The Israelites during the Old Testement had a directive to know who was from God and who wasn't.
Jer 26:4 And thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the LORD; Did this so called angel say that? No he didn't. That so called angel said "'I am one of your brother Israelites; I have come to these parts to look for work.". An angel came to look for work? Tobias actually told him he would pay him for his time. The so called angel said "I am Azarias, son of the great Ananias, one of your kinsmen." Not once did that so called angel claim to be from God or make the statement "thus saith God" nor did he say he was from God. That all makes him a liar about being an angel.
The Israelites were warned about them.
Num 12:6 And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet among you, I the LORD will make myself known unto him in a vision, and will speak unto him in a dream.
Isa 8:20 To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.
Believe in that false angel and that Tobit is scripture if you want but it's obviously not inspired by God.
It is amazing to me how you keep inventing these man-made “tests” that you impose on angels in scripture. And yet you claim to believe in sola scriptura?
“The Israelites during the Old Testement had a directive to know who was from God and who wasn’t. Jer 26:4 And thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the LORD; Did this so called angel say that? No he didn’t.”
I guess the book of Judges is not in your Bible then? Read all of chapter 13 and tell me where you see “Thus saith the Lord” anywhere in there.
I guess your Bible doesn’t have the Gospel of Matthew? On, I know, that’s a New Testament book so that’s why an angel can appear to Joseph twice and not say, “Thus saith the Lord”, right?
Or how about when the angels came to Elijah in 1 Kings 19:5? Yeah, it isn’t there either. How about that? You don’t have that book in your Bible either, right?
