The way of Salvaion and to escape the destruction of this world system is found in Acts 2:37,38. The message delivered on the day of Pentecost is still the way in 2012. Have you obeyed? If not make haste. Don't let the doctrines of man deceive you; for there is no other name given than that of Jesus Christ. The Name whereby you must be saved not father,son, and HOLY GHOST. Jesus is the family name. He came in His Father's Name which is the excellent Name He received by inheritance. All honor to His Name.
4 come out of her. 8 she sits and says she`s no widow. Them in her religious political one world system think they are married to the true husban and the True Christ but they say they we are married & content because we have our god antichrist. Then when the LORD returns they will be so a shamed and run and hide their faces. This is a warning that the instead of Christ is coming people.

To all, once again, please have a Happy Thanksgiving Day!
AS the Godhead soap opera CONTINUES as to whom the Bible declares as Lord of all: Threesome, twosome, or Jesus only!
Once again here is indication of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost! God the Father is invisible (FAther 1st Timothy 1:17); "For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my SON, this day have I (FAther) begoten thee? And again, I (The Father) will be to him a FATHER, and he (The Son, Jesus Christ) shall be to me (Father) a SON? HEBREWS 1:5
THERE ARE ONLY THREE THAT BEAR RECORD IN HEAVEN!
FATHER, SON AND HOLY GHOST!
WHY MENTION THE SON, IF THERE IS NO FATHER?
HAPPY THANKSGIVING MERRY CHRISTMAS, HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Pastor Stephen W. Pyle on Revelation 18 - 13 years ago
Jesus is Lord! Baptising them in the name of the Father, of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost!
Let 'us' make man in our own image! Let 'us' go down and confound their language.
Pastor Pyle thinks that we should get back to Revelation 18 instead of Trinity vs. Jesus only!
Happy Thanksgiving!

Umm, actually...Jesus is God.
See Hebrews chapt. 1: "God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, Hath in these last days spoken unto us by [his] Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; Who being the brightness of [his] glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high." God is the Thinker, the Word speaks what God thinks, and His Spirit animates the thought.
Jesus is God who came to earth in the flesh of a man. The reason He came as a man is because the first cowardly man did not intervene for his bride, but blamed her, blamed God for making her, then blamed her again. Jesus stepped in for His Bride, took the blame for us, then took our punishment. He was sinless, born of the Holy Spirit v. male sperm which causes the blood to form in a fertalized ovum. "The life of the flesh is in the blood." He was not created by the male sperm, He is sinless and could not/will not think an errant thought (and thoughts proceed all our actions; our brains [thoughts] tell our right hand what to do, ergo, Jesus sits at the right hand of Power. He is God.
Revelations as a book really takes place in the heavenworlds, with angels, devils, saints, and God its players. Marvelous settings and costumes and thunderous action, riveting, heartstopping battles, and the outcome gratifying, but here in this world this prophesy is still playing out, for God is waiting to see which souls here will prevail, for the struggle exists within each person who is animated wiyhin the vessel of flesh. How much power the devil has usurped, and all are fastenated, all! The balance is tettering this way and that for Jezebell is wickedly good looking and her seductive powers are beyond resisting. What man would not fornicate with her given the chance and those who have are lusting for more! God is waiting to see which souls will love Him instead!
Infallible Message of the 3rd angel on Revelation 18:14 - 13 years ago
What is the reason why would the merchants of the earth weep and mourn over that mighty city? It is because no man would buy their products any more that made them rich.

To Ann Johnson and everyone connected.
REjoyce,if Jesus said he came to do the will of the Father, then where is the Father?
When the rich man came and askED Christ: "Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life. Jesus, replies: "Why do you call me good, The Father is good"...Christ realizes his role as servant and is NOW seated at the right hand of God (The Father) making intercession for us!
God gave HIS only Son, that whosoever believeth on Him has everlasting life. Listen, To Love the Son Jesus Christ is paramount, but we say "OUr Father" which art in Heaven, Hallowed be THY NAME (FATHER), THY (FATHER) kINGDOM COME, THY (FATHER) WILL BE DONE.
CHRIST IS THE SON OF GOD. YES HE IS GOD, THE SON, THERE ARE THREE (NOT ONE) THAT BEAR RECORD IN HEAVEN. LOOK IT UP!
Jesus compared the kingdom of heaven as a vineyard where the Husbandman, (Father) sent different servants and they were killed. He then sends the Son WITH WHOM THE FATHER THOUGHT THEY WOULD REVERENCE, THEY KILLED HIM.
They saID this is the heir, let's kill him. What will the Father do to those wicked men who destroyed his servants and HIS SON?
COME ON NOW, I'LL ADMIT THAT THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH IS GOING TO REAP WHAT IT HAS SOWED. THERE IS ONE TRUE CHURCH AND THEY HAVE MESSED THE WHOLE THING UP, BUT BEFORE THERE WAS A MESSED UP APOSTITIZED CATHOLIC CHURCH, THERE WAS FATHER, SON AND HOLY GHOST! aMEN AND AMEN!
yES INDEED, LET US LOVE JESUS CHRIST, HE IS OUR PROPITIATION FOR SINS. THE BRIDE WILL BE UNITED WITH CHRIST AND WE WILL BE IN HIS PRESENCE FOREVER.
GOD THE FATHER IS A SPIRIT, AND THEY THAT WORSHIP HIM MUST WORSHIP HIM IN SPIRIT AND TRUTH!
DANIEL SEES HIM AS 'SON OF MAN' BEFORE THE ANCIENT OF DAYS IN CHAPTER SEVEN. JOHN THE REVELATOR SEES HIM IN A SIMILAR FASHION IN REVELATION CHAPTER ONE. HE IS THE FULLNESS OF THE GODHEAD B-O-D-I-L-Y.
PAUL TELLS TIMOTHY AND US THAT GOD THE FATHER IS INVISIBLE AND JESUS TELLS THE SAMARITAN WOMAN THAT GOD (FATHER) IS A SPIRIT AND THEY THAT WORSHIP HIM MUST WORSHIP HIM IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH!
THE FATHER, SON AND HOLY GHOST ARE ALL INVISIBLE AT THIS TIME TO US IN THIS VEIL CALLED EARTH. HOWEVER WE FEEL THEIR PRESENCE AND WILL SOON SEE CHRIST, THE EXPRESSED IMAGE OF HIS (FATHER'S) PERSON (FATHER'S IMAGE).
I THINK IT IS AMAZING THAT EVEN WHEN IT COMES TO INTERPRET THE TRUINE GOD HEAD,PEOPLE BECOME VULNERABLE TO UNDERSTANDING THIS EQUATION.
JESUS THOUGHT IT NOT ROBBERY TO BE EQUAL WITH GOD. IN THIS, MANY PERSONS DON'T KNOW HOW TO SEPARATE THE FATHER SON AND HOLY GHOST. IN THEIR INFINITE KNOWLEDGE, WE AS MORTALS CAN'T QUITE GRASP SOME THINGS.
CHRIST MENTIONS THAT HE CAME TO DO THE WILL OF THE FATHER!! LET THIS MIND BE IN YOU THAT IS IN CHRIST JESUS... THERE IS A FATHER, SON AND HOLY GHOST, THESE THREE ARE ONE IN UNITY, HOWEVER THREE DISTINCT PARTS!!!
