I was a staunch Catholic for 22 years. I'm telling you when I was Drum Major for our High School band I knelt by the goal post, did the sign of the cross and prayed! Looking back on that, I just don't see what they have to do with anything at all. I don't see the importance.
Billy Graham has been just as important in world affairs, for the Baptists, as the pope has been for the Catholic Church. That's just the way I see it.
I'm also tired of hearing every little gadget that comes along might be the Mark of the Beast. It's just seems silly and superstitious.
I see some truth and some things that don't seem to pan out in all views.
So, that's where I'm at on prophecy and tend to view it as St. Matt - a carnal minded system. |
Trying to compare the Baptist church to the RCC is like trying to compare a full grown gorilla with one of those little monkeys you see on people's shoulders. There really is no comparison.

Aren't the seven churches in Revelation really seven different church ages?

Yes, according to a few theories. Nothing in the scriptures about it though.

I've always viewed that as seven characteristics a church may experience at any given time or phases they go through. In other words, one church would reflect all during phases of growth.

Well, Rico I hear the "city of seven hills". Austin is surrounded by seven hills. So, is the anti-Christ Rick Perry?

Usually, when I hear preachers making that claim, it's because they are preaching on this being the Laodicean age.
