Hello everyone again,
When I read Stephen killed by those jews people because they was enrage when Stephen pitch their's nerve and talk about faith and everything and Saul was there (Paul)And he saw Jesus in the sky, and it make them even more angry
I think I understand why the lord himself show himself to Stephen before he died
My only conclusion is Stephen told God not to blame them and he forgive them for killing him
Now this is interesting, Stephen want the murderers to go to heaven because his heart is pure and never desire them to be in hell, I bet he beg the lord in heaven not to held accountable to them
Does that mean Stephen's love is stronger than God? No I don't think so, It just that God is very happy and that why he show himself to him to let him know this:
"Blessed are their's heart is pure, they will see God" Which is why Stephen saw him.
Sadly, christians today is full of darkness and showing people with fear and punishment, there no love in there, just justice, God want justice in our brain, not in the heart!
The brain use justice to "logical, reasoning"
the heart use love to have "passion, understand and respect"
But I still have problem, is Stephen is better than those angry vengence soul who was maryter for preaching the truth demand death on the enemies in revelation, they was inside the altar and God told them to wait I will kill them but your revenge will be pay in full
I am confused here lol, I thought Jesus ask us to love the enemies, not revenge or hate or hoping to get them kill, I am really confused here, or Stephen is better than them.
:cloud9: Hi; In Rev. they were asking for how long before their brethren would be killed the way they were, not asking for them to die. The place they were tells us why. That altar had a grate on top of it, and the only way they got under it was to be consumed with the fire of God, after making of themselves a living sacrifice, tied down with cords of love that cannot be broken.
They are crying out for their brethren to die to self to be exalted with Christ, the same way they did/were. Blessings.....

Usually all of the attention is on horns, i.e. 7heads and 10 horns, the mythology of europa, the number of Roman emperors, whether 7 or 8 that are mentioned, that Nero is 666, the overthrow of Jerusalem in 70AD with Jesus coming in judgment with the heavenly hosts; with the clouds of glory as God is depicted many times coming in the clouds to inflict Old Testament judgments, or upon letters, rewards, solid gold cities on Jupiter, yada, yada, yada... Most interesting clarification!
