Hi folks. Just heard someone say that we are "David" and the Babylonian church is "Goliath". What do you think? I think the story actually happened, even tho all stories are also parables. Just wondering how I could apply this to my everyday beast slaying. Thanks all.
Have a wonderful winter season-especially to those that got 2 feet of snow!!!

Hello Gena,
As far as applying to everyday life, I would think with God all things are possible to those believing [Matt 19:26, Mark 10:27]. Much like one having faith as a mustard seed, faith as small as a stone can do much [1 Sam 17:49-50]. Whether this someone believes in this account being literal or not, I wouldn't think it changes that intended message.
Babylon is a mother, with harlot daughters, in influences over many people, nations, multitudes, & tongues [Rev 17:5-15]. This mother is Jerusalem, after the flesh, and is in (spiritual) bondage to this day [Gal 4:22-25]. Babylon is never likened to a giant male Philistine.
Is this someone you talk to regularly? If so, do you think they would take a look at Ray's paper from the LOF series:
