But Exodus 23:20 says: ““Behold, I send an Angel before you to keep you in the way and to bring you into the place which I have prepared.” (Ex 23:20 NKJV) The words are to the Children of Israel on their way to the Promised Land. God promised that He would send an angel or messenger to lead...

If by "Yohannei the Immerser" you mean the same person most of us who speak English call "John the Baptist" or "John the Baptiser," do you believe that he was somehow alive at the time referred to in Exodus 23?

But the NT isn't just about historical facts, is it: It's about doctrine (teaching) too, When Jesus told the disciples to love one another, or when He said, "I am the way, the truth and the life," I suppose the fact that He said those words is historical, but the teaching those words contain is...

I would say both. We have verses like this about the gospel being preached to unbelievers: “And when there had been much dispute, Peter rose up and said to them: “Men and brethren, you know that a good while ago God chose among us, that by my mouth the Gentiles should hear the word of the...

Paul write to Timothy: “All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness,” (2Ti 3:16 NKJV) The word translated "inspiration of God" is the Greek word theopneustos, which I am told means literally...

Well, if they are on earth and not in bodily form, they are spiritual entirely, and completely unaffected by gravity.

I wonder which bible passage you are thinking of that says we can bind evil spirits. I'm not saying that there isn't one, just that I cannot think of it. I certainly don't know of any passage from the bible that mentions us having the ability to loose angels. Loose them from what?

That is not true. Gravity was discovered hundreds of years before NASA was formed.

The bible tells us that God's angels are spiritual beings, although they sometimes appear to people in bodily form.

Yes, I realised I had misread your post - sorry!

Sorry, I really wasn't trying to be a smarty-pants. (Whoops! I have misread what you wrote - you wanted to call yourself a smart-pants.) I suppose the change of the calendar could explain the discrepancy.

Well, the shortest day in the UK is 21st December, but it depends where in the world you are. In Australia, the shortest day is in June. I agree with the rest of your post, though.

True, but many, maybe most, Jews were expecting a military Messiah to defeat the Romans.

The Scriptures say: “and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.” (1Jo 1:7 NKJV)

When the sun sets, if it was just moving further and further away from us, it would appear to get smaller and smaller until it was too far away to be visible. But that is not what we see. At sunset, the sun gradually disappears below the horizon, so that halfway trough the sunset, we just see...

Also, Isaiah 40:22 does not say that the earth is a circle. It mentions the circle or circuit of the earth, but that doesn't mean that the earth is a circle. That would be like saying that "He climbed to the top of the hill" means that the hill is a top, which of course is nonsense.

I disagree with your statement. I believe that the earth is a globe, and I do believe God's infallible word to be 100% true.

Where does God "describe in detail the creation is a circle not a globe?" Genesis 1 & 2 don't mention the earth's shape. Maybe you are thinking of Isaiah 40:22: “It is He who sits above the circle of the earth, And its inhabitants are like grasshoppers, Who stretches out the heavens like a...

On a globe earth too, there is no end to east and west. When you travel north, you eventually would reach the North Pole, and after that, you are travelling south. Similarly with south and the South Pole. That makes the verse about God setting our sins as far away as the east is from the west...

I didn't see his post as changing the subject. Just as the plane is moving, yet a passenger can get up and walk to the toilet without being flung to the wall or the floor because the plane is moving, so a butterfly on a revolving earth can fly on earth without get flung off by the revolving...
