I have nothing against church, in fact I have been to a few
churches with sound doctrine who do not equated them selves
with religion.

The ones I support are those who do not collect tithes and they
do not spend an hour twisting a scripture around to convince you
that it does not say what they know you think it says.

The churches set up after the rule of Constantine are a far cry
from the ones that Peter and the other apostles set up, the believers
Who wanted to become part of the church sold what they had and laid
the proceeds at the apostles feet.

These people became the church, they gave of them selves twenty four
hours a day, there were also many believers who did not join the
church.

I have no doubt that during the holy Roman empire there were many kings
and pay who were above board and also Durning the Reformation there were
sincere people involved but also have no doubt that the real goal became
power.

God has used these religious organizations to spread his gospel to the
world at their will or against it, a little truth here and a little there.

The seventh king was the holy Roman empire who lost hold of her empire in
the mid 1600s but although this seventh beast was wounded by the sword it
did live to become the great whore that sitteth on many waters, the Catholic
church is every where, all of the protestant religions came from the
Catholics.

In rev18:4 God tells his people to come out of her and be not partakers
of her sins.

What would God be telling his people to come out of?, the only place God would
have to tell his people to come out of would be some place where they mistakingly
thought they should be but should not be.

What good things did Jesus say about religion?oh ????????, what bad things did
Jesus say about religion?

There is verse after verse after which Jesus told the religious leaders they were the sons of
their father the devil, it did not change Satan is the ruler of this world and
religion is of this world.

God’s people will come out of these religious systems.

Revelation taken out of context.
