Your fake Scriptural reference is bogus.

The owner’s manual for my car is not canonical, but I find it very helpful!

How silly! Life is more than a boring mere one-note symphony.

I love that inspiring perspective!! God has a plan for all of us!!

Esau's descendants were never blessed. Esau and his descendants were cursed before Esau even exited the womb. As it is written, “Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.” [Romans 9:13] Esau's progeny? Western Saudi Arabia, Mecca, Medina, the seat of the Great Harlot, the seat of Satan! Their end, is...

Jay, you are right on the mark. "Is not this written in the Book of Jasher?"--Joshua, 10-13. "Behold it is written in the Book of Jasher."--II Samuel, 1-18 The Book of Jasher, helps to complete the blank areas left by Genesis. Genesis covers the first 2500 years of world history in a mere 12...

Taken, this is a most difficult and intimidating passage for me. I wonder if I am up for the job. As one who is such an undeserving benefactor of God's grace, I can't imagine being capable condemning anyone!! And if I a mere lowlife mortal sinner feels that way, I wonder how the God of Grace is...

A great summary of Angels.

Okay, I understand your theological approach to Scripture, declaring that the very first book of the Bible is merely an insignificant pile of BS. I have no doubt that you view much of the remainder of the Bible as a similar pile of BS. For me, Job is one of the most informative and inspiring...

Devin, although I have already posted a family encounter with an angel who saved her life, but I have another. When my granddaughter was about 12 years of age, she spent a week at sort of a fringe group holy roller summer camp. During her stay, she was baptized. For our family, public baptism...

I sometimes read from someone who has lost a loved one, saying Heaven now has a new angel. What a demotion! Angels are a servant class of beings whose purpose is to take care of God's children.

Devin, I understand why an angel interfered with Balaam's plan. He was up to no good, but Jacob/Israel is a different story. I don't even know why Jacob was fighting with the angel. Because he could?? Jacob was an unusually conniving and cunning person, determined to receive the very best life...

True, but physical health is only one consideration. The environment into which they might be born has to be a consideration. “Children are a gift from God. And as with any gift, it doesn’t come with a contract attached! What we do with that gift has been left totally up to us. Sometimes that...

Indeed, Gabriel seems to be the announcer angel.

With 78 year old teeth, a somewhat gentler approach seems to be the intelligent choice. :-)

I am sure that the angel could have won if that was God's plan. As for eating sinew, I don't recall that ever being on my grocery list <giggle>

But Jacob prevailed, and became the father of many nations!

Genesis 32:22-31 New International Version (NIV) Jacob Wrestles With God 22 That night Jacob got up and took his two wives, his two female servants and his eleven sons and crossed the ford of the Jabbok. 23 After he had sent them across the stream, he sent over all his possessions. 24 So Jacob...

Joseph77, nothing you post is from Scripture, and I wonder why your angel of darkness has driven you to disrupt this thread with so much totally irrelevant garbage. It must be a very important and significant subject that your dark angel, with whom you seem to be most familiar, is working...

Jacob/Israel is an interesting character in this drama. Instead of yielding to an angel, he chose to fight with him. It is amazing how Jacob, who seized his heritage as the father of Israel through manipulation, also, fought with an angel. From the Jewish perspective, Maimonides believed the...
