This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

The God of the OT does communicate directly with humans: Moses,
Abraham, and divers prophets.

Interestingly, in Christianity humanity *is* in some sense above
angels -- Paul says in one of the letters that we are to "judge"
angels ("judge," I presume, being taken in the Hebrew sense of
governing and leading into warfare).
