Like Mother like Daughters:
Babylon The Great, The Mother of Harlots and of the Abominations of the earth.
the RELIGION of men

Roman Catholicism is a DAUGHTER of the Whore---Judaism. All the isms have the same mother. Isms are institutionalized presentations of scripture. Denominated, incorporated, name-branded, exalted masters set up, false doctrines promoted, void of God, rebellious, and full of iniquity and death.

The true Body of Christ is in Jesus Christ. It is a habitation of God made without hands with the Holy Spirit dwelling in each member by faith.

Men, the builders that reject the Cornerstone (Jesus), build their Babylonian religion of various kinds, shapes, doctrines and spirits, using scripture here and there to deceive and give a sense of credibility.

The "fathers and elders" of Judaism rejected and laid aside the commandments of God in order to keep and hold their own traditions and dogmas. Jesus tells us this in Mark 7; Matthew 15; which are based off Isaiah 29:10-13.

Peter confirms all of this in 1 Peter 1:18-19; 1 Peter 2:4-8.
So, this is why God calls His people out of Babylon the Great, the Mother of Harlots and abominations of the earth. Because He has some of His sheep caught in the midst under evil the dominance of evil shepherds. Ezekiel 34. Revelation 18:4.

Jesus describes this whole scenario in John 10. It is a parable that requires the Holy Spirit to give a person illumination to understand. The Father hides these things from the wise and prudent but reveals them to babes. Matthew 11:25.

Jesus is the "Door". The rebellious evil false leaders climb in another way. They refuse to obey and submit to Jesus' authority.
We see this in their rebellion. They will not obey His commandments both written and spoken by the Holy Spirit.

They call Him, “Lord Lord”, but will not do as He says. Luke 6:46.

They are thieves and robbers that come to kill steal and destroy Jesus tells us. They enter the sheepfold. They are of their father the devil and do as he does from the beginning. Lie, murder, kill, steal, defile, and destroy. You know them by their fruits. John 10:1-10. Matthew 7:15-23.

For example: Read what Jesus commanded in Matthew 23:8.
There is one Teacher. You all are brethren. Do not call yourself "Rabbi". Or, other titles. Because they segregate you OVER the brethren which He commanded against.
Mark 10:42-45; confirmed by Peter: 1 Peter 5:1-4.

And, Matthew 23:10.
There is but one Leader---Jesus Christ.
What they are doing when they disobey Jesus and use these exalted titles is to replace Jesus as the Teacher and Leader. This is classic definition of "antichrist". Meaning, to replace or stand in His stead. Obviously the pope does this. But consider how many do the same by being called "Pastor" and operate as a leader, and also as a teacher. All of this despite Jesus' clear instructions.
All of this makes it clear that in so doing, they are not even disciples continuing in His Word.
John 8:31.

Jesus went into "their synagogues" as shown in the gospels. He declared the Word of God in power. The false leaders called "rulers of the synagogues" generally opposed Jesus and sought to destroy Him. This is the same dynamic of those who exalt themselves in their bogus positions of leadership. A leadership based on, at best, ignorance following tradition, or worse, rebellion.

Authority comes from submission to God. John 5:30; 6:38.

Jesus has all authority because He submitted totally to the will of the Father. And hence, He has all authority in heaven and earth. Matthew 28:18; Philippians 2:5-11.

Jesus serves. His servants serve Him. It is a function not a position. Even in the scriptures, they have been mis-translated on purpose to support the idea of hegemony which is to dominate over others; and conquer them. This is the very word "leader" seen in Mt. 23:10 cited above.

The nations rule this way and Jesus says, "it shall NOT be so among you". Matthew 20:25-28.

The word "office" in translations is NOT in the Greek text. The word 'diakonia' means to serve or slave. It is not to rule as Jesus commanded; with Peter confirming in 1 Peter 5:1-4.

This just goes to show how much is out of order in the Church System. If a person is to follow Jesus as He commands, then they discover these things if He is their one and only Teacher.
1 John 2:27; Ephesians. 4:21. Matthew 23:8,10.

Jesus tells us His Kingdom is not of this world. John 18:36. But the church system is of the world. Follow Jesus. He is the King of Kings and ruler of all creation; and is Head of the true body of Christ.

Again, there are people stuck in the mud of the falsehood of a false church system. And God calls His people out. Which is the meaning of "ekklesia", called out. Translated as church. That is another study altogether. The origin of that word and what it represents is so vital, it cost the life of William Tyndale, the man who translated the bible into English, to be martyred by the false system. Tyndale preferred the translation of the Greek word ekklesia to be congregation or assembly. But no, those seeking to rule over other religious people wanted to support the hierarchical system going back to Mother Harlot.

Lastly, the builders build their man made religion. They incorporate it, name brand, it as in Genesis 11, in the USA they get an IRS 501c3 tax exemption, though not required, and thus become censored in regards to speaking about political issues or campaigns. It is a snare and yoke of the wicked.

They divide the body of Christ contrary to 1 Corinthians 3.
They exalt certain elite men, title them, and pay them. John 10.
They replace Jesus and the Holy Spirit as the sole teacher. 1 John 2:27 and Matthew 23:8,10.
They teach leavenous doctrines of man. Matthew 16:6,11,12.
They are void of the power of God. 1 Corinthians 2. They are governed by mere words and rhetoric.
They are trained often in schools to master their craft. John 7:15-17.
They steal the life and livelihood of the unsuspecting cult. John 10:8,10 especially.
They are the blind guides that lead the blind into the ditch Jesus says. Matthew 23:16,24; 15:14!

And that is the reality of the Great Mother of Harlots and abominations of the earth stemming from Jerusalem that is below, of bondage, born of the flesh, persecuting those of the Spirit.

25 Now this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia and corresponds to the present Jerusalem, for she is in slavery with her children. 26 But the Jerusalem above is free; she is our mother.
And,
you brethren, like Isaac, are children of promise. 29. But as at that time he who was born according to the flesh persecutes him who was born according to the Spirit, so it is now also. Galatians 4:21-31.

This is the story of the Great Deceiver; the religion of man that stems back to Genesis 11. This wicked harlot has come in secretly, cryptically, and hid in the meal, LEAVEN, until the whole was corrupted.

And Jesus said,
“And again he said, Whereunto shall I liken the kingdom of God?
It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal,
till the whole was leavened. Luke 17:20-21.

This is the parable that Jesus Himself prophesied of the false counterfeit religious system that would deceive the world as she served her god the Devil, the Dragon, the great serpent!

And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet color, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:

And upon her forehead was a name written,
MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS
AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.

And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the
martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.
Revelation 17:4-6.

For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.

And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
Revelation 18:3-4

Therefore, “COME OUT FROM THEIR MIDST AND BE SEPARATE,” says the Lord.
“AND DO NOT TOUCH WHAT IS UNCLEAN; AND I will welcome you.”
“And I will be a father to you, And you shall be sons and daughters to Me,”
says the Lord Almighty. 2 Corinthians 6:17-18.