MAY GOD GIVE US UNDERSTANDING

Saints, Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power. Colossians 2: 8-10 Remember: whosoever hath the Son, hath the Father also. Praise the Name above every Name. Jesus Christ
Dearly Beloved: "Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined (tranliterated: "united") together in the 'same' mind and the 'same' judgment"... 1st Corinthians 1:10....AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To Ann JOhnson and everyone interested!
When examining The Epistle of First John, we read about the Son in over 20 places! Is not it reasonable that if there is a SON, THERE MUST BE A F-A-T-H-E-R? hummmmmmm?
LET 'US' CREATE MAN IN OUR OWN IMAGE! LET 'US' GO DOWN AND CONFOUND THEIR LANGUAGE!
IN THE NAME OF THE 'FATHER', AND THE 'SON' AND THE HOLY GHOST!
BEFORE THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH, THERE WAS STILL THE FATHER, THE SON AND THE HOLY GHOST!
THESE MISGUIDED PEOPLE DON'T NEGATE THE EXISTENCE OF THE TRIUNE GOD-HEAD!
THE VISIBLE NATURE OF GOD IS REVEALED THROUGH HIS SON, AND THE FATHER OR (GOD THE FATHER) IS
I-N-V-I-S-I-B-L-E! HE IS VERY MUCH ALIVE AND SO IS HIS 'ONLY BEGOTTEN OF THE YES, THAT'S RIGHT F-A-T-H-E-R-, FULL OF GRACE AND TRUTH.
WE SHALL SEE JESUS AS HE REALLY AND TRULY IS. HE HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE IMAGE OF THE 'F-A-T-H-E-R!!!!!
We can get to confused and disrespect the FATHER in whom Jesus referred while here on EArth and was 'servant' to the FATHER!
WE NEED TO BE CAREFUL ABOUT NOT UNDERSTANDING THE DIETY OF THE TRIUNE GODHEAD! ALTHOUGH WE'LL NEVER SEE THE F A T H E R VISIBLY, JESUS WILL BE VISIBLE FOR US TO ADORE AND WORSHIP.
GOD THE FATHER WILL BE PLEASED TO REMAIN 'I N V I S I B L E! GOD IS A SPIRT, AND THEY THAT WORHIP HIM MUST WORSHIP IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH, WHETHER WE SEE HIM VISIBLY OR NOT!
YES, JESUS LOVES ME, YES JESUS LOVES ME, YES JESUS LOVES ME, THE BIBLE TELLS ME SO.
GOD IS SO GOOD, GOD IS SO GOOD, GOD IS SO GOOD, HE'S SO GOOD TO ME.
HEAVENLY FATHER WE APPRECIATE YOU, HEAVENLY FATHER WE APPRECIATE YOU, WE LOVE YOU, ADORE YOU, BOW DOWN BEFORE YOU, HEAVENLY FATHER, WE APPRECIATE YOU!
SON OF GOD (JESUS) WE APPRECIATE YOU....HOLY GHOST WE APPRECIATE YOU.....
IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER, THE SON AND THE HOLY GHOST!
A Riddle: Proverbs 30:4----Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is his name,and what is his son's name, if thou canst tell? MATTHEW 11:27 All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father, neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him. Now I ask you, "Has the Son revealed the Father to you?" One Name given whereby we are saved, not three offices. In Christ dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily and we are COMPLETE in Him. He is the Head of all principality and power. Isaiah 41:10,11 "Ye are my witnesses saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me. I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour." WOW! How much plainer can it get? 1 Corinthian 1:24---But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God. Oh, Praise God for the revelation of Jesus Name!
Pastor Stephen W. PYle on Revelation 18 - 13 years ago
Dearly beloved: "What do you think of Jesus? "He's alright! What do you think of Jesus? "He's alright. "In the name of Jesus, In the name of Jesus, we have the victory. In the name of Jesus, in the name of Jesus, satan will have to flee. Who can tell what God (the Father) can do? Who can tell what Hes done for you! In the lovely name of JESUS, we have the victory". At the name of Jesus, every knee shall bow and every tongue confess! We still believe that we should baptize in the "name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost"!
Pastor Stephen W. Pyle on Revelation 18 - 13 years ago
Dearly Beloved: Somehow Revelation 18 has become an interesting study on "Father or Son" baptizing.
If there is a "Son", isn't reasonable to believe that there is a Father? Most 'saved' born again Christians believe in "Our Father, which art in Heaven". What gets me, is how long to we get stuck in this groove of "Jesus" name only?
We shall see Jesus visibly. He looks the same in Daniel chapter 7 as in John's description in Revelation chapter one!
The Roman church has taken all the heat for the trinity explanation. They have blood on their hands. Christ's blood. The true church of Jesus Christ was snuffed out in 325AD when Rome became church and state together.
There are "3" that bear record in Heaven! Three, not "one". The Son is the "only" visible position that we'll see for eternity. Listen, now God the Father is a "Spirit", He is "Invisible" but is JUST AS ALIVE AS HIS VISIBLE SON JESUS CHRIST. IF STEPHEN SAW HIM ON THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD, THEN THERE MUST BE A FATHER! WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT MANISFESTATIONS HERE.
THE HOLY GHOST IS THE SPIRIT OF THE TRIUNE (3 PART GODHEAD). "OUR FATHER, WHICH ART IN HEAVEN'; 'THE SPIRIT OF ADOPTION, WHEREBY WE CRY 'ABBA F A T H E R!!!!!!!
WHOM WAS JESUS PRAYING TO IN JOHN 17? READ IT CAREFULLY! HOW ABOUT IN THE GARDEN OF GETHSEMANE? "FATHER!!!!!!!!! IF IT BE THY WILL, LET THIS CUP PASS FROM ME? NEVERTHE LESS, NOT MY WILL BUT THINE BE DONE, ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN! JESUS TAUGHT HIS DISCIPLES TO PRAY TO THE FATHER, IN THE NAME OF HIS SON, THROUGH THE HOLY GHOST! PRAISE, FATHER, SON, AND HOLY GHOST.
LET US (FATHER, SON, AND HOLY GHOST) MAKE MAN IN OUR OWN IMAGE. LET US (FATHER, SON, AND HOLY GHOST) GO DOWN AND 'CONFOUND' THEIR LANGUAGE; (NIMROD'S TOWER OF BABEL).
JESUS TELLS HIS DISCIPLES IN THE KING JAMES VERSION, BISHOP'S BIBLE, GENEVA BIBLE AND EVERY OTHER TRANSLATION TO GO AND BAPTISE THEM IN THE NAME OF THE 'FATHER' AND OF THE 'SON' AND OF THE HOLY GHOST'. EVERY THING IS DONE IN JESUS NAME, BUT BEFORE JESUS CAME IN BETHLEHEM, GOD THE FATHER MINIFESTED HIMSELF IN SPOKEN WORD: 'I AM THAT I AM'. JESUS WAS THERE ALSO.
OUR PROBLEM IS WE ARE FAILING TO 'RIGHTLY DIVIDE THE WORD OF TRUTH'. THIS THING ISN'T ABOUT DEBATE. CHRIST IS THE 'EXPRESSED' IMAGE OF 'HIS', WHO IS 'HIS'? GOD THE FATHER. JESUS SAID CALL NO MAN RABBI OR FATHER, EXCEPT THE HEAVENLY FATHER. THERE THE RCC HAS MADE AN ETERNAL BOO-BOO!!!
