I said "morality of Jesus", and gmark77 agrees with me.

He, of course, though, is no theologian and had no idea what I meant.

I honestly wish you lot would read the Bible from time to time. Just watching you and @Cypress struggle to follow what the Bible says (or use Google AI because you don't know) in a discussion of the Bible.

Oh well. Guess I shouldn't be surprised that the defenders of the faith seem to have the least understanding of the faith.

The 'Whore of Babylon' was Jerusalem. I know this is over your head but Jews were entirely concerned with Jews, not goys and foreigners, in their theology. It was the Babylonian Jews who caused the movements away from the Hebrewism of Moses and dreamed up fake 'Oral Torahs' and 'master race' bullshit started by Ezra. You have zero sense of context and linguistics. You think the bible is just some collection of isolated verses or something; it isn't, it's a masterwork of interrelated and cohesive literature, beginning to end, none of which you can grasp.

Do Not Judge
Click to expand...

1“Judge[a] not, that you be not judged. 2For with what https://biblehub.com/nkjv/matthew/7.htm#footnotesjudgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you. 3And why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye? 4Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me remove the speck from your eye’; and look, a plank is in your own eye? 5Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.


6“Do not give what is holy to the dogs; nor cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you in pieces.


Keep Asking, Seeking, Knocking​

7“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 8For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. 9Or what man is there among you who, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? 10Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent? 11If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him! 12Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.


The Narrow Way​

13“Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. 14[c]Because narrow is the gate and [d]difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.


You Will Know Them by Their Fruits​

15“Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. 16You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? 17Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. 19Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20Therefore by their fruits you will know them.


I Never Knew You​

21“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ 23And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’


Build on the Rock​

24“Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: 25and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock.


26“But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand: 27and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall.”


28And so it was, when Jesus had ended these sayings, that the people were astonished at His teaching, 29for He taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.

He is speaking in terms of the original intent as per Moses. It is an extensive premise, not just one verse. The larger meaning is held in each of the contexts in the larger teachings, not just Mathew 7.

Please keep being stupid. You got nothing as usual. It's very clear who the Whore Of Babylon is, whether you like it or not. Rome, the U.S., ir any other place you want it to be are not 'Babylon'; the reference is to Jerusalem, period.
