Who Was Jan Hus and Why Was His Death So Important - Kingdom Come Deliverance History

c. 1370 - 6.7.1415
Jan (John) Hus was a priest and thinker and one of the most important Czech religious reformers and preachers. His works, inspired by the theological writings of John Wycliffe, played a key role in underpinning the essence of the Reformation.
As of 1398' he worked and disseminated his teachings at Prague University, but as early as 1403 German professors there labelled him a heretic. Six years later, up to twenty thousand doctors, masters and students were forced to leave Prague University as a result of theological disputes.From 1402, Hus preached at the Bethlehem Chapel in Prague, where all sermons were delivered not in Latin, but in Czech. This place became the centre of the reformation in Bohemia.Because of his controversial relationship with the Church and opinions on Catholic ethics, Hus was persecuted and finally convicted of heresy by the Council of Constance, for which he was burnt at the stake. The followers of the reformist idea rallied together after the events at Constance, leading to the beginning of the Hussite Wars (1420-1434).

    Couple of updates: Jan Hus didnt refuse to recant his views. He refused to agree that he had actually taught the things of which he was accused. Secondly, under JP2, the catholic church issued a formal apology for Hus' condemnation in 1999

    @niko Actually, you are correct! Many Theologians believe Huss to be the predecessor of Luther. At Huss’s execution he says something along the lines of “You are going to burn a goose [“Huss” means “goose” in Bohemian], but in a century you will have a swan that you can neither roast nor boil.” Luther is believed to have been the swan that Huss had foretold.

    Jan Hus story is tragic. It is a shame that his lawyer, Jan Jesenice, and his stupendous feats of courage borne of friendship toward Jan Hus and probably to an unerring love of God, have all but been forgotten. Jan Jesenice was martyred and tortured to death while being held hostage by Ulrich II von Rosenberg.

    Condemned articles of J. Hus (These are not everything Hus taught, only what the council of constance officially condemned him for) 1. There is only one holy universal church, which is the total number of those predestined to salvation. It therefore follows that the universal holy church is only one, inasmuch as there is only one number of all those who are predestined to salvation. 2. Paul was never a member of the devil, even though he did certain acts which are similar to the acts of the church's enemies. 3. Those foreknown as damned are not parts of the church, for no part of the church can finally fall away from it, since the predestinating love that binds the church together does not fail. 4. The two natures, the divinity and the humanity, are one Christ. 5. A person foreknown to damnation is never part of the holy church, even if he is in a state of grace according to present justice; a person predestined to salvation always remains a member of the church, even though he may fall away for a time from adventitious grace, for he keeps the grace of predestination. 6. The church is an article of faith in the following sense: to regard it as the convocation of those predestined to salvation, whether or not it be in a state of grace according to present justice. 7. Peter neither was nor is the head of the holy catholic church. 8. Priests who live in vice in any way pollute the power of the priesthood, and like unfaithful sons are untrustworthy in their thinking about the church's seven sacraments, about the keys, offices, censures, customs, ceremonies and sacred things of the church, about the veneration of relics, and about indulgences and orders. 9. The papal dignity originated with the emperor, and the primacy and institution of the pope emanated from imperial power. 10. Nobody would reasonably assert of himself or of another, without revelation, that he was the head of a particular holy church; nor is the Roman pontiff the head of the Roman church. 11. It is not necessary to believe that any particular Roman pontiff is the head of any particular holy church, unless God has predestined him to salvation. 12. Nobody holds the place of Christ or of Peter unless he follows his way of life, since there is no other discipleship that is more appropriate nor is there another way to receive delegated power from God, since there is required for this office of vicar a similar way of life as well as the authority of the one instituting. 13. The pope is not the manifest and true successor of the prince of the apostles, Peter, if he lives in a way contrary to Peter's. If he seeks avarice, he is the vicar of Judas Iscariot. Likewise, cardinals are not the manifest and true successors of the college of Christ's other apostles unless they live after the manner of the apostles, keeping the commandments and counsels of our lord Jesus Christ. 14. Doctors who state that anybody subjected to ecclesiastical censure, if he refuses to be corrected, should be handed over to the judgment of the secular authority, are undoubtedly following in this the chief priests, the scribes and the pharisees who handed over to the secular authority Christ himself, since he was unwilling to obey them in all things, saying, It is not lawful for us to put any man to death; these gave him to the civil judge, so that such men are even greater murderers than Pilate. 15. Ecclesiastical obedience was invented by the church's priests, without the express authority of scripture. 16. The immediate division of human actions is between those that are virtuous and those that are wicked. Therefore, if a man is wicked and does something, he acts wickedly; if he is virtuous and does something, he acts virtuously. For just as wickedness, which is called crime or mortal sin, infects all the acts of a wicked man, so virtue gives life to all the acts of a virtuous man. 17. A priest of Christ who lives according to his law, knows scripture and has a desire to edify the people, ought to preach, notwithstanding a pretended excommunication. And further on: if the pope or any superior orders a priest so disposed not to preach, the subordinate ought not to obey. 18. Whoever enters the priesthood receives a binding duty to preach; and this mandate ought to be carried out, notwithstanding a pretended excommunication. 19. By the church's censures of excommunication, suspension and interdict the clergy subdue the laity, for the sake of their own exaltation, multiply avarice protect wickedness and prepare the way for antichrist. The clear sign of this is the fact that these censures come from antichrist. In the legal proceedings of the clergy they are called fulminations, which are the principal means whereby the clergy proceed against those who uncover antichrist's wickedness, which the clergy has for the most part usurped for itself. 20. If the pope is wicked, and especially if he is foreknown to damnation, then he is a devil like Judas the apostle, a thief and a son of perdition and is not the head of the holy church militant since he is not even a member of it. 21. The grace of predestination is the bond whereby the body of the church and each of its members is indissolubly joined with the head. 22. The pope or a prelate who is wicked and foreknown to damnation is a pastor only in an equivocal sense, and truly is a thief and a robber. 23. The pope ought not to be called "most holy" even by reason of his office, for otherwise even a king ought to be called "most holy" by reason of his office and executioners and heralds ought to be called "holy", indeed even the devil would be called "holy" since he is an official of God. 24. If a pope lives contrary to Christ, even if he has risen through a right and legitimate election according to the established human constitution, he would have risen by a way other than through Christ, even granted that he entered upon office by an election that had been made principally by God. For, Judas Iscariot was rightly and legitimately elected to be an apostle by Jesus Christ who is God, yet he climbed into the sheepfold by another way. 25. The condemnation of the forty-five articles of John Wyclif, decreed by the doctors, is irrational and unjust and badly done and the reason alleged by them is feigned, namely that none of them is catholic but each one is either heretical or erroneous or scandalous. 26. The viva voce agreement upon some person, made according to human custom by the electors or by the greater part of them, does not mean by itself that the person has been legitimately elected or that by this very fact he is the true and manifest successor or vicar of the apostle Peter or of another apostle in an ecclesiastical office. For, it is to the works of the one elected that we should look irrespective of whether the manner of the election was good or bad. For, the more plentifully a person acts meritoriously towards building up the church, the more copiously does he thereby have power from God for this. 27. There is not the least proof that there must be one head ruling the church in spiritual matters who always lives with the church militant. 28. Christ would govern his church better by his true disciples scattered throughout the world, without these monstrous heads. 29. The apostles and faithful priests of the Lord strenuously governed the church in matters necessary for salvation before the office of pope was introduced, and they would continue to do this until the day of judgment if-which is very possible-there is no pope. 30. Nobody is a civil lord, a prelate or a bishop while he is in mortal sin. Source: www.ewtn.com/catholicism/library/council-of-constance-1459

