Wow! You are clairvoyant also? Knowing what I would do ey? And don't change the question and the answer to it. Here's your question again.
>>If an angel of the Lord told me to, I would. You probably would do no differently.<<
Do you live "centuries before Christ? I surely don't. You said you would. I said I would not without testing the spirit to see if it was from God.
“Wow! You are clairvoyant also?”
No more than you. You said you wouldn’t do anything and linked that to a knowledge of Jesus, but Jesus hadn’t come yet so it wasn’t even a logical comment on your part.
“Knowing what I would do ey?”
Well, let’s test that. It’s 600 BC, an angel of the Lord appears to you and tells you to do something. And you say you would say no because “he didn’t give the credit to Jesus”?
“And don’t change the question and the answer to it. Here’s your question again.”
I changed NOTHING. We were talking about Tobit OR DID THAT JUST SLIP YOUR MIND EVER SO CONVENIENTLY NOW?
“Do you live “centuries before Christ?”
Tobit did.
“I surely don’t.”
Tobit did - and I seriously doubt you FORGOT that that was who we were talking about.
“You said you would.”
Absolutely - in Tobit’s time or now. If an angel of the Lord appeared to me, I would be obedient.
“I said I would not without testing the spirit to see if it was from God.”
No, you said this:
“Not if he didn’t Not if he didn’t give the credit to Jesus I wouldn’t. “Test the spirits whether they be of God” and all that.
Thus, your “test” is whether or not he “give[s] the credit to Jesus”. Yet, in Acts 12 we see an angel appears to Peter in prison and tells him to get up, get dressed and put his sandals on, and follow him out of the prison. Never once does the angel any ANYTHING about Jesus, the Father, or the Holy Spirit. So, you would have failed the angel on your “test” and stayed in prison and died if you were Peter, right? Way to go! Notice what it says in Acts 12:11:
11 And Peter came to himself, and said, “Now I am sure that the Lord has sent his angel and rescued me from the hand of Herod and from all that the Jewish people were expecting.”
So Peter comes to himself and realizes that it was most definitely an Angel of the Lord BECAUSE IT WORKED in rescuing him. He had no other test than that for that angel. I trust Peter’s reasoning a lot more than yours.
When an angel appears to Philip in Acts 8, he says NOTHING about giving credit to Jesus. Philip obeys him without question.
In Acts 10, an angel appears to Cornelius and says EXACTLY NOTHING about giving credit to Jesus. Cornelius obeys him without question.
