1 | Was the OT God of Moses merely an angel? | Ex 3:2 | Reighnskye | 132781 | ||
Srbaegon, My question here would be as to why Gideon would identify a mere angel as God. God does not possess a body, as far as I'm aware. Further, I apologize if I have offended you by stating my personal impression or belief. It would be my hope that if I say something that you feel is not in accord with scripture, that I would still have the freedom to bring it up, so that others could provide a more biblical input. If I reference something as being my personal impression, I hope that people would take it as such, and perhaps even offer an alternate view if they disagree. I have not at this point canonized my personal impressions of the scriptures that I have indeed provided. Nonetheless I have indeed presented some scriptures at the beginning of this thread as to why I believe that the God of the Old Testament is actually an intermediary angel. You are welcome to reference the original verses that I provided, if you wish. - Reighnskye |

2 | Was the OT God of Moses merely an angel? | Ex 3:2 | srbaegon | 132987 | ||
Hello Reighnskye, The most straightforward answer to your question is that Gideon realized that the Angel of the Lord was indeed God. This notion is offensive because it runs contradictory to God's dealings. Moses was given plans for a tabernacle by God as a dwelling place for God. That tells me that he desires to live amongst his people in communion. Also God's original intent was for Israel to be a nation of priests (Exod 19:6). Priests represent men to God. It doesn't make sense to have an angel to be an additional intermediary. Steve |
