Who Really Appeared to Moses in the Burning Bush? Moses assumed he was talking to God, but the New Testament gives us clarity. In Acts 7:30 and 7:35, Stephen explains that the one who appeared in the bush was an angel, not God Himself. This matters because it reshapes how we read many Old Testament encounters. Dr. Abel Damina teaches a vital truth many Christians overlook: Everything in the Bible is truly recorded, but not everything recorded is a revelation of God’s character. God inspired the writing of Scripture The stories, conversations, actions, and events were accurately documented. But God did not inspire every action done or statement made by the people in those stories. Some things people assumed or said were based on limited understanding, fear, tradition, or shadows, not the full revelation of Christ. The burning bush account is a perfect example: Moses believed it was God speaking to him. But the New Testament, which holds the interpretation of the Old, tells us it was an angel. This is not a contradiction, it’s clarification. The Bible is a Christocentric book. The Old Testament contains: Shadows and symbols Human assumptions about God Angelic appearances often mistaken for God Progressive revelation leading to Christ. The New Testament brings light, explanation, and correction to Old Testament perceptions. Interpret the Old Testament through Christ and the Apostles. If the New Testament explains or corrects something—that is the accurate interpretation. Don’t attribute to God what He didn’t do or say. Just because it’s documented doesn’t mean God authored the action. God’s true nature is revealed in Christ (Hebrews 1:1–3, John 1:18). If it doesn’t look like Jesus, it’s not God’s character—no matter who claimed it in the Old Testament. Angels often acted or spoke on behalf of God under the Old Covenant. That’s why clarity must come from the New Testament. My final Takeaway: The burning bush wasn’t God in physical manifestation. It was an angel delivering a message within the limits of the Old Covenant. The New Testament shines light on that event to help us separate: What God truly did from What people thought He did. This approach safeguards us from building doctrines on assumptions and aligns us with the revelation of Christ—the true image of God. #AbelDamina #grace #bibleverse #Godisgood #nigeria #canada #followerseveryone #highlightseveryonefollowers #everyonefollowers #facebookviral #hilights Abel Damina

SOME MISUNDERSTOOD OLD TESTAMENT PASSAGES. Read in Light of Christ Many statements in the Old Testament were written from human perception, not full revelation. Here are key examples Dr. Abel Damina often clarifies: 1. “Did God repent?” Moses and other prophets wrote statements like: Genesis 6:6 “It repented the Lord…” 1 Samuel 15:11 “It repenteth me that I made Saul king…” Judges 2:18 “…it repented the Lord…” But later, the same scriptures say: Numbers 23:19 – “God is not a man that He should repent.” So is God confused? No. These are human interpretations, not God changing His mind. They wrote from limited revelation, not Christ. 2. “God came down to check?” Genesis 18:21. “I will go down now and see…” But God is all-knowing. He doesn’t need investigation. That language reflects man’s viewpoint, not God’s limitation. 3. “God wanted to kill Moses?” Exodus 4:24 says the Lord “sought to kill him.” But think about it: Can the Almighty “try” and fail? Does God attempt murder? Of course not. Moses reported based on fear and perception, not accurate revelation. #unveilingchristministry #treandingpost #PureFaith #Christian #AbelDamina #bibleverse #Godisgood #grace #nigeria #canada #usa #bible #followerseveryone #highlightseveryonefollowers #everyonefollowers #facebookviral #trendingpost #hilights Abel Damina
