Things You Need To Know About Angels by Highcuerayte: 9:32pm On Oct 24, 2015 |
Here are what I know about angels you can add yours to it. 1. They Dated Before Us: Angels as the Bible Say were made in the beginning when God originally create the whole universe billions of years ago .They are not God first creation the universe is, because materials used in covering the angels were derived from the universe e.g The Cherubim Lucifer. Just like man was made from the elements of earth so were the angels made of heavenly element. Unlike human Angels years of existence is unknown but one thing is sure angels are made before us.We human only came into existence after the Lucifer's flood; created in the days of recreation. 2. Purely Spirit Being: Angels in all their ranks are purely and wholly spiritual.Though explanation on how they were created were not giving in details in the Bible but from what we gathered from the Bible they are spirit being incapable of self existence. They are unitary which makes them inferior to God but superior to men in that they don't have a fleshy body instead they have a Spiritual body. Something that denotes supernatural. 3. They Are Beings Of Higher Intelligence: The least of the angels has an intelligence greater than the intelligence of every man on earth put together. Even fallen angels still have intelligent great enough to easily make man do their will and fulfil their purpose of destruction.They easily equipped human with technology great enough to make ourselves extinct from the surface of the earth.If angels fallen can have such intelligence you can imagine the intelligences of Holy angels. 4. They Are Fearless: Angels are created to be fearless.You might have watched their simulacrum in movies but I tell you that is far from whom angels are.They are absolutely fearless.Angels of every ranks are fearless.They fight till their last breath.That is why Lucifer is hell bent on defeating God because they are fearless beings.Fearless doesn't denote not being terrified but not being discouraged. 5. They Are Merciless: Lovely beings they say Angels are but not when they are called to war by God. Angels are merciless with no intuition or emotions when it comes to executing judgment. As we speak four angels are ready to kill two billions of human population in the coming world war III. When the fallen angels came into the world the days of Noah they came to push human into extinction through there continuous mating with human.Angels are merciless beings whether Holy or fallen. 6: They Can Shape Lift: When David saw angels on earth he called them army of God.Lot saw them as men,Abraham as men and host of others saw them as men.One thing about angels irrespective of their ranks can shape lift into man still retaining their spirituality. 7. They Love To Be In God Presence: The Angels delights in God always.Thats their abode.They sing and worship him always.They love to be with him because he is their life. 8. They Are All Subjected To Christ: From the beginning the angels are subjected to the WORD as they were to the Father and the Holy Spirit because Christ created the angels.At his name "Christ" all angels bow whether fallen or Holy. 9. They Are Co-Workers With Believers In Christ: If there is anything that Christains share with angels it is the servanthood. All Holy Angels are with Christains servant of God.Co-workers with Believers in Christ. Brethrens Christ promised to make us one day equal with Holy angels in power, might and strength.In intelligence, Glory and Wisdom .Let us stand firm in Faith declaring Jesus the Son of God as we all together await the second coming of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. For we will be great again someday. 2 Likes 1 Share |

O.P you were wrong when you said that angels are superior to man... We were made higher than angels. Every believer in Christ is higher than angels. They do not have the sonship that we have. Angels are mere messengers, whereas we humans are children of GOD, heirs of the father and joint heirs with Christ the Son. You do know it is written that we shall judge angels right?? 1 Like |

If heaven is a Real Physical place. Then you must ask, "Which planet or galaxy does this place exist? Definitely not Earth....think about it: if one is coming down from this place or going up into this place it has exist above this planet. In the bible Heaven is also depicted as "the place beyond the clouds"....if you looked through a telescope and saw beyond the clouds, what are you looking at? SPACE How does Angel=Alien? If I am a 'Heaven Dweller" and we've established that Heaven is Space, then what ( in modern terminology) do we consider a "Space dweller"? ALIEN What do you think a 'winged creature ' that originates from another planet and able to travel through space to reach Earth is called? Today we say Alien or ET...in biblical times they called them Angels... UFO-Chariot of Fire Artificial insemination- Virgin Birth God(s)- ET's with longer life spans and advance technology Resurrections performed- advanced medicine and surgery High Tech technology- miracles, blessings Holy- Cosmic |

trapQ: 1 Men are higher than Angels: No Scripture teaches such if there is let me know . Humans are in all way inferior to Angels and that is why Christ came to died in other that we might be equal to Angels. You don't aspire to be equal to what you are greater than or superior to but to what you are inferior to. 2. Every believers Is higher than Angels: Not yet and will not be.Christ teaches us we will be equal to angels in the resurrection.Not lower and not greater. 3. Angels don't have the sonships: They are divinely sons of God. It is humans except the Jews that have no right to the sonship.And that is why Christ came that all human can have access to the sonship and not the Jews alone. With faith we gain the sonship through Christ but Angels are legitimate sons of God.No adoptions. 4. Angels are mere messengers: Angels are fire and flame.Vessel of judgement of God the same feat Christ has achieved with his blood and that is why the angel in revelation said to Paul, "I am a fellow messenger with you and your brethren" only because of the cross.Before the cross they were not fellow messenger but the cross of Christ unite the family of God of which the Angels are part of hence the word "Fellow" |