    The means and manner of Huss' Execution is grotesque to us today, but sadly was commonly used by the Civil authorities in and after the Middle Ages, Protestants used the same tactics. But what was missed in the interest of context, is that there were different groups of Hussites who in following Jan Huss went far beyond the whitewashed history in which we paint these "reformers" as great biblical scholars, who raised their voices against Catholic errors. Let's not forget that his followers, led by other priests who like himself had left the priesthood and gathered the peasants to reject the Church had been involved in expelling priests from churches, and gathered what were described violent mobs in doing so. There is also a difficulty when it comes to Hagiographies written by both sides. When someone of the stature of Huss, or choose any Catholic who battled Protestantism are written, we see the supporters almost always giving us a picture of someone who is without blame, pure in spirit and deed, humble and having a full and total devotion to God. They counter with the attacks both honest, excessive and fictional in which we see the end result among some that would make Q-Anon conspiracists blush. An example would be some of the paranoid teachings my SDA neighbors have that Jesuits spy on SDA congregants and have a plan to one day martyr their membership by slitting their throats with specially designed knives. There are also the claims that the Jesuits duped Mohommed into founding Islam by having a nun seduce him and giving him the Koran, which the Jesuits really wrote or influenced. (How this happened almost 700 years before the lifetime of Loyola and founding of the Jesuits is still a bit fuzzy) So I think a total acceptance of all what are presented as firsthand accounts and hagiographies is a bit naive if not outright dangerous.

    Jan Hus preached the Gospel in the vernacular at the Bethlehem Church in prague and the catholic church wanted it done in Latin. Jan Hus set the people free that the catholic church wanted enslaved. And for that they saw themselves avenged in burning him alive as a public spectacle of humiliation, planned long in advance and torturing him before hand. His brilliant lawyer and friend, Jan Jesenice was held by Ulrich II von Rosenberg, tortured and killed as well. Jan Hus had nothing to do with the uprising that took place after his murder. Ostensibly the insurrections were planned to give Christ a bad name, which is nothing new. The world has always been anti-Christ. And still is.

    To this day, July 6th is a national public holiday in Czech Republic, celebrating this great man who hasn’t bent his knee to the corruption of the church. And there is a hussite church where Christian women can become priests and can be married, while the church members can receive a holy communion of both bread and wine, unlike in the catholic church. Whenever I met a hussite, they were upright and tolerant people who would live by the principle of not judging others and just living their own lives by the commandments of their religion.

But to be honest, I am not sure about what the situation was in other times, especially with early Christians (in the 2nd century, these were not Catholics yet, just Christians, as the divisions within Christendom only came later).
