Why Do Some Call Organized Religious Churches "Babylonian Churches" ?
Some points given were that they worship on Sunday specifically, idolatry in the "House of GOD" (i.e. Graven images, crucifixes, pictures of Christ, images of Angels, carved and engraved items). Other interesting points were that priests, ministers, or pastors are supposed to be able to trace their lineage back to a certain tribe. Anti-Christian practice of OT Law by ask 10% for Tithe. False invocation of the Holy Spirit.
Many of the points you make are based upon the Jewish ceremonial law or as it is sometimes referred to as the Torah law. Ceremonial law includes kashrut (dietary law), circumcision and observing Jewish feast days and festivals. As in the past there are 613 mitzvots (laws) that Jews are to follow. They do not apply to Christians.
The apostle Paul reasoned that through Torah comes the knowledge of sin and, since Torah does not impart the power to escape sin, it is incapable of justifying one. Paul thus states that "no human will be justified in his sight by works of Torah." Either interpretation of "works of Torah" will make sense of this assertion.
Christ’s resurrection determined the day for Christian worship:
1. Jesus Christ arose on the first day of the week (Matt. 28:1).
2. Jesus Christ appeared to His assembled disciples on the first day of the week, as well as to Mary and to the two disciples on the road to Emmaus (John 20:10; Luke 24:13). They began expecting to meet with Him on the day of his resurrection, which is the first day of the week.
3. Jesus appeared to the assembled disciples one week later on the first day of the week, with doubting Thomas present this time (John 20:26).
4. The resurrected Christ poured out his Spirit on the assembled disciples exactly fifty days after the Sabbath of the Jewish Passover, which was the first day of the week (Acts 2:1; cf. Lev. 23:15–16). The word Pentecost means “fifty,” referring to the fifty days after the Sabbath of the Passover.
5. As Paul spread the gospel of Christ among Jews and Gentiles throughout the world, the first day of the week was used as the time for Christians to assemble for worship. In Greece, Paul and Luke assembled with the people of God to break bread and to hear the preaching of God’s word on the first day of the week (Acts 20:7). This was the day that the people of the new covenant assembled to hear God’s word.
6. Paul wrote to the Christians in Corinth to establish the pattern for their presenting of offerings for the service of the Lord. He ordered the Christians in Corinth to follow the pattern that had already been set with the churches in Galatia (1 Cor. 16:1). On the first day of every week they were to consecrate their offerings to the Lord (1 Cor. 16:2). This schedule for honoring the Lord had become the pattern for God’s people throughout the churches. The churches were not to present their offerings any time they wished. Rather, on the first day of each week, all the Corinthian Christians were to follow the pattern that had already been set among the Galatians churches. The first day of the week was the designated time for the presentation of offerings to the Lord.
Tithing is both biblical and Christian as declared in Malachi 3:10, Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it. The apostle Paul warns the church in Gal. 1:8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. 9 As we said before , so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received , let him be accursed. When we change the Word of God we bring a curse upon ourselves.
Although it is true God created a priesthood based upon family lineage, the tribe of Levi, it is not practiced or followed in Christianity today.
I am a Pentecostal and am not aware of any false invocation of the Holy Spirit, it appears you are making excuses for NOT becoming a Christian.
