Quote (Nick Hassan @ April 21 2012,14:43)Hi KW, The angels of God need a way to God?Nick,Though they are sons they also submitted themselves to Jesus.  God and Jesus are in them and they are in God and Jesus just as is true with believers.  They had no need to repent but were told to submit themselves to him when he came into the world.

Mike,Scripture makes the case that both Jesus and John the Baptist were conceived.   According to you, that means that the wombs of their respective mothers seized the seed that was them.  It is true that both Jesus and John came to be human when they became fertile human seed even though each became fertile seed in different ways.  As it is tr…[Read more]

Mike,I cannot say for sure how each angel came to be as I have not looked into the matter.  Like any living creature, they can be said to have been conceived, but maybe not sullambanó which deals with certain types of the works of God.Scripture does use allegory but the account of Jesus’ conception is not allegoric.  James uses sullambanó in such…[Read more]

Quote (mikeboll64 @ April 21 2012,09:34)The words “who is in heaven” is most likely a marginal note that was inadvertently added into the words of Jesus.  Jesus was not “in heaven” when he was speaking to Nicodemus.In Col 3, Paul is using zealous language.  He does that often, like when he says “we have died to sin”.  Nobody he said that to was li…[Read more]
