I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star. Judging that Abraham recognized the 'men' before they were speaking it was Christ as High Priest and two others, Gabriel and Michael possibly as they are mentioned in Daniel. It is also quite likely that Abraham's relationship with this particular Priest may not have been as good as it could have just due to the torment Abraham went through on the deal with killing his own child and when he had 'overcome that' the whole thing was called off by an Angel or Christ as an Angel and/or High Priest if his appearance is like it was in the mountain top vision with Elias and Moses and in Re:1. The bargaining part is something I take as Abraham being a bit sarcastic and the undertone was '(Are you sure this time? You have really thought this through to the very end and nothing will ever alter that plan, right??) Having Christ and 2 Angels there would have been when Christ was shown by God how to use a 'special fire' and He will use it on the day the 7 vials are poured out of Satan and his city Babylon. We call it Jerusalem but during the 4 days the two witnesses are dead in the streets it is in Satan control for the 4 days and then it is burned like Sodom was. Men were prevented from seeing that fire but on the day it is used against Babylon the men that are at the first horizon do witness it and they survive the event as living witnesses. 1,000 years later all the people that have been alive for that period are perfected to the point that they are more holy than fallen angels in that they are 'inside the fire' (protected by the fire) when it sends Satan and all the fallen angels to the fiery lake. The punishment for sin after that moment is to have that happen to you so there is the incentive to avoid breaking God's rules. Joh:5:19: Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.

Thank You, Jesus Christ! (OP) User ID: 72452244 United States 07/10/2016 11:47 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Oh, you're not a trinitarian anymore? Tired of having your lies exposed, huh? That's good, you should accept the Gpd of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Jesus insteadof running after idols. I wasn't talking about the men visiting Abraham, but the angels Jacob wrested. And no, he is not called an angel in Genesis, but in Hosea. Maybe you should look up the meaning of the word elohim? Likewise, the men visiting Abraham, are called angels in Genesis 19:1 (two of them), and theburning bush is referred to an the angel (malakh/messenger) of YHWH in Exodus 3:2. Your last point couldn't be any more fitting. The point is the Pharisees didn't understand who he was, and they didn't understand his words, yet here you are crediting them for their spiritual discernment when their entire mission was to produce a false accusation. John 8:43-44 43 Why do you not understand what I say? It is because you cannot bear to hear my word. 44 You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies. Don't accuse, pray. Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. John 5:39 The prophets knew God was not a respecter of men, therefore why would they be? They did not speak of the Messiah as some special man, but of their God as a man. Because it was not them speaking but the Spirit through them. I was looking up "Logos" earlier and this is a quote from the Wiki page: Justin Martyr Quoting: [link to en.wikipedia.org (secure)] Logos (Christianity)Following John 1, the early Christian apologist Justin Martyr (c 150) identified Jesus as the Logos.[29][30] Like Philo, Justin also identified the Logos with the Angel of the LORD, and used this as a way of arguing for Christianity to Jews: "I shall give you another testimony, my friends, from the Scriptures, that God begot before all creatures a Beginning, [who was] a certain rational power [proceeding] from Himself, who is called by the Holy Spirit, now the Glory of the Lord, now the Son, again Wisdom, again an Angel, then God, and then Lord and Logos;" There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. Ephesians 4:4-6 SALVATION IS ONLY 1 PRAYER AWAY!! Lord Jesus I am a sinner. Please forgive me of all of my sins and fill me with your Holy Spirit and help me stop all sinning. Thank you Jesus! Amen! |

Oh wait, the words of the one you profess to follow aren't that important to those calling him God. Forgot. Quoting: Monotheism And they didn't accuse him of claiming to be the God Most High, they accused of being a theos (elohim). There no definite article in the text, which there is when the Greek text speaks of the Most High. What a symbolic image though: his persecuters getting ready to stone him to death. Christians on the sidelines agreeing to the charges. That says it all. I don't follow what you're saying here. But I have a question. How do YOU define "blasphemy"? Or, what IS blasphemy? We want to be in agreement with what is true, so what is the truth regarding blasphemy? SALVATION IS ONLY 1 PRAYER AWAY!! Lord Jesus I am a sinner. Please forgive me of all of my sins and fill me with your Holy Spirit and help me stop all sinning. Thank you Jesus! Amen! |

(in all likelihood) The Angel that stopped Abraham from killing his own child would have been that same 'angel' and this would have been Christ acting as the High Priest of Salem.

Thank you for a word of fear of the Lord. However, that viewpoint implies that angels will die throughout eternity when/if they sin. What I am certain of is that we will know, as the angels did and do, that we CAN do what is wrong, but will never want to ever again knowing what disobedience can cause, yet knowing it will never happen again; Reason how there will be no more death with your premise there will be death throughout eternity; And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. Revelation 21:4 Only God can make a promise on the future. If we can't believe in his promises then we can't have faith in him. SALVATION IS ONLY 1 PRAYER AWAY!! Lord Jesus I am a sinner.

Not everybody believes in the bible and it would be nice if the number, for once, could be confirmed from other sources. How come historians of that time did not have much to say about Jesus if he really did all the miracles he was supposed to have worked? All I hear is what the bible says.

In it Abracadabra is the only god you will need and it will send its son, Pokémon, to save you all. All it asks is you believe in it and worship it. In return it will give you eternal life at its right side in heaven. Pokémon will work miracles and raise people from the dead. But historians will not know him. Who cares. You will have the book "The Words of Abracadabra" to quote from. The book will be sold for $100, down from its usual price of $300. Shucks, I do need a new home and a new car. |