THEY EVEN HAVE THROWN IN THE AUTHORITY OF JESUS' MOTHER MARY TO BOOT! YOU DON'T HAVE FAR TO LOOK FOR FALSE DOCTRINE. IT IS ALL OVER THE PLACE AND MY DEAR SAINTS OF GOD! I TOO AM LOOKING UNTO JESUS THE AUTHOR AND FINISHER OF MY FAITH, BUT HE HAS A F A T H E R. WE SHOULD NOT WORRY ABOUT NOT FAILING TO USE CHRIST IN OUR BAPTISMAL SERVICES, BECAUSE HE IS USED IN THE PHRASE: 'IN THE NAME OF THE 'FATHER', THE NAME OF THE 'SON' (GUESS WHO THE SON IS, YES HIS NAME IS JESUS) AND THE NAME OF THE HOLY GHOST.
GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD, THAT HE (WHO IS 'HE'? THE FATHER!!!!!!! GAVE HIS ONLY SON, THAT WHOSOEVER BELIEVETH IN HIM 'SHOULD' NOT PERISH BUT HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE'. WE SHALL SEE JESUS AS HE REALLY IS.
THE FATHER IS JUST AS MUCH A LIVING DEITY INVISIBLY AS THE SON IS 'VISIBLE'.
DON'T WORRY, IF YOU HAVE JESUS IN YOUR HEART, THAT IS ALL IT TAKES. LET'S GIVE HONOR TO THE FATHER, THE SON AND THE HOLY GHOST, THESE THREE ARE 'ONE'.
WHAT DID SATAN SAY: "IF YOU REALLY ARE THE 'SON' OF GOD (THE FATHER OR COURSE), TURN THESE STONES INTO BREAD. WHOM THEN DID JESUS THE SON SAY WE SHOULD LIVE BY 'EVERY WORD THAT PROCEEDETH OUT OF THE MOUTH OF GOD!
OUR FATHER WHOM ART IN HEAVEN. HALLOWED BE THY NAME. THY KINGDOM COME, THY WILL BE DONE!!! AND SO ON AND SO ON. I DO NOT HAVE ANY PROBLEM WITH IDENIFYING WITH THE TRIUNE GODHEAD. FATHER, SON AND HOLY GHOST.
PRAISE, FATHER, SON, AND HOLY GHOST! AMEN!
IN THE LOVELY NAME OF JESUS! YES! YES!
PASTOR STEPHEN W. PYLE
Pastor Stephen W. Pyle on Revelation 18 - 13 years ago
To Sister Ann Johnson: The exchange of thoughts about the Triune Godhead seem to extend "back and forth". Jesus is the "expressed image of His (the Father's person). He is the "fullness" of the Godhead "bodily". There is no other name given under heaven whereby men may be saved. Jesus proclaimed that before "Abraham was, I am".
If there are three that bear record in Heaven, then why would anyone believe otherwise!. If we don't have the Spirit of Christ, we are not His.
When He says He will confess us before the Father, then if Jesus is "only" where is the FAther. Afterall, "He has not given us the Spirit of Fear, but the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry 'ABBA F A T H E R!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jesus tells the rich man who called Him "Good Master", "why call me good? Only The Father is Good. Of course the word tells us that "He did not consider it robbery to be equal with God". While becoming a servant on earth, He glorified the F A T H E R. GOD THE 'FATHER' IS A SPIRT'...PAUL TELLS TIMOTHY THAT HE IS AN INVISIBLE GOD! CHRIST, HOWEVER IS THE 'VISIBLE' SON OF GOD AND IS OUR LORD AND SAVIOR AND SOON COMING KING! IF YOU HAVE JESUS, THAT'S ALRIGHT WITH ME. BUT WHAT ABOUT: "OUR F A T H E R, WHICH ART IN HEAVEN? ISLAM, ROMAN CATHOLICISM, BUDDAH, HIDUISM, SHI-ITE, HI-VITES, JEBUSITES, MOSQUITO BITES, AND EVERYTHING ELSE WILL PASS AWAY. THE WORD OF GOD WILL ABIDE FOREVER! WHAT ABOUT THE KINGDOM OF 'HIS DEAR SON. WHO IS 'HIS'? THE FATHER!!!!! LADIES AND GENTLEMEN OF THE JURY AND YOUR HONOR ANN JOHNSON, I REST MY CASE IN THE ARMS OF THE FATHER, THE SON AND HIS SWEET HOLY GHOST. A MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL AND GOOOOOOOD NITE. A TRUE CHRISTIAN BELIEVER AND MINISTER OF THE GOSPEL....YOUR SERVANT, PASTOR STEPHEN W. PYLE! OH, HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO ALL MOMS!
Greetings everyone in the Name of Jesus Christ! In Matthew 28:19 our Lord gave the command to the disciples to go baptize in the Name (of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost). To find out how this commandment was carried out, we must search the book of Acts. On the day of Pentcost, Acts 2:37 Baptism was in the Name Of JESUS. This was preached by the Apostle Peter. Acts 8:12-17 the Church at Samaria was established and they were baptised in the Name of Jesus by Philip, another of Christ's diciples. The Church at Caesarea, Acts 10:44-48, baptism was also preformed by Peter in the Name of the Lord, which is Jesus. The Church of Philippi, Acts l6:14,15,also verses 25-34; as also the Church of the Ephesians were baptized by Paul in the Name of Jesus. Acts 18:1-11, Acts 19:1-7Romans 6:3, Acts 22:16 are also examples. Even those that were baptized by John the Baptist, after they received instruction by Apostle Paul were RE-baptized in the Name of Jesus. Now I ask you to answer this question-- Did the Apostles and Disciples of Jesus defy His command to be baptized IN THE NAME of the father,son,and Holy Ghost or were they carrying out His instructions knowing there is only ONE NAME given under heaven whereby ye must be saved? Allow Jesus to take the blinder off your mind and receive this wonderful truth: Jesus is the Name of God (father,son, Holy Ghost) He is the Word made flesh. No more than you can separate your word from who you are, Neither can the ONE GOD separate Himself into three separate Gods. It is One God in three offices---Father, Son, Holy Ghost...OH PRAISE THAT SAVING NAME WHICH REVEALED BY THE ANGEL !!! Read Isaiah 9:6--The prophecy of His Name. GOD CAME WRAPPED IN A NAME IN BETHLEHEM. May the Lord reveal His Truth to you.
Pastor Stephen. W. Pyle on Revelation 18 - 13 years ago
Dearly Beloved: In answer to Ann Johnson's reference to being baptized in the Name of Jesus. We remember Christ's declaration and commission to his disciples in Matthew 28 19 and 20: "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever, I have commanded you: and, lo I am with you alway,even unto the end of the world. Amen."
When Christ was baptized in the river Jordan, there were three persons of the Triune Godhead involved. Christ, the expressed image of His person, and whom dwelt all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. Next was the Holy Spirt descending like a dove, and the voice of the Father who declared: "This is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased. There three distinct persons in the Godhead. The voice of the FATHER was heard; The presence of the Dove or Holy Spirit was involved, and the only begotten Son the the FATHER, full of grace and truth was physically baptized by John in Jordan.
