The Great Whore of Babylon

Prove it using something better than your typical conspiracy theory cites.

It would appear that some people will believe anything as long as it speaks ill of their favorite whipping post.

 

Disrrove it using something better than your typical conspiracy theory.

 

Disrrove it using something better than your typical conspiracy theory. [/QB]</font>[/QUOTE]Nope, sorry, you can't prove a negative.

You're making assertions, thus the burden of proof rests upon you to support these assertions with substantive sources.

Only then can detractors offer proof supporting opposing viewpoints.

It's called "debate," something you would do well to practice.

 

Except that Chemnitz doesn't have a conspiracy theory; whereas your obsessive theory that the Catholic Church is the Whore of Babylon is well-documented on these boards.

The burden of proof is on you, I'm afraid.

[ETA - cped with TP who beat me to it and put it better]

 

I explained you about the Bible explaining the Great Whore. Then do you deny the Inquisition by Catholic, Indulgence Business, Idolatry, Papacy, etc? Proofs are everywhere in the world.
Why are those sites condemning Inquisition, Idolatry the conspiracy sites?

If I present another ones, you will condemn it again as conspiracy site. Why should I do it?

I know this battle will continue until the Lord comes and destroy all the Whorish people.

 

You've given your interpretation of the Bible concerning the 'Great Whore'. But I have asked you elsewhere:-

Same applies here: either put up or shut up.

 

What Matt said.

Besides, what you've offered, Eli, is your interpretztion of what the Bible says, ignoring Biblical scholarship and historical fact.

You have yet to properly disprove my assertion that the passage in Revelation refers not to the Catholoic Church, but to the Roman government. I would contend that the picture of the Whore of Babylon is not the Catholic Church but American society.

I'm looking forward to any supported evidence you may have to the contrary.

 

The great whore is Babylon, not Rome; it's Islam.

Now, I have reason to believe that the beast she rides is the Catholic church.

Now, we can look at the alliance made between the Catholics and the Muslims a while back, and this alliance has created a united front that is arguably 2.5+ billion strong, plus add in those who are sympathetic to either, and you have about half the world in this unholy alliance.

(I also find it interesting to read about this new compound the US is building in Iraq.)

 

If all the evidence we have to offer is opinion, I'll say the Whore of Babylon is Bugs Bunny.

 

OOH--tp--
I'm newly back on the board after a lengthy absence, so I'm sure I've missed much of the debate here.

Can you expound upon--or provide me a BB topic link or something that does so--your comment on your contention that "the picture of the Whore of Babylon is not the Catholic Church but American society"??? I'm not disagreeing or debating your point but, rather, am wanting more info to understand why you say this. It's very interesting--as is this entire discussion.

Thanks very much. (oh, and btw, I'm on my way to work, so it'll be a long time before I can reply to anything you might say after I post this)

Let me put a little fun twist in here.

Babylon

Where is Babylon? Is it a real place? As a teen one day I setout to find where the Babylon of Rev is located. I found only 2 places. Now, there maybe more then one, but as a young boy that was all I could find. Nowadays it is much easier with Google.

Where are the 2 Babylons?

What does this have to do with anything? i don't know...maybe nothing. Just posting for feedback.

In Christ..James

 

Jacob,

It was really ill advised of you to start this topic, considering that it has been talked to the point of blistering headaches, and that there is already a parallel argument still raging on this board. If you have some kind of legitimate piece of evidence to support your point, then let's see it ALREADY! Jeez!

It's not opinion that the great whore is Babylon. Trying to say that she's something else is definitely opinion, as it's not what we're told in Scripture.

However, my belief that the beast is the Catholic church is opinion.

 

I agree and to back up your opinion you should go here and click on the lessons called "Resting the Land", "Bowing to Babylon", and "The Mark of Cain"
The Whore of Babylon

(Its best to click the little "television" icons so you can watch Doug Batchelor explain.)

 

Guys, Jacob started this thread as a 'tongue in cheek' OP.

 

TO EVERYONE:

GO CLICK THE LINK I GAVE IN THE ABOVE POST AND THERE'S THE PROOF YOU NEED WHO THE WHORE OF BABYLON IS

 

Claudia,

I have to say that I didn't get too far. I think this Batchelor fellow twists Scripture to fit his purposes, and obviously so, so I can't give it much attention, sorry.

Here's an example:

Now, here's what Luke 5:21 says:

The Pharisees and scribes were thinking this about... guess who?

Jesus, that's Who.

The same Jesus who, later in the Gospels, gave His followers the authority to forgive sin. Here's John 20:23:

In short, I find this out-of-context and lazy prooftexting disgusting. Find someone who can make their point without stripping Scripture of its meaning.

 

Oh, come on. It's definitely Barney. Or is he the Beast out of the Sea?

 

Oh, come on. It's definitely Barney. Or is he the Beast out of the Sea? </font>[/QUOTE]No, Yosemite Sam is definitely the Beast out of the Sea; Barney is the beast the Whore (Bugs) rides upon.

The Antichrist is, of course, Mickey Mouse.
