The
Evidence
This time line will
help determine who the whore is in Revelation 17. No, this evidence
is not that of
the Nazi party in
Germany in the 1930s and 1940s. No, this is not a time line of the
Islamic Religion.
This is a time line
of the abominations of the Catholic Church.
While I was
compiling this time line, a verse from Genesis 12. In verse 3, God
says to Abram
about
his people the Jews, “And
I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee:
and
in
thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.”
Another
verse also comes to mind about turning the other cheek is Luke 26:9,
“And unto him
that
smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and him that
taketh away thy cloak forbid not to
take
thy coat also.”
“A
new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have
loved you, that ye
another.”
John 13:34-35
“Ye
have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and
hate thine enemy. But
I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good
to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you,
and persecute you;That ye may be the children of your Father which is
in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good,
and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.” Matthew 5:43-45
With these verses in mind as you read
probably the most comprehensive time line ever
compiled of the wrong doings of the
Catholic Church.

Augustine writes: "the Church admits and avows the Jewish

till the ground of an earthly circumcision, an earthly Sabbath, an
earthly passover, while the hidden strength or virtue of making
known Christ, which this tilling contains, is not yielded to the
Jews while they continue in impiety and unbelief, for it is
revealed in the New Testament. While they will not turn to God,
the veil which is on their minds in reading the Old Testament is
not taken away... the Jewish people, like Cain, continue tilling
the ground, in the carnal observance of the law, which does not
yield to them its strength, because they do not perceive in it the
grace of Christ"
