Hello Sandy,

Here is a link to a categorized list of Ray's email replies: http://forums.bible-truths.com/index.php/topic,3108.0.html

        Hi Sandy,
           Marques has helped already, but here is what the words suggest in Strongs Concordance and also from Gill's commentary.
             Php 4:21  SaluteG782 everyG3956 saintG40 inG1722 ChristG5547 Jesus.G2424 TheG3588 brethrenG80 which are withG4862 meG1698 greetG782 you.G5209

G40
ἅγιος
hagios
hag'-ee-os

angelG32
ἄγγελος
aggelos
ang'-el-os
From ἀγγέλλω aggellō (probably derived from G71; compare G34; to bring tidings); a messenger; especially an “angel”; by implication a pastor: - angel, messenger.

Gill commentary:
Act 5:19  But the angel of the Lord,.... Or "of God", as the Arabic and Ethiopic versions read, whether Michael, as some have thought, or Gabriel, or what particular angel, is not material to know. However, it was a good angel, an elect angel, one of those ministering spirits sent by God to minister to the heirs of promise; one of those angels that excel in strength, as appears by what he did: for he

Hey everybody,

I'm going back and forth on what this means.   ???

I Corinthians 13;1

Though I speak with the
tongues of men and of
angels, and have not charity, I

or a tinkling cymbal.
