That Brood of Little Harlots

 "What church has its seat in the ancient imperial capitol of the Roman Empire? There is and can be only one answer to that question: the Roman Catholic Church.
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. (Rev. 17:5,6). . . .This calls for a mind with wisdom. The seven heads are seven hills on which the woman sits.
 
With the benefit of hindsight, we know something else: 
Rome’s children, the Protestant denominations that left the Roman church in terms of its organization, did not forsake all of the errors of the mother church. 
---They still cling to two major errors: 
Sunday sacredness in place of the Bible Sabbath, and the immortality
of the soul
, or the belief that a disembodied consciousness continues on after death, in place of the Bible doctrine that we sleep unconsciously in the grave until the resurrection. 
*Thus it can be said that not only is the Roman Catholic Church the Great Harlot, she is the mother of a brood of little harlots." DavidRead/Fulcrum7
