9 As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus instructed them, “Don’t tell anyone what you have seen, until the Son of Man has been raised from the dead.”10 The disciples asked him, “Why then do the teachers of the law say that Elijah must come first?”11 Jesus replied, “To be sure, Elijah comes and will restore all things. 12 But I tell you, Elijah has already come, and they did not recognize him, but have done to him everything they wished. In the same way the Son of Man is going to suffer at their hands.” 13 Then the disciples understood that he was talking to them about John the Baptist.

I haven't been around because I am in the process of a spiritual awakening.
I decided to leave the foolishness of party politics behind.
I can't stomach the way people treat each other over this stuff.
The powers that be are profiting in every way when we are divided, and hate each other.
The path I am on now is all about love. I have been opening my mind to the universe and what it has to offer.
We are all truly connected. We cannot lose sight of that.
There is so much more to life than this petty bickering.
I want to encourage you all to heal your traumas, cleanse, and balance your chakras, and spend time in meditation and prayer every day.
I pray into my day, and out of my day.
I am now a Certified Advanced Crystal Healer, Certified Chakra Healer, and am currently learning Reiki.
I started a crystal and metaphysical business, and I am writing a book.
I can honestly say I have never been happier.
I want that for all of you too.
If you ever need an internet barrister, I am on the job.
If you don't win, you don't pay!

Hey, hey, show some respect. This is a book of the BIBLE you're talking about.
Idunno what "malachi" means, but it doesn't sound like an appropriate adjective for holy writ.
Cussing in ANY language in reference to scripture is disrespectful.

If gender is not sex, why should a gender claim change what sex you shower with?

I agree.. It extends to all scriptures.
Respecting anothers beliefs is a good thing. Unless it leads to harm of others.

malachi 44 “Remember the law of my servant Moses, the decrees and laws I gave him at Horeb for all Israel.5 “See, I will send the prophet Elijah to you before that great and dreadful day of the Lord comes. 6 He will turn the hearts of the parents to their children, and the hearts of the children to their parents; or else I will come and strike the land with total destruction.”

he clearly stated that he is who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he (john the baptist).

there are a lot of differences between the old testament and the new testament.

if they choose to ignore Jesus and what he said, yes they got the new testament wrong. but it is more than ignoring Jesus, they say he did not mean what he said.FOS » 12 Mar 2023, 10:34 am » wrote: ↑ so you are the master theologist here to tell us that everyone got the new testament wrong,. jesus clearly was saying john the baptist is actually god. that is your position?

like i said, you are just being confused by a literary device. this was a common sort of figure of speech in biblical language, and i think you simply must not be accustomed to it.

ok so explain how this is a literary device.

Jesus also made it clear that John the baptist was not an angel but no more than a mortal man. He included that so people could not say that only elijah could come back.FOS » 12 Mar 2023, 11:29 am » wrote: ↑ like i said, you are just being confused by a literary device. this was a common sort of figure of speech in biblical language, and i think you simply must not be accustomed to it.

matthew 11 ----
11 Truly I tell you, among those born of women there has not risen anyone greater than John the Baptist; yet whoever is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. 12 From the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven has been subjected to violence,[d] and violent people have been raiding it. 13 For all the Prophets and the Law prophesied until John. 14 And if you are willing to accept it, he is the Elijah who was to come. 15 Whoever has ears, let them hear.
