If Christianity is true

[JustMe]

Thank you for your reply.


i like this "as laughter is medicine to the bones"

Let us continue being respectful to each other for it is His Way - Amen


Yes, in Scripture and you will SEE that it is Found in the Center of God's Throne.


Then I saw a scroll in the right hand of the One seated on the throne. It had writing on both sides and was sealed with seven seals.
And I saw a mighty angel proclaiming in a loud voice, “Who is worthy to break the seals and open the scroll?”

But no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll or look inside it.
And I began to weep bitterly, because no one was found worthy to open the scroll or look inside it.

Then one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep! Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed to open the scroll and its seven seals.”

Then I saw a Lamb who appeared to have been slain, standing in the center of the throne, encircled by the four living creatures and the elders. The Lamb had seven horns and seven eyes, which represent the seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth.
And He came and took the scroll from the right hand of the One seated on the throne.

When He had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb. Each one had a harp, and they were holding golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints. And they sang a new song:

“Worthy are You to take the scroll and open its seals,
because You were slain,
and by Your blood You purchased for God
those from every tribe and tongue and people and nation.
You have made them to be a kingdom
and priests to serve our God,
and they will reign upon the earth.”

And your point is again? The creatures and elders fell down before the Lamb. Yes I know this scripture. I think you might read my post #104, on the Angels 'worshipping' Yeshua before you reply back. If you do, then you will find I have not concern with the scripture, per se, it's the translators bias I'm concerned with, in when the select to use the terms 'bowing down' prostrating or worshipping. Most have a bias in using 'worship' for God or His Son only, and the rest, even Yeshua to his Father as 'bowing down' . So most people think of the term 'worship' as to the God only, and then think that of Yeshua is worshipped they he is also God and this is not true. It's a sign of reverence and honor, and even obedience to all except the one God as in 1 and 2C who is clearly worshipped to the fullest extent in and in spirit and being.

You missed the TRUTH and i do not squirm away from "translations" when the whole of Scripture Speaks of CHRIST

The TRUTH of GOD is CHRIST

CHRIST/the LAMB, is Standing in the CENTER of the THRONE of His FATHER

No one is permitted there but the FATHER, the LAMB/CHRIST and the HOLY SPIRIT

If even Michael the Arch-Angel were to even attempt to enter the THRONE, he would be cast out FOREVER, never to return.​

I will await your response with anticipation....but be careful of translation...it is the work of men.
Scripture does not contradict itself. If you post a contradiction, I will show you the error in translation.
This is why research is a valuable tool.

If Christianity is true, would you become a Christian?

It now appears beyond a shadow of doubt that nothing short of moderator intervention in this thread will stop “Christian” members from putting a stumbling block in the path of unbelievers. That is very opposite of the purpose of this thread.

Mach-loket, not shalom, has been brought to this thread.

@Angelina, please close my thread before any further damage is done.

If Christ would not have revealed himself would Paul have ever became a Christian?

1 And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest,

2 And desired of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he found any of this way, whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound unto Jerusalem.

3 And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven: - Acts

4 And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?

5 And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.

6 And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do. - Acts 9

11 But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man.

12 For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.

13 For ye have heard of my conversation in time past in the Jews' religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and wasted it:

14 And profited in the Jews' religion above many my equals in mine own nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers.

15 But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace,

16 To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood: - Galatians 1

In so many cases the conversation has not been made as the Christ has not been revealed. I myself would bot have been converted had not the Christ been revealed.
