    Rapture ... soon?

    The angel spirits sent to minister to the heirs of salvation were not IN them, but WITH them until they received the Spirit from on high sent from Christ. John 14:16-18 (KJV) And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; Even the...

    WAS JESUS WRONG?

    Pup will have to answer for himself, but if I am rightly understanding he is saying the kingdom of God came with power when Christ resurrected from the grave. Certainly, the majority of those standing there would not have physically died before coming to see and understand this and to know it...

    Rapture ... soon?

    Your question is illogical to me, because I have never argued that angels of God were humans. That does take away from the fact that the Greek word angelos is translated 'angel' 'pastor' 'messenger' one who brings tidings.

    Rapture ... soon?

    Paul, I NEVER said angels are humans! I said spirit beings work within the hearts and minds of humans. For those in unbelief the spirit of Satan works within them to bring about destruction. As we find in the creation account. For those who shall be saved spirit angels of God keep us until...

    Rapture ... soon?

    That's why our battle is not against flesh & blood, our battle is spiritual, where good shall always battle against evil.

    Rapture ... soon?

    I agree! Babies too are under the curse of death. We aren't called sinners when we commit sin, we sin because we are born to sin.

    Rapture ... soon?

    I'm defensive (1) because some of the hostility is toward myself also (2) it troubles me when Christians attack one another. I also don't like it because I too have a tendency to return evil with evil, and I really don't want to do that. I've tried to answer your questions. Rather than asking...

    Rapture ... soon?

    I think we get a clearer picture of angels when we think of them as "messengers" of God that can be spirit or human. The context helps us to determine which. John the Baptist for instance was a messenger of God. The messenger of Satan was sent to fight against Paul. Both instances the word...

    Rapture ... soon?

    What I've sensed in this thread are some, who are provoking and slandering not only what TS is saying, but also making charges against his character. This goes too far! Early on the thought was revealed that he has learned from Tony Warren, and one even went so far (if memory serves me) as to...

    Rapture ... soon?

    How do you define elect angels? Are you speaking of celestial spirit beings in heaven observing things of the earth? Do they belong to the ministering spirits from the letter to the Hebrews speaking of the angels of God saying "And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his...

    Rapture ... soon?

    That's the traditional understanding, handed down through the ages with no biblical proof that Satan was a good angel before becoming evil.

    Rapture ... soon?

    I stated this in a way that even a small child could understand. Isn't the truth that because you are convinced that Satan was created an angel of God and became this evil Satan the reason you refuse to receive what I have plainly stated?

    Rapture ... soon?

    I was with you until you say "satan is a fallen angel/spirit. No I do NOT deny Satan is spirit, not a spirit, but spirit. The only personhood that Satan can and does achieve is when he takes up residence within the hearts and minds of humans.

    Rapture ... soon?

    That was not my intention, which is why I said "IMO".

    Rapture ... soon?

    I agree that spirits work through the hearts and minds of mankind. It's hard for some of you to really hear what he is saying because your minds IMO appears to be closed!

    Rapture ... soon?

    I will allow him to answer for himself. He will be far better able to define his beliefs than I would be. The problem is that you as well as others here already have your minds made up, and you seem reluctant to receive how the things, works and ways of evil spirits vs. angels are to be...

    Rapture ... soon?

    You need to read more carefully! I have NEVER said spirits do not exist! You have the right to disagree with what I have said, but you don't have the right to say I've said something I have not!

    LEFT BEHIND ... what to do?

    It sounds more like doctrine derived from the Left Behind series of FICTIONAL books as well as fictional works like The Late Great Planet Earth. Perhaps these are the sources that AI used?

    Rapture ... soon?

    The beginning of creation is when sin and death through sin came to earth. Since the evil spirit called the serpent is the cause for A&E being deceived, he was a liar, which is why he is called the father of lies. The same evil spirit called the serpent brought death to God's creation, that...
