record this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men. 27 For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God. 28 Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood. 29 For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. 30 Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them. 31 Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears. (Acts 20:26-31). Many of the things listed herein are documented statements of theological historians who have spent many years developing these statements and studies of history. For this reason, I humbly and honorably admit to the fact that much of the material belongs to the credit of others and I only share with you my compilation, this that I title “Chronology of the Church Chronicle.” My fervent desire is that the facts presented in this treatise will come to prove a blessing and benefit to all of those students of the scripture who desire a broader and deeper insight of the historicity of the Church. May I mention the fact, that any short recites or referential quotes that are herein included, are given credit to the author at the position in which they are mentioned.
