Christians will be changed in the resurrection, and will no longer be human, just as Jesus is no longer human. Therefore it will not be men judging angels, it will be members of a new creation - Jesus and his bride/body: 1 Corinthians 15:51-52 (WEB): (51) Behold, I tell you a mystery. We will...

They do have free will - how else could they have chosen to obey God or disobey God? We do not have any knowledge of what laws God gave to the angels, or what punishments were promised for disobedience to those laws. All we know is that there was a war/battle in heaven and the disobedient...

The Genesis account in which God said, "Let’s make man in our image, after our likeness" (Genesis 1:26), is a passage about God creating living beings on the earth. It has nothing to do with the creation of angels, so we cannot make any deductions about them from the Genesis account. Of all...

Peter doesn't go into detail of what Jesus preached, so we can only guess. The fact that Jesus preached to them could indicate that there is perhaps the possibliity that some of the fallen angels might repent of their disobedience, and refrain from any further disobedience. Having just...

They are the angels that Peter refers to in 2 Peter 2:4-5 (WEB): (4) For if God didn’t spare angels when they sinned, but cast them down to Tartarus, and committed them to pits of darkness to be reserved for judgment; (5) and didn’t spare the ancient world, but preserved Noah with seven...

That is not quoting Bible verses! You've still not quoted any Scripture that indicates that death is spiritual death rather than physical, or that spiritual death (or physical death) is "separation from God". Let me quote those verses for you - Galatians 6:7-8 (WEB): (7) Don’t be deceived...

I don't think so, although it can die - Matthew 10:28 (WEB): (28) Don’t be afraid of those who kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul {spirit}. Rather, fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in Gehenna. Yes - James 2:26 (WEB): (26) For as the body apart from the spirit...

Can you quote some Bible verses that support the idea of a spiritual death? I think you may be misunderstanding what Paul taught. Some more verses from Paul on the subject: Romans 8:5-7 (WEB): (5) For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those...

I am not familiar with it, but I would suggest reading should-christians-read-the-book-of-jubilee, which has the conclusion: The Book of Jubilees is an interesting read. It is interesting to see how a Jewish sect used, and even tailored the Old Testament story, to fit their own worldview. It...

You mean as in Luke 16:19-20 (WEB): (19) There was a certain rich man who was customarily clothed in purple and fine linen and making merry in luxury every day. (20) And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, who was laid at his gate, full of sores When you know the meaning of the name...

Not quite correct - the Darby translation uses the word soul: Genesis 1: (20) And God said, Let the waters swarm with swarms of living souls, and let fowl fly above the earth in the expanse of the heavens. (21) And God created the great sea monsters, and every living soul that moves with...

What? The passage does not even hint at that. The question that the Sadduces asked was "in the resurrection whose wife of them will she be?” The implication being that everyone will be resurrected around the same time at some time in the future. I was reading it in context. Where are you...

If we are absent from the human body that means we have died, and will be sleeping in death, i.e. we will have no conscious thoughts. Our very next thoughts will be after we are resurrected to life again, which will be moments before the rapture, when we will be caught up to be with Jesus. So...

The Bible only says that it is a resurrection from death. Jesus said, Luke 20:35 (WEB): (35) But those who are considered worthy to attain to that age and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage. As Jesus also taught, when we are dead (physcially) our spirits...

I can figure it out. In order to mate with women, and have offspring, the angels took on human form. As Jude says: Jude 1:6 (KJV): (6) And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of...

Just quoting different translations doesn't mean that you have understood what Jesus meant. Jesus is not talking literally, just as he wasn't when he said "Take, eat; this is my body" (Matthew 26:26). Albert Barnes' Notes for Matthew 26:29 says: When I drink it new with you - Not that he...

Right. So as I said, there is clear Biblical support for the rapture. It was you that brought up the subject and used the word rapture, so of course I would use the same word, a word which most Christians use and know what it means. It's much simpler to use the word rapture than say "the...

No. There is clear Scriptural support for the rapture. God will only give us what we ask for if we ask for things that are not contrary to His will - He will only grant us what He judges to be best for us. 1 John 5:14 (WEB): (14) This is the boldness which we have toward him, that, if we...

Don't worry, I wouldn't do that! I just wanted to prompt you to contribute to the discussion rather than just say "Yes there will". Posts of "Yes there will be" and "No there won't be" in a pantomine like fashion are not at all helpful or interesting, and we can't learn anything from that kind...

Well that's totally convinced me (not)! BTW, the forum rules state that "Christianity Board is a place for thoughtful discussion", and that we should not post spam, and it says, the following is an example of spam: meaningless short replies outside of the Games Forum. Examples would be posts...
