I would like to ask if there has been anyone attempting to get this position besides Jesus 2000 years ago. If not, who can I talk to if I feel we're closing in on a time these events need to occur? Silly question to ask among men, but could I? I feel as God accepted my role as the lamb for the new age, not the current because Jesus is, I feel accepted and ready in a couple more months from the last three 3 years in prayer. HELP???!!!

Jason, are you on something or just a troll? I find it hard to believe that this is a sincere question. If it is not blasphemy, it is certainly a hair's breadth from the line.

Maybe a little of both, and I've never been on anything, but it is a sincere question, and there is no blasphemy if it comes from sincerity.

Forgive me if I doubt the sincerity. There is only ONE Lamb and that is Christ. Not sure what you have been praying, but there is no additional or replacement Lamb position open.
May I ask how long you have been saved and are you studying the Bible? More importantly, who are your mentors?

Dear Jason,
I don't know if you are still on line or even desiring an answer still. But let me attempt to answer your question from God's word. There can only be one lamb which takes away the sins of the world. Because of the nature of such a lamb, it had to be divine, only God could fulfill such a role.
Exodus 12 gives the particulars of such a lamb which would be sacrificed each year to remove the sins for the nation for that year.
On the 10th day of Nisan in the Jewish Calendar, roughly analogous to our month of April, a perfect lamb was chosen and approved by the entire congregation. It was placed on full public display for the next 5 days. On the 15th day of Nisan, it was suspended on the altar between heaven and earth for 6 hours and then sacrificed at 3pm exactly. The High Priest would then utter the words, "It is finished."
On the 10th day of Nisan, Jesus, the Christ, entered the city of Jerusalem and was approved by the people as the Lamb of God which takes away the sins of the world. He remained in public display for the next 5 days and then on the 14th day of Nisan, after a travesty of a trial, our High Priest, Jesus, went up Golgotha hill where He was suspended upon a wooden altar between heaven and earth for 6 hours. At 3pm He gave up His life and uttered the words "It is finished."
Wthout the shedding of blood, there could be no forgiveness of sins. The blood of bulls and goats was not sufficient. It required a holy and divine sacrifice which was Christ Jesus.
His sacrifice was once and for all time sufficient. By His sacrifice He offers a new Testament written in His blood, which saves us all. All of our sins are forgiven, forever. Only one sin is not forgiven, a refusal to accept what Christ has accomplished for us.
If thou shalt confess with thy mouth the LORD Jesus Christ, and believe in thine heart that God has raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth, confession is made unto salvation.
This is God's plan for eternity.
I hope this has been helpful to you. There are many on this board who would be willing to help you with other questions as well.

I didn't say I took away the sins of the world.

Well....let's see, there's the Lamb of God. Jesus Christ. Then if He is God, like he is, who's the Lamb of God?

Paradoxial, but I believe I am He. And I believe within the next 3 years, I am only 24. I will prove I am he, trust me, I can't wait until I'm 28 or so. I will prove it is here and I have started this thread as my first claim.

Jason, you need to find a good church and learn to interpret the Word. You cannot be the Lamb of God. Jesus Christ is the Lamb of God in that He is the One that was chosen to die for our sins like a lamb was used as an offering in the Old Testament. Those lambs only covered our sins. Jesus, the Lamb of God pays for our sins and takes them away.
The only "special" people we will see in the future are the 144,000 male Jewish virgins and the two witnesses. These folks will preach during the Tribulation and the Church is not scheduled to be here so we will be viewing from the grandstands.
You are unique and if you are truly saved God has a special ministry for you but not as the Lamb of God.
