You’d think but the irony of claiming they are Babylon and seeing what Scripture says about her is obviously lost on them.
Something from scripture lost on a Catholic? I’m shocked! Shocked I tell ya!
“You’d think but the irony of claiming they are Babylon and seeing what Scripture says about her is obviously lost on them.”
Not at all, for YOU were predicted in the Old Testament.
The 33,000 Protestant Denominations are foretold and represented well in the Tower of Babel.
Protestants tend to have a hard time with Biblical metaphor. The written word is often art and poetry and symbolic. It is often not intended to be taken literally. Also, God shows us human characters in the Bible who make human mistakes but are still God’s chosen or his Apostolic Ministers.
To those who object to statues, Most of the early Church was ILLITERATE and a picture, or a statue, says 1,000 words. To object to telling a story through pictures or statues is absurd, but then Martin Luther objected to the Book of James too, so even Protestants must admit that Luther was not infallible huh? Luther had some good points, and the Catholic Church of his day was corrupt, but some Protestants forget that Luther was first CATHOLIC and owed HIS OWN basic faith to the Catholic Church.
Now my point is that the written word is also art at times. The ignorant have a hard time interpreting art. Art requires context and an understanding of history and metaphor and suggestion.
The Bible is actually the finest piece of written art in history.
That does not mean I think it is false, it means that I think many arrogant ignorant people will try to misuse words that have more than one, obvious meaning.
Look to the sublime. Look to the metaphors. Look at context.
The TRADITION of the Catholic Church helps us with the art of that day.
