Not hella-stic, hella-stic.

That's why people think that Christianity was made up, because we tend to put everything in a category.

Well, it's just shorthand.

Yeah, that's why he would refer to, I'll put my name in him.

Remember the angel of the Lord?

Well, who's that?

Because he was given the same respect as Yahweh.

And you're like, well, wait a minute.

Isn't he just an angel or is the word of the Lord, the angel of the Lord?

And so I think most people...

get the idea there, oh, this is the son pre-becoming a human.

Yeah, I don't think there's any, you know, when you go back to the creation story, when does the evil one show up?

When God institutes marriage and the foundation of a family, which is why I also think that John brings up Cain first.

In 1 John 3, I mean, just think about the passage.

Where is that in Malachi where it says God hates divorce?

And then he goes on to say because he wants godly offspring because he's thinking, he's saying what nobody likes to say out loud is divorce is destructive to the kids involved more than anybody else.

And so when does he show up?

Right when the family is being instituted, because in this whole idea of love, you see God's plan at work throughout all generations.

You want to pass this on.

And you have the family model.
