I see no Biblical support for it. But I do see your false supposition of trying to link the Archangel Michael with being our Lord Jesus Christ (like in your above tirades about Michael being The Branch of the OT prophets), which is a Jehovah's Witness leaning to equate the Archangel Michael as being our Lord Jesus; that idea is not a doctrine written anywhere in God's Word. And what I've said about angels having the image of man is... very Biblical, but it still does not mean they have to manifest in flesh to be seen as men, on earth, as there is no Biblical evidence for that supposition of fleshy angels.JosyWales said:I now understand that false Preterism is what is the cause of much of the negative feedback I am getting about my beliefs. I believe in NO FORM of Preterism, whether full or partial, and I have shown a straight forward method of proving it to not be so.
I have shown much biblical support that Michael WILL be born as a man, and will fulfill the prophecies of the Angel with the writers inkhorn in Ezekiel and the mighty and strong Angel of Revelation. Your example has no relation to this event. You mention that since several Angels appear in the bible (and are called men by the way since you forgot to mention that) that this somehow negates Micheal following the footsteps of Jesus by being born in the flesh. You do err.
You reveal you don't really understanding what the Preterist doctrines are about. Out of one side of your mouth you make the claim all these prophecies were already fulfilled, and then deny Preterist doctrine as a whole. Preterism is from the word 'preter' which means 'to be past'. What those who began the Preterist doctrines of men have done is simply opened up a can of falseness so as to pick and choose whatever prophecy they don't want to throw in it, saying it was already fulfilled historically, with new additions thrown into the can gradually.JosyWales said:First, I do not think it is any more crazy than thinking all these prophecies in both the OT and NT are already fulfilled. Preterism, either in full or part, to me is the ultimate of crazy, but everyone is entitled to their opinion. Also since Jesus Christ Himself established this unusual precedent of being born on earth in the flesh, to say that Michael could not follow suit is blind, especially considering the biblical evidence to support the physical actions being done on the earth by these people who are called both Angels and men, which have not been fulfilled yet as they are written no matter what any try to say.
Actually, to assume that just because our Lord Jesus was born of woman (to die on the cross), thinking that means any of God's angels could be born flesh, that reveals strong deception against what God's Word teaches. The word angel itself simply means a messenger, but in the Biblical context it is put for Heavenly messengers not of this world, not born as flesh men. That's Bible 101, which it sounds like you may have never had or need to get back to.
