Jesus is Not an Angel

December 28, 2011 by mattperman

How angels respond to worship: And when I heard and saw them, I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who showed them to me, but he said to me, “You must not do that! I am a fellow servant with you and your brothers the prophets, and with those who keep […]
