Here's something men seem to forget. The original design for man was to have dominion and to SUBDUE the earth

Do you think man is capable of subduing all things under himself?

If Adam couldn't even ensure his own sons could be in his likeness, how do you expect generations of men to be in agreement? Let alone made in the exact likeness of GOD

Adam couldn't ensure it and neither can any man

There is only ONE who will bring all things into submission and subject all things to HIMSELF

And that is CHRIST JESUS

Thelostgirl101 ... the fact you had to ask...is your answer. We are human and duh..we think like. God does not. They in that realm.. the real realm KNOW all that is in it. And if you are a child of GOD.. then ANYTHING that is of GOD...you will know that you know that you know. Like the voice of GOD... we always know His voice. How you ask? Jesus said.. my sheep know my voice. If one has to question it.. it is not Gods voice. You just KNOW. Same here. What are the fruits of the spirit? Those are ALWAYS ON with ANYTHING of God.

Now ...not to go deep. If some angels are walking in this world.. then we can totally miss them. Never know they just walked past us. But based on what you say you saw.. the fact you have to ask.. it was NOT of God. Satan and all the fallen angels..look just like they did before the fall. So to make himself look like .. beautiful white.. glowing.. he can. This is written. So .. dont get stuck here. Where on what things do we are to be always thinking about? What does PHIL say? Things that are true good report and so forth so on. Not on things like this :)...good to ask.

Hi. I hope this is in the correct category. I need your opinions on something. Several years ago, when I was in high school I took a swim class, which was required at the time for everyone. I didn't know how to swim, so I stuck to the shallow end. When I was moving around, I noticed I didn't feel heavy at all. I looked around and saw everyone was staring at something in the deep end. It was me floating face down. Someone had been goofing around and knocked me in. I had hit my head on the way in the pool.

Then I saw two spirits come out of some kind of portal. One had a white like aura (but not brilliant) the other had a black aura (but not too dark). The lighter spirit claimed he was an angel. He said he didn't know who the other guy was (who didn't reveal himself). He tried to convince me to get back in my body. Maybe I would have a chance to survive this way. I told them I couldn't swim. They didn't seem too concerned. This was before I was officially a christian. I believed in God at the time, but wasn't officially saved. One of them said I was going to hell anyway, so what difference did it make if I lived or not. The other simply shrugged. I was so upset by this guy I tried to leave, he stopped me. This is the only time he interacted with me. The so called angel didn't seem to care if I lived or if I was going to hell. This upset me a great deal. I suggested someone jump in and save me. The one with the dark aura acted like that was a great idea and laughed. He whispered something to someone who finally jumped in and gave me CPR. I didn't remember this for a few weeks after. (maybe cause I had hit my head).

To this day I don't know if I encountered angels, demons or what. It couldn't have been a hallucination from my head blow, cause it was too vivid. I was wondering what you all think? This has bothered me since it happened. Do angels just not care like we thought? If I had been saved, would I have mattered more? Was I deceived? Where was God in all of this?

It sounds like two demons to me. The indifferent attitude of the angel gives this away.

Because one knew THE PLAN from the beginning and didn't like THE PLAN

Satan was a covering angel. He was supposed to cover until the ONE to come would come

Satan didn't like the plan and he didn't cover

Instead he lied and deceived and was in direct opposition of GOD's PLAN

What does covering mean? Does it mean ruling, does it refer to the role of the cherubs who covered the Ark of the Covenant?

It means covering our sins, Serving the children of the flesh until
The PROMISE would come

Instead of doing that he deceived man to sin

And no these angels have no part in the things pertaining to GOD

They fell, they forfeited their home, and there is no place found for them

GOD has prepared a place for them

They know it
They know their time is short

And they continue to go out airing in seeds of doubt and confusion at every turn

Weren't Adam and Eve sinless before satan tempted them? What do you mean his original job was to serve them until Jesus would come? I'm confused.

two of Noah's sons knew and did naturally what is right before GOD to do

One son didn't

And because he rather went out to announce his father's nakedness, rather than to do the work of a minister before GOD and provid a covering, he is cursed because of it

Was Adam and Eve fully alive before they sinned?

Yes.

You are confused?

Why?

Didn't you know that GOD, even as HE created man, already knew man would fall?

I believe what you say occurred did occur. I have had questions about my own experiences that happened in my late teens, very different from yours as mine were brought about from making bad decisions and pier pressure. All I can say is that I expect the experience has brought you closer to God, and whether or not the entities were angelic or not, it has made you think about your faith all this time later, and left you knowing that the way to the Father is through Jesus Christ.

Pay careful attention to the story of creation

Pay careful attention to the command given to Adam not to eat from the tree of knowledge

And also pay careful attention to the TRUTH that there was another tree in the garden

The tree of life

Why, since Adam and Eve were perfect and enjoying the full and holy glory of GOD's presence was there even a tree of life in the garden of GOD?

Because GOD was taken by surprise by man's disobedience?

Or because HE already knew?

GOD said do not eat from the tree of knowledge for IN THE DAY THAT YOU EAT OF IT...you will surely die

GOD did not say if you eat of it, or perchance that you eat if it

HE said IN THE DAY YOU EAT OF IT( showing that there would be a day in which we would eat)

HE knew
And still from the abundance of HIS GRACE and MERCY present from the beginning, HE created man

Because HE not only foreknew our fall...HE more importantly knew the victory in HIS SON

I am not familiar with Roberts Lairdon, but I cannot help but be skeptical (hopefully with a healthy skepticism) every time I hear stories like this... along with faith healers, etc.
Perhaps this actually happened. I believe Christ does appear to people... I certainly believe in the supernatural reality that surrounds us and God's power to do most anything. But I have also seen gullible people huckstered by "Christian" ministers and "faith healers".

Remember Marjoe Gortner? He was one of the youngest preachers ever! He is grown now and long apostate:

Roberts Liardon, now in his 50s, is one of the most powerful preachers of this generation. You can view his messages on Youtube.

What do you mean by powerful?

Does he preach the TRUTH of THE GOSPEL or is he just a charismatic speaker?

Do you think their movement is full of deception? I've read about a lot of false miracles going on there.
Yes. If they aren't preaching the GOSPEL aren't glorifying CHRIST aren't edifying so as to build up THE BODY of believers than they are edifying, building up and glorifying self