Paul refers to Timothy about the Invisible God. Jesus tells the Samaritan woman that God is a SPIRIT. "For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption whereby we cry, ABBA FATHER!
"And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the FATHER (GOD), JESUS CHRIST (SON), righteous.
Batizing them in the name of the FATHER, AND OF THE SON, AND OF THE HOLY GHOST! This is the biblical reference will use in water baptism.
Rev. Pyle speaks of the Church of God coming out of the Roman system. One of their prominent doctrines is derived from the Catholic Church. The baptism using the titles father,son,and Holy Ghost has it's roots in the Catholic Church. They changed in 325 a.d. the form of baptism from JESUS NAME to the titles. Search history and see if this is true. NO WHERE IN THE BIBLE WAS ANYONE EVER BAPTIZED IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER,SON,AND HOLY GHOST BEING PRONOUNCED OVER THEM. what is that lovely Name by which we are saved? Come out of Catholic doctrine and be baptized in the NAME OF JESUS. I tell you truth. Receive it and obey it.
Pastor Stephen W. Pyle on Revelation 18 - 13 years ago
Dearly Beloved: Throughout the Bible, Babylonianism has surfaced and God shows a great displeasure for the evil influence. Achan's sin by burying the babylonian garment in his tent cost him his life and complete destruction of his household, family and livestock. Babel means confusion. Something I call "Forest Gump" religion means that life (or religioous denominations) is like a box of (assorted) chocolates, "you don't know what you are going to get until you open the box"!
If there was ever a time of "Babel,Babylonain, confusing "chocolate box religion" in our present world it is now! Jezebel, Ahab, and that particular kingdom also provocked Almighty God through their "Babylonian" influenced idol worship.
What caused Israel separation from God, also destroyed the "Holy Spirit's" influence in the Church Jesus Christ organinzed on MT.Hattin in 28 AD. "Jesus tells Peter that the 'Gate's of Hell will not prevail against the CHURCH'. He means just that. Ancient Babylonian-Roman influences still permeate most World Council of Churches worship styles. Two prominate false practices are "Transubstantiation" and "Infant Baptism".
When you throw in Purgatory, Rosarys, Hail Marys, confession booths, and indulgences you take away the Sovereign Word of God which talks about eternal separation from God and the eternal "lake of fire".
Nimrod Semarimus, Tammarz, Ish-tar, and all the superstitious stuff they represent, you understand more about where "The Mother and Child Cult" originated!

Babylon the Great as stated here is not the U.S, neither the ancient City of Babylon.BABYLON THE GREAT HERE IN REVELATION IS SYMBOLICALLY USE TO THE EMPIRE OF FALSE RELIGION.
Revelation was written at the end of the first century C.E and describes events that would reach down to our day. The city of Babylon was taken by the Persians under Cyrus the Great in 539 B.C. Later Alexander the Great planned to make Babylon the capital of his eastern empire, but after his death Babylon gradually lost importance. Today the city (near Baghdad Iraq, is an uninhabited ruin.
In the symbolism of Revelation, Babylon the Great is referred to as a "great city", a "kingdom" that rules other kings.(Rev.17:18) Like city, it would have many organizations within it: and like a kingdom that includes other kings in its domain, it would be in international in scope. It is described as having relations with political rulers and contributing much to the wealth of men in commerce, while itself being a third element that "has become a dwelling place of demons" and a persecutor of "prophets and of holy ones".- Rev.18:2,9-17,24
History of ancient Babylon was outstanding noted for its religion and its defiance of Jehovah God- the God of Hebrew.(see Exodus 6:3 and Psalms 83:18)
At Gen.10:8-10, " Nimrod...displayed himself a mighty hunter in opposition to Jehovah...And the beginning of his kingdom came to Babel [later known as Babylon].
At Daniel 5:22,23- Belshazzar-Babylonian king exalted himself against the Lord of heavens and 'have praised mere gods of silver and of gold," etc...."that are beholding nothing or hearing nothing". but the God who gave breath and everything to Belshazzar , he have not glorified.
Ancient cuneiform inscription reads; "there are Babylon 53 temples of the chief gods,55 chapels of Marduk,300 chapels for the earthly deities, 600 for the heavenly deities, 180 altars for the goddess Ishtar, 180 for the gods Nergal and Adad and 12 other altars for different gods"- Quoted in THE BIBLE AS HISTORY (New York, 1964), W. Keller,p,301.
THE ENCYCLOPEDIA AMERICANA COMMENTS: "Sumerian civilization [which was part of Babylonia] was dominated by priests; at the head of the state was the "LUGAL"(literally 'great man'), the representative of the gods."-(1977).Vol.3,p.9.
REASONABLY, therefore, BABYLON THE GREAT as referred to in REVELATION is RELIGIOUS.Being like a city and an empire, it is not limited to one religious group but includes ALL RELIGIONS that are in OPPOSITION to Jehovah, the true God.
ANCIENT BABYLONIAN RELIGIOUS CONCEPTS AND PRACTICES ARE FOUND IN RELIGIONS WORLDWIDE.
"Egypt, Persia, and Greece felt the influence of the Babylonian religion...The strong admixture of Semitic elements both in early Greek mythology and in Grecian cults is now so generally admitted by scholars as to require no further comments. These Semitic elements are to a large extent more specifically Babylonian."- THE RELIGION OF BABYLONIA AND ASSYRIA (Boston, 1898) M. Jastrow, Jr.pp699,700.
THEIR GODS: There were triads of gods, and among their divinities were those representing various forces of nature and ones that exercised special influence in certain activities of mankind. (Babylonian and Assyrian Religion, Norman, Okla.; 1963, S.H.Hooke,pp.14-40).
" The PLATONIC TRINITY, itself merley a rearrangement of older trinities dating back to earlier peoples, appears to be the rational philosophic trinity of attributes that gave birth to the three hypostases or divine persons taught by the Christian Churches... This Greek philosopher's [PLATO] conception of trinity...can be found in all the ancients [pagan] religions."- Nouvea Dictionnaire Universe (Paris, 1865-1870), edited by M.Lachatre, Vol 2,p.1467
USE OF IMAGES: [In Mesopotamian religion} the role of the image was central in the cult as well as in private worship, as the wide distribution of cheap replicas of such images shows. Fundamentally, the deity was considered present in its image if it showed certain specific features and paraphernalia and was cared for in the appropriate manner."- Ancient Mesopotamia-Portrait of a Dead Civilization ( Chicago, 1964), A.L. Oppenheim,p.184
POSITION OF THE PRIESTHOOD; "The distinction between priest and layman is characteristic of this [Bayblonian} religion."- Encyclopedia Britannica (1948),Vol 2,p.861
BELIEF REGARDING DEATH; "Neither the people nor the leaders of religious thought [in Babylon] ever faced the possibility of the total annihilation of what once was called into existence. Death was a passage to another kind of life."- The Religion of babylonia and Assyria,p.556.
PRACTICE OF ASTROLOGY,DIVINATION,MAGIC,AND SORCERY: Historian A.H. Sayce writes: " In the religion of ancient Babylonnia...every objecy of force of nature was supposed to have its "zi" or spirit, who could be controlled by the magical exorcisms of the Shaman, or sorcere-priest." "The Chaldeans{Babylonians} made great progress in the study of astrology through an effort to discover the future in the stars. This art we call 'astrology."-says The Dawn of Civilization and Life in the Ancient East.
