Re: HELP! I Just Watched An In Depth & Unorthodox Bible Study Video That Shook My Fai
1. 'Angel' simply means messenger. That messenger may be a created being or a Theophany...an appearance of God Himself.
Context will determine which.
2. Never mentioned a joke (you're not RedTent are you?). Again, a Theophany.
3.Jesus never said "I am only a representative''. Don't do satan's work misquoting Him. Jesus did say ''I AM''. (remember the burning bush?)
4.Another Theophany.
5. Where in the world do you get satan being called God the Father out of the following?
1 Chronicles 21:1-2 And Satan stood up against Israel, and provoked David to number Israel.
And David said to Joab and to the rulers of the people, Go, number Israel from Beer-sheba even to Dan; and bring the number of them to me, that I may know it.
Also, you didn't answer this - is Gen 31:11-13 greater than John 1:1? Why or why not?
You say that the bible doesn't give an exact answer to who the angel who is called God is, but it does. The following 2 verses "mirror" each other and speak on the same exact event...
1 Chron 21:1,
SATAN incited David to number the people.
2 Sam 24:1,
JEHOVAH incited David to number the people.
So yes, it did bother me when I saw Wayne say this in the video. How can it not bother me. In the same bible that says that there is an angel of God who is God, it also says that Satan is God the Father. How am I supposed to not be troubled by that?
God allowing satan to incite David to number the people does not equate satan with God.
Gen 31:11-13 Genesis 31:11-13 And the angel of God spake unto me in a dream, saying, Jacob: And I said, Here am I.
And he said, Lift up now thine eyes, and see, all the rams which leap upon the cattle are ringstraked, speckled, and grisled: for I have seen all that Laban doeth unto thee.
I am the God of Beth-el, where thou anointedst the pillar, and where thou vowedst a vow unto me: now arise, get thee out from this land, and return unto the land of thy kindred.
What does that have to do with John 1:1? John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Which is greater? It's all God's Word. Jn. 1:1 reveals more of Christ.
Please stick to one question at a time...I am not a multi tasker, besides I gave you 5 answers previously with only a criticism from you in return.
