Icemoon:
In the first place, I said I don't know the reality the verse is
trying to portray. By answering
those questions with yes, you are the one setting up the
strawman!
Almost spilt my coffee when i read this....
Definition of strawman argument here.
Position X (mine): God and Jesus are latreuo on the throne.
Position Y (yours): "so if the fellows in Alice in
Wonderland prostrate in front of the Queen (with the cheshire cat
sitting on her lap), you cannot say they are worshipping the cat
right?"
Get it?
I'm not sure if you think "i dont know" is a position,
but answering those questions with yes was a
simple way of presenting my case. If you think
that's strawman argument, pls suggest how to present my case to
you.
And I did use the analogy of the queen and her cheshire cat. If
the queen were to sit on the throne with her cat on her lap and you
prostrate in front of her, are you prostrating to her or her cat?
Kaoz .. this is common sense isn't it? No-one will think that they
are prostrating in front of the cat!
Using your irreverent example ... You and
i know that God is not One who will share His glory. Furthermore,
He is so particular about who we offer worship to, do you not think
He will put the cat down first?
the throne of
God and of the lamb simple to understand. picture this. a throne in
the room for the high king. a lesser throne for JC at the
side.
Rev 22:3 --> throne, not throne(s).
