Repentance in transcript (angels)

<< < (2/4) > >>

Brett:
Thanks you for trying to explain as you can. I understand little bit both of you. But I am trying. :-\

Umm....so, from what I understand is 'angels' or 'messengers' always from heaven/God and never from earth like pastors, ministers, etc? Am I right?

Thanks for being patient with me ;).

Hi Brett,

Your original question is a great question.  Once I was called to jury duty and was sooo not wanting to get picked to judge anyone because of what Jesus says, that I literally prayed all day to God for them not to pick me as a juror.  Well, they didn't.  So, now, I wonder about this judging issue too.  Can you please direct me to where Ray talks about this - where you got the above quotes so I can read the rest of it.

Thanks, Lisa

Hi Lisa,

Hi Brett,

Here are a few verses I found concerning angels.

Heb 1:3  He is the reflection of God's glory and the exact likeness of his being, and he holds everything together by his powerful word. After he had provided a cleansing from sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Highest Majesty
Heb 1:4  and became as much superior to the angels as the name he has inherited is better than theirs.
Heb 1:5  For to which of the angels did God ever say, "You are my Son. Today I have become your Father"? Or again, "I will be his Father, and he will be my Son"?
Heb 1:6  And again, when he brings his firstborn into the world, he says, "Let all God's angels worship him."
Heb 1:7  Now about the angels he says, "He makes his angels winds, and his servants flames of fire."

Heb 1:13  But to which of the angels did he ever say, "Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet"?
Heb 1:14  All of them are spirits on a divine mission, sent to serve those who are about to inherit salvation, aren't they?

Heb 2:5  For he did not put the coming world we are talking about under the control of angels.
Heb 2:6  Instead, someone has declared somewhere, "What is man that you should remember him, or the son of man that you should care for him?
Heb 2:7  You made him a little lower than the angels, yet you crowned him with glory and honor
Heb 2:8  and put everything under his feet." Now when God put everything under him, he left nothing outside his control. However, at the present time we do not yet see everything put under him.
Heb 2:9  But we do see someone who was made a little lower than the angels. He is Jesus, who is crowned with glory and honor because he suffered death, so that by the grace of God he might experience death for everyone.
Heb 2:10  In bringing many children to glory, it was fitting that God, for whom and through whom everything exists, should make the pioneer of their salvation perfect through suffering.

So angels are spirits on a divine mission, but apparently they can sin, so they too will face judgment:

2Pe 2:4  For if God did not spare sinning angels, but thrust them down into Tartarus, and delivered them into chains of darkness, being reserved to judgment.

Hope this helps,
Carol
