Read the context! It's speaking of the "choice messengers" who are elders in the church, and therefore receive double honor, counted worthy, especially those laboring in word and teaching. It is before God, the Lord Jesus Christ and the elect/choice human messengers that these words are spoken...

The literal translation is "messengers", choice humans, who would be called apostles, prophets, evangelists, and some pastors and teachers. 1 Timothy 5:21 (YLT) I testify fully, before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the choice messengers, that these things thou mayest keep, without...

The sons of God are those who are written in the Lambs book of life from the foundation of the world. The morning stars the first stars of the morning and represent the crown of twelve stars (church of Old) adorning the woman (Israel of Old) who gave birth to the man child (Christ). Israel of...

God did not spare the human messengers that sinned, nor did He spare the old world (kosmos; orderly arrangement). Neither the people of old who sinned were spared, nor was the world of old. It's not three different examples of groups. All the ungodly of old were destroyed and the world then...

Don't you know that a metaphor is used in relation to literal things? I hadn't realized you needed to have this explained to you. For example, one of the most famous metaphors in literature is featured in this line from William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet: What light through yonder window...

God does not say let me create light! He says let there be light that already existed. He is the Light that gives light to the whole world, and at the moment He spoke the world in utter darkness became lighted by His glory. He spoke these words before He created the sun, moon and stars. What...

And I'm telling you 2 Pe 2:4 does not depict fallen angels of God as the ungodly in the days of Noah. The literal translation if angelos had been correctly translated, we see it is speaking about human messengers and not fallen angels of God. In the days of Seth these human messengers (sons of...

At least you admit it is your opinion! Just saying after the creation of man, Satan turned evil does not prove he was created an angel of God and became Satan through freely choosing to disobey God!

Through hearing the gospel preached! We must first hear the message about Christ, to trust in Christ, afterward we believe being sealed with the Holy Spirit. Ephesians 1:12-14 (KJV) That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ. In whom ye also trusted, after that...

Where can we find this spirit called Satan before being cast out, was created an angel of God and then became Satan? These verses show us the serpent, being Satan was evil from creation. So evil in fact that he was able to corrupt the mind of Eve and through that deception brought sin and...

However, the baptism that now saves us is not of water which cleans only the flesh, but the baptism with the Holy Spirit, and fire that makes even the conscience clean. 1 Peter 3:21 (KJV) The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the...

Yes, that's the common mythological legend passed down by men of Old from generation to generation the on-going argument ensues. The name Lucifer is mentioned only one time in the Bible. The name means brightness and morning star. The name is used in reference to the king of Babylon, a...

If you've been following this discussion, you'll find that some here believe that Satan was created an angel of God, before of his own free will he chose to disobey God and became the unclean spirit, Satan.

Yes, and unclean spirits have never been ministering spirits sent to minister to the heirs of salvation. That's how we know that Satan was not created an angel of God who chose to disobey God and become the unclean spirit, Satan. Hebrews 1:7 (KJV) And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his...

The Bible tells us that Christ ushered in the New Covenant through His blood when He came to earth a man. If you're still waiting for the New Covenant through the blood of Christ to come when Christ comes again, I really don't know how I can help you! If the New Covenant through the blood of...

Rather than replacement theology, I believe the Bible teaches Inclusive Theology where there is neither Jew nor Gentile because the two have become ONE people in Christ. No longer known according to race, but according to having a new heart and new spirit through the Spirit of Christ in us.

All Christians are looking for the earthly Kingdom of God to come! However, the Kingdom of God we look for shall not come to this earth that is destined to destruction, rather we look for the Kingdom of God that shall be after this first heaven and earth have passed away, then the Kingdom of...

The Bible disagrees with this Doug!

Good to hear from you again TS! Yes, the light and darkness are literal. Both symbolizing the True Light that brings life to the world, and also the darkness symbolizing death the seeks to overcome the True Light. The spiritual battle between the forces of Light and the forces of Darkness...

Regarding this passage from Hebrews, I posted: Exodus 20:11 (KJV) For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day and hallowed it. To which you replied: "Of course. I didn't say...
