Yes, D-fender, you have it all right. This is how Bible Study works. I attended a Bible Study in 1871 and received a copy of a catholic world periodical and have kept it all these years, through the 1st WW, the 2nd, man on the moon, Vietnam, 13 presidents, and 9/11, just waiting, waiting to be able to open it again and post something from it...
Hint: When a Bible study is studying something, say CULTS, they begin with gathering information on those CULTS, with sources, and compare them with what God's Word says about the last days, the tribulation, Rev. 17 and 18, one world government, one world religion, etc. And they compare the CULT beliefs and doctrines with God's Word. If they line up with what the Bible declares is another gospel, another Jesus, another spirit, they are a CULT.
Roman Catholicism is on the front burner because there are many who believe she is the Great Whore of Rev. 17,18, who sits upon many waters.
That said, what are the sources that confirm/deny that belief? They are given to you every time I post them. Would you like to continue this study of the RCC being Mystery Babylon, with adequate sources? It's up to you. We have 2000 years of sourced lies by the RCC to keep us busy for months. OR, you can get on down the road, and hope it's just my memory that is recalling this information, and not Church material. I can assure you it is acknowledged sourced material. It's up to you...
And they do have some rather compelling reasons to believe that.
Bible Study it was, just like you said “I am NOT going to websites. The only *link* I could give is the link to the Bible study classes I attend.”
I’m just glad you remembered where it came from to clear this up, and you had it handy enough to type in.
Obviously the reason it came up in google searches jot for jot is the same calibre of sources have the same material.
I would bet we could find that folks used the exact same words and snippets and calling Catholicism a cult going back to Know Nothing Party and the KKK a couple of generations back.
If you were going to websites you could check it out.
