Please bible students should please check the following and let us do a little bit of bible study here,

Let's note that the bible said that


Rev 18:3  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[b] merchants of the earth[/b] are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.


Rev 18:11  And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more:
Rev 18:12  The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble,
Rev 18:13  And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men.
Rev 18:14  And the fruits that thy soul lusted after are departed from thee, and all things which were dainty and goodly are departed from thee, and thou shalt find them no more at all.
Rev 18:15  The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing,



Rev 18:23  And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for[b] thy merchants were the great men of the earth[/b];for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.



Questions
-----------------


1. Who are the Merchants

2. Who is the bible refering to as "HER"

@ No2Atheism

1. Who are the Merchants

Those that conduct business with the Roman Catholic church.

2. Who is the bible refering to as "HER"

The "her" represents the false church which is the Roman Catholic church. In other words they are only two churches. One is genuine and teaches truth in its entirety, while one is political and teaches lies with a little truth.

SHE - The CHURCH(and that includes ALL churches)
MERCHANTS OF THE EARTH - All the christian priesthoods who benefit from the koffers of organized christian faith by spreading untruths all over the planet.

It is not for me to reject what I have not accepted, including all of which you have mentioned excepting the bible. The collating of scriptures, the credit of which you seek to grab, belongs to God's own doing. The bible says that God can create good out of evil.

Has it ever occurred to you that God could have used any set of people to have safe guarded the scriptures?

DO YOU MEAN TO TELL ME THAT GOD USED EVIL BISHOPS TO SELECT THE BOOKS OF THE BIBLE.WHERE WHERE THE "TRUE" CHRISTIANS ,WHERE THEY ALL SLEEPING.HOW ARE YOU SURE THAT THIS BOOKS ARE NOT EVIL .WHY DONT YOU BELEIVE THE NOVEL CALLED DA VINCI CODE

That is your interpretation of what I am saying, but allow me to enlighten you. Everyone knows that the RCC as an organization does not represent God's truth and saving grace, but despite that, He God still has His people within its walls that He is able to use to at least maintain some semblance of sanity.

An example would be Martin Luther. He began reforming the obvious ills and evils within the organization, something your blind eyes have not been able to see.

@bobbybaff,

since you believe so much in martin luther,why dont you stick to his version of the bible which removed the books of revelation and James.The you can be rest assured that you can be saved by faith alone.since you believe that the RCC is the the harlot mentioned in the bible ,reading her bible might mean you are drinking the wine of her fornication.Abi can you eat from a smelling pot without getting poisoned?

You must be comical, or something! Hahahhahahahaha, you're making me crack up with laughter. Listen Martin Luther was not perfect even though he started making efforts to reform the RCC. Rahab was a harlot but because of the step of faith she took, she was placed in the hall of fame of righteous persons.

Mon ami, vous etes tres simple,

If the RCC is evil,then the bible the composed be regaerded as being evil as well.Relying on it for doctrinal issues would be extreme stupidity.

@bobbyaff

so if u are arguing wit a muslim and he questions the origin of the bible,you would admit it was composed by a set of evil bishops.I tell you at the end of the day,he will be the one to convert you.There has never been a break in the chain of administration of the church,we can can count the church leaders from peter,linus,anacletus.clement to the present pope.If you dont agree wit this i challenge you to tell me when the RCC started and who was the first pope.
