Hey all. Just passing thru as I've been extremely busy with life. Wish it would slow down...
Thinking about this today and made myself sit down and ask this to all who profess being a Christian.
Do you doubt the bible? Do you doubt what God says in it? Do you doubt his son Jesus and what he said? Do you doubt that the Bible and God's words are not ...[text shortened]... ough for you? If there is something you don't understand or even agree with, where is the faith?
The Watchtower Organisation is a false prophet. They preach that Jesus is Michael the Archangel, and not the Son of God as Jesus said.

Originally posted by SuzianneYou can't answer a question with a question. I'd like your comments but I asked the question what is an angel according to the bible and if Jesus is or is not an angel since this was asked of me. Do you have an answer for that as I'm trying to keep this thought going without distraction.
I'd like an answer to this, a question that both Robbie and Roigam have evaded.
"I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour." -- Isaiah 43:11, KJV
What do you think this means? And how might this relate to John 14:6?

Originally posted by galveston75Angel means messenger. I have a feeling your argument is going to be that Jesus was a messenger and therefore also an angel. And archangel means chief angel therefore Jesus [the chief messenger] = Micheal the Archangel.

Are you aware that the name Jesus was only given to him as his earthly name? He was never called by that name before he came to earth and was born as a man. Do you have any idea what god's first born was named from the time of his creation until he came to earth?
I'm sure you know this but just trying to establish some basic facts about him....
Originally posted by galveston75With respect, your knowledge about Jesus is based on faith, not 'basic facts' of any description. Believing something doesn't make it factual.

Originally posted by Ghost of a DukeFacts in the bible are facts. Yes faith is needed for things that are not facts. Do you know what his name was before he came to earth?

Originally posted by galveston75Facts in the bible are facts only in as far as facts in the Lord of the Rings are facts. For example it is factual that there was one ring to rule them all, but this has no bearing on the book itself being fictional.

As an atheist i do not view it as factual that he existed before he came to earth, or indeed that he existed at all as the bible describes him. Therefore your question as to his name before he came to earth has no meaning for me. (But thanks for asking).
