many times I find non-catholics who embrace anti-catholicism and present what they claim is the true gospel have a gospel interpretation that is constantly changing why is that? They tell in one debate Catholic Church isn't in the bible and than in another the exact opposite.
Also can anyone show me Baptist Church in the bible or Lutheran Church in the bible or SDA assembly hall in the bible?

I will continue to post questions which will hopefully cause non-catholics to more closely examine their perceptions.

Rallie some pointer you negglected
1. Jersusalem is also founded on 7 hills
2. at the time of John's writings the Vatican did not exist and when it did much later it was not contructed in the city of Rome but on the other bank of the tiber and not on any of Rome's 7 hills. So much for the whore who sits on 7 mountains (mountains btw is more correct in translation)

A much better candidate for the whore of babylon would be the Protestant denominations, which arose in Europe.
Europa is the woman riding the beast, as portrayed on the sculpture outside the European Union Headquarters in Brussels.
The 31,000 (and growing) different Protestant creeds could easily qualify as the confused langauges of Babel, and the southern EU Parliament Building is an exact replica of the Tower of Babel.
The cup of abominations could easily qualify as the grape juice and crackers that Protestants use in their symbolic communion services, when Christ said clearly that we are to celebrate his death using only his authentic body and blood.
As for false doctrines, we have faith alone and scripture alone as the Protestant manifesto, both of which are no where present in scripture.

The name of the Churches as we know it now were never known yet to the writers of the Bible before. But their descriptions would lead to that as some of the features indicated are comparable to the church we know at present. In the book of Revelation, there was part there that spoke about the seven hills of Babylon. Babylon before is Iraq today and where ever you go in that place, you will never be able to find seven hills. During the time that Revelation is being written, the powerful empire that is noted for its tyranny was Rome and only Rome till today is noted for its 7 hills. I hope you would already have imagined what could have happened to John of Patmos had he written Rome instead of Babylon. Could you please use a little research on as to when was Christianity formed compared to when was the manuscript of the Apostles and Revelations were found and not when it was written as a book. And to support you about the Baptist, Lutheran SDA not all of them are in the bible because they all came as a protest group against the Catholic church. So all them are not in the real New Testament. These are the deceivers Jesus have warned his disciples about.

Well.. the Catholics believe that the Catholic Church was established when Jesus said to Peter "upon this Rock I build my Church" they claim Peter as the first Pope and thus, figure Jesus was talking about Catholics (which Protestants dont see it that way at all) Many very uneducated catholics do think "Catholic Church" is named specifically in the Bible. But it isnt.
I personally think the USA fits the description of the Whore of Babylon better, and Catholicism is more like the Church of Laodocia

The Gospel of Saint Matthew Chapter 28:18-20
Jesus delegates all power to His Apostles, Chosen Twelve.
Thus the Catholic Church was born Authoritative, Apostolic, Unified,Infallible, Perpetual ,and Holy.

I do not think that any one church is in the bible?
Either you believe Jesus was born and is the son of God or not?
The whole whore of Babylon thing is a big waste of time. From what I have learned Jesus is about caring, loving and forgiving. Why can't all Christian groups focus on this?

No. it particularly is a lie being unfold by brokers of devil. the actuality is that Jesus Christ based the Catholic Church. The Catholic Church compiled, canoninized and preserved the Bible.

So..there you go..
Alexander Hislop..back in the 1800's, came up with the idea that the Catholic Church was the Whore of Babylon.
