That wasn't a case of someone appearing to someone else in a vision to give them a message. That is what I'm talking about. I'm saying that God sends angels to do that, not men. I don't believe that Acts 16:9 is talking about a human appearing to Paul in a vision and talking to him. How is any...

You apparently have forgotten what you said that I was responding to, so I'll show you. You are trying to claim that you were only making comments in relation to Zechariah 14 here and not to any other OT scriptures even though you said "The author of Luke/Acts presents that the OT scriptures -...

Where do you get the idea that "the broader scientific community" disagrees "pretty unanimously" from? You act like you've done research studies on this and have interviewed every scientist in the world. I highly doubt that your claim is accurate. There are a few full preterists here who have...

That is a very minor disagreement (not sure if we actually disagree since I think you're just not understanding my point about that) and no one would think you're running away by bowing out of the discussion. You made several good points in this discussion. I think there isn't anything new to...

You're just not getting my point, but it's not a big deal. I'll just try to explain it one more time. Did Ananias speak to Paul in the vision itself and give him a message from God? No. In the vision Paul only saw Ananias putting his hand on him (Paul) so that he could see again. There's no...

LOL! You continue to waste your time with your foolish straw man arguments. Never have I referred to winged angels or anything like that. I have said repeatedly that I believe they are spirit beings, not physical beings. You continue to miss every point that is made. You seem to have terrible...

You have refuted nothing. Instead, you make ridiculous claims like saying Gabriel is Jesus Christ and claiming that the account of the demon-possessed man with many evil spirits/demons is just a parable and that Jesus was made a little lower than human messengers and all kinds of nonsense like...

I specifically made the point about men being used in visions to give people messages from God. I do not believe that God uses men to do that, and instead uses angels like Gabriel to do that. Paul saw a vision of an action that Ananias would do, but there was no message given by Ananias to Paul...

Scripture like that one and many more very clearly differentiate between angels and humans, but TS denies it, anyway. You could show him a scripture that says 1 + 1 = 2 in a mathematical context and he will find a way to make 1 + 1 = 11 or anything but 2.

The so-called "truths" that he keeps proclaiming are that spirit beings called angels don't exist and that Gabriel is Jesus Christ. You are allowing this false teacher to influence you. Why? I thought you said you do believe in spirits beings called angels, including evil spirits like Satan and...

You lost me on this one. I have no idea what your point is here. You can try to explain it if you want or we can move on.

That's why I mentioned it again. To make sure no one misses it so that people can see how outlandish this guy's views are and that he can't be trusted to teach the truth from God's word.

Why are you so supportive of someone who denies the existence of angels, including Satan and demons, and claims that Gabriel is Jesus Christ?

@rwb You liked this post, so does that mean you agree with him that Gabriel is Jesus Christ? Gabriel is described as an angel (Luke 1:19,26). But, it's not possible that Gabriel or any angel is Jesus Christ. Hebrews 1:5 For to which of the angels did He ever say: “You are My Son, Today I have...

Just thought I'd quote this ridiculous claim again for all to see, in case anyone missed it. You've outdone yourself with this one. And what do you do with the following text which differentiates between the angels who will be with Jesus when He comes to judge and the people who are gathered...

Yeah, and you weren't telling her that she had a face like a human, which would've been obvious, either. It's clear that the text relating to Stephen was differentiating his own face, a human face, with that of a non-human called an angel. That wasn't a vision like the ones people had while...

@TribulationSigns says the devil is the spirit of disobedience in man. Is that how the spirit of disobedience in man would be described? I would say definitely not. The spirit of disobedience in man does not "walketh about" as "a roaring lion" while "seeking whom he may devour. The text implies...

LOL. You just don't get it. Why would be the reason for pointing out something obvious like that? As if we need to be told his face looked like that of a human for some reason? We couldn't figure that out if the text didn't tell us that? No, the reason it says he looked as if he had the face...

Do you consider snakes/serpents (the animals) to be evil? They are not. Them being subtle simply refers to their ability to be unnoticeable before their strike their prey and has nothing to do with them being evil. And nowhere does it say that serpents are cunning, which is a word used to...

Not entirely. I certainly disagree with his view that the thousand years would occur after Jesus returns. I don't know a lot about what else he believed. He was just as wrong about that as he was with his Chiliast belief regarding the timing of the thousand years.
