It’s probably just as well.

I did didn’t I. I’m glad we cleared this up. You’ve been watching too much Matlock recently, haven’t you.

The waiter’s analogy was not perfectly analogous, we all know angels aren’t waiters. I use waiter example rhetorically and you know this.

They serve us, and all that implies, even though they may not use the exact term “ may I take your orders “, they take our orders.

Which is analogous of my example of the waiters. His reply was general not specific. “Serving does not imply taking orders from the one served” I never said that angels will address this way. I think you guys are taking legalism to new heights, and it’s not in good faith.

Anthony was saying they only serve God not us. But scripture says “ sent forth to serve those who will inherit eternal life “ I’ll stick with the scripture, it’s a clear cut case that lines up with my experience and understanding.

Neither can I. But that’s irrelevant, the word “Trinity” can’t be found in scripture but we have scriptural reasons enough to believe it. You are arguing from absence, which is no argument at all. We have the scripture which states clearly that they are “ sent forth to serve those who will...

Funny man. Much of scripture has metaphors and mystical language. Much of what happens in the spiritual is by impression. The attempts to explain the spiritual leads to “mystical language”. Metaphors are used to translate the sublime spiritual things into temporal terms that people can relate...

Yes it does. “ May I take or orders “ is the first thing they say. Your legalistic quibblage is a fascinating study in the denial of reality, and the lengths a desperate man will take. I bet you could gnaw your leg off to get out of a trap. Be a good fellow and just cheerfully admit defeat, no...

I am simply trying to win understanding for you, I have no ego to injure here. I did cite scripture directly and at pains explained it so that even a child could understand. Thus it only appears like condescension. But you have brought me to this. It’s better to lose the argument but win...

We all serve anyway. Most of street ministry is bringing Jesus to others, getting rid of self by prayer and fasting. Asking Jesus to live and reign in us, to walk in our walking and do in our doing, to do as He wants through us. We are the donkey carrying Jesus to others, and Jesus does the...

Two things can be true at the same time. By obeying us they are obeying God. “ sent forth to serve those who will inherit eternal life “ I used the example of the waiter, sent forth to serve the customers. Is the waiter under the direction of the customer or the owner, the answer is both...

So it’s all foolishness to you.

This is where it is better to talk to atheists, you prove my point, the supernatural is just on the page for you and 2000 years ago. Whilst the mass carnage takes place out there, many “believers” are comfortably insulated and not engaged. Its all just a nice intellectual exercise. A...

What’s “normative “? I have been reluctant to share most of my spiritual experiences here, simply because of reactions and mockery like yours. The most skeptical and unbelieving of the gifts and spiritual realities have not been atheists in my experience but Protestants. It’s been a shocking...

Scripture tells us that God gave tacit authorisation for us to use the angels as our servants. Since you insist on being a legalist. He sent them “to serve those who will inherit eternal life “. Ok, so you don’t believe in supernatural spiritual guidance. Now I fully understand where you are...

In prayer we were told to go out in street ministry, me and Nell, to help, to bring mercy. We had no resources, we were totally reliant on heavenly help, we only went where we were guided. Miracles happened and angels helped us and protected us, we were not there for ourselves but for mercy. You...

What I notice is your flurry of verbiage and narratives with bold claims and no sources. If the Bible is self authenticating, why is there no inspired author in an inspired book listing what books belong in the Bible ? Didn’t want to hang around to face that question.

How do you know the Bible is inspired? Self authentication would be an inspired author listing which books belong in the Bible. Do you see any such inspired book listing which books belong in the Bible? The Bible isn’t self authenticating, it’s Catholic Tradition. Too scared to face the...
