Sorry, I just realized these are off topic. You need not answer them.Is that why we follow Jesus? For the value of eternal life?
Angels have God's Divine Nature - Pure & Holy - they do not need God's help - Hebrews 2:16
From this which said, "Fallen angels are lying spirits to assist you into death."No quote? I couldn't provide one either!
No I am saying you are lying and wrong - big difference.
Because you make mockery of Christ's prayer.
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name; thy kingdom come; thy will be done; on earth as it is in heaven. Matthew 6
Yes, you are referring to humans not angels - ironically they already have eternal life and cannot sin or die.
Well, if you believe God's angels sin then you believe God's House is divided and that it cannot stand!
Sin in heaven or by an angel brings all Scripture into questions and the Holiness of God; His Sovereignty is lost.
Earth is the sole location of evil and sin.
Is that why we follow Jesus? For the value of eternal life?
Just one last thing. Animals have souls but plants do not, yet plants have life. Your insinuations and insults are your fruit and so do not effect me. So bon voyage.A dead corpse is a body without life! A fool is a body but has no functioning mind! A fool forces notions on the Word is NOT a person with spirit and soul and body - a whole person, which Paul prays may be "preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ."
Such a person who changes the Word of God will have other things to fear when he comes.
The wages of sin is death - is the Divine Decree unchangeable though fallen angel believers don't understand the seriousness of Romans 6:23.Is that why we follow Jesus? For the value of eternal life?
The conundrum for me about sinning and dying and immortals is how is satan not dead?
Take that as a compliment ;)I've never met a Christian that talks like you do.
Love that word gaslighting, my kids use it often - must be the "in"word at the minute.But it's not that you sound oh that guy knows his stuff I could learn from him type of talking, you have more of a gaslighting type of talking.
No dodge! You asked me about my God - when you meet someone for the first time there is always an exchange of names is there not?Like your "answer" to me here. At first glance it sounds like an answer. At second glance it sounds like a dodge and gaslighting.
Here you are quoting James. The common language of the day is being used which incorporates Greek Theory and Philosophy. They believed that demons were the cause of madness, epileptic disorders, and deformities etc. They "possessed" the afflicted in the sense thatI didn't ask you if you knew the Christian God name. I asked you your Gods name. What do you call him when you talk to Him? You never said "My" God. You said "He" has many names. Even the Demons know His names...and tremble.
Okay - maybe next time you can be more specific with your question and define precisely what it is you are seeking.So no need to continue unless you can speak like an adult in a non-gaslighting way!
Best use of time - if you want all your questions answered then I could ask you to do the same, would this be fair?I see you cherry picked a couple of my questions that you thought you could gaslight your way through and totally ignored the other questions???? What's with that brother?!
It's possible you are over thinking this MA.Another dodge. Did you think that you can make this about me? That I would jump to explain myself? ...when I was the one asking you a question that you dont want to answer...Nice try wrong guy.
Correct, humans are no different to animals. The fact that you try to change the Word is not an insult, its a fact you need to address. You force man made notions (pictures and images) onto the Word in the hope of confirming your bias to a particular doctrine. You are not alone. BTW the end of all animal life is the same - humans have no advantage over the animal kingdom in relation to life and death. We do however have the capability of morally reasoning God Words and by this become spiritual people.Just one last thing. Animals have souls but plants do not, yet plants have life. Your insinuations and insults are your fruit and so do not effect me. So bon voyage.
I get now what others have been writing about you dodging questions.The wages of sin is death - is the Divine Decree unchangeable though fallen angel believers don't understand the seriousness of Romans 6:23.

Sorry Kabone, I missed that first question - no dodge and nothing to hide.Is that why we follow Jesus? For the value of eternal life?

It's possible you are over thinking this MA.
Looks like you have put a lot of work into your posts with very little reward.
What are you aiming to achieve here?
