  • 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.

I'd imagine that the entire heavenly host would celebrate anything that God creates.

I assume that the words heavenly host refer to angels, but since the actual words in Job 38:7 referring to the people singing HIS praise for this display of HIS eternal power and Divinity are kal bene `elohim, ie, all the sons of GOD, and does not actually reference angels (a job description, not a race or species),

why is it so illegitimate to think that this group contains every person ever created in HIS image, ie, able to be a proper Bride for HIM??? The words in the verse support this contention at face value and face value must be metaphorized to make the actual words all the sons of GOD to become the metaphor angels, a bit of backwards interpretation if you ask me since most metaphors are in verses containing the metaphor that must be interpreted into clear dogma.

Some so called translations do not even give us the words all the sons of GOD providing only the metaphor angels as if that was the word in the Hebrew text. Even if they do this with the intent to keep people from wandering into what they have judged to be heresy, it is a sinful sham, it is a wrong use of language in any book but especially in a supposed translation, not eisegetic interpretation, of scripture. Teach the text and let the Holy Spirit work with us...
