2 Peter 1:16-17
16For we did not follow cleverly devised tales when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of His majesty. 17For when He received honor and glory from God the Father, such an utterance as this was made to Him by the Majestic Glory, "This is My beloved Son with whom I am well-pleased
Elijah is not mentioned in your quote. Is it? Please highlight it, if I have missed it.
It is just a conjecture. Is it? please

The verse refers to the Transfiguration where Elijah was present. There is a second prophecy that refers to 2 witnesses who will stand in Jerusalem before Christs return. I believe that one of those will be Elijah.

That's funny, because the RELIGIOUS HYPOCRITICAL Jewish Pharisees said pretty much the same thing about Christ, according to the Bible! And it's recorded in the Bible that Christ was killed, because of BLASPHEMY!

And just because certain CULTS believe all kinds of fallacious nonsense, it doesn't make it anymore factual or true or even credible!

The Truth is true regardless if the whole world believes (in) the Truth, or if the whole world believes that the Truth is false!

So, in My honest humble subjective opinion, objective facts are true regardless who believes what!

Some CULT members believe that their personal religion or theology or denomination is the Word of God and everyone else is going to hell! While other people from a different CULT believe the same thing about the former people's religion. For example, some Catholics believe that the Jehovah's witnesses are CULT members: and conversely, some Jehovah's witnesses believe that Catholicism is a CULT! And there are many more of these hypocritical intolerant bigots who believe that they know and obey God... Etc..

And unless it's BLASPHEMOUS to teach the factual Truth, I am not blaspheming by stating empirical, demonstrable facts about Myself, etc., that everyone can agree on!

Where is the proof for your Jesus?

It seems to Me like most of the world has spiritual Alzheimer's disorder, or spiritual amnesia, etc., because I don't believe that the world could be so gullible and brainwashed and mind controlled, etc..

But I really can't blame the sheep for being so ignorant, because they are followers of the other sheep or whatever is the group consensus!

With that being said, what am I- George Manuel Oliveira, blaspheming about? In your opinion...

You are asserting a narcissistic materialism as being more real than God on the basis of your own say so. Facts can be revealed as well as observed or deduced.

The prophecy was in in the OT:
Malachi 4:5-6New King James Version (NKJV)
5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet
Before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord.
6 And he will turn
The hearts of the fathers to the children,
And the hearts of the children to their fathers,
Lest I come and strike the earth with a curse.”
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Malachi+4:5-6&version=NKJV

The Jewish Bible has only three chapters not four. What is the reference in Jewish Scripture? Why the Christians have added a fourth chapter to Malachi?
Please

Matthew 11:7-15
7And as they departed, Jesus began to say unto the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind? 8But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? behold, they that wear soft clothingare in kings' houses. 9But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? yea, I say unto you, and more than a prophet.
10For this is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.
11Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. 12And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force. 13For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John. 14And if ye will receive it, this is Elias, which was for to come. 15He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

Jesus does not agree with you. Jesus said John was Elias/Elijah. Didn't Jesus disagree with one? Please
