Revelation 17

  The Great Prostitute and the Beast 17  Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and said to me, “Come, I will show you the judgment of the great prostitute who is seated on many waters, 2  with whom the kings of the earth have committed sexual immorality, and with the wine of whose sexual immorality the dwellers on earth have become drunk.”   3  And he carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness, and I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that was full of blasphemous names, and it had seven heads and ten horns.   4  The woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and jewels and pearls, holding in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the impurities of her sexual immorality.   5  And on her forehead was written a name of mystery: “Babylon the great, mother of prostitutes and of earth's abominations.”   6...

Revelation 17

  The Woman on the Beast 1 Then one of the seven angels with the seven bowls came and said to me, “Come, I will show you the punishment of the great prostitute, who sits on many waters.   2 The kings of the earth were immoral with her, and those who dwell on the earth were intoxicated with the wine of her immorality.” 3 And the angel carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness, where I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that was covered with blasphemous names and had seven heads and ten horns.   4 The woman was dressed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls. She held in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the impurities of her sexual immorality.   5 And on her forehead a mysterious name was written:  BABYLON THE GREAT,  THE MOTHER OF PROSTITUTES  AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. The Mystery Explained 6 I could see that the woman was drunk with the blood of the saints and witnesses for Jesus. ...

The Confutation Of Mormonism: Part 7

The nature of the created order testifies to God’s invisible attributes & authority.   By way of contrast, the LDS statements regarding the created order generally center on man, not God, insofar as the purpose of the created order, in LDS theology    is “ to provide a physical, temporal setting for God's spirit children to gain bodies, exercise agency, and gain experience to progress toward eternal exaltation.”  Romans 1:18 - 32 disagrees.   Romans 1:18 - 32: Paul is following the outline of Leviticus 18, following the form of a Hebraic lawsuit. Shema and Decalogue (1:18 - 21) God’s Image testifies to His attributes & Law. God created people. His temple bears His Image & runs according to His Law & Gospel. Historical Prologue (1:22 - 23) They suppressed God’s image & authority substituting their own, & made idols that looked & behaved like themselves.

Tackling Tradition 61: When Did Sin Enter The World?

According to Traci Coston … One detail in the Genesis story that many people miss is this: Sin did not enter the world the moment Eve ate the fruit. It entered when Adam did. By the time the serpent appeared in the garden, sin was already present in creation—in Satan himself, who had rebelled against God and was now deceiving humanity. But it had not yet entered the human race or corrupted the world under Adam’s authority. When the serpent spoke to Eve, she was deceived. She actually believed what the serpent was telling her. We can even see confusion about God’s command in the way she repeats it: “God said, ‘You shall not eat of the fruit of the tree that is in the midst of the garden, neither shall you touch it, lest you die.’” — Genesis 3:3 But God never said anything about touching the tree. The original command was simply not to eat it: “Of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat.” — Genesis 2:17 That command had been given directly to Adam before Eve was even...
