One more time, angelos is defined MESSENGER! "God did not spare the MESSENGERS who sinned", man, not spirit beings, neither angel or demon, but HUMAN MESSENGERS of God living in the days of Noah. And God did not spare the ancient world IT WAS NOT SPARED BECAUSE GOD BROUGHT THE FLOOD THAT...

I love and like replies by people in these forums who show they have come to understand spiritual things, through the Spirit of Christ in them regarding God and His spiritual Kingdom. It's not denying the existence of spirit beings in showing they exist in us. Even though that is how a number...

Honestly Paul, spiritualizing??? You know as well as I do the Bible is written using material, physical things that when we possess guidance through the Spirit of Christ in us, we might come to understand these things are used to point us to deeper spiritual truths regarding the Kingdom of God...

I don't consider you to be a stupid or foolish person, therefore I am left to conclude that your KNOW I have biblically given answers and supported them from the Word of God! Therefore, I'm left to believe you won't accept my answers because they don't fit your unbiblical beliefs regarding the...

That's a good question! What are evil spirits, what is the cause for their existence? I believe the darkness that God spoke His light into is a metaphor for spiritual death. Darkness symbolizing absence of light. God invaded the darkness when He spoke Light & Life into being. All that God...

God knows our weaknesses, our perils, the enemies we constantly face, the threats to our faith. Without His help we would fall into despair, and become overpowered by the spirit of this age. In His mercy, immeasurable goodness, and kindness He sustains us and has given us innumerable guardians...

Recovering Worship The first and most obvious task of angels is the worship and praise of God. They stand in the presence of God and worship Him. Jesus said that the "angels in heaven always see the face of my Father in heaven" (Matt 18:10). They have a specific task in heaven's liturgy. "Let...

https://reformedreflections.org/series/angels5.pdf Angels in Reformed Spirituality by Johan D. Tangelder Since the Reformation, Protestant theology has shown a reluctance to discuss angels, contrasting sharply with the wealth of medieval speculation. The Reformers accepted the existence of...

So there you have it. My case against Satan being a fallen angel. I could say much more, but I’ll leave it there. Perhaps the real question is why people hold onto this false doctrine. Partly because we were taught it and we didn’t do our own research. And because we need some mechanism to...

The final proof that this does not refer to Satan or a fallen angel but a man is when God says to him, “you have come to a dreadful end and shall be no more forever.” (v. 19 ESV) It doesn’t say, “You will come to a dreadful end, sometime in the future,” but “You have [already] come to an end...

https://thebiblespeakstoyou.com/satan-is-not-a-fallen-angel/ Who am I to disagree with Billy Graham? Not to mention so many Christians, who believe that Satan was once an angel. Oh well, here goes. While I deeply appreciate and revere Reverend Graham’s or anyone’s, commitment to Christ and...

I'm glad to see we are like minded as far as man's inability to come to God of his own free will after the fall. However, you haven't proven that angels of God are autonomous spirits. How can they be? God tells us His angels are "ALL ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who...

I don't know, and I don't care, because that's not the topic. That's you attempting to deflect because you appear reluctant to answer why your doctrine built on mythology and tradition passed down from men of old throughout the ages must force the unbiblical doctrine of freewill on both man and...

What Calvinist since the Reformation promotes the doctrine of free will? You apparently do! I notice you haven't given any rebuttal for my lengthy reply.

Are you saying that you don't believe in the doctrine of free will of man and angels since the fall? Am I wrong about that particular doctrine of grace clouding your understanding of the spirit realm?

Paul, I'm very encouraged that I struck a raw nerve with you. I only pray the results will be much good fruit. Sincerely, rwb

The stars are not symbols for angels of God, they symbolically represent the sons of God, Israel of Old as She was created to be the nation/people chosen to display the Light of God unto all the earth. The stars do not symbolize angels cast down out of heaven with the so-called fallen angel...

I am no one's clone! I have been studying the Bible for myself for many years, and though I do appreciate learning from many who are far wised than myself, I have the final word of what I believe is truth from the Word of God. It seems especially when it comes to understanding the spiritual...

The desire of the OP was to keep the thread positive; I will try to show why I believe the doctrines of Sovereign Grace perfectly align with what the Bible tells us. Unfortunately, I only have a short amount of time this morning and will not be able to be on the boards for the next few days...

This is the only part of the discussion I choose to reply to, because it sheds much light on why you continue to cling to the myth that Satan was created an angel of God and became Satan when he disobeyed God. I suspected this is why you and probably WPM also cannot be honest when discussing...