BABYLON THE GREAT IS LIKE AN IMMORTAL HARLOT, ONE LIVING IN SHAMELESS LUXURY;
Rev.17:1-5 says, "Come hither; "I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters[means PEOPLES]:With whom the kings [means political leaders] of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication. ...And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. Rev. 18:7 adds that "she glorified herself and lived in shameless luxury."
*It is true that the dominant religious organizations have made it a practice to consort with political rulers for power and material gain, though this has resulted in suffering for the common people? Is it not also true that their higher clergy live in luxury, even though many of the people to whom they should minister may be impoverished?
WHY CAN RELIGIONS THAT PROFESS TO BE CHRISTIAN PROPERLY BE VIEWED AS A PART OF BABYLONIAN THE GREAT HARLOT, ALONG WITH THOSE WHO KNOW NOTHING OF THE GOD OF THE BIBLE?
JAMES 4:4 (please read the verse in your copy). So though they know what the Bible says about God, they make themselves enemies of God if they CHOOSE friendship with the world by imitating its ways.)
Also at 2 Corinthians 4:4; 11:14,15 (read in your copy) The god of this world is Satan and "Satan keeps on transforming himself into an angel of light" and so Satan's ministers also transforming themselves as ministers of righteousness... THUS< JEHOVAH"S chief adversary, Satan the Devil himself, is really being honored by all who do not worship the true God in the manner that He has appointed, even though they may claim to be Christian. See also 1 Cor.10:20 and Matthew 7:21-23
THERE IS AN URGENT NEED TO GET OUT OF BABYLON THE GREAT WITHOUT DELAY:
Just as Rev.18:4,21 then compare Luke 21:36, (anyone serious of worshiping God of the Bible in spirit and truth) or people of God must get out of Babylonian type worship as NOT to receive the PLAGUES for her.
WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO PEOPLE WHO DO NOT KNOW THE BIBLE TRUTH BUT LIVED AND DIED IN THE PAST AS PART OF BABYLON THE GREAT?
ACTS 17:30 SAYS: "And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:
I just recently read Revelations for the first time. Here are [my] thoughts about Babylon.
Babylon is our monetary system. See those dollars in your wallet? It doesn't belong to you. It's debt(loanership) It belongs to them.
The Federal Reserve is a privately owned bank. The dollar is the world's reserve currency.
This December 23rd, 2013 marks their 100 year anniversary. Bye, bye almighty dollar. For many people see you, paper with numbers, more than what you are. You have aided both sides of many wars.
Btw, don't believe what I say. Read the bible yourself and make your own conclusion.
In response to "Is Babylon the U.S.? My logical thoughts without an indepth study; The "mother of harlots" indicates an organization that has offspring organizations who also practice whoredom. Therefore something established, that participates in intimacy and satisfaction that belongs only to the committed legal spouse. Romans 7:4 states, we are married to Him who was raised from the dead. Any organization that claims to be a link or system to connect believers to God, thereby robbing Jesus of glory that belongs only to Him, may be functioning out of order, like an illicit relationship. Lets keep our focus on Jesus and beware of religion.
Dearly Beloved: Come out of her my people is very urgent! Simply because God's people cannot be entangled with Romanism. All efforts made by Huss, Luther, Wesley, Zwingly, Calvin have only produced portions of the "Faith that was once delivered unto the Saints".
The Church of God groups based in Cleveland TN have done much to bring us to the revelation of the True Church of Jesus Christ based on the rediscovery of the Apostolic foundation. When we hear about Ecumentical unity we must be careful not to let down our guard. Many of the formal reform groups such as Methodists, Presbyterians, Baptists, Lutherans, Episcopals, Nazarenes, and not to mention the cult groups: Mormanism, Jehovah Witnesses, Adventists, Scientology, and every other "ism", still have traces of Roman error within them and have not fully surrenderd to the Wesley Pentecostal Holiness Standard that teaches us Grace is not cheap and a license to sin anytime you want to!
Jesus prayed for a sanctified, truthful unity in John 17. He is going to have a Glorius Church without Spot or wrinkle, not one that is guilty of the Blood of the saints and martyrs of Jesus.
We have come to a point "Cleveland" Church of God groups: Church of God of Prophecy, Church of God, Zion Assembly Church of God, Jerusalem Acres-Church of God of the Nations, and The Church of God "concerned" group: We must come together as "one" in Christ and offset what the Mother Harlot Church (headquartered in the Vatican) is doing. What did we "reform" ourselves from? Jesus Christ is "The Way, The Truth, and The Life!
SPIRIT AND TRUTH IS WHAT CHRIST IS CALLING US TODAY TO DO! COME OUT OF HER MY PEOPLE! HE THAT HAS AN EAR, LET HIM HEAR WHAT THE SPIRIT IS SAYING UNTO THE CHURCHES! COME OUT OF HER. CHURCH OF GOD GROUPS: 'STOP FIGHTING AMONG OURSELVES AND BE THAT EXCLUSIVE COVENANT PEOPLE GOD HAS CALLED US TO BE.
"For the mystery of Iniquity doth already work: only He (The Holy Spirit) who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. And then that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming"; 2nd Thessalonians 2:7-8).
Judgment does first begin at the house of God and so will pure devine Unity of believers into one body!!!

To me this is speaking in the day in which we are living. So many unclean spirits, gods from mans wicked imagination, and the hate is growing stronger against the christian name.
I don't want to live deliciously (luxuriously;
self-indulging, excessive gratifying of lust).
( Revelation 18:9)
I don't want to be made rich by having ships in the sea of costliness. ( Revelation 18:11-19)
I guess I'm in verse 20 ( Revelation 18:20).
AS the Godhead soap opera CONTINUES as to whom the Bible declares as Lord of all: Threesome, twosome, or Jesus only!
Once again here is indication of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost! God the Father is invisible (FAther 1st Timothy 1:17); "For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my SON, this day have I (FAther) begoten thee? And again, I (The Father) will be to him a FATHER, and he (The Son, Jesus Christ) shall be to me (Father) a SON? HEBREWS 1:5
THERE ARE ONLY THREE THAT BEAR RECORD IN HEAVEN!
FATHER, SON AND HOLY GHOST!
WHY MENTION THE SON, IF THERE IS NO FATHER?

See Hebrews chapt. 1: "God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, Hath in these last days spoken unto us by [his] Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; Who being the brightness of [his] glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high." God is the Thinker, the Word speaks what God thinks, and His Spirit animates the thought.
Jesus is God who came to earth in the flesh of a man. The reason He came as a man is because the first cowardly man did not intervene for his bride, but blamed her, blamed God for making her, then blamed her again. Jesus stepped in for His Bride, took the blame for us, then took our punishment. He was sinless, born of the Holy Spirit v. male sperm which causes the blood to form in a fertalized ovum. "The life of the flesh is in the blood." He was not created by the male sperm, He is sinless and could not/will not think an errant thought (and thoughts proceed all our actions; our brains [thoughts] tell our right hand what to do, ergo, Jesus sits at the right hand of Power. He is God.
REjoyce,if Jesus said he came to do the will of the Father, then where is the Father?
