Dude, you can't always read into everybody's posts like that. You can't just assume would people wanted to say or what they wanted to do and then claim this is their actual goal.

It's Wrong. It's simply wrong.

"He cited the story of Jacob who wrestled with an angel and ended up prevailing,.."

Correct me if I'm mistaken, but Jacob didn't prevail. At least the way I see it. Jacob ended up crippled.

Since when do angels lose wrestling matches? What's more, it wasn't an angel. Verse 24 of chapter 32 in Genesis says it was a man Jacob wrestled with.

Of course it appears Jacob had the man in a full Nelson.
All angels appeared as men. You think they appeared with wings? In any case the other parts of the bible referred to the incident as Jacob fighting with an angel.
