And so do I, in case you missed it.

I'm not following you, kland. In the Bible, both in the OT and in the NT, the meaning of the word translated as "angel" is "messenger." So Jesus Christ is the Chief Messenger. Why does He have to be a created being?


Christ is not a created being.
He is the Divine commander of the angelic hosts.
Yes, He is the chief Messenger, the Word, TO all the created intelligent beings.
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God," John 1:1

But now --
wasn't the elder that spoke to John also a messenger?

Kland's rather "tongue in check" comments stirs the thought that --
Christ is called an Archangel, but He is NOT one of created heavenly angels.
The elder is called a strong angel -- a strong messenger? or one of the heavenly angels?

"When Jesus, as he hung upon the cross, cried out, It is finished, the rocks rent, the earth shook, and some of the graves where shaken open; for when Jesus arose from the dead,... many of the righteous dead came forth as witnesses that he had risen. Those favored, resurrected saints came forth glorified. They were a few chosen and holy ones who had lived in every age from creation, even down to the days of Christ.
" Those who were resurrected were of different stature and form....Some of those raised were more noble in appearance and form than others. I was informed that those who lived in the days of Noah and Abraham were more like the angels in form, in comeliness and strength." {Spiritual Gifts Vol. 1 pages 69-70}

Any wonder that Ellen White could call that elder an engel?

Can we therefore safely discard those novel ideas of Stephen Bohr?

That's exactly what I was saying. I didn't think it was unclear, but I guess it was to some.

Are these two comments not in opposition?

In my estimation they support each other. You may have missed the point where EGW stated that some of the elders who had lived on earth at the time of the patriarchs had the appearance like angels.

It's possible that Stephen Bohr is discarding those ideas himself evidenced by making his video at YouTube private.


In His Love, Mercy & Grace,

People can have the appearance like angels.
I thought Bohr was saying the elders were people of other planets.
What am I missing?
