Comments on: Is Jesus an Angel?? http://www.meglogan.com/2006/10/06/is-jesus-an-angel/ Thoughts on marriage, parenting, homeschool, housekeeping, doctrine and my life.

Think of the angel addressing Abraham before going down to Sodom in Gen. 18, where it says that the Lord appeared to him. The Lord speaks to him, and the Lord was one of those three angels. But the JWs get the wrong end of the stick when they say See? He was an angel! when what they mean is He is not God Almighty! He surely is the Second Person of the Trinity, even though He did appear many times as the Angel of the Lord. I found your blog from the largefamilylogistics blog.

The deceived people of this organization should be treated with respect on the simple basis that they are our brothers and sisters in Adam. We owe them that much. They have been deceived. Now about the things you believe in, that is perfectly fine as long as it is respectful to others. But for the life of me I do not grasp the possibility of not embracing the Gospel, as it is there, in plain view, in all the prophecies of the OT, fulfilled in Jesus. Are you still waiting then ? Well, anyway, I do not think that you are the proper person to discuss deity of Christ with anybody, because of where you are coming from. In fact, your understanding of Our Lord is no different than that of Islam... Anna Vicki,

To make it easier for people to understand me, I am of the Jewish Faith. So that being said, here goes... The JW's are just wacko, plain and simple. As everybody knows, Jews don't believe Jesus is G-d or the son of G-d. We believe he was a prophet. Nothing more. Now here's an interesting fact. When you look up Jesus Christ, the definition in a standard dictionary will say, "The Son of G-d". If you ever feel like digging, and I mean really digging, the term Jesus Christ does not mean The Son of G-d, but "A Son of G-d" There's a big difference between the word "The" and "A". So when you really think about it, we are all children of G-d. Everyone is entitled to their opinions and beliefs so here is mine.

There are verses that the JWs forgot to change when they printed the New World Translation. Check equip dot com for the Christian Research Institute's reasoning on it all. I think they had the best list that I remember. In Hebrews, we see that Jesus is superior to any angel.
