Could the verse that talks about the wages of sin is death be referring to just people and not apply to angels?

But does not teaching it mean it won’t happen? It seems like satan would call an audible, do something different, and thus the Word would no longer be word. Unless, satan has no free will.

Are you rock solid on that? Because I have read other posts saying angels can’t sin b/c sin means death and Jesus said angels can’t die.

I find the story of Judas fascinating. He was chosen to be a disciple. I don’t think those were just handed out like a participation trophy. It is written that Jesus knows what’s in your heart. He knew Judas would betray him, so why make him a disciple? Why would you choose a traitor, a...

Saw a WaPo article today. There was this papyrus discovered a long time ago, only no one thought it important because the penmanship was poor, so it just sat in archives. Two guys decided to translate it and it turns out it was probably a copy of one the chapters of the book Thomas. They think...

A few questions on that timeline, and forgive me in advance as you didn’t actually write that timeline. Who anointed him prince of the earth? Who allowed him to go to earth freely to wreak havoc ? He was bound in heaven for a while, but his demons were still allowed on earth to do bad? And then...

The end of days. With the Antichrist, the mark of beast, the 7 seals. The army of flaming angels, the wrath of god, all culminating in satan being thrown into hell to suffer for all eternity. Now if you were satan, reading this in revelation, you would think ‘well I just don’t like that result...

Sorry, but not one of your finer responses. The people asked why are we being judged for actions that are not ours? Paul says don’t ask the creator why he created you that way. Couple things. A) why not? I intend to for the purpose of seeking wisdom. 2) if my thoughts are not my own, my...

I also have questions about free will. If god causes all our actions, then: why does he test people? He made the eqyptians enslave the Jews in order to free them and then reminded them that he is the one that freed them. Did He leave out the part he’s also the one who enslaved them? Why give us...

If the wages of sin is death, and satan is pure sin, how is satan not dead?

When i was a kid, my Bible had where Jesus spoke written in red. Because of that I always gave more weight to verses where it’s Jesus speaking. Is that wrong?

This is some thread. What started as ‘stay faithful, my friends’ morphed into who will attain eternal salvation. Probably not what the OP had in mind. And forgive me for continuing to stray from the path. Plenty people have offered their differing perspectives and have backed them up with...

When I wrote about doing god’s work I thought it went without saying I’ve accepted Jesus as my savior. Apologies for the confusion. I’ve read arguments several ways about what it takes to get into heaven, all backed up with plenty of verses. It’s quite confusing, but I figure if I do it all...

To the extent how it matters if eternal life loses value. You might lose few because of that, but it would still be the most valuable thing you could have. Therefore nearly all would still do good and seek glory, honor, and eternal life.

I am excited about the prospect of just watching the history of the universe. Watching Jesus’ actual sermons. The plight of Joseph and Mary. See what happened to all those planes in the Bermuda Triangle.

I get now what others have been writing about you dodging questions.

Sorry, I just realized these are off topic. You need not answer them.

God cares nothing about man made institutions. Democracy is 250 years old; Christianity is 2000.

Yes, thank you. I seek righteousness and help others because it’s what Jesus wants me to do. And that’s enough for me. I don’t do it for the promise of heaven. There’s also a little part of me that’s not quite afraid, just a little apprehensive. Heaven is all joy and love and gummy colas...

Is that why we follow Jesus? For the value of eternal life? The conundrum for me about sinning and dying and immortals is how is satan not dead?
