Your words are seasoned with salt, DLL! I like the idea of a focused discussion, communicating the truth we see to each other. I claim no special intelligence, just a lifetime comparing Bible teachings with ones of all faiths. I read their literature, too. "God saw good thru the foolishness of preaching to save those believing." Believers are called to a lifelong career of evangelizing ... You must be witnesses of me to ... the ends of the earth A productive attitude is that everyone has goodwill, seeks truth, and wants to serve God in purity. You show such a gracious manner. We cannot judge or condemn another, however benighted they may seem to us as the light of God's truth and holy spirit can penetrate any darkness. But most love darkness rather than the Light. Jn 3:19 I tried answer your questions on what think I of Jesus, but I'll restate. Is He a created being? Yes. who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation; for in him were all things created, in the heavens and upon the earth Col 1:15 These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God Rev 3:14 Is He an angel? Yeshua is Michael, who in Rev 12 and 20 obtains victory over Satan, bruising him in the head as prophesied at Genesis 3:15. He was the Angel of Jehovah's Presence, caring for, guiding, protecting and loving the Jews. Gabriel told Daniel Michael was "your prince." and the "great prince who standeth for the children of thy people" [Dan 10:21, 12:1] When Minoah asked the name of the angel who told him his wife would bear Samuel the answer was: "Why do you ask my name, for it is a Wonderful one." See Isaiah 9:6. In 1 Thess 4:16 Christ has the voice of an Archangel. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven, with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first. Jude 9 names Michael as the Archangel. In Rev 12:7 Michael hurls Satan out of heaven, in Rev 19 Jesus leads the heavenly armies against the nations of the earth. Logically they're the same, unless one's preconception of a trinity prevents such identification. Jesus dealings with mankind began with creation, and remained, as in Proverb 8:30-1 He exclaims: Then I was by him, as a master workman; and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him, Rejoicing in his habitable earth; And my delight was with the sons of men. How fitting that this Mighty God that delighted in humanfolk should die to save us! Good Evening, DLL. Have an excellent Sunday, let's do more next week. Don Martini
