were voluntary; formerly pagans, and Druid priests who used to do evil things like human sacrifice, etc. Jesus never commanded his Disciples to go kill people , but rather use His Spiritual Power to convert their minds and eliminate evil spirits , demonstrate His powers of healing He endowed them with, Prophecy, etc.

  39.  @fries-with-lies  This was rulers doing what they believed, it isn't actually part of Christianity. The King wrote that book of demonology, he wasn't a priest or prophet that we know of..

  40.  @kcjd8659  no, in those days and even now, it takes conscientious rulers to make the new laws protecting people against evil notions and violence. Back then " the people" had NO say in anything, and that was NOT what stopped witch trials and burnings. It was a few people in power who made those laws against the witch burning etc.
    1
  41.  @kcjd8659  yes i agree, things were more evil before , and yes it's been slowly changing to enact better laws against wrong things. In fact we can thank God and real true Christianity for this. it's why Jesus came - to save the world from t he evils that were prevalent before and still have some vestiges left but the evil is being over come by good. Where do people think the Spirit of Good and Truth comes from? it comes thru Christ , in God's Holy Spirit among the people. What is Truth? Truth is Love. -- Jesus Christ.

  46. what do you mean, are you a jesuit or something? an Inqusitor? they were so wrong about so many things . for instance, Hebrew customs were not against God or Jesus. Holding Sabbath onthe proper day, that is named after Sabbath ( SABADO), is not wrong but right. Christians used to keep that day, the Sabbath day, 7h day of rest. they had thousands of years of history with God.

  47. if they threw silver coins or anything of real silver in thier wells, it woul d probably make a big diffrence . the water would be impregnated with silver element traces, and that could kill the plague germs when they drank it. or if they used silver goblets to drink wine. Or if they washed with that water. Also if they di d not have rats and fleas . Could have also used herbs like mint in thier tea, and wash water, and other germ killing herbs and concentrated extracts. If they also kept distance between houses, and stayed to themselves.

  48. terrible ! the old customs and laws of moses are totally NOT unchristian at all.

  49. baloney. early christianity never killed any of those but tried to convert them into christians, or invoked God's power against evil entities. Also your judgement is poor, and understanding of language and spirituality is laughable. some "harmless " entities are not really harmless, but deceptive and far more dangerous than they seem. you need a lot more good enlightened knowledge straight from Lord Jesus Christ, i suggest you call on Him for it. With Him,is safety and Light.

  50. Bubble gum machine ruby, like you know a dam thing about it, you clearly know NOTHING AT ALL, and only make idiotic false stupid assumptions based on your lack of knowledge or experience. Others have had the supernatural experiences and MIRACLES WITH CHRIST, who is alive . May the inquisitors get ahold of you.
