The little lamb said she wanted to hear some thoughts as to who the harlot is , and you posted revelation where God said " I gave her space to repent" ????? Should this not imply a event that took place prior to the writing of Revelation??
And has Christ returned yet, isnt there therefore still more time for her to repent, but she wont.

Im intruiged as to why you are defending her????

] I will also cause all her mirth to cease, her feast days, her new moons, and her sabbaths, and all her solemn feasts.
Where do you think Rome got it from?
Notice He doesn't say my feast days, this is why Jesus didn't observe her sabbath or was h his hands before He ate. He wasn't subject to man's religion.

@mjrhealth so are you saying it's wrong to go to a Church building?

It's not a must, as we can gather anywhere as disciples of Jesus, but don't we as the church still need the five-fold ministry?

No all we need is Christ, God made it simple so we could all learn from Him,

Joh_14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

Who would you rather learn from, men or God.

Gal_1:12 For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.

1Pe_1:13 Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;

He is there for all men, if they are willing to give up the world for Him.

You want religion you can have religion, you want Christ He is there for you.

You do recall they too casted down their rods, and theIr rods became serpents, Moses's snake swallowed them all up though.

You see God was on Moses side, God's power is greater than witchcraft. Witchcraft is the lesser powers of darkness.

If you guys can't see the similarities between Judaism and the RC, then I don't know what else to say.

Well you see in the WHY IS THE CHURCH GOING OUT BACKWARD? their was some debate about the need for shepherds/pastors.

I did a post point, there will just about be someone else that will always know God better than we do, there will just about be someone who will always have a deeper relationship with God than we do.

It's being humble and honest that we are not perfect, by saying we don't need any shepherds or pastors, we could possibly getting rid of one of God's ways of communicating to us, because he sometimes uses the five fold ministry to communicate through and get the message out to us and other people. So for example a prophet may receive a word from God for you, and they may be led by the Holy Spirit to speak it to you, that is one way God can communicate with us, so in this example God gives a prophet a message and that prophet passes on that message to you.

Then you have a teacher with the God given ability to teach the word of God real well, this teacher has a real deep knowledge of God's word, that teacher received the knowledge from God to pass it on to you, so the saints may be equipped.

So in this post we just saw a couple of rolls of the members of the Church, the Body of Christ, the bride of Christ. As Christians we are members of the Body of Christ, the foot cannot say the hand it doesn't need you, and the eye cannot say to the ear it doesn't need you. So in saying that it's incorrect to suggest that the whole Church is the harlot.

You do realize there are false prophets?

Where not talking about our Lords church we are talking about mens church this one,

Act 7:47 But Solomon built him an house.
Act 7:48 Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands; as saith the prophet,
Act 7:49 Heaven is my throne, and earth is my footstool: what house will ye build me? saith the Lord: or what is the place of my rest?
Act 7:50 Hath not my hand made all these things?
Act 7:51 Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do ye.
Act 7:52 Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted? and they have slain them which shewed before of the coming of the Just One; of whom ye have been now the betrayers and murderers:

just like babylon men still building their temple to heaven
