"On 11 May 1685, Margaret Wilson and Margaret MacLauchlan were drowned in the Solway Firth at Wigtown for attending conventicles and refusing to take the oath against James Renwick's Apologetical Declaration. Growing up, Margaret Wilson (18), and her brother and sister had often had to hide from government troops because they wouldn't go to hear the Episcopal ministers. One day, however, Margaret and her sister Agnes (13) were finally caught. Their father managed to get his younger daughter released, but he couldn’t save Margaret. She was to be drowned with an older woman, Margaret McLaughlin. The soldiers tied them both to wooden stakes in the water. The younger Margaret was tied nearer to the shore so would see the older woman die first and be persuaded to give up her beliefs -- so she wouldn’t die as well. As the older woman was drowning, the soldiers asked the younger Margaret what she thought of her now. Margaret Wilson replied 'I see Christ wrestling there.' Then, just when she herself was about to drown, the soldiers lifted up her head and asked her to pray for the king. She answered 'God save him if He will, for it is His salvation I desire.' However when they asked her take the oath [of loyalty to the head of the church as law required], she said 'I will not, I am one of Christ's children, let me go.' The soldiers then pushed her head down under the water again until she died. Just before she died, Margaret had sung from Psalm 25: "'My sins and faults of youth do thou, O Lord, forget: After thy mercy think on me, and for thy goodness great. God good and upright is: the way he'll sinners show. The meek in judgment He will guide, and make His path to know.' "The two Margarets are just two of many, many people who paid the ultimate price because of their love for the Lord Jesus Christ." --Reformation History |

Interesting story. Showing the divison in the Body of Christ. Young Protestant girl murdered by other Protestants because of differences in scripture interpretation. Two Protestant denominations in direct opposition over their interpretation of scripture to justify one to murder another. Interesting! |

Dear Ed, Amen! Christian history is always messy. In fact, if it is not messy, I rather doubt it has anything to do with our Lord Jesus Christ. Look at the Corinthians! What an utter mess in both doctrine and practice. Nonetheless, Satan meant it for evil, but God meant it for good! Watch, and as per the Apostle John, in real believers you will see the fruit of the Spirit. Not hocus pocus, but right down into their real character. You will see them growing in love with God, growing in love with His word, and growing in love with those who are actually called out of the world into His church. The evidences of the New Creature are unmistakeable. Read the epistles of Peter and the epistles of John and it will be far more clear than the mysticism of hearing voices and seeing visions. God is so marvelous... He doesn't allow us to mistake what He is doing... indeed, the only way to mistake what He is doing is by ignoring what He has said in His Word. In Him, Doc |

I totally agree mysticism of hearing voices and seeing visions is wrong. The Holy Spirit may give us dreams or visions as scripture says Acts 2:17 but what is revealed will ALWAYS be within the boundaries set by scripture. No mysticism involved only God's will. |
