I had a thought about this very topic today,and am currently going through a similar situation myself. My thought was concerning the Church or Babylon which I really don't like using that term because it sounds so dismissive and pompous. In the case of the Pharisees they had become evil because they kept their followers in blindness. Matthew 23 vs 13-36. Jesus was very hard or harsh toward them but not the people of Israel.Look at vs 37 same chapter and the compassion for the lost souls. Just the same the Church members are our brothers our family, most are deceived through the false teaching. They are not as the Pharisees, but more like the lost sheep of Israel,in terms of there blindness to God's truth.

Hi Sonofone,

I understand how you feel.  When I first got to this forum, some of the things said here "appeared" to be kind of harsh.  That was several weeks ago and as I learn more, I understand that Babylon isn't a mean spirited insult that the Forum members made up.  It's from the Word.  As far as most people being deceived through false teaching - agreed.  But I've notice many/most are like I was at first, they sit and listen to a pastor without digging into the Word for themselves.  God of course calls us to dig so in some respects, maybe they can be seen as victims.   But on the other hand, we - all of us - will be held accountable for our lives.  Anyway, just my thoughts :)