When the rich man came and askED Christ: "Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life. Jesus, replies: "Why do you call me good, The Father is good"...Christ realizes his role as servant and is NOW seated at the right hand of God (The Father) making intercession for us!
God gave HIS only Son, that whosoever believeth on Him has everlasting life. Listen, To Love the Son Jesus Christ is paramount, but we say "OUr Father" which art in Heaven, Hallowed be THY NAME (FATHER), THY (FATHER) kINGDOM COME, THY (FATHER) WILL BE DONE.
CHRIST IS THE SON OF GOD. YES HE IS GOD, THE SON, THERE ARE THREE (NOT ONE) THAT BEAR RECORD IN HEAVEN. LOOK IT UP!
Jesus compared the kingdom of heaven as a vineyard where the Husbandman, (Father) sent different servants and they were killed. He then sends the Son WITH WHOM THE FATHER THOUGHT THEY WOULD REVERENCE, THEY KILLED HIM.
They saID this is the heir, let's kill him. What will the Father do to those wicked men who destroyed his servants and HIS SON?
COME ON NOW, I'LL ADMIT THAT THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH IS GOING TO REAP WHAT IT HAS SOWED. THERE IS ONE TRUE CHURCH AND THEY HAVE MESSED THE WHOLE THING UP, BUT BEFORE THERE WAS A MESSED UP APOSTITIZED CATHOLIC CHURCH, THERE WAS FATHER, SON AND HOLY GHOST! aMEN AND AMEN!
yES INDEED, LET US LOVE JESUS CHRIST, HE IS OUR PROPITIATION FOR SINS. THE BRIDE WILL BE UNITED WITH CHRIST AND WE WILL BE IN HIS PRESENCE FOREVER.
GOD THE FATHER IS A SPIRIT, AND THEY THAT WORSHIP HIM MUST WORSHIP HIM IN SPIRIT AND TRUTH!
DANIEL SEES HIM AS 'SON OF MAN' BEFORE THE ANCIENT OF DAYS IN CHAPTER SEVEN. JOHN THE REVELATOR SEES HIM IN A SIMILAR FASHION IN REVELATION CHAPTER ONE. HE IS THE FULLNESS OF THE GODHEAD B-O-D-I-L-Y.
PAUL TELLS TIMOTHY AND US THAT GOD THE FATHER IS INVISIBLE AND JESUS TELLS THE SAMARITAN WOMAN THAT GOD (FATHER) IS A SPIRIT AND THEY THAT WORSHIP HIM MUST WORSHIP HIM IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH!
THE FATHER, SON AND HOLY GHOST ARE ALL INVISIBLE AT THIS TIME TO US IN THIS VEIL CALLED EARTH. HOWEVER WE FEEL THEIR PRESENCE AND WILL SOON SEE CHRIST, THE EXPRESSED IMAGE OF HIS (FATHER'S) PERSON (FATHER'S IMAGE).
I THINK IT IS AMAZING THAT EVEN WHEN IT COMES TO INTERPRET THE TRUINE GOD HEAD,PEOPLE BECOME VULNERABLE TO UNDERSTANDING THIS EQUATION.
JESUS THOUGHT IT NOT ROBBERY TO BE EQUAL WITH GOD. IN THIS, MANY PERSONS DON'T KNOW HOW TO SEPARATE THE FATHER SON AND HOLY GHOST. IN THEIR INFINITE KNOWLEDGE, WE AS MORTALS CAN'T QUITE GRASP SOME THINGS.
CHRIST MENTIONS THAT HE CAME TO DO THE WILL OF THE FATHER!! LET THIS MIND BE IN YOU THAT IS IN CHRIST JESUS... THERE IS A FATHER, SON AND HOLY GHOST, THESE THREE ARE ONE IN UNITY, HOWEVER THREE DISTINCT PARTS!!!
MAY GOD GIVE US UNDERSTANDING

When examining The Epistle of First John, we read about the Son in over 20 places! Is not it reasonable that if there is a SON, THERE MUST BE A F-A-T-H-E-R? hummmmmmm?
LET 'US' CREATE MAN IN OUR OWN IMAGE! LET 'US' GO DOWN AND CONFOUND THEIR LANGUAGE!
IN THE NAME OF THE 'FATHER', AND THE 'SON' AND THE HOLY GHOST!
BEFORE THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH, THERE WAS STILL THE FATHER, THE SON AND THE HOLY GHOST!
THESE MISGUIDED PEOPLE DON'T NEGATE THE EXISTENCE OF THE TRIUNE GOD-HEAD!
THE VISIBLE NATURE OF GOD IS REVEALED THROUGH HIS SON, AND THE FATHER OR (GOD THE FATHER) IS
I-N-V-I-S-I-B-L-E! HE IS VERY MUCH ALIVE AND SO IS HIS 'ONLY BEGOTTEN OF THE YES, THAT'S RIGHT F-A-T-H-E-R-, FULL OF GRACE AND TRUTH.
WE SHALL SEE JESUS AS HE REALLY AND TRULY IS. HE HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE IMAGE OF THE 'F-A-T-H-E-R!!!!!
We can get to confused and disrespect the FATHER in whom Jesus referred while here on EArth and was 'servant' to the FATHER!
WE NEED TO BE CAREFUL ABOUT NOT UNDERSTANDING THE DIETY OF THE TRIUNE GODHEAD! ALTHOUGH WE'LL NEVER SEE THE F A T H E R VISIBLY, JESUS WILL BE VISIBLE FOR US TO ADORE AND WORSHIP.
GOD THE FATHER WILL BE PLEASED TO REMAIN 'I N V I S I B L E! GOD IS A SPIRT, AND THEY THAT WORHIP HIM MUST WORSHIP IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH, WHETHER WE SEE HIM VISIBLY OR NOT!
YES, JESUS LOVES ME, YES JESUS LOVES ME, YES JESUS LOVES ME, THE BIBLE TELLS ME SO.
GOD IS SO GOOD, GOD IS SO GOOD, GOD IS SO GOOD, HE'S SO GOOD TO ME.

If there is a "Son", isn't reasonable to believe that there is a Father? Most 'saved' born again Christians believe in "Our Father, which art in Heaven". What gets me, is how long to we get stuck in this groove of "Jesus" name only?
We shall see Jesus visibly. He looks the same in Daniel chapter 7 as in John's description in Revelation chapter one!
The Roman church has taken all the heat for the trinity explanation. They have blood on their hands. Christ's blood. The true church of Jesus Christ was snuffed out in 325AD when Rome became church and state together.
There are "3" that bear record in Heaven! Three, not "one". The Son is the "only" visible position that we'll see for eternity. Listen, now God the Father is a "Spirit", He is "Invisible" but is JUST AS ALIVE AS HIS VISIBLE SON JESUS CHRIST. IF STEPHEN SAW HIM ON THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD, THEN THERE MUST BE A FATHER! WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT MANISFESTATIONS HERE.
THE HOLY GHOST IS THE SPIRIT OF THE TRIUNE (3 PART GODHEAD). "OUR FATHER, WHICH ART IN HEAVEN'; 'THE SPIRIT OF ADOPTION, WHEREBY WE CRY 'ABBA F A T H E R!!!!!!!
