1 | John the baptist and Elijah | Luke 1:17 | Four Square | 120502 | ||
why in mt 17:12 Jesus is telling that John the baptist was Elijah?? Was Jesus conveying that Elijah was re born as John the baptist?? | ||||||
2 | John the baptist and Elijah | Luke 1:17 | WalkingTalkingBible | 120503 | ||
Jesus said that John the Baptist "shall go before Him in the spirit and power of Elias (Elijah). . . Luke 1:17 (KJV)" Elijah was not reborn as John the Baptist. Luke 1:13-17 shows the Angel, Gabriel, telling Zacharias, the father of John the Baptist, that he would have a son who would be the forerunner to the Messiah. Does this answer your question?

Hi, WalkingTalkingBible! How do you come to the conclusion that Jesus is talking on Luke 1:17--are you saying that Luke 1:11 identifies the angel of the Lord as Christ Jesus or are you saying that Jesus is an angel? God Bless! Angel |

As it has been explained to me in Bible studies, there isn't any scripture to say whom the angel was. | ||||||

Hi, Bruce7! In the Old Testament the angel or Angel of the Lord is revealed as Yahweh or Yahweh's working power, the Holy Spirit... it is also revealed as just a messenger: ergo, angel. In Luke 1:11 we find that same terminogy; a terminology which could be interpreted as we please (if that were the type of book that the Bible is)... but, if we follow the logical line of the revelation, we find that the angel identifies himself to Zachary as Gabriel (Luke 1:19); for us to interprete the Bible as saying that Jesus is the angel Gabriel would be usurping God's authority and defiling Christ's Divinity. Please reread the passage (Luke 1:5-22) and view it in light of Luke 1:26-38; John 1:1-18; Isaiah 9:6, 7:14, 43:10, 42:8; and Revelation 22:3, 12-16). God Bless! Angel |

An angel could be a variety of diety's or divine beings. Since we are not told, the message is what is impotant. | ||||||
7 | John the baptist and Elijah | Luke 1:17 | JCrichton | 120853 | ||
An angel is not diety nor divine... An angel is a servant of God the Only Divine Being! Again, if you read further to Luke 1:19, the angel--a messenger of God--anounces to Zachary that he is Gabriel. There is no doubt that the angel of the Lord who is speaking to Zachary is only a messenger, not God! There is no other way that I can make this any clearer to you: Luke 1:19: The angel replied, 'I am Gabriel, who stand in God's presence, and I have been sent to speak to you and bring yo this good news. The angel answered, "I am Gabriel. I stand in the presence of God, and I have been sent to speak to you and to tell you this good news. And the angel answering said unto him, I am Gabriel, that stand in the presence of God; and am sent to speak unto thee, and to shew thee these glad tidings. "I am Gabriel," the angel answered, "I stand in the presence of God, who sent me to speak to you and tell you this good news. I could offer other Biblical versions... they will express the same thing: the angel, a servant of God, is Gabriel. God Bless! Angel |

The Bible makes mention of several angels or angel[s] of the Lord. Most are not identified by proper name. My entry's are not for argument, but for teaching. We must always remember to focus on the Word or message. Whom it is is not as important as what is being pronounced. Time is short, we must focus on what God wants us to do in this limited time,ie; minister, study, meditate, help our neighbors and the Helpless and Homless, and to heal. the New World Order is fast approaching. We must be united with God and Jesus, Our Lord Our God. 1Pet2:21 Col 2:6 1Cor 12:24-25 | ||||||

Hi, Bruce7! I do not normally get involved with the "who," "why," "what ifs," "how many times," "grammatical content," etc... But your original post suggested that Jesus was the speaker in Luke 1:11, this plays into the falicy that is being taught as Christian doctrine that Jesus is not God, that He is merely an angel--be it glorified or not an angel is not God, and Jesus, being God, cannot be demoted to a creature! If you were not issuing forth such an argument, please accept my apologies! God Bless! Angel |

I believe you have me transposed with another respondent. I didn't enter anything about Jesus being an angel. | ||||||

"Jesus said that John the Baptist "shall go before Him in the spirit and power of Elias (Elijah). . . Luke 1:17 (KJV)"" (WalkingTalkingBible) "As it has been explained to me in Bible studies, there isn't any scripture to say whom the angel was." Hi, Bruce7! The post which I originally replied to was by WalkingTalkingBible (as per top quote); your consequent responses began with the second quote. Since your quote suggested some support for the idea that the angel in question was Jesus--the erronous idea on which some congregations base their dogma--I concluded that you were suggesting that Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, was an angel. My previous post attempted to clarify this and I apologized if you indeed were not attempting to teach that Christ is anything other than God. Again, I apologize for any misunderstanding we may have had--but we are to witness to Christ and challange any doctrine that preaches a Christ other than the Biblical Christ: the Emmanuel: the Alpha and the Omega! God Bless! Angel |
