I just call them how I see them.
Yeah, I don't think we are even speaking the same language if you think what you are saying here is in anyway relevant to what you are quoting.
It means rather than praising the idol and such, listen to what they are saying and doing, because what they are saying and doing is their purpose to being with and what is important.
Which is greater? The gold, or the altar that sanctifies the gold?
Matthew 23
16Woe unto you, ye blind guides, which say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor!
17Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold?
18And, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever sweareth by the gift that is upon it, he is guilty.
19Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifieth the gift?

Who ever claims to have seen Christ is a liar and false prophet. You are just attention whores that probably don't have any friends so you go online and post bogus stories about seeing Jesus so people will think you are important. Televangelist do the same thing...to get money though.

3:52. When Jesus found unbelief on their part he said: "Who will be my helpers to the work of God?" The Disciples said: "We are God's helpers; we believe in God, and do thou bear witness that we are Muslims."
Muslims were not on this planet in times of Yeshua just after y. 600 Mohammed had visions in cave when he meditated and after he created islam and muslims, so this pasage is lie.

Why do we need to see Him? We all feel Him even though some of us choose not to acknowledge Him. We all know He's there, here, in us and around us all the time. I'm not sure we can see Him but those that claim they have, I have no way of judging whether they have or not and it really makes no difference to me because the Love I feel coming from Him is much more important to me than just seeing Him.
