Tell me how Abraham was supposed to know what Paul wrote.

Just goes to show the mind trails that people who are ignorant try to put others through.

Not that most people in this forum are not as ignorant as moonbus.

Seriously, anyone know why Abraham would not know about Paul's warning?

Can you cite a reference to Kierkegaard's work? I have Kierkegaard on my shelf, he's on the 'read this someday' list but haven't gotten round to him yet.
The work you will be looking for is Fear & Trembling.

The book starts right off on the topic.

Here is a link to a free PDF online:

No, moonbus is.

He is the one wondering why Abraham did not follow Paul's instruction. He is wondering why the instruction would apply to Joseph Smith and why not Abraham.

Exodus 3:2 - That was Christ before incarnation as a man.

A number of times Christ appears as the Angel of Jehovah in the Old Testament before His incarnation as a man through the virgin Mary.

The archangel, Michael, is the chief angel in terms of power and authority. The Scriptures clearly indicate that Michael is another name for Jesus Christ.​—1 Thessalonians 4:16; Jude 9.


No it doesn't Galveston. Both your verses there are forced shoe-ins of highly dubious stretching.

The most important mission of the Jehovah's Witnesses, their single and central motivation is to teach that Jesus Christ is not God.

Of the hundreds of other things they teach, more or less true, their most important doctrine to proclaim is that Jesus Christ is not God.

So they say He is Michael the archangel. He has to be somebody. They have chosen the angel Michael for Christ to be rather than Jehovah God incarnated.

Excuse me for the side note to this discussion on Abraham's obedience.

So your logic is:
Jesus is an angel of God
Jesus is God
Mary was with child by God
Jesus impregnated Mary
Jesus is his own Father.

Great doctrine.
No wonder you are in a cult.
Your brain is a mess.

He did not say that. You are putting words in his mouth.
