A church that is committed to Christian Community Development sees not only the soul of a person as significant but also his or her whole life on Earth. It is being completely pro-life for a person, not only eternally, but also as the person lives on this earth. Therefore, Christian Community Development sees that the Church must be involved in every aspect of a person's life.

Babylon was the Catholic Church. Your research helps us get a grip on that misapplication. I'll not mention anymore that the clues might apply to a church. They clearly don't. There are several references in these prophetic verses to cities within a nation. Babylon the Great must be a country, a nation, not a church. I assume that we've all read the clue verses to prepare for tonight. The verses identifying the identity of the Daughter of Babylon/Babylon the Great are: Psalm 137:8 Isaiah 13; 21:1-10; 47 and 48 Jeremiah 50 and 51 Zechariah 2:7 Revelation 17 and — John Price

If progressive deep frames had been articulated and present in the public mind, the idea of a "war on terror" never would have made sense.

Had progressive deep frames been prevalent at the time of 9/11, Americans would have taken "war on terror" as a powerful metaphor but not a literal guide to action, like the "war on poverty." They would have seen it as a major crime problem - like international organized crime - and sought to bring these criminals to justice by the means that work best, like tracing bank accounts, placing spies in their organizations, and so on.

They act as they please: here and there, they use force against sovereign states, building coalitions based on the principle 'If you are not with us, you are against us.'
