Not necessarily. God gave angels and Lucifer great powers. He even gave them to humans to heal the sick and raise the dead.

Cool. I am the same way. I remember most of what I have read over time. Then, just as in theoretical physics, I believe we can extrapolate about the nature of God, angels, Lucifer, the Big Bang and quantum mechanics.

Yet you blew off God's rule about divorcing a wife who had not been unfaithful. So you have shown that you are willing to ignore God's rules when you find them inconvenient. You, sir, are a moral relativist.

If the bible was as useful as you claim, no extrapolation should be necessary. Further, what would you imagine the consequences about your extrapolations regarding God being wrong might be and how would they differ from the consequences of incorrect extrapolations about the Big Bang?

Incorrect extrapolations about science have major negative consequences. Irrational religious extrapolations lead the mind even further astray.
