Subject: John the baptist and Elijah |
Bible Note: "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 |
