The Angel Thread...

Hu? I don't understand.

Long story short, Edward is talking about people who deny angels. I said that was scriptural, not to believe in angels.

He made a statement of fact. "Some" people don't believe in angels or only believe certain things regarding angels.

Yes. And I made the statement saying that their belief flies in the face of scripture. I wasn't referring to Edward's beliefs.

Now what point are you trying to make? Do you believe in angels or not? (EDIT: I saw your new post after posting this one. It appears you do.)

Oh, ok I get it. Yes, that would fly in the face of scripture. I didn't want to be too detailed or name names because that would be pointless and not the goal of the thread. I don't want to put anyone on the spot, I just thought to open the thread to see how membership feels/thinks about Angels.

That's good. It's not a point about attacking an individual or a group. It's about loving on others and presenting the truth in love by rebuking the concept their false beliefs.

Perhaps it would be wise to sit back and wait to see what others have to say before jumping in with sword drawn.

What do you mean? I'm not jumping to conclusions, I'm merely asking what your point is. Otherwise I wouldn't ask.

I'm not telekinetic, but I always have my sword drawn. (Ephesians 6:17).

My question remains as to what point you were trying to make.
 
This has gotten so messed up i am going to delete a few posts... Thanks Gary :)

Ok guys lets try again... i hope the slate is clean enough fora fresh start....
 
Okay, so 'ministering spirits, sent to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation' (Hebrews 1).

Dang. What did you delete mine for? I wasn't arguing with anyone. That was a good testimony about the Angel who came to visit me and help me.

:grumpy

Edward i dont see a post of yours i deleted? maybe one of the other moderators can find it...
 
I had wrote a testimony in it about last summer when (I believe) that a ministering Angel came to my garage sale and bought 2400 dollars worth of stuff, in less than two hours after I had prayed for help from the Lord because I had just received my 3 days notice because I was 2 months behind in my rent. This was no ordinary garage saler. He kept asking me how much do you need? NOT something that a normal purchaser would say!

You said you was going to delete some posts...I was gone and don't even know what people were arguing about. And I wasn't arguing, I gave a testimony for gosh sakes. The post is gone. :(
 
I remember reading that but i do not see a deletion here.. it is on the first page Edward and was not deleted it is posted below
 
In another thread, I read that some perhaps, either, do not believe in Angels, or possibly that they just may not believe that Angels visit people and help them...

So let's toss this around a little. Do you believe in Angels? Do you believe that they visit and or help people? Have you ever seen an Angel/ spoke with one? Do you think it is few and far between, more/less than biblical days, etc.?

Let's try not to make this so much of a debate thread than just What you believe/know in general, ok? Any and all other info is welcome, expound to your hearts content.

Personally, I do believe in them and think they're active as much or more than biblical days. I have never seen or had a vision of an Angel, in Angelic form, but I do believe that I was visited by an Angel in the form of a man once. (I had just been handed my 3 day notice for being two months behind in rent, so when he left, I immediately prayed and closed up my garage sale for the day, went into the house, and got a phone call, "I seen your ad for a garage sale and work all day, can I come look at it after I get off of work?" (Of course) When he showed up, he didn't act like a garage saler. He said "How much do you need?" which tilted me so to speak, and I gave no answer. Then he says, "How much for everything on that table over there?" I immediately went into salesman mode and began telling him about the items, he barely looked at them and asked again, "How much do you need?" I didn't answer and kept talking about the items. So he said "How about 1900?" (Tilt :)) I looked at him quizzically and gave no answer. (This is not how garage salers act or talk!) so he says, "How about $2400?"
So I said yes just in case he wasn't joking. He wasn't. He whipped out a big wad of cash and counted me out 24 hundreds...I asked if he'd like help loading them into his pickup and he said yes. But then, he began pointing things out to me, "keep that, I don't need it, I have no use for that, keep it..." and so forth, and he just bought the stuff!
He was fit looking, bearded, well dressed, and didn't talk like a man with more money than brains, and drove a nice truck. Long story short, I had my 2 months back rent, my utility shut off notice payment (300, due the next day) and 100 bucks for groceries within 2 hours of praying. I believe this was a ministering Angel come to help me. Praise the Lord!)

:sohappy
 
You're right reba, A closer look reveals that this testimony of mine was in fact in my first post. I feel like an idiot. I scrolled all through it but stopped just short of my first post. I had it in my head that it was further down in the thread. I had a chaotic day yesterday and did a lot of in and out and didn't pay close enough attention. That's no excuse though, and I know it. :(

1000 pardons sister. Please forgive me, I apologize so much. I knee jerked and jumped to conclusions. I'm sorry.

Edward is getting better, but Edward still needs a lot of work...The Lord be with me. :pray

lol.
Anyone who refers to themselves in the third person needs more than a little work. :wink

So let's toss this around a little. Do you believe in Angels? yes
Do you believe that they visit and or help people? yes
Have you ever seen an Angel/ spoke with one? not that I am aware of
Do you think it is few and far between, more/less than biblical days, etc.? Deborah doesn't know :shades

Ouch. I mean, you're right, lol.

Have you ever looked for Angels? In man form I mean. I tried to spot one for awhile but it was not fruitful.
 
No problem Edward . Apology accepted ... plus we all mess up
 
Ouch. I mean, you're right, lol.

I did look for an angel that another Christian woman saw standing on my back porch.
She had come to visit. When she came in she had a funny look on her face, she just said rather quietly, 'there's an angel standing on your porch"
Of coarse I looked I didn't see it. So it was for her to see, not me.
Looking back a month or so later, I found my own reaction to be strange for me.
I was talking on the phone to my oldest daughter and remembered to tell her, I had forgotten to before that.
She was excited and wanted to know what it looked like. I realized I hadn't even asked. Which is really strange for me. I want to know everything! It wasn't like I didn't believe my friend, I did.
 
Awww... and I thought this thread was gonna be about me...
