    Were angels created in the image of God?

    No one, including myself, is saying that Satan and the 1/3 of the angels who rebelled against God will ever be saved. What I have proven to you, by Scripture, is that Angels are also sons of God, and they are fellow laborers with us for Christ Jesus, and that they also have free will, with the...

    Were angels created in the image of God?

    Revelation 12:3-4 (WEB) 3 Then another sign appeared in heaven: an enormous red dragon with seven heads and ten horns and seven crowns on its heads. 4 Its tail swept a third of the stars out of the sky and flung them to the earth. The dragon stood in front of the woman who was about to give...

    Were angels created in the image of God?

    Lord Jesus remains in very nature "God" while also eternally being the Son of David by whom all things are created, sustained, and saved. This is the One appointed by the Father to inherit all things from the Father. Hebrews 1:2-3 (WEB) 2 [God the Father] has at the end of these days spoken...

    Were angels created in the image of God?

    While the Scriptures do not explain much about the invisible realm in the heavens, the Scriptures do teach us that angels also have free choice to either reject God or to live for Him; and that is why God's top angel Lucifer, and 1/3 of all the other angels fell. I think it's very possible that...

    Were angels created in the image of God?

    Scripture doesn't actually state that angels are made in God's Image, but they are called "sons of God." Only saved humans and angels are called "sons of God," and the angels are called "morning stars;" Lord Jesus is also called "morning star." Job 38:4-7 (WEB) 4 “Where were you when I laid the...

    Where did Jesus go when he died?

    I agree with all you wrote, but how does what you wrote mean that I was jumping to conclusions in the following: setst777 said: Yes, Lord Jesus commended his spirit to God, but we cannot assume that God could not or would not give the spirit of Lord Jesus the authority to preach to the spirits...

    Where did Jesus go when he died?

    When Lord Jesus spirit was united with his body, he was a "living soul." (Genesis 2:7). Genesis 2:7 (WEB) Yahweh God formed man from the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. When Lord Jesus died on the cross, his body was dead, but...

    Where did Jesus go when he died?

    Yes, after Lord Jesus was crucified and died, his spirit separated from his body and ascended. At his resurrection from death... Lord Jesus was resurrected in his same physical body he had while in the tomb, just as Lazarus was resurrected from his tomb. At that point, Lord Jesus had not yet...

    Where did Jesus go when he died?

    Luke 23:46 (Young's Literal Translation) 46 and having cried with a loud voice, Jesus said, `Father, to Thy hands I commit my spirit;' and these things having said, he breathed forth the spirit. Lord Jesus was resurrected, but before He resurrected, he commended his spirit to God.

    Where did Jesus go when he died?

    Yes, Lord Jesus commended his spirit to God, but we cannot assume that God could not or would not give the spirit of Lord Jesus the authority to preach to the spirits in hades before his resurrection, and glorification at the right hand of God.

    Where did Jesus go when he died?

    My understanding is that the JW teach, ever since Charles Taze Russell, the founder, is that, everyone judged unworthy of Eternal Life will be annihilated, along with the Devil and his angels in the Lake of Fire - put completely out of existence. I quote as follows: "... Thus, those not found...

    Where did Jesus go when he died?

    Paul could not have made it any more plain to understand. 1 Corinthians 15:42-46 (WEB) 42 So also is the {{{{{Resurrection of the Dead}}}}}. The body is sown perishable; it is raised imperishable. 43 It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness; it is raised in power...

    Where did Jesus go when he died?

    That is correct, according to the Scriptures: 1 John 3:2 (WEB) 2 Beloved, now we are children of God. It is not yet revealed what we will be; but we know that when he is revealed, we will be like him; for we will see him just as he is. Philippians 3:20-21 (WEB) 20 For our citizenship is in...

    Where did Jesus go when he died?

    A spirit body is the resurrected body fit for the heavenly kingdom of God that Christians receive at the last trump in the First Resurrection. A dead human's spirit is entrusted to God after his death, but he does not rise from the dead with a spirit body until the resurrection at the last...

    Where did Jesus go when he died?

    You must be a Jehovah's Witness. I have not heard that argument from anyone other than a Jehovah's Witness. The natural reading of the text is that Lord Jesus was already talking to the thief on the cross in the day he was talking to the thief. Lord Jesus prefaced his reply to the thief by, in...

    Where did Jesus go when he died?

    In "1 Corinthians 15:12-52" Paul only discusses one raising of the dead, which is when we receive our spirit bodies just like Christ Jesus did when he rose from the dead. There is no teaching in "1 Corinthians 15:12-52" about two different raisings from the dead - one with a spirit body and one...

    Where did Jesus go when he died?

    Your description is Biblically founded, but I am a little fuzzy on your definition of the spirit of man when he dies. I agree that angels, including sinful angels are spirits, but at death the spirit of man also lives on, which is also called the soul of that person who died. The spirit that...

    Where did Jesus go when he died?

    The Scriptures were given, and you rejected them. There is nothing more to say to you since you completely ignored the Scriptures and remain resolute in your own opinions. I am not here to discuss someone's opinions.

    Where did Jesus go when he died?

    To say that "1 Corinthians 15:35-44" to talking about the Church, is not in the context. Paul is literally talking about how believers well be raised from the dead. Mark 12:23-25 (WEB) 23 In the resurrection, when they rise, whose wife will she be of them? For the seven had her as a wife.” 24...

    Where did Jesus go when he died?

    When a person physically dies, he no longer is part of the affairs on earth, his plans perish with his physical death. After a man dies, his spirit returns to God. Lord Jesus, as a man, died after being crucified. His body separated from his spirit. Although Lord Jesus entrusted his spirit...
