Sounds like you are a success story, Raven!
I really think the apostles would look at our worship today and go, huh?>>>>>>>>
I do not doubt that.
We know the why, just never think about it...and it all points to their Messiah... our Messiah too.. The world’s savior...>>>>>>
Amen to that.
They have been blinded.. and christendom has been a tool that has been used, sad to say...>>>>>>
Yes it has been used and thank God we have the gospel which Jesus gave us, in some case`s because of the Church and in other cases in spite of the Church.
Just know that failure is only to be an event, and not a person...
We see evidence of that throughout scripture with His own chosen people..
Psalm 40:2-3 (KJV)
2 He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.
3 And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praie unto our Elohim: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in Yah.
