When an angel speaks a message other than God's

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... 

The apostle Paul said:

 

Galatians 1:8   But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.

There is only one gospel, and that is the Word that is from God, the Holy Scriptures.

 

Angels carry messages from God.

 

What if a message comes to you which is opposite from the Bible?

 

Many years ago, a woman told me that when she met her 2nd husband, she heard this, "He's going to be your husband."

 

She, a divorced woman, did marry this man.

 

I wondered about that for several years.  How could this message have been from God when it went against that which we see in the Bible.

 

If a divorced woman remarries, according to Bible, she commits adultery.

 

Romans 7:1-3 Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth?

2 For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband.

3 So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man.

Recently the scripture in Galatian 1, spoken by the apostle Paul, was called to my mind and I recalled this story where my divorced friend had heard Hal was going to be her husband.  

 

And I realized this could have been an evil angel speaking to her a "gospel" which was opposite to the Bible.

 

There are evil angels.  (Psalm 78:49)

 

The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Truth, so the Holy Spirit will always be compatible with scripture when HE speaks a word to us by bringing a concept to our mind.

 

But an angel might bring a message to us also, and that message is usually from God, but if it conflicts with scripture we must not go that way.  It could be an "evil angel" speaking.

 

Galatians 1:8  But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
