Is the angel in Revelation 22:8 simply not getting this "love and respect" angle?
“Is the angel in Revelation 22:8 simply not getting this “love and respect” angle?”
The angel was being worshipped. He was right to stop that. No one is worshipping the pope. The angel understood perfectly. You apparently don’t.
It says he fell down to “worship”, not in honor, or in respect, etc. That is why the angel said, “Do not do that”.
