—Jeffries equates the Catholic Church with “Mystery Babylon”. That, in itself, is a distortion and perversion of the Word of God. That the comment is brief is no defense.—
Actually, I’ve read quite a bit on this. There is strong support for that argument. It is not a fringe belief. I don
‘t hold the belief, but that is because I choose to focus on things that are a bit less speculative. Likewise, I don’t tell those that believe in pre-tribulation rapture that they are perverting the Word of God just because I disagree with them (I’m Mid-trib which is really post-trib, pre-wrath).
Now, if this guy was claiming that Jesus is not Lord, that would be a horse of a different color.
It may be common, but commonness has nothing to do with correctness (or even sanity).
