Bible Note: 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 |
