Get out of babylon
Hellisfake:
Hello friends! I got a question: We are commanded to pull out from Babylon churches and that system, but is it always so for all selected, I mean, is it always that case that you have to go that route, or can we find one example of someone who God gave the sound faith right away?
Because if it is so that God always takes us through Babylon, what should we do with our children? Encourage them to go to Babylon's daughters? for if they do not, they will not be among those selected?
It may already exist another thread on the subject, please get me that link
God bless:)

I don't think you need to encourage your children to go to Babylons daughters, as you put it. Your children were already born into Babylon.
Is that right?
Unless you think Babylon,( the 'her' in 'come out of her' )is just the Christian church and not the church of the carnal nature which we are all born into whether we're Christians or Buddhists or Muslims etc. etc.
Terry:
I've often thought of that very thing,
thanks Largeli

I allways thought that Babylon was the religious system in the world. But why dosent the Lord reveals the these truths as we can read here on this site, when he first must meet the Lord,
it seems that one must go through a time in the traditional church first, before he revels this truth about salvation of all, and free will and so on...?

I'm thinking that the NT Scripture is speaking of Babylon as the church system in particular, but I also think of Babylon as the whole worldly system in general too, as it has the proclivity towards carnality. We do have to have an experience of good and evil in this life, and that comes about from living deceived along with the rest of the world about the truth and the real carnal condition of things.
Tit 3:3 For we ourselves were also once foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful and hating one another
I don't think I would put my children in a system that I understand to be filled with inaccuracies with the assumption that might be the only way they can become God's chosen... the elect were already determined from the beginning and there really is no way to bring that about or prevent it anyway. I think our responsibility is to teach our children the truth, on a continual basic the best you can.
Mercy, peace and love
