Earlier this year, I was
reading an online Holy Bible on the website: (http://www.holybible.com).
As I was reading, I noticed that there were additional
'defender's notes' underneath several verses of
Scripture. After I clicked on to these 'defender
note' links I found that this website contained
information which tries to contradict the known fact
that the Mother of Harlots written about in Revelation
chapters seventeen and eighteen in the Holy Bible is the
Roman Catholic Church.
● The source of the following commentary found on the
website: (http://www.holybible.com)
is from the KJV Defenders Study Bible by Dr. Henry
Morris, Ph.D.
The following 'defender's notes' taken from the
above mentioned website are basically an attempt by the
writer to defend the Roman Catholic System. His comments
are falsely interpreted teaching about the true
information written in Scriptures in chapter seventeen
of the book of Revelation in the Holy Bible.
Revelation 17:5
"Babylon is referred to several times in Revelation as
an actual city (Revelation 14:8; 16:19; 18:10), and
there is no reason to call it "Rome" or "Catholicism" or
something else, as many have done'.
'The Babel of Nimrod, not the Babylon of Nebuchadnezzar,
is actually the "mother of harlots and abominations'.
Revelation 17:9
'Many commentators have alleged the "seven heads"
to be the seven-hilled city of Rome, hence deducing the
great harlot to be the Roman Catholic Church. However,
such identification is impossible. Many cities have
seven hills, and Rome actually has more. Besides, the
Catholic Church does not sit on the hills of Rome, for
its headquarters are in Vatican City. Furthermore, a
"hill" (Greek bounos) is not a "mountain" (Greek
oros). The seven "mountains" are quite
clearly expounded in the next verse as seven kings
and/or kingdoms'.
(sample of deception only)
● My comment: I fully oppose the deceptive doctrine
which is taken from the website: (http://www.holybible.com).
The person who wrote the version of defense of the Roman
Catholic Church has not convinced me that Mystery
Babylon is not the Roman Catholic Church. On close
examination we find much evidence to support the fact
that Mystery Babylon, the Mother of Harlots and of the
Abominations of Earth is indeed none other than the
Roman Catholic Church of the world.
"Come I will show you the judgment of the great
harlot who sits on many waters, with whom the kings of
the earth committed fornication, and the inhabitants of
the earth were made drunk with the wine of her
fornication." Ref: Revelation 17:1, 2.
● Comment: The great harlot which sits on many waters
surrounding many countries and all the continents on
earth is indeed the Roman Catholic Church. Her deceptive
teachings are presently tirelessly deceiving people in
Italy and other European countries and in Asia including
the Philippines and Singapore, and in North America
including USA as well as further south in Mexico as well
as in South America including Brazil and in
the southern pagan land down under, Australia.....click.
Kings and other national leaders have certainly shared
in the sins of the Roman Catholic Church (RCC). The RCC
has prostituted herself with the ways of the world and
the ruler of this world, Satan and has gathered
multitudes with the word 'love'.
I recently saw a photograph taken from the time that
a former pope lived. The pope of the day was seen to be
shaking hands with none other than Adolf Hitler.
The sins of the RCC with its involvement in war crimes
during World War Two have also come to my attention time
and again, so I plan to investigate the matter in depth
so that I may know more detailed truth about this.
"The woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet and adorned
with gold and precious stones and pearls, having in her
hand a golden cup full of abominations and the
filthiness of her fornication." Revelation 17:4. I also
advise you to read Revelation 18:15-19.
● The costliness of the Roman Catholic Churches' gold,
jewelry and garments has made men rich in earthly
wealth.....click.
The colours of the garments worn by priests and the pope
of the RCC are scarlet and purple, and the priests use a
golden cup. If my memory serves me correctly I believe I
have also seen a photograph of a former pope holding in
his hand a very costly cup adorned with what looked to
be precious stones and pearls.
The RCC has also committed many crimes including murder
in the form of war crimes and punishment of
non-conformists to the RCC's sinful ways and standards.
The RCC is certainly of the world, and she has a history
of persecuting and murdering peoples including saints,
(not to mention her molestation of children and
parishioners).
Revelation 18:24
Multitudes of people; people from many countries and
speakers of various languages in the world have all
learned the very same multilingual deceptive teachings
of the RCC.....click.
Also worth noting is that the Vatican City is actually
small in size and is located within the great city of
Rome. Rome has had an extensive history as being the
great city which reigned over rulers of the earth, (
the eternal city in fact).
The RCC has experienced a history of exercising powerful
authority on earth as she invaded and ruled more than
just one country. She is of the world and certainly not
the true church of Lord Jesus Christ, (the one made
without hands).
She says in her heart, 'I sit as queen and am no
widow and will not see sorrow' (ref: Revelation 18:7).'
Does not the RCC claim to be the bride (queen) married
to the king, Lord Jesus?
Revelation 17:15, 18
● Let the faithful followers of Lord Jesus remember
to speak out against the works of darkness. Ephesians
5:11-13.
Be very cautious when or if reading online bibles as the
additions which I found that someone had made to add to
the true word of God changed and defamed the meaning of
His words.
Revelation 22:18, 19, Acts 17:11. 1 Corinthians
4:6.....Selah
