Do we believe in active angels these days?

I would like to discuss with you, but as I have been twice lately reprimanded for not complying with the purpose of the particular forum I had answered, I recommend you find a different forum in which to ask your question. The "junk drawer" is specifically not about theological issues. I suggest perhaps, General Theology.

I talked to them as a baby so yes.

 

[ilovejcsog]

Go ahead and talk about it here, someone else already has. The last time I put a topic under the wrong place and then opened it up in a new place no one would go to the new but posted all under the original. So if they want it new they can change it

You're not a baby now so maybe they aren't anymore?.

Heb 13:2 Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it. (This would still apply today)

 

[Resha Caner]

Yes, but why do you ask?

 

[ilovejcsog]

I wondered how others feel about it and then Richard reminded me of the passage above, thank you Richard.

Only the pure heated can see God, This also accounts to all spirits.

But I can not tell you yes or no because I have not seen or spoken to them sense.

I am not very heated today, its cold and I am definitely not pure. In this day and age I don't
t think there is anyone that is pure.
YOU'RE FUNNY!

I meant pure hearted lol, misprint.

Yes, baby's are pure, and I know many pure hearted people, we might not be, but they are.

Scripture says otherwise.
Job1v6Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them. 7And the LORD said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.

Looks like Satan could see God.

Yes, he is not a human and also lived with God at the time, also he was in heaven at the time.

"Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God" (Matthew 5:8).

It does not say you can not see God unless you are 100 percent pure, it says if you are pure of heart you will see God.

And you twisted my own words for no reason.

This is what you said.-
"Only the pure hearted can see God,"
Did you see that word "only" in there, I twisted nothing.

Its a phrase not a contained thought.

The word only meant unless you as a human are pure of thought you can see God.

Jesus, who the son of God does not lie, and he said exactly.

"Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God"

So I did not mean unless you are pure of heart you can not see God, God can make any one see him who he wishes pure or not.

But if you are pure of heart, you will see God as God is a spirit pure of all sin.

This is why when you are a pure child, you can see God, spirits and angels. Then when you grow older most forget about it all together as they do not know what there seeing as children.

Dont you look at the world as smaller now? not as much as it was when a kid?

this is not because you was smaller, this is because you do not see all thats here like we did as children.

Belive it or not, There is a kingdom here, in a spirit sense all around us all.

This is the battle between intellect and spirit. A child's intellect is relatively empty, therefore it doesn't overrule his spiritual ears and eyes.-
Matt18v2Jesus invited a little child to stand among them. 3“Truly I tell you,” He said, “unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.
Jesus says we won't enter heaven unless we become childlike, theology says we won't enter heaven until we attain adult level theology.

Believe it or not, There is a kingdom here, in a spirit sense all around us all.

Agreed.
The sad thing is that much of christianity implies the Kingdom of Heaven is for when we are dead.

How come there is always so much fighting going on here? Why don't we just agree to disagree? Lay out our thoughts and be content with that. Do we really not want any diversity?
Thank you for your thoughts, I learned a lot

What fighting, this is a discussion.

 

[Mark Quayle]

Jesus says we won't enter heaven unless we become childlike, theology says we won't enter heaven until we attain adult level theology.

I gotta disagree with you about theology. If that is theology, it is false.

I'm guessing you have one particular kind of theology, or some particular theological point in mind, to make that statement. Mental acuity, intelligence --even knowledge-- does not save. They may help open (or close) your eyes, but they don't save.

Organize the precepts and terminology and principles and prophesies and attributes etc etc etc, of God and the Bible and the Universe, and you are no closer to God than a child is. But if you are redeemed and born again, God having made you his dwelling place, the riches of good theology are fruitful and full of joy, comfort, confidence and satisfaction, and compel the saved to pursue Christ and obey him.

 

[ilovejcsog]

Sorry, you are right. It seemed a little negative but I was speaking in general as the more I read the posts the more it seems no one agrees. It really is a terrible place to have so much disagreement. I am speaking of all of CF.
