And if you believe the reports of the Catholic church being the Whore of Revelation

... then you need to learn to actually read the Bible, instead of listening to "reports" from phonies like Dave Hunt who can't exegete their way out of a wet paper bag. Scripture tells you exactly who the Whore of Babylon is, or rather was. Rev 17 borrows its language directly from Jer 25, Ez 16, and Ez 23. Read those passages, and tell me what they're talking about. And then, for those extremely slow on the uptake, Rev itself tells you who the Whore is. It calls the Whore the "great city" (NB it never says "church", always "city") and then in Rev 11:8 you can read for yourself exactly what city is the "great city" the author had in mind.

You're trying to say that Jerusalem is the Whore of Rev 17 & 18?

The passages in Jeremiah, Ezekiel and Rev 11 are talking a different place entirely.

David Hunt hmmm? Then I guess people like Calvin, Luther, Tyndale, Coverdale, Wesley, Whitefield, Bunyan, Wycliffe, Rogers, many Reformation age PROtestants and many others were wrong about the identity of the personage talked about in Rev 17 & 18 were all wrong as well? The fact that the Bible doesn't say "church" is irrelevant.
