Gene,

People are interested in what you say and how you defend those words or change them with the evidence presented.

Gene,

People get the wrong idea from scripture that says, “God creates or makes his angels spirits, which simly means God makes their spirits they have in them, just as he makes our spirits we have in us,

I actually believe that is a mistranslation of that passage as it is not consistent with the second part if the verse which is also s…[Read more]

T,

you can see how you are thinking ;you are thinking starting from your point of view ,men’s view;

You are just saying that as an accusation. It adds nothing to the conversation except to say that you not believe what I am saying.

I do not see it that way ;see nothing says that it is not Moses that as written those books (scrolls) for t…

T,

see what you do ;but you do not say what you believe right ?yes

see i say and believe it is # 1 the “US”

so what are you saying kerwin ?

I prefer the interpretation that God is speaking to his angels using the collective form of we though 2-4 all pass the truth test but I find them weaker arguments than 1. 5 even if you interpret it to be…[Read more]

Six Options

Presently, commentators itemize six explanations for what I call “the Genesis Plurals.” They include:

1) God is speaking to members of his heavenly council.

2) God is speaking to himself, in self-deliberation (“Let us do this” =…

Genesis 34:9New English Translation (NET Bible)

9 Intermarry with us. Let us marry your daughters, and take our daughters as wives for yourselves.

Is this individual saying each and every one of the sons of Israel plan to marry Canaanite women and have their daughters marry those men they spoke to in attempt to…[Read more]

T,

It is clear to see that you do not test your own teachings because you are not ready to answer a point. You seek instead to divert the conversation.

I pointed out that Scripture does not say that Moses wrote the book of Genesis and you have not presented Scripture says he did. Instead you chose to do other things including accusing me.…[Read more]

Journey,

Then why don’t you do as he says.

LU,

@kerwin
So is that a no…this verse, as translated is not your confession?

The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven.

Are you asking me if I believe the manuscripts these words are translated from are more accurate to the original words than those that instead say “The first man is from the earth, m…[Read more]

LU,

Is it reasonable to assume that their bodies are significantly different than humans although similar in some ways?

They are not human kind so their bodies are not human bodies.

LU,

1 Tim 3:16
And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.

This is another controversial passage that varies between manuscripts.

Carmel,

Jon is written and prose and the word choice and sentence structure is organized for that purpose. It makes is some harder to understand. The bottom line is angels celebrated though some may have celebrated in one way and other in another.

We are to worship God in Spirit in truth which is more than just adoring him. It is seeking to…[Read more]

LU,

Of all those that have possibly been called God/god in scripture, how many of them have dominion over all creation for ever and ever? Can you identify them?

You question is based on an erroneous assumption. A human being that was made king of all things in heaven and on earth is still not the one true God. He would be called a god…[Read more]

LU,

1 Corinthians 15:47

The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven.

Manuscripts disagree on the words of that verse.

1 Corinthians 15:47New English Translation (NET Bible)

47 The first man is from the earth, made of dust; the second man is from heaven.

I know what Paul is speaking of as the physical…[Read more]

LU,

Scripture shows us that angels both eat and can be touched so they have a physical body. They appear like human beings so it appears indistinguishable from the human body. It also seems to show us physically their body feels no different from a human beings. We are not told what there body is composed of so all we can do is speculate.

Gene,

It is God who chooses to call others gods and if he meant fake gods then he would either say it or imply it. I am not one to dispute with him. There is one God that is worthy of worship. He is the only one of his kind even though others may be called God they not of his kind though they may pretend to be.

All I know is that God uses the…[Read more]

LU,

I anticipate that human bodies will be freed from corruption and still house the human soul and spirit that were housed in them before they changed.

After all, Scripture testifies that the creature will be freed from corruption.
