Comments: You need higher standards for the "experts" you appeal to. Texe Marrs is a known conspiracy nut. Don't believe everything you read.

Hey, RJ is revealing his spiritual sources to be newer than that Russell guy who he says is too new and was too young. Don't make him turn off the tap.

When I reference a site it is to put forth an idea, not to endorse everything that
is written there or everything the writer believes. I do not even understand the
book of Revelation that well. Someone else brought up this subject earlier but
never finished it. I was writing on another thread that I seemed inspired to
quote a passage from 2 Thessalonians 2, which brought this subject back to my
mind. This is the article I came up with when I googled it. I have made no
comment to endorse it completely or the author. That is why I asked for comments.
But I was not referring to the author, but to the subject matter. I am not at all
interested in what anyone thinks of the author.

I wonder if the JWs are especially interested in what you think of Russell. But you went after Russell anyway.

I was not going after Russell. I believe he meant well. But he just was not
qualified to lead a new denomination of Christianity and a cult resulted with
many false beliefs. This was what I was trying to get across with the history
lesson.

So you don't understand Revelation that well? So considering that so much of Revelation is concerning the time period we live right now, would you think this is not a good thing for you especially in light that you say you preach and teach ones about the bible and you have this void in your teaching that shouldn't be there? So you are not qualified to teach out of the book of Revelation?


2 Timothy 3:17
Good News Translation (GNT)

17 so that the person who serves God may be ""fully qualified"" and equipped to do every kind of good deed.


I once had a Catholic priest tell me when I had knocked on his door, to close up my Bible as I was reading a scripture to him out of Revelation, to not even go to that book in the Bible as he and no one else could ever understand it.
What? I almost laughed as he closed the door on me. Was he serious? He the supposed leader and minister in his church with who knows how many life's he was influancing with spiritual matters could not and would not discuss the book of Revelation with a 16 year old kid when I was there? How terribly sad that was that he would not even discuss or even take on a kid when speaking of the Bible and the book of Revelation.
Unbelieveable.......

So you say..... Did you ever talk to the man? Ever ask him any questions and have an open book discussion with him with a bible? Ever see the research he and the other bible students that he was associated with did and why they learned what they did about the supposed Christian religions aroiund them that they knew something was wrong in their teachings?
Hum? Sounds like your still judging doesn't it?

Was that encounter formative for your outlook or opinion of anything?

You might find the interpretation section found at:

http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/01594b.htm

to be of interest.

BTW, "The Encyclopedia bears the imprimatur of the Most Reverend Archbishop under whose jurisdiction it is published."

http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/

Which is only to say, the encyclopedia bears the same degree of control by Satan as the rest of the RCC. 😉

Babylon in this context is Rome, the center of the at that time pagan Roman Empire. It is not the Catholics - the Catholics are the Roman Christians who were being persecuted.