WHOM WAS JESUS PRAYING TO IN JOHN 17? READ IT CAREFULLY! HOW ABOUT IN THE GARDEN OF GETHSEMANE? "FATHER!!!!!!!!! IF IT BE THY WILL, LET THIS CUP PASS FROM ME? NEVERTHE LESS, NOT MY WILL BUT THINE BE DONE, ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN! JESUS TAUGHT HIS DISCIPLES TO PRAY TO THE FATHER, IN THE NAME OF HIS SON, THROUGH THE HOLY GHOST! PRAISE, FATHER, SON, AND HOLY GHOST.
LET US (FATHER, SON, AND HOLY GHOST) MAKE MAN IN OUR OWN IMAGE. LET US (FATHER, SON, AND HOLY GHOST) GO DOWN AND 'CONFOUND' THEIR LANGUAGE; (NIMROD'S TOWER OF BABEL).
JESUS TELLS HIS DISCIPLES IN THE KING JAMES VERSION, BISHOP'S BIBLE, GENEVA BIBLE AND EVERY OTHER TRANSLATION TO GO AND BAPTISE THEM IN THE NAME OF THE 'FATHER' AND OF THE 'SON' AND OF THE HOLY GHOST'. EVERY THING IS DONE IN JESUS NAME, BUT BEFORE JESUS CAME IN BETHLEHEM, GOD THE FATHER MINIFESTED HIMSELF IN SPOKEN WORD: 'I AM THAT I AM'. JESUS WAS THERE ALSO.
OUR PROBLEM IS WE ARE FAILING TO 'RIGHTLY DIVIDE THE WORD OF TRUTH'. THIS THING ISN'T ABOUT DEBATE. CHRIST IS THE 'EXPRESSED' IMAGE OF 'HIS', WHO IS 'HIS'? GOD THE FATHER. JESUS SAID CALL NO MAN RABBI OR FATHER, EXCEPT THE HEAVENLY FATHER. THERE THE RCC HAS MADE AN ETERNAL BOO-BOO!!!
THEY EVEN HAVE THROWN IN THE AUTHORITY OF JESUS' MOTHER MARY TO BOOT! YOU DON'T HAVE FAR TO LOOK FOR FALSE DOCTRINE. IT IS ALL OVER THE PLACE AND MY DEAR SAINTS OF GOD! I TOO AM LOOKING UNTO JESUS THE AUTHOR AND FINISHER OF MY FAITH, BUT HE HAS A F A T H E R. WE SHOULD NOT WORRY ABOUT NOT FAILING TO USE CHRIST IN OUR BAPTISMAL SERVICES, BECAUSE HE IS USED IN THE PHRASE: 'IN THE NAME OF THE 'FATHER', THE NAME OF THE 'SON' (GUESS WHO THE SON IS, YES HIS NAME IS JESUS) AND THE NAME OF THE HOLY GHOST.
GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD, THAT HE (WHO IS 'HE'? THE FATHER!!!!!!! GAVE HIS ONLY SON, THAT WHOSOEVER BELIEVETH IN HIM 'SHOULD' NOT PERISH BUT HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE'. WE SHALL SEE JESUS AS HE REALLY IS.
THE FATHER IS JUST AS MUCH A LIVING DEITY INVISIBLY AS THE SON IS 'VISIBLE'.
DON'T WORRY, IF YOU HAVE JESUS IN YOUR HEART, THAT IS ALL IT TAKES. LET'S GIVE HONOR TO THE FATHER, THE SON AND THE HOLY GHOST, THESE THREE ARE 'ONE'.
WHAT DID SATAN SAY: "IF YOU REALLY ARE THE 'SON' OF GOD (THE FATHER OR COURSE), TURN THESE STONES INTO BREAD. WHOM THEN DID JESUS THE SON SAY WE SHOULD LIVE BY 'EVERY WORD THAT PROCEEDETH OUT OF THE MOUTH OF GOD!
OUR FATHER WHOM ART IN HEAVEN. HALLOWED BE THY NAME. THY KINGDOM COME, THY WILL BE DONE!!! AND SO ON AND SO ON. I DO NOT HAVE ANY PROBLEM WITH IDENIFYING WITH THE TRIUNE GODHEAD. FATHER, SON AND HOLY GHOST.
PRAISE, FATHER, SON, AND HOLY GHOST! AMEN!
IN THE LOVELY NAME OF JESUS! YES! YES!

If there are three that bear record in Heaven, then why would anyone believe otherwise!. If we don't have the Spirit of Christ, we are not His.
When He says He will confess us before the Father, then if Jesus is "only" where is the FAther. Afterall, "He has not given us the Spirit of Fear, but the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry 'ABBA F A T H E R!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jesus tells the rich man who called Him "Good Master", "why call me good? Only The Father is Good. Of course the word tells us that "He did not consider it robbery to be equal with God". While becoming a servant on earth, He glorified the F A T H E R. GOD THE 'FATHER' IS A SPIRT'...PAUL TELLS TIMOTHY THAT HE IS AN INVISIBLE GOD! CHRIST, HOWEVER IS THE 'VISIBLE' SON OF GOD AND IS OUR LORD AND SAVIOR AND SOON COMING KING! IF YOU HAVE JESUS, THAT'S ALRIGHT WITH ME. BUT WHAT ABOUT: "OUR F A T H E R, WHICH ART IN HEAVEN? ISLAM, ROMAN CATHOLICISM, BUDDAH, HIDUISM, SHI-ITE, HI-VITES, JEBUSITES, MOSQUITO BITES, AND EVERYTHING ELSE WILL PASS AWAY. THE WORD OF GOD WILL ABIDE FOREVER!

When Christ was baptized in the river Jordan, there were three persons of the Triune Godhead involved. Christ, the expressed image of His person, and whom dwelt all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. Next was the Holy Spirt descending like a dove, and the voice of the Father who declared: "This is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased. There three distinct persons in the Godhead. The voice of the FATHER was heard; The presence of the Dove or Holy Spirit was involved, and the only begotten Son the the FATHER, full of grace and truth was physically baptized by John in Jordan.
Paul refers to Timothy about the Invisible God. Jesus tells the Samaritan woman that God is a SPIRIT. "For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption whereby we cry, ABBA FATHER!
"And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the FATHER (GOD), JESUS CHRIST (SON), righteous.
Batizing them in the name of the FATHER, AND OF THE SON, AND OF THE HOLY GHOST! This is the biblical reference will use in water baptism.

If there was ever a time of "Babel,Babylonain, confusing "chocolate box religion" in our present world it is now! Jezebel, Ahab, and that particular kingdom also provocked Almighty God through their "Babylonian" influenced idol worship.
What caused Israel separation from God, also destroyed the "Holy Spirit's" influence in the Church Jesus Christ organinzed on MT.Hattin in 28 AD. "Jesus tells Peter that the 'Gate's of Hell will not prevail against the CHURCH'. He means just that. Ancient Babylonian-Roman influences still permeate most World Council of Churches worship styles. Two prominate false practices are "Transubstantiation" and "Infant Baptism".
When you throw in Purgatory, Rosarys, Hail Marys, confession booths, and indulgences you take away the Sovereign Word of God which talks about eternal separation from God and the eternal "lake of fire".
Nimrod Semarimus, Tammarz, Ish-tar, and all the superstitious stuff they represent, you understand more about where "The Mother and Child Cult" originated!

