The traditional protestant view that the catholic organization is the woman of Rev 17

[Jan001]

I'd be willing to debate this topic using Scripture and Jewish writings.

 

[Jan001]

Read the book The Two Babylons. "Because of your traditions you have made void the word of God" "An elder should be the husband of one wife" <NOT celibate> "Call no man on earth your father" "There is <only> one mediator between God and man, Jesus Christ"
The mother of the harlots sits on the city of 7 hills: Rome. Her harlot daughters inherited all they have from their mother: divisive teachings dividing themselves from other believers; and the clergy-laity system. What other mixed system has a number of genuine believers in it?

It is easy to see who the harlot of Babylon is just by looking at Scripture.

[FONT=&quot]Revelation 17:3[/FONT][FONT=&quot] “I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast ……. 6 I saw the woman, drunk with the blood of the saints and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. ……..[/FONT]12 And the woman whom you saw is that great city …….NKJV


Revelation 16:6 “Because You have judged these things. 6 For they [Jerusalem's Jews] have shed the blood of saints and prophets, And You have given them blood to drink……..19 Now the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell. And great Babylon was remembered before God, to give her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of His wrath.” NKJV


[FONT=&quot]Revelation 11:8 “[/FONT][FONT=&quot]And their dead bodies will lie in the street of the great city which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.” NKJV[/FONT]

Jesus Christ was crucified in the great city, Jerusalem.


Jerusalem's Jews martyr Saint Stephen by stoning him:

Acts 7:57-59 “Then they cried out with a loud voice, stopped their ears, and ran at him with one accord; 58 and they cast him out of the city and stoned him. And the witnesses laid down their clothes at the feet of a young man named Saul. 59 And they stoned Stephen as he was calling on God and saying, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.” NKJV


Jerusalem's Jews attempt to stone the prophet Jesus:


[FONT=&quot]John 11:8[/FONT][FONT=&quot] “The[/FONT][FONT=&quot] disciples said to Him, “Rabbi, lately the Jews sought to stone You, and are You going there again?” NKJV[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
The prophets including Jesus are murdered in Jerusalem:


Luke 13:33-34 “Nevertheless I[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]must journey today, tomorrow, and the day following; for it cannot be that a prophet should perish outside of Jerusalem.[FONT=&quot]”[/FONT] 34 “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, but you were not willing![FONT=&quot]” NKJV[/FONT]

Matthew 23:29-36 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because you build the tombs of the prophets and adorn the monuments of the righteous, 30 and say, ‘If we had lived in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.’[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]31 “Therefore you are witnesses against yourselves that you are sons of those who murdered the prophets. 32 Fill up, then, the measure of your fathers’ guilt. 33 Serpents, brood of vipers! How can you escape the condemnation of hell? 34 Therefore, indeed, I send you prophets, wise men, and scribes: some of them you will kill and crucify, and some of them you will scourge in your synagogues and persecute from city to city,35 that on you may come all the righteous blood shed on the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah, son of Berechiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar.36 Assuredly, I say to you, all these things will come upon this generation.[FONT=&quot]” [/FONT][FONT=&quot]NKJV[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]
Luke 21:5-6 “Then, as some spoke of the temple, how it was adorned with beautiful stones and donations, He said, 6 [FONT=&quot]“These things which you see—the days will come in which not one stone shall be left upon another that shall not be thrown down.” NKJV[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]The harlot of Babylon was the great city, Jerusalem. She was drunk with the blood of the saints and martyrs and prophets and she crucified her own Messiah. She shed the blood of the saints and prophets. Jerusalem, the harlot, and her temple were destroyed in 70 A.D. in “this generation” as Jesus prophesied.[/FONT]
