All wrong! Except for the Eze 16 part. That was about Israel after Solomon let all his 700 wives build altars in Israel and sacrifice his children to Baal and Moloch.

The Revelation part was a city on 7 hills (Rome) that killed more saints than all religions put together (Rome), that Fornicates with all the kings of the world (Rome), ect, ect.Constantine started the church of Rome in the 4th century and started to change the calendar, Lev 23 Feasts, and the Sabbath all because he was antisemitic (that's Gods people). Doctrines of demons is to forbid Marriage. They worship idols and statues, the list is so enormous you can't miss it. Babylon started the poly theistic religions with Nimrod, Semiramis, Tammuz, and Thyatira. Whether you call him Isis, Zeus, or Jupiter, doesn't really matter. Each empire had their own gods. Rome just changed Jupiter to Christ, but added Maddona and child, Ishtar is Easter in English, and Tammuz was celebrated on Dec 25th, the winter solstice. Read Eze 8: for these abominations. Verse 14 speaks about the death of Tammuz which was supposed to be reincarnated as Nimrod. and verse 16 speaks of a sunrise service. Semiramis was connected with rabbits and eggs for fertility in the Spring and her and her child were called Madonna and child thousands of years before Christ. Nothing Biblical happened on Easter and Christmas so the RCC brought it from the pagans to keep the Romans happy. Easter and Passover are never the same day.

It's almost 4am so I'll leave it there, but there is a time limit for you to read your Bible and figure this out. Fashion you beliefs closer to a Messianic Jew to get closer to Jesus and what He requires. Jesus was a Jew, lived His life as a Jew, followed all their Laws, customs, and culture, died as a Jew, and sits on His throne in Heaven as the Lion of Judah. Look at the red and purple and the cup of blasphemies. Who does that? Who believes the Eucharist is real flesh and blood? Stop praying and bowing to statues, pictures, icons, Hanks of hair, finger bones, ect. Get the statues off you dashboards and out of your yards. Don't stop at a staue on the sides of the roads. Stop praying to Mary, Peter, Paul, and about 200 other dead people. Jesus is our only Mediator to God according to Paul. It goes on and on and on. It only fits the RCC. Did I mention how many Christians you murdered in 1600 years? Read your history. Its like telling a Mormon to look up Mountain Meadows. It's an eye opener.

au contraire chuckles.

In the text it is clear that Ezekiel 16 is God’s Grace to Unfaithful Jerusalem 3 and say, ‘This is what the Lord [a]God says to Jerusalem: “Your origin and your birth are from the land of the Canaanite; your father was an Amorite and your mother a Hittite.

Do you read that? God says to Jerusalem

Jerusalem is the whore city

Isaiah is also crystal clear in chapter 1

The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz concerning Judah and Jerusalem, which he saw during the [a]reigns of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah
-- concerning JERUSALEM -- which is then 21 How the faithful city has become a prostitute, She who was full of justice! Righteousness once dwelt in her, But now murderers.

How the faithful CITY of Jerusalem

==================

have you even read Isaiah or Ezekiel?

Furthermore, it looks like you haven't even read the book of the Revelation of St. John
>Rev 17:9 This calls for a mind with wisdom: the seven heads are seven hills on which the woman is seated: 10 they are also seven kings, five of whom has fallen, one is and the other has not yet come
It's stated clearly that this calls for a mind with wisdom - so you need to work at it

But stick on - the seven heads are the seven kings are the seven hills

-- this is the 7 (sign of completeness) hills are 7 heads - 7 kings. Out of those 7, 5 have fallen (Caesar, Augustus, Tiberius, Caligula, Claudius), 1 is (Nero) and 1 has not yet come and when he comes must remain only a little while (Galba)

Next, you have a city that killed more saints -- that would be Jerusalem of 69 AD

That fornicates with the Kings of the world -- again, shows you haven't even read the book. Let's look at what it really says

9 And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning,

10 Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.
John speaks of spiritual dominion. As God's holy city, Jerusalem had preeminence among the nations, but she didn't stand as the symbol of purity to God that she was supposed to be, but she was a harlot to the kings

Furthermore, have you read

Rev 17:16 ".. they and the beast will hate the harlot; they will make her desolate and naked, and devour her flesh and burn her up with fire
-- Rome burns herself? That's sheer nonsense -- the harlot-city was Jerusalem of 69 AD that RODE upon the beast (the Roman empire)

if we’re going to talk of massacres of Christians, then you need to add the Armenian genocide, the Timurid near-extermination of the Ancient church of the east, then Elizabeth’s anti-Catholic actions, etc. etc.

Chuckie: “Constantine started the church of Rome in the 4th century and started to change the calendar” What are you smoking?

You are trolling fake news that anyone with a minor level of literacy can sus out for themselves.

The Church of Rome started in the 1st century - you can read Clement of Rome, one of the successors of Peter

Constantine did not create the Church, rather Emperor Constantine decriminalized Christian worship. Individual church groups existed from the earliest days of Christianity, and built a strong, interconnected hierarchy during the second and early third centuries. The first decree legally permitting Christianity to exist in the Empire dates from 311, very shortly before Constantine became at first co-emperor and eventually sole emperor.

When Constantine became Emperor in 306AD, the Christian Church had existed for around 275 years. It had major centres in Jerusalem, Alexandria, Antioch, Byzantium and Rome, but also existed in most cities of the Roman Empire.

The church represented by the bishops of these centres could have described itself as Orthodox (teaching the right doctrine) and Catholic (universal, or accepted by everyone). So the entire church has always seen itself as Catholic and Orthodox.

Constantine did not invent the doctrine of the Trinity. It was Bishop Alexander of Alexandria and Athanasius who argued for the divinity of Jesus in the council, but the idea of one God in three persons goes all the way back to the first century.

Contrary to your tinfoil stories, Constantine never declared Christianity the official religion of the Roman Empire, he never attempted to outlaw traditional Greco-Roman religious practices, and he never forced anyone to convert to Christianity against their will.

Constantine I did convene the First Council of Nicaea in 325 AD to resolve the conflict between Arianism and Trinitarianism that was tearing the Christian church apart, but he was present at the council only as an observer and he left the actual decision-making part of the council to the bishops.

Ergo — your lack of biblical reading ties in to the lack of historical reading.

Again - you show a complete lack of any historical knowledge - polytheism was already in practice among the Indo-Europeans (your ancestors) well before the Akkadian Nimrod etc. -- look up the Sumerian gods for instance. Or you can look at the temple complex of Göbekli Tepe dating to 10,000 B.C.

This pre-dates the Akkadian rule of Mesopotamia by 8,000 years.

In fact at the time, 10,000 BC, the Semitic languages (of which Akkadian was a branch) were not yet separated from Afro-Asiatic (the same language family that include Coptic and Somali