Revelation was written at the end of the first century C.E and describes events that would reach down to our day. The city of Babylon was taken by the Persians under Cyrus the Great in 539 B.C. Later Alexander the Great planned to make Babylon the capital of his eastern empire, but after his death Babylon gradually lost importance. Today the city (near Baghdad Iraq, is an uninhabited ruin.
In the symbolism of Revelation, Babylon the Great is referred to as a "great city", a "kingdom" that rules other kings.(Rev.17:18) Like city, it would have many organizations within it: and like a kingdom that includes other kings in its domain, it would be in international in scope. It is described as having relations with political rulers and contributing much to the wealth of men in commerce, while itself being a third element that "has become a dwelling place of demons" and a persecutor of "prophets and of holy ones".- Rev.18:2,9-17,24
History of ancient Babylon was outstanding noted for its religion and its defiance of Jehovah God- the God of Hebrew.(see Exodus 6:3 and Psalms 83:18)
At Gen.10:8-10, " Nimrod...displayed himself a mighty hunter in opposition to Jehovah...And the beginning of his kingdom came to Babel [later known as Babylon].
At Daniel 5:22,23- Belshazzar-Babylonian king exalted himself against the Lord of heavens and 'have praised mere gods of silver and of gold," etc...."that are beholding nothing or hearing nothing". but the God who gave breath and everything to Belshazzar , he have not glorified.
Ancient cuneiform inscription reads; "there are Babylon 53 temples of the chief gods,55 chapels of Marduk,300 chapels for the earthly deities, 600 for the heavenly deities, 180 altars for the goddess Ishtar, 180 for the gods Nergal and Adad and 12 other altars for different gods"- Quoted in THE BIBLE AS HISTORY (New York, 1964), W. Keller,p,301.
THE ENCYCLOPEDIA AMERICANA COMMENTS: "Sumerian civilization [which was part of Babylonia] was dominated by priests; at the head of the state was the "LUGAL"(literally 'great man'), the representative of the gods."-(1977).Vol.3,p.9.
REASONABLY, therefore, BABYLON THE GREAT as referred to in REVELATION is RELIGIOUS.Being like a city and an empire, it is not limited to one religious group but includes ALL RELIGIONS that are in OPPOSITION to Jehovah, the true God.
ANCIENT BABYLONIAN RELIGIOUS CONCEPTS AND PRACTICES ARE FOUND IN RELIGIONS WORLDWIDE.
"Egypt, Persia, and Greece felt the influence of the Babylonian religion...The strong admixture of Semitic elements both in early Greek mythology and in Grecian cults is now so generally admitted by scholars as to require no further comments. These Semitic elements are to a large extent more specifically Babylonian."- THE RELIGION OF BABYLONIA AND ASSYRIA (Boston, 1898) M. Jastrow, Jr.pp699,700.
THEIR GODS: There were triads of gods, and among their divinities were those representing various forces of nature and ones that exercised special influence in certain activities of mankind. (Babylonian and Assyrian Religion, Norman, Okla.; 1963, S.H.Hooke,pp.14-40).
" The PLATONIC TRINITY, itself merley a rearrangement of older trinities dating back to earlier peoples, appears to be the rational philosophic trinity of attributes that gave birth to the three hypostases or divine persons taught by the Christian Churches... This Greek philosopher's [PLATO] conception of trinity...can be found in all the ancients [pagan] religions."- Nouvea Dictionnaire Universe (Paris, 1865-1870), edited by M.Lachatre, Vol 2,p.1467
USE OF IMAGES: [In Mesopotamian religion} the role of the image was central in the cult as well as in private worship, as the wide distribution of cheap replicas of such images shows. Fundamentally, the deity was considered present in its image if it showed certain specific features and paraphernalia and was cared for in the appropriate manner."- Ancient Mesopotamia-Portrait of a Dead Civilization ( Chicago, 1964), A.L. Oppenheim,p.184
POSITION OF THE PRIESTHOOD; "The distinction between priest and layman is characteristic of this [Bayblonian} religion."- Encyclopedia Britannica (1948),Vol 2,p.861
BELIEF REGARDING DEATH; "Neither the people nor the leaders of religious thought [in Babylon] ever faced the possibility of the total annihilation of what once was called into existence. Death was a passage to another kind of life."- The Religion of babylonia and Assyria,p.556.
PRACTICE OF ASTROLOGY,DIVINATION,MAGIC,AND SORCERY: Historian A.H. Sayce writes: " In the religion of ancient Babylonnia...every objecy of force of nature was supposed to have its "zi" or spirit, who could be controlled by the magical exorcisms of the Shaman, or sorcere-priest." "The Chaldeans{Babylonians} made great progress in the study of astrology through an effort to discover the future in the stars. This art we call 'astrology."-says The Dawn of Civilization and Life in the Ancient East.
BABYLON THE GREAT IS LIKE AN IMMORTAL HARLOT, ONE LIVING IN SHAMELESS LUXURY;
Rev.17:1-5 says, "Come hither; "I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters[means PEOPLES]:With whom the kings [means political leaders] of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication. ...And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. Rev. 18:7 adds that "she glorified herself and lived in shameless luxury."
*It is true that the dominant religious organizations have made it a practice to consort with political rulers for power and material gain, though this has resulted in suffering for the common people? Is it not also true that their higher clergy live in luxury, even though many of the people to whom they should minister may be impoverished?
WHY CAN RELIGIONS THAT PROFESS TO BE CHRISTIAN PROPERLY BE VIEWED AS A PART OF BABYLONIAN THE GREAT HARLOT, ALONG WITH THOSE WHO KNOW NOTHING OF THE GOD OF THE BIBLE?
JAMES 4:4 (please read the verse in your copy). So though they know what the Bible says about God, they make themselves enemies of God if they CHOOSE friendship with the world by imitating its ways.)
Also at 2 Corinthians 4:4; 11:14,15 (read in your copy) The god of this world is Satan and "Satan keeps on transforming himself into an angel of light" and so Satan's ministers also transforming themselves as ministers of righteousness... THUS< JEHOVAH"S chief adversary, Satan the Devil himself, is really being honored by all who do not worship the true God in the manner that He has appointed, even though they may claim to be Christian. See also 1 Cor.10:20 and Matthew 7:21-23
THERE IS AN URGENT NEED TO GET OUT OF BABYLON THE GREAT WITHOUT DELAY:
Just as Rev.18:4,21 then compare Luke 21:36, (anyone serious of worshiping God of the Bible in spirit and truth) or people of God must get out of Babylonian type worship as NOT to receive the PLAGUES for her.
WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO PEOPLE WHO DO NOT KNOW THE BIBLE TRUTH BUT LIVED AND DIED IN THE PAST AS PART OF BABYLON THE GREAT?
ACTS 17:30 SAYS: "And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:
Also read Acts 24:15 and Job 34:12.
Babylon is our monetary system. See those dollars in your wallet? It doesn't belong to you. It's debt(loanership) It belongs to them.
The Federal Reserve is a privately owned bank. The dollar is the world's reserve currency.
This December 23rd, 2013 marks their 100 year anniversary. Bye, bye almighty dollar. For many people see you, paper with numbers, more than what you are. You have aided both sides of many wars.
Btw, don't believe what I say. Read the bible yourself and make your own conclusion.
