    Why humans can be redeemed, but not fallen angels?

    There is no redemption for fallen angels because their rebellion was made with full knowledge and is irrevocable, unlike human sin which often arises from ignorance or weakness. Christ’s sacrifice was for humanity, not angels, meaning no atonement was provided for them. Key Reasons for No...

    God's Wisdom versus Earthly, Sensual, and Demonic Wisdom about Instrumental Music

    I came across an historical detail that in olden days when churches could not afford to buy a piano or organ, they tried to save face by preaching against musical instruments, and mandating a cappella singing. Instruments tend to make singing easier. It seems ridiculous to claim that if...

    Why humans can be redeemed, but not fallen angels?

    I once asked my wife why humans get the opportunity to be redeemed, saved from eternal hell, through the blood of Christ, but the devil and his demons do not. My wife said, “Because the devil and his demons knew God face to face. His will and character were totally transparent to them, so they...

    Mark of the beast

    All people who refuse to worship the Beast are killed. Those who worshiped the Beast are forced to be stamped with its mark. Revelation 13 14 Because of the signs it was given power to perform on behalf of the first beast, it deceived the inhabitants of the earth. It ordered them to set up...

    Real Angels

    If believers can use and command angels, you’d think in the book of Acts, the apostles and laity would be doing that a lot. While there is a rescue of Peter from jail by an angel, there is no mention of using and commanding angels. Apostle Paul does not mention it either. Colossians 2:18 Do...

    Christian Nationalism

    Islamic states use Islamic law to define every area of government, including the Constitution. The major Islamic states are Iran, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, Mauritania, and Yemen. In addition, there are 57 member states in the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), often referred...

    Christian Nationalism

    But Muslims are imposing Islam upon secular nations and having great success. So religious values can become a major part of a nation, even when many of the people have been led down an irreligious path of hedonism, materialism, and atheism. If Muslims are able to convert a secular society to...

    The "D" Chart

    Not sure where you get these numerological ideas. You may be reading too much tradition of men into the scriptures. Chapter divisions were uninspired additions of men. So with Acts chapter 10, the 10 has no numerological significance.

    The "D" Chart

    None of these verses with “two days” in them, nor their appearance five times in the NT, give any indication that “two days” is a metaphor for “this age of grace.”

    Real Angels

    Who commands the angels? God, not us. I will go directly to God. That is as supernatural as you can possibly get. Psalm 91:11,12,15 For He will command His angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways. They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

    "Thirty-day Baptists"

    You may wish to dominate about what “it is finished” means, but I will not engage in such a discussion any longer. We are to edify and comfort each other, not argue over such details. 2 Timothy 2:24 And a servant of the Lord must not quarrel, but be gentle to all, able to teach, patient…

    Real Angels

    Once again, no scripture saying we can use and command angels to do our bidding. Why is it not sufficient to go directly to God the Father and let Him decide how to bless us? The magnitude of our inheritance in Christ is Christ in you, the hope of glory.

    Mark of the beast

    Some people think when the anti-Christ appears to the world, it will be obvious, especially when he starts demanding worship. I doubt it. I think he will be more subtle in his initial rise to power. He likely will not draw too much attention to himself until the time is ripe. In the beginning...

    Real Angels

    Since that verse contradicts what you claim, let me quote it to you now. Notice who is commanding the angels. Not us, but God. We call upon God, we do not boss the angels around. Psalm 91:11,12,15 For He will command His angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways. They shall bear...

    Real Angels

    To love, praise, and obey God in the midst of severe trials and troubles is advanced spirituality that few probably achieve. When horrible cataclysmic tragedies occur to us, we are tempted to abandon our faith, turn sour and gloomy, and get angry at God. Job 13:15 rings clear and loud in my...

    Real Angels

    As usual brother, you reply with personal opinions, not scripture verses. Usurping the role of God by telling angels what to do is not a biblical practice. You have not shown us where commanding angels was done in Acts. None of the gospels or church epistles say anything about us commanding...

    Real Angels

    The psalmist tells angels, sun, moon, stars, sea creatures, lightning, hail, snow, clouds, winds, mountains, hills, trees, birds to praise the Lord. But that does not mean we can command all of them to meet our needs or to obey us. It means we love God so much, we want all creation to honor and...

    Real Angels

    Can you give us scripture to support your claim that we should use angels and command them? Any examples of this being done in Acts?

    "Thirty-day Baptists"

    The “all things / everything” in John 28 refers to the things were prophesied in scripture concerning the mission of Jesus. The final event was to die. It was His death that paid for the sins of the world. 28 Later, knowing that everything had now been finished, and so that Scripture would be...
