The "Bank" of Rome Headquarters in Vatican City. It was founded in 45 A.D. by Simon the Sorcerer.

Simony Meets Usury!!

Please do not confuse the "Bank" of Rome with the Church of Rome which was founded by the Apostle PAUL around 60 A.D. "For I long to see you (Roman Christians) that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may be ESTABLISHED" (Romans. 1:11). Established means: a. To set up; FOUND, b. To make firm or secure.

Simony definition: Simony means the buying or selling of ecclesiastical pardons, offices, or emoluments. Named after Simon Magus, a sorcerer who tried to buy spiritual powers from the Apostle Peter (Acts 8:9-24).	Usury definition: From the Latin usuria means demanding in return for a loan a greater amount than was borrowed.

With the Coinage Act of 1965, the U.S. currency was debased even though the penalty for debasing the currency is DEATH.

The Coinage Act of 1792 mandates the DEATH PENALTY for DEBASING the currency!!

" And be it further enacted, That if any of the gold or silver coins which shall be struck or coined at the said mint shall be debased or made worse as to the proportion of the fine gold or fine silver therein contained, or shall be of less weight or value than the same out to be pursuant to the directions of this act, through the default or with the connivance of any of the officers or persons who shall be employed at the said mint, for the purpose of profit or gain, or otherwise with a fraudulent intent, and if any of the said officers or persons shall embezzle any of the metals which shall at any time be committed to their charge for the purpose of being coined, or any of the coins which shall be struck or coined at the said mint, every such officer or person who shall commit any or either of the said offenses, shall be deemed guilty of felony, and shall suffer death" (Section 19).

"In late 1959, National Rejectors of St. Louis, Missouri -- the manufacturer of ninety-seven per cent of the coin acceptance devices in the United States -- received an unannounced visit from several agents of the U.S. Treasury Department officiously flashing their badges and credentials. The company's top inventor-designer was a brilliant New Yorker from Brooklyn by the name of Merrill Jenkins. The officers desired an interview with Mr. Jenkins regarding a subject that was normally kept under tight corporate security.

"What techniques," the government agents asked him, "might a counterfeiter use to deceive state-of-the-art coin acceptance machines?" Believing that he was helping to protect the interests of the United States Treasury and, therewith, the American people, Jenkins revealed over the course of the interview that the counterfeiter who could manufacture a copper slug sandwiched between two faces of nickel would have himself a coin costing between one and two cents (depending upon its size). The mechanical acceptors would then mistakenly read the coin as being made of the silver the machines were designed to receive.

"But don't worry about it," Jenkins assured the officials. "We are talking about a complicated process. Only a very sophisticated syndicate with unlimited resources could turn out these coins in quantity." Little did he realize that he was revealing secrets of national security to that very syndicate, the actual one with its eye on discovering the method of creating unlimited resources. "The counterfeiter the Treasury was pretending to guard against," he later constantly told lecture audiences for the rest of his life, "was the Treasury Department itself." ("MONEY" The Greatest Hoax on Earth).

"But there was a certain man, called Simon, which beforetime in the same city used sorcery, and bewitched the people of Samaria, giving out that himself was some great one: To whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying, This man is the great power of God. And to him they had regard, because that of long time he had bewitched them with sorceries. But when they believed Philip preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women. Then Simon himself believed also: and when he was baptized, he continued with Philip, and wondered, beholding the miracles and signs which were done. Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John: Who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost: (For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.) Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost. And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles’ hands the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money, Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost. But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money. Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right in the sight of God. Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee. For I perceive that thou art in the gall of bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity. Then answered Simon, and said, Pray ye to the LORD for me, that none of these things which ye have spoken come upon me" (Acts 8:9-24).

"As lending upon interest was forbidden by the Gabinian law between provincials and Roman citizens, and the latter at that time had all the money of the globe in their hands, there was a necessity for tempting them with the bait of extravagant interest, to the end that the avaricious might thus lose sight of the danger of losing their money. And as they were men of great power in Rome, who awed the magistrates and overruled the laws, they were emboldened to lend, and to extort great usury. Hence the provinces were successively ravaged by every one who had any credit in Rome: and as each governor, at entering upon his province, published his edict wherein he fixed the rate of interest in what manner he pleased, the legislature played into the hands of avarice, and the latter served the mean purposes of the legislator" (Baron de Montesquieu, The Laws of Nations: )

"Such was his procedure in the reign of Claudius Cæsar, by whom also he is said to have been honoured with a statue, on account of his magical power. This man, then, was glorified by many as if he were a god; and he taught that it was himself who appeared among the Jews as the Son, but descended in Samaria as the Father while he came to other nations in the character of the Holy Spirit. He represented himself, in a word, as being the loftiest of all powers, that is, the Being who is the Father over all, and he allowed himself to be called by whatsoever title men were pleased to address him"(Justin Martyr, The Apostolic Fathers).

"Now this Simon of Samaria, from whom all sorts of heresies derive their origin, formed his sect out of the following materials . . ."(Justin Martyr, The Apostolic Fathers).

"As soon as lending upon interest was forbidden at Rome, they contrived all sort of means to elude the law; and as their allies, and the Latins, were not subject to the civil laws of the Romans, they employed a Latin, or an ally, to lend his name, and personate the creditor. The law, therefore, had only subjected the creditors to a matter of form, and the public were not relieved" (Baron de Montesquieu, The Laws of Nations ).

"He (Constantine) accordingly caused twelve coffins to be set up in this church, like sacred pillars in honor and memory of the apostolic number, in the center of which his own was placed, having six of theirs on either side of it. Thus, as I said, he had provided with prudent foresight an honorable resting-place for his body after death, and, having long before secretly formed this resolution, he now consecrated this church to the apostles, believing that this tribute to their memory would be of no small advantage to his own soul" (Eusebius, Life of Constantine).
