The Whore of Babylon is not coequal with the Beast, is she? She rides ON the Beast, if I remember right...would that indicate that the Roman Catholic church is not THE Beast system, but joins with it and "rides it," until it is destroyed? (again, am I confused whether "The Whore of Babylon," and "figurative Babylon" are the same thing?)<br /><br />Just some random stuff off the top of my head.Hakam Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10114741274619345717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2736720231951988221.post-22475573445204745962013-07-18T10:37:52.032-04:002013-07-18T10:37:52.032-04:00 What next?? I mean really....As a former Catholic... What next?? I mean really....As a former Catholic, I can say that those who believe in Purgatory are sincerely deceived! Was the shed blood of Jesus enough to take away sin or not? If you cannot say yes to that, then there is no salvation for you. They deny the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. He either did it all or He did nothing at all.<br />Soooo.... where does that leave the Pope??? I think that born from above ones know the answer.<br />Thanks for the post, Elizabeth. It truly makes the point.<br /><br />PamAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2736720231951988221.post-50858181983616155922013-07-17T12:31:46.403-04:002013-07-17T12:31:46.403-04:00Psalm 49
