19 year old Marie Durand was imprisoned for 38 Years: Her only crime was her faith in the Bible
03 Jan 2025
Marie Durand was 19 years old when she was imprisoned in the Tower of Constance in France. Her crime was having a brother who was a Protestant minister. She was promised freedom if she denied her faith in the Bible and its teachings. She only had to say one French word – “J’abjure” – “I deny.” But her faith was more import to her than her freedom. She simply desired to live and worship according to her conscience, and the Bible she loved. As you watch this program, you will discover the terrible results of rejecting the Bible and dismissing God’s law. You’ll discover how the promise of liberty, equality and fraternity turned into rule by the guillotine.
📺 *In this Episode:*
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to have no Bible? Nothing but public opinion to guide us - tell us what to do and what not to do. No higher authority than our own ideas, our own self-made religion. Some have said the Bible is just a collection of myths and legends. They think we're better off without it. Would we? Did you know France tried it once – for three and a half years?
At 1:30am, August 24, 1572, a bell began to ring in the Cathedral tower of St. Germain l'Auxerrois. The tolling bell sent a signal throughout the city – death to all Bible-believing Christians. It was one of the most horrifying massacres in European history. Thousands of Bible-believing Christians were slaughtered in the streets of Paris, and their bodies were thrown into the Seine. Up to 70,000 people were massacred. Their only crime? They read, believed and practised what the Bible says. It was during this dangerous time that Marie Durand was born in the small village of Bouschet de Pranles.
The Bible is, perhaps, the most controversial book ever written. Never has a book been so loved by so many. And never has a book been so hated. It has made enemies out of friends. It's divided homes. It's been argued, debated, challenged, and attacked. But millions have died for it! Suffered imprisonment for it, refused to betray it or live without it.
