I was not verbose in that post, — I generally rarely am. Iscool claimed the word “saints” is not used in Rev. 5 and 8, and I showed him that it is. This is the “stuff” he ignored, and it is rude, — primarily to the St. John the Evangelist the Revelator who wrote the text for Iscool’s benefit.
Yes it is! And as we notice in that verse in Revelation 5 it’s the four and twenty elders who had the prayers and offered them. NOT the saints as we are so often told by Catholics.
Revelation 5:8 And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints.
But there is still your Revelation 8 where you may be vindicated right?
Revelation 8:3 And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne. 4 And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel's hand.
Well, well, well! This time it’s an angel and NOT the saints again! Those silly Catholics! They don’t even think we actually “check the scriptures daily, to see if what thy say is true”. They’ve been trying to get us to join their cult on the hope we don’t, Those silly Catholics.
One would think they listen to a different spirit than listening to the Holy Spirit. >>This is the “stuff” he ignored, and it is rude,<<
Actually it would be better for all those who seek truth to ignore what you teach and treat whoever teaches the error you do not just with rude but with the admonition “get thee behinde me”.
Riiiight...but everyone ELSE is?
