You said you judge angels.

The scripture I posted says that we, Christians, will judge Angels. I believe it means what it says. I do not claim to be judging angels at this present moment in time; you, on the other hand, have claimed that you are doing so when I asked you earlier if you were presently in the business of judging Angel's. Please refer to your post #222

This is going nowhere. Sorry to hijack thread
Hey, You didn't hijack the thread you helped to shed some biblical light and expose the false beliefs of the amillennialism that can't give a straight answer when faced with scriptures that contradict the spiritualizing of scriptures . Where's the evidence we are ruling nations? and judging angels ?? ummm.......it means "pastors"??? since when does "angels" mean "pastors"?? And the denial that the Lord Jesus will return physically, etc, etc.

2 Timothy 3:16 KJV
[16] All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

The unregenerate heart wants to read scripture, and say in their heart... wow I’m gonna be exalted above the angles of god.
Scripture is for reproof and correction.
Jesus himself manifests many times in scripture as the the angel of the Lord.

No where does angel mean a pastor.
angel means angel. Angels were used by God as messengers . Angels are sent to give mankind messages. Pastors give messages to their congregation, but that does not mean the word angel is interchangeable with the word Pastor.

That's twice you've posted this definition, so I will ask you again

Are all Angels (in scripture) merely human pastors?

Was the angel sent to guard the entrance to Eden a human pastor?

Why can't you answer a straight question? but you like to judge other people and toss out scripture out of context I might add , and btw, apparently you don't think the scripture is for reproof for your misconceptions & misrepresentations of Bible prophecy ?

You are confused, dear man. In 1 Cor Paul says the saints will be judging angels. We are not exalting ourselves. Do you not know this scripture?
1 Cor 6: ""2 Do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if you are to judge the world, are you not competent to judge trivial cases? 3Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more the things of this life!"

Before you start asking more questions I think you should really answer some of ours.

Are you speaking to Apostle Paul? saying he is not fit to judge anything?
2 Corinthians 12:11 KJV
[11] I am become a fool in glorying; ye have compelled me: for I ought to have been commended of you: for in nothing am I behind the very chiefest apostles, though I be nothing.
