The only time we see someone "hiding" in the gospels is Peter, when he denies Christ three times.
It was an act of cowardice and betrayal that is famous for its infamy, the evil and wicked act it was.
Mat 26:69-75 “Weren’t you with Jesus, the man from Galilee?” But he denied it before them all,
saying “I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Then when he had gone out into the porch, another maid caught
sight of him and said to those who were there, “This man was with Jesus of Nazareth.” And again he denied it with
an oath—“I don’t know the man”! A few minutes later those who were standing about came up to Peter and said to
him, “You certainly are one of them, you know; it’s obvious from your accent.” At that he began to curse and
swear—“I tell you I don’t know the man!” Immediately the cock crew, and the words of Jesus came back into
Peter’s mind—“Before the cock crows you will disown me three times.” And he went outside and wept bitterly.
You are making headway with this captive slave of the "organization" This is good news.
The CORE issues are not arguments over prophesy, they are the exact issues you are addressing, the
underpinning of their own apostasy in placing themselves equal or above Christ and stepping into the position of
"Mediator", even to their own 144,000? Lets not even discuss the fact there are NO literal numbers in Revelation,
where is the Biblical proof for the seperation of yet ANOTHER "Class". Is this then a Class within a Class ???
heavenly-earthly- special mediators ? What happens to you are all ONE in the Christ ? Galatians 3:26-29 26-29
For now that you have faith in Christ you are all sons of God. All of you who were baptised “into” Christ have put on the family likeness of Christ. Gone is the distinction between Jew and Greek, slave and free man, male and female—you are all one in Christ Jesus. And if you belong to Christ, you are true descendants of Abraham, you are true heirs of his promise.
