"The Truth Will Set Your Free"

There is a tenth requirement that Jehovah has for those who worship him in spirit and in truth-pure teaching.  (John 4:23, 24) Jesus said to his followers:  "You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."  (John 8:32) The truth of the Bible frees us from God-dishonoring doctrines, such as the immortal soul, hellfire, and purgatory.  (Ecclesiastes 9:5, 6, 10; Ezekiel 18:4, 20) It frees us from the Babylonish mystery of Christendom's  "Most Holy Trinity."  (Deuteronomy 4:35; 6:4; 1 Corinthians  15:27, 28) Obedience to Bible truth results in loving, concerned, kind, merciful people.  True Christianity has never fostered vengeful, intolerant inquisitors, such as Tomas de Torquemada, or hateful warmongers, such as papal promoter of the Crusades.  Yet, Babylon the Great has produced this kind of fruitage down through history, from at least the time of Nimrod until now. -Genesis 10:8, 9.