This subject is almost done, unless someone presents some real evidence it appears the OP's claim that
1. Angels always do His commands (no sin)
2. God's Will is always done in Heaven and yet to be fulfilled on earth
I did not say humans and animals are no different. I said animals have a soul. They have instincts, pre-programed abilities to live their unique lives. We are made in God's image. Do you even know what that means? Our intelligence, abilities, talents, is vastly more advanced. We are given a spirit, the special essence if us that can communicate, fellowship, love God. Our God consciousness if you will. Our creative abilities ... well do I need to go on. The rational mind is not clearly seen in animals..They figure stuff out and make choices. Morality? They do choose to be mean or nice ... I am not completely clear about them not being moral at times. We are certainly given a moral code, an inner voice speaks to us, " You ought to go this way or don't do this ... help this person ... beware of that one..."Correct, humans are no different to animals. The fact that you try to change the Word is not an insult, its a fact you need to address.
The end of an animals life does not contain judgment. They are not sent to Hades. I would like to see my dog in heaven though, maybe Christ can allow that?BTW the end of all animal life is the same - humans have no advantage over the animal kingdom in relation to life and death.
The natural man reasons God's word. The one who has the Spirit in Him, discerns the Word. Like I said, God is merciful and maybe pulling you along in that dingy behind our ship ... hold on, rough waves ahead.We do however have the capability of morally reasoning God Words and by this become spiritual people.
Daystar?@Duck Muscles
Are you comfortable that the day star is speaking of the King of Babylon and not some fanciful fallen angel?
If not, can you explain to me why would God place this obscure account of a fallen angel in Isaiah's prophecy?
Can you provide the context for such a story and how it relates to the King of Babylon?
Thanks

Not quite apparently.That word has been around for around 100 years now so it's not that it's a new word, it's that you dont really know what it means, lol!
And as I've asked you twice now what would you like to know about my God!You didnt answer that question. You spoke "of" the Christian God, but you never said your God.
Spit it our dear boyWhat am I seeking? You got me. I am seeking something. I've approached it from a few different angles and havent got a response to any angle of it!
Have you thought that the OP is about Angels? If you want to start a separate thread about Your God / My God Your Jesus / My Jesus feel free. Maybe you just like going off topic? Is it a control thing on your part? Who knows!It seems as if, you can not or will not speak of the Christian God as your God on a personal level. You've never said for instance, Jesus the Christ is my Lord.
Jesus was raised up out of flesh - His mum was Mary and his Father, Yahweh. He was given life by the Holy Spirit ( Gods Power) and was born into the condemned line of Adam, hence why he is called the Second Adam.I've asked you this question many times now, and you never have answered it:
Did Jesus come in the flesh on earth and get crucified and rise again on the 3rd day?
Is that not specific enough you, turd brain? Lol, Geez!
Many will make such claims and find it was another spirit which led them.The Holy Spirit of God is our teacher and will lead us into ALL truth.
So error promotes and supports error?And as I come here and read about people talking about God, I seem to see two groups of people. The nut jobs like you who's mouth is full of untruths, and a 2nd group of people who writes things about the Lord...that I know to be a fact because the Lord has taught me the same things! So that makes sense the the Holy Spirit which leads us into all truth, would be teaching the same Truths to different believers, bringing fruit to their words and proof that the Holy Spirit is alive and well and on the job.
Good question.Now ask yourself, why would the Holy Spirit teach you differently than many many other people who all are seeking the one real truth? Are you special? Red flag for you.
Every misquote has been dealt with without reply might I add! (go back and see!) even those I respect who hold similar beliefs to me have failed to defend their beliefs.Oh, mainly I suppose just to establish you as a boy filled with lies in this thread. And I have done that, and quite a few others have done that also and posted the truth with scriptures to back up the truth, because everything must be judged against the book of Truths. The scrupture is our resource for truth and establishes the truth.
