What religios in Babylon?
Deborah-Leigh:
What is so horrific is that we were blind enough to believe and trust the Pastor!....We got a right royal boot out of that deception and it hurt at the time because Bible Truths was only revealed to us AFTER we got dragged out. We thought Mystery Babylon was the only place to be safe or saved!!!!We have been so blind and had to repent of the idols of our hearts that helped keep us locked int the hold of Babyloinian ways and errors.
God has is and ever will be so kind and merciful as is His nature to be. What a privilage to know He will right every wrong and all will be saved in the end!
Peace to you

Do you know what religious in Babylon? Remember, Babylon is not literal, it is spiritual.
Is Babylon are Christendom but not from Muslim, Buddha, Catholic (Mary), Mormon, etc? The reason why I asked because my mind has been thinking since over year ago. I will tell you what I was thinking. All Christians who say, "In Jesus name" or "only one Christ", "one Bible alone" are Babylon because they using name of Jesus only and one Bible only. Same as "Lord, Lord, have we not..." (Matt. 7:22-23). But Babylon are not Catholic, Mormon, etc. because they don't use name of Jesus only, they added Mary, Joseph Smith, etc before Jesus, and they don't use one Bible only because they added another books before Bible. Those are called Pagans but not Babylon. (??) That is what I have in my mind. I do not want wrong thinking. I don't know if I am right. Hope you can help ;).
So, what religious are in Babylon, do you know?
***No discussing over Mormon, Catholic, etc issues. Only what religions in Babylon.***

hi brett.
imho:
we are told what is mystery babylon in scriptures:
Rev 17:18 And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.
what reigns over the kings of the earth? confusion!!
babylon= babel which literal means "confusion by mixing"
mystery means:hidden thing, secret, mystery confided only to the initiated and not to ordinary mortals a hidden or secret thing, not obvious to the understanding a hidden purpose or counsel
secret will 1c
so we see only few know about it and few understand to come out. come out of what? confusion by mixing.
we be not concerned of worldly things so ours is a spiritual exodus, and we understand what is mixed in the religious community "today"
physical/spiritual
grace/law
and: what was confused in the beginning??? ((language)) the original tower of babel!!!!!!!that great city still exsists today.how many christians do you know confused by reading the bible from a 21st century mindset and seeing the words and not knowing???
ray has a perfect example:
The "hell" as the English used it in everyday life in the 1600’s:
Webster’s Twentieth Century Dictionary: "hell, n. [ME, helle; AS, hell, hell, from helan, to cover, conceal.]"
The "hell" of the 21st Century:
The American Heritage Collegiate Dictionary: "The abode of condemned souls and devils...the place of eternal punishment for the wicked after death, presided over by Satan…a state of separation from God…a place of evil, misery, discord, or destruction …torment, anguish."
is it not evident when we see churches resembling the world and its ways.
great topic:
much love

Hey Chuckt..euty :)
You wrote : The American Heritage Collegiate Dictionary: "The abode of condemned souls and devils...the place of eternal punishment for the wicked after death, presided over by Satan state of separation from God place of evil, misery, discord, or destruction torment, anguish."
the thought that occured to me is that the above definition actually fits better to the Church of Christendom! They will say "Lord Lord" and ....well....we know..they will be punished...we know that they are presently presided over by Satan.....I know...I came out and can testify to much discord, destruction, torment and anguish experienced while in Mystery Babylon and sharing in her plagues!
Thank you for your thoughts....
Peace to you

Brett:
Thanks Chuckt and Arcturus for the share your comments.
Yeah, 'CONFUSSION'. I went through it but I had enough :P! I went to pagan's religious, then Assembly of God then Southern Baptist. It was very strong confusion that I cannot tell until God removed my spiritual blindness. I was extremely stunned. But now I'm glad to know truth, I mean the solid truth ;D.
