    What is Mystery Babylon?

    You don't hate lying and deception enough to forsake what you have received as error...the limiting of God's power. Do you really think I'm lying by exaggerating the power of the gospel? The truth is laid out clearly enough although it does take the power of the Spirit to bring us into the full...

    What is Mystery Babylon?

    Ziggy posted about the bible showing us a standard that we are to live up to...and that it is for every person to see where they are. This is sort of true...for the righteous and the babes in Christ. But in the end we cannot be trusted to read in the standard of Christ for ourselves. God is...

    I never saw this "side" of you before. I am rather full of peace and joy. I accept that "disease" as from the Lord. :) Why this tone? I think I struck a chord with you that you don't like. I see your outer man ego reacting against the truth whereby its the inner man in you I'm trying to reach...

    What is Mystery Babylon?

    Why was Jesus crucified? Easy answer...because of our sins. Our sinful ways put Him there. There is more than one depth to the gospel. There is the universal application...Jesus dying for all people (He will have mercy on whom He wills). Those who have not said they would obey Christ...but end...

    What is Mystery Babylon?

    You didn't like my answer so you are in a snit...reacting. It is well known around the world that America is a land where people seek personal happiness. People are looking for a better life. A land of opportunities. But that is far from God's ways. When a religious industrial complex arises to...

    What is Mystery Babylon?

    I think it is wrong to look at the bible as something to gain for yourself. Jesus counsels us to let go of our lives...not try saving them. The bible has to be bent to make it about "getting saved'...a purely American pursuit...like the American dream sort of thing.

    What is Mystery Babylon?

    Parroting things back at me does not change the fact that you are so deep in religious ideology, you don't know which way is up. The delusion you are under is that...having admitted you were a slave of the devil...you can't know where you are presently. It would be like somebody thinking they...

    But what a fool believes he sees No wise man has the power to reason away What seems to be Is always better than nothing And nothing at all keeps sending him... ♪♪

    What is Mystery Babylon?

    A false comparison. Is there a Catholic here condemning all Protestants? You can't help yourself...judging others, reducing them in order to elevate yourself. Very bad practice. I haven't seen such obvious self-aggrandizement from Catholics.

    What is Mystery Babylon?

    That's right. All your self-justification is not according to God...but your own religious self (ego). No flesh can justify themselves for any reason...whether by works or beliefs. A tree is known of its fruit. And God will sort out the wheat from the tares.

    What is Mystery Babylon?

    You are possessed of another spirit if you can write off more than a billion believers in Christ based on an effort towards self-justification. Babylon is far greater than any one church denomination. It is Babylon the GREAT. The errors know no bounds. You should admit that you are in error...

    What is Mystery Babylon?

    Going from pillar to post. So you prefer the repetitive name-in -vain type of virtue-signalling to a scheme where Jesus is never mentioned. But what if, rather than striking a religious posture...you could actually enter into eternal reality...through Christ? Think about it.

    What is Mystery Babylon?

    Your idea of basics is to uplift the flesh by having Christ in you...as your foundation. Whereas the foundation is Christ....no ego involved....which makes you very much in error. The foundation of God is to depart from iniquity. When I try pointing out your grave errors you double down on your...

    ...then they are qualified to run the race of faith into the high calling that is in Christ. No one can justify themselves by having received a free gift. Do you heed the utmost necessity of believing "on" Christ? Can I hear an amen? Why don't you mention the dire need to believe on Christ...

    What is Mystery Babylon?

    We can see why it is called MYSTERY Babylon. Or the Mystery of iniquity (lawlessness). If there was more knowledge, wisdom and understanding...these things would become marginal rather than mainstream.

    What is Mystery Babylon?

    There is a gift of faith...into the higher walk. But we are each responsible for taking heed to the laws of God. We will each be judged on our own level of faithfulness and righteousness. What we have done with what we have been given. You are speaking to someone who is so...

    What is Mystery Babylon?

    Why such mindless posts...? Such wackiness. Go to a football site....and post hundreds of posts on how it is CRUCIAL to throw the ball...throw the ball. Of utmost need to throw the ball. Now repeat that hundreds of times. Do it totally out of context like you do your religious indoctrination...

    What is Mystery Babylon?

    So much dissipation in this thread...grandstanding, foolishness. Truly regretful. "Therefore I said, Surely these are poor; they are foolish: for they know not the way of the LORD, nor the judgment of their God." Jer. 5:4

    What is Mystery Babylon?

    Being either hot or cold are seen by the Lord as good things. It's being neither that is the problem. I'm referring here to the Laodicean church mentioned in Rev. 3. Being hot (on fire) I think is easy to understand...this means being holy. Our God is a consuming fire. What I think is less...

    What is Mystery Babylon?

    I see this kind of head-in-the-sand position from a number of posters here. Everything that is bad or wrong is done exclusively by unbelievers. The Laodiceans?...whom the bible calls a church?...well the bible is wrong...they are obviously non-believers. :oops: Those who are judged personally...
