  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

If humans are Gods principal creation, why did he create a universe that is bigger than we can even imagine? Why create stars and planets we can't ever hope to see?

Some believe the stars are home to the angels.

Those "some" would be adding to god's word then, as that verse clearly says nothing about angels living in/on stars. As I recall there's something about that elsewhere in the bible...

If they are the home to the angles, why does God allow so many to be destroyed in Revelation? What happens to the angles when the star goes supernova?

1/3 of the angels decided to follow Lucifer when he rebelled.

[bible]Revelation 12:3-4[/bible]

Of that 1/3, a small portion went so far as to marry some of the women here on earth.

[bible]Genesis 6:1-2[/bible]

Their imprisonment and destroyed homes are a testimony to the other angels what can happen should any choose to follow suit.

[bible]Jude 1:6[/bible]

Therefore angels are God's principal creation?

I doubt it.

[bible]Hebrews 1:14[/bible]

We were created in the very image and likeness of God, Himself.

[bible]Genesis 1:26[/bible]

And some believe that little green men live on them. What's your point?

What do you mean, 'What's my point?'

Did you see the question I was responding to?

And the bible does not mention any planets for them?

That's a shame...

Also, as already pointed out, there are more stars than humans on planet Earth. So this suggest more angels than men?

And what do you believe?

Much, much, much more. Jesus alone could have called for twelve legions.

[bible]Matthew 26:53[/bible]

And Elisha knew of multitudes.

[bible]2 Kings 6:17[/bible]

As did the shepherds.

[bible]Luke 2:13-14[/bible]

Forget about what some may believe, AV. What is your answer to the OP question?

Because GOD is bigger than we could ever imagine.

Romans 1:20

For since the creation of the world GOD's invisible qualities----HIS eternal power and divine nature---- have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so men are without excuse.

So then, you're included in the "some believe". Why go through all that? Why not state "I believe....", then give your reason? This isn't groups talking to groups. This is individuals talking to individuals.

BTW, that Bible verse you quoted doesn't say that God made stars to house angels. Got anything else?

Also, how many angels per star? And, do all stars house angels?

Please give specific scripture which literally supports your answers.

Because one day we will see them. Presently we are limited by time and this natural realm but after this dispensation is over those who believe the Lord and our faithful to Him will be opened up to all that He has prepared for us in the future.

Your belief is certainly worthy of fstdt.com, but I can't really find any individual quotes worthy of being submitted. Please sumarize the beliefs you have expressed in this thread in some catchy quote, I'd be very grateful.

Peter :)
