Revelation 5:6 And between the throne and the four living creatures and among the elders I saw a Lamb standing, as though it had been slain, with seven horns and with seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth.

Looking like it HAD BEEN slain.

And people don't seem to note that it was STANDING.

And you're right. It's not standing being slain. It's standing as though it had been slain.

When Jesus appeared to the disciples, He still had the marks of the Crucifixion on Him, the holes in His hands and His side, and yet He was very much resurrected and alive.

He was not in the process of being slain when He told Thomas to put his hands in the wounds. He HAD BEEN slain. Bearing the marks of past action to not indicate the action is continuing.

>>Bearing the marks of past action to not indicate the action is continuing.<<

And what a cruel hoax the Catholic Church perpetuates by giving the image of Christ still suffering not having "finished the work which thou gavest me to do" as Jesus stated to the Father. They still show Him hanging on that cross rather than the glorified Christ sitting at the right hand of the Father.
