    What is Mystery Babylon?

    No He is no respecter of persons......the same gospel applies to all....the same way to salvation. No different ways for different people. And how can anyone fear God without FAITH...believing by FAITH that He is. Salvation is by FAITH....which is not of our own....there's no other way...

    What is Mystery Babylon?

    Unfortunately, not everyone will receive eternal life Epi. Only those who God has foreknown. Those who are elect according to His foreknowledge....He will have mercy on who He has mercy, who He has already decided before the world was. We don't get to decide that. We don't get to judge, only...

    What is Mystery Babylon?

    Sometimes you have to call a spade a spade in order that others might see what it is. I sometimes refer to the deception that Amigo is talking about, as "kumbaya"....because it's pie-in-the-sky self righteousness, not the righteousness of Christ. And what it does essentially is accuse God's...

    What is Mystery Babylon?

    And so you have justified yourself before men. And once again you make it sound as though we all have a disagreement with holiness and a holy walk....when that is not what we here are objecting to. It's those other things you believe that is the problem......which essentially means your higher...

    What is Mystery Babylon?

    No confusion at my end....I certainly affirm what Jerusalem had become and was judged for. But she is our example.......and what has been will be again, there is nothing new under the sun. We need to understand that mystery Babylon, the mystery of iniquity is a spirit at work. When one body...

    Whatsoever is not of FAITH is sin.

    Tucker Carlson in Moscow to interview Vladimir Putin

    It’s very important to distinguish between governments and the church. Discern between the holy and the common. Jhn 18:36 Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my...

    What is Mystery Babylon?

    Amen, think there is no question at all that it was Jerusalem in the end of that old covenant age....the latter days of that era. But also I believe we better consider the possibility that it was an admonition and warning and example to the church too. To the Jew first, then the Gentile...

    What is Mystery Babylon?

    Yes, they were captives of Rome when Jesus came. If memory serves, Herod was Rome's idea, but I think it's possible there was corruption and compromise in the Temple ranks, much like there is in the church, where positions of leadership are given to those who men choose rather than who God...

    What is Mystery Babylon?

    No self improvement program here. As you should know from our previous conversations. We are God's workmanship. And He brings us to see what we can't change in ourselves so that we will seek HIM for what we lack. You know quite well that I do not disagree with you on these things you are...

    What is Mystery Babylon?

    Tree of knowledge of both good and evil...it's not the right Tree at all. Jesus said to beware of both the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod.

    What is Mystery Babylon?

    It's a kind of spiritual principle that has always been true, and we see it manifest first in the Garden of Eden. I think it is important to identify today's manifestation of it and warn against it. Not sure where you see me painting a rosy picture with these things...? We in the church...

    What is Mystery Babylon?

    Amen. Obadiah is a good read on this too. In Ez. 9 God put a mark on (sealed in their foreheads) those who sighed and cried for their fallen brethren, and we see this again in those who were likewise sealed in Rev. 20. This is the right heart attitude of God's remnant, His true church and...

    What is Mystery Babylon?

    Yes, it's mixture and that is why it is so deceptive. Also what features very prominently with mystery Babylon, is that it is a house of merchandise. The call to "come out of her" has been echoing down through the centuries from the prophets since before the Babylonian captivity. Spiritually...

    What is Mystery Babylon?

    God's word is a light unto our path and lamp unto our feet. The living word that is alive and active through the Holy Spirit. How can we live and grow without it? We are eating of the Word made flesh, the Tree of Life!

    What is Mystery Babylon?

    What are the ancient paths? It is speaking of the Tree of Life in the Garden. Which Adam and Eve had not eaten of, but should have. It is actually a well worn path of the risen Christ who became a quickening (life) spirit....the Lamb of God slain from the foundation of the world. We are to...

    What is Mystery Babylon?

    Amen! Love those verses. He is a great God, far above our understanding! We each have a measure apportioned to us as the Spirit wills, and just need to continue growing and increasing in whatever we each have, as per the parable of the talents, so that when the Master returns He will find...

    What is Mystery Babylon?

    We grow in understanding as we pay the price to follow/obey Him along the way. "BUY the truth, but sell it not". So it really is something RECEIVED from the Lord, ie, when we are at rest, rather than being something we figure out on our own....we are buying truth from HIM, not our own carnal...

    What is Mystery Babylon?

    Yes, as soon as the Lord does something good we have a tendency to want to "bottle it" in order to have it always. But I believe it is ultimately in His wisdom that there is an ebb and flow with His workings, and a time to everything under heaven. There are times when in His wisdom He...

    What is Mystery Babylon?

    Amen. This is the problem the Lord has when dealing with mankind........there is of course never a problem on His end, in what He does, but it doesn't take long before flesh gets in the way and starts to handle what He is doing. Otherwise we could have revivals going on potentially that never...
