Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, ...Rev 1:5
4 John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne;
5 And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,
You cant see the AND JESUAS CHIST there for sure because you take everything completely out off Gods context. You di it all the time and snip just a little portion and try and make it sound different from what it really says. Which is the very ways of the devil indeed.
But rise and stand on your feet; for I have appeared to you for this purpose, to make you a minister and a witness...Acts 26:16
15 And I (Paul)_ said, Who art thou, Lord? And he said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest.
16( And Jesus said to him) But rise, and stand upon thy feet: for I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness both of these things which thou hast seen, and of those things in the which I will appear unto thee;
17 Delivering thee from the people, and from the Gentiles, unto whom now I send thee,
Ironic is that Paul went out with trickery teaching that people are dirty ole sinners not worthy of the kingdom of God. Totally against everything God AND Jesus Christ stands for. God didnt send Paul at all as a sinner, Paul sent himself out using trickery, witchcraft, to make sinners. And his spell defiantly has worked on you for sure.
All that you know about God or Jesus is what Paul has told in trickery. That was his purpose from the beginning, and he knew he could not persecute all the Christians so he took a new strategy to infiltrate these and look noble toward these gullible people, and if he could get these gullible people to follow him as a sinner they would turn from the perfections of God and follow him in his imperfections for sure.
Paul has lead a whole lot more people to sin as yourself for our pews are full of these, a lot more than Jesus ever did make saints in righteous perfections that God puts in man. See Matt 3:16 this is how He does it in us all who will recieve Him instead of one such as Paul as a sinner.
Therefore, having obtained help from God, to this day I stand, witnessing both to small and great, saying no other things than those which the prophets and Moses said would come— 23 that the Christ would suffer, that He would be the first to rise from the dead, and would proclaim light to the Jewish people and to the Gentiles.” Acts 26
But to you he is not risen from the dead you are still waiting for Him to come out of that grave and because of the likes of Paul these who follow Paul will got the grave never knowing the God Jesus knew who came to him and opened up why He is and all of His heaven. That is the on out from the grave and is at your door knocking this day that you reject every day for He is clear that He is at your door knocking but not welcomed to come in for sure.
