"Babylon the Great" leads people away from true worship

  1

Leviticus 20:6
And the person that looks toward the mediums
of whatever kind, prostituting himself to follow them,
I will set my face against that person and
cut him off from among his people.

  2

Exodus 34:15, 16
that you may not make terms with the inhabitants of the country,
and they prostitute themselves to go after their gods,
and sacrifice to their gods,
and they invite you and you eat some of their sacrifice,
16 and you marry your sons to daughters of theirs
and their daughters prostitute themselves
to go after their gods and
seduce your sons into going after their gods.

  3

Matthew 15:9
and they adore me vainly,
inculcating teachings that are commands of men.’”

  4

James 4:4
Adulteresses, do you not know that friendship
to the world is enmity to God?
so anyone who wishes to be a friend of the world
becomes, as such, an enemy of God.

False Religion is Identified by:

Like ancient Babylon, leading people away from true worship.
Their use of Images and Beliefs such as the Trinity and
the immortality of the soul and blending their worship with
love for the world is considered spiritual prostitution by God.
Its close involvement with world's political leaders.
