Bible Note: 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 |
