Odd isn't it that when the disciples wanted to venerate Old Testament saints they were chastised by God for diluting the glory that belonged only to Jesus.

Mat 17:1-8, “And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart,and was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light. And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him.

Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias. While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.

And when the disciples heard [it], they fell on their face, and were sore afraid. And Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, and be not afraid.

And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save Jesus only.”

Wow. Great citation. Thanks for the excellent example that all men have a craven desire to fall down to what is essentially themselves.

By the indwelling Holy Spirit, men are correctly aligned to kneel to none but Christ.

Now, now, BD,

you MUST be forgetting,

Mother Superior Mary Caricature

was hovering above . . . or sheltered under a nearby arbor [bush] . . . or . . .

standing on a light beam from an invisible UFO . . .

or

circling overhead on a very large magic white hanky . . .

I mean, you can’t possibly imagine that

The SUPREME QUEEN OF HEAVEN, QUEEN & CONQUERESS OF HELL, SOLE AVENUE OF SALVATION AND SOLE ROUTE TO THE FATHER; SOLE DRAWER OF MEN TO GOD [Having bumped Holy Spirit from HIS job] . . . sharer in the hypostatic union of THE TRINITY/GODHEAD . . . yada yada yada

would have dared to allow

Jesus The Christ/Creator God

to have had ANY GIG

all to Himself—at any point—particularly as long as the ET holographic recorders were running!