So if any new Christians or weak Christians happen to read this thread, all they have to do to check for themselves is to read it for themselves....and it either has the ring of truth to it, or not.
LOLSo your OP has be so solidly proofed wrong and very soundly for many pages now.
A lot of words here with little value to the OP? You write a lot but say little - do you know you do this?And you call your brand of untruths a wisdom of logic?! Bwahahahahahaha! Oh my Lord! That is so funny because it demonstrates your low comprehension about scripture. Ok read and learn friend. Logic is of the Intellect and is Knowledge, so it is carnal and of the soul.
Wisdom has nothing to do with the soul. Wisdom is of the spirit, and the heart, and the Conscience. Intuition and so is the flip side of Logic. Maybe if you learned more about words and their meanings you will come to learn these things. And you should actually try reading your Bible for once. When you don't read your Bible, and someone posts scripture to you, you have no clue, (or knowingly act as such on purpose just to be confusing and Trollish) and your replys to scripture posts are either non-existant, or so far from wisdom of truth that they be absurd. You dont even ask good questions!
I'm interested in your tone and implied use of bad language...do you swear in public? Do you find controlling the tongue a struggle and if so, what measure have you used to try and cease this bad habit? I can help here - I once cussed a lot before I came to my Lord.So between me and other posters, I think we have done well to expose your BS in this thread, so there is little chance that new or weak Christians would be swayed from the truth with your lies. They will rad the scriptures of truth for themselves and wonder why you would say such stupid things that are unscriptural? No one is that stupid nowadays! Not even you.
Well, it tells us this.WHat does that tell us? That you are evil in your intent. I've spoken to the spirit in you through this thread and tested him....and he wont let you say his name or answer certain questions. And that my friend establishes a truth about you.
Take care.
I wont answer your whole reply but pick this initial point.We are given a spirit, the special essence if us that can communicate, fellowship, love God.
@KaboneSorry Kabone, I missed that first question - no dodge and nothing to hide.
What you are asking is whether our motive for following the Lord is eternal life?
The answer is yes & no.
The Apostle Paul puts a lovely way in Romans 2.
to those who by patience in well-doing seek for glory and honor and immortality, he will give eternal life; Romans 2:7
Some observations here if I may.
We dont have glory, honor or immortality as these qualities belonging to God, which He gave to His Son, and in turn he will give to his disciples when he returns. Notice how as a result of seeking these things in this life (Like Matt 6 Beatitudes) Christ will grant Eternal Life.
We follow the Lord because we love him and endeavor to obey his commands - he calls us friends if we do this.
Hope that answers your question.
Also, you should go back through the thread and see how many of my questions still remain unanswered - I think you would find the tally is well and truly in my favour.
God bless

I recall that identity being that of Morningstar .Meaning for Lucifer
To the extent how it matters if eternal life loses value. You might lose few because of that, but it would still be the most valuable thing you could have. Therefore nearly all would still do good and seek glory, honor, and eternal life.
For 35 years I did not have a relationship with Christ. I was not interested, not drawn to Him in any way. I was on my own throne, lost. Them I was found, drawn to Christ through events and people that I realized were planned, not coincidence. I was a divine appointment, as awareness that God existed, that He loved me and had been there all along. These eye opening expereiences: being drawn to God, the Bible, a church, fellowship, prayer, were all ordered, authored by Christ. I received knowledge and faith in Christ and the Holy Spirit, Who confirmed His presense within me communing with my spirit, which was new. Fellow Christians told me in the beginning, it's like you are in a Honeymoon, wonderful and amazing things happen, prayers are answered, change within yourself becomes evident, you experience and are aware of His love _ everyday. We see the world and ourselves differently. That's the special essence of the new self, the new creature, who is like an infant that grows. We become hungry for milk, then later meat. We become aware of sin in others and our own life - we hate it, avoid it and render our old selves crucified with Christ.I wont answer your whole reply but pick this initial point.
What's your earliest proof for this "special essence?"
