Nick,Was Saul anointed with Holy Spirit after he was the anointed one of God? Yes.The anointing of someone had to do with them being chosen, as in “God's Chosen One”.  The actual rubbing on of oil was for demonstration purposes only – the anointing was done when that one was chosen to have oil rubbed on him, IMO.  For example, Saul had already b…[Read more]

Nick,Because I believe the scriptures. There is no “hidden agenda” or anything. It's just that the angel said he IS the Christ on the day he was born, and I believe that angel.I also believe Simeon when he said God kept His promise to let him see His Christ before he died. After seeing the 8 day old Jesus, Simeon said he could now die in…[Read more]

Job 1:6 is about sons of God, jammin. You seem to think that sons of God ARE God Himself, right? So are all these sons of God “God Almighty Himself”? Or does it make more sense that they are SONS OF God – like it clearly says?

From the JW's:There are instances in which a person was regarded as being anointed because of being appointed by God, even though no oil was put on his head. This principle was demonstrated when Jehovah told Elijah to anoint Hazael as king over Syria, Jehu as king over Israel, and Elisha as prophet in place of himself. (1Ki 19:15, 16) The…[Read more]
