Rome Is Mystery Babylon

I didn't watch the video, but it has the Pope on it right up front. I can imagine what the video is about because I've heard it all before. Sorry for judging the book by its cover.

But I would like to point out that the Pope doesn't live in Rome, he lives in Vatican City across the river from Rome.

Here we go again ,for the hundredth million time !!!

At least you (rightly) put this in the controversial theology forum.

Babylon has more to do with the materialistic world and wanting to achieve power... it has nothing specially to do with Rome... or the Pope... It has to do with us all.

History would refute your assertion

I can assure you that the Church which Jesus founded is not the harlot of Babylon. Has it occurred to you that Revelation is referring to pagan Rome, which martyred Peter and Paul? Or even Jerusalem, considering Jesus' words, "Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her!", and the fact that it was responsible for its own persecution of the Way? The harlot gets drunk on the blood of the saints, so whoever it is, it's certainly not the Church which these martyrs belonged to.

Who murdered a myriad of Protestants?

Protestants murdered Catholics too, heck even they murdered other Protestants who didn't agree with their interpretation of the Bible.

Solomon Smith said:

Doesn’t even compare. It is estimated that some 50 million Protestants were killed by Rome.

Catholics were burning Protestants at the stake.

I actually got it out of my studybible but well, it does not matter, believe what you want to believe I guess

Isn't Roman Catholic a mix of Christianity and mithraism (ie: Constatine)? Which is why there's mary veneration, intercession of saints, indulgences, etc. The theology of the 1st century apostles may be different than the blended Roman religion hundreds of years later?

Another thread started to bash Catholicism.

So in your world stating History is bashing Catholicism, is that correct?