Re: Things You Need To Know About Angels by Cutehector(m): 7:31am On Oct 25, 2015 |
Greater is he, who has not yet seen, but believes... Op, Jesus stated the fact here with much emphasis on the word "greater" Wen one is a tru believer of God, he is greater... Greater dan d devil, greater dan the angels.. Because he has not seen. Cc: trapq 2 Likes 2 Shares |

Highcuerayte:lol faith.. Yeah. Abraham was a friend of God right... Tell me, is any angel in heaven greater dan him? |
Re: Things You Need To Know About Angels by Highcuerayte: 8:02am On Oct 25, 2015 |
Cutehector:Yea all are greater than him. |
Re: Things You Need To Know About Angels by Cutehector(m): 8:10am On Oct 25, 2015 |
Highcuerayte:hahaha... God made man in his image and likeness... The scriptures made us to understand that man was placed in d earth to be a little lower than the angels... Yes we are mortals nw, we are lower dan the angels in terms of divinity status.. But when we receive salvation by the lord's mercy, we will rule with christ... Angels don't rule with christ.. |
Re: Things You Need To Know About Angels by Highcuerayte: 8:19am On Oct 25, 2015 |
Cutehector: 1. Little Lower Than Angels: That refers to Christ not human in general. Paul expantiate on that more. Christ greater than Angels was made a little lower than Angels(while on earth) later restored to his greatness (Sitting at God right hand). The phrase little lower than Angels applies not to men but the son of man. 2. Rule with Christ: Yes to us is the coming world subjected and that is where we will judge angels. But then we will not be greater than Angels but equal to them. |

Re: Things You Need To Know About Angels by Nobody: 9:08am On Oct 25, 2015 |
Highcuerayte: What trapQ wrote is the truth. Consider this => Romans 8:29 For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. ^^^ Through foreknowledge God has predestined us to be conformed into the image of His son Jesus Christ so that He (Jesus) would be our older brother. So if a true spirit-filled Christian is like Jesus, he would be greater than Angels in power and all things. Angels are ministering spirit...sent to minister to the heirs of God. Romans 8:14-16 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, "Abba, Father". The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God. ^^^ Even the spirit of God bears us witness that we are the children of God and joint heir of the Kingdom of God with Jesus Christ. Just because we are adopted children doesn't mean we are NOT God's! Hebrews 1:5-6 For to which of the angels did He ever say: "You are My Son, today I have begotten You?" And again: "I will be to Him a Father, and He shall be to Me a Son?". But when He again brings the firstborn into the world, He says: "Let all the angels of God worship Him." ^^^ If the firstborn of God is to be worshiped by the angels then this should tell you that angels are servants to the other children of God. Angels are NOT children of God but ministering spirits and servants to the heirs of God. Hebrews 1:14 Are not the angels ministering spirits , sent to serve those who will inherit salvation? ^^^ Angels are our servants, but ofcourse if a son doesn't know his rightful place in his Father's house it would be easy for his Father's servants to cajole him now, don't you think? This was exactly what happened in the garden of Eden. This is the very reason why ignorant man in his fallen estate serve Satan and his demons (By doing their will) instead of reconciling with their Father through the finished work of Jesus Christ so as to gain access to power beyond that of Satan. 1 Like |

DoubleDeeX:Brother you contradict the Bible more but there is no time to reply this lengthy post of yours. |
Re: Things You Need To Know About Angels by Nobody: 9:59am On Oct 25, 2015 |
Highcuerayte: Bro if you have the Holy ghost in you, you will know that what I put up there is not in any way contradictory or contrary to the scripture. Well, hold on to whatever works for you; I made the post for other viewers and children of God to know and understand their rights! Why do you think the Bible referred to Jesus as the second Adam? The first Adam was like Jesus but foolishly submitted to the will of Satan...A powerless Christian is a servant to sin; that's why if you are not born of the spirit of God you are nothing but a slave to Satan. But if you are born of the spirit of God, you are a son of God; and fallen angels would be subjected to you while the angels of God will do whatever you ask them to because they are ministering spirits and your servants. Shalom! |
Re: Things You Need To Know About Angels by Highcuerayte: 10:04am On Oct 25, 2015 |
DoubleDeeX:Another sets of contradiction. Adam was like Jesus? Trust me bro the readers you are writing for knows more than you do and they know one day through Christ they will be equal to Angels . No point in quibbling over words you believing you are greater than Angels doesn't make you greater than them. Only The Trinity is greater than Angels and you holding that view is saying you are equal to God. |
Re: Things You Need To Know About Angels by Nobody: 10:13am On Oct 25, 2015 |
^^^ LOL brother! You are far behind in the knowledge of the things of the spirit of God. I will advice you to go for the baptism of the holy ghost first, because without the holy ghost you wouldn't understand these things! Study your Bible too because I can see that you are still attached to the things you learned in Sunday school Study to show yourself approved unto God! I'm a child of God...a true child of God; angels are my servants...they do whatever I tell them to do... Humble yourself before God in prayers and He will reveal things to you. 1 Corinthians 15:45 And so it is written, "The first man Adam became a living being." The last Adam became a life- giving spirit. ^^^ Jesus Christ is the last Adam. He passed the test of obedience and overcame Satan that was why he became a life giving spirit! Shalom! |

DoubleDeeX:FYI I don't go to church. And BTW what do you mean by go for baptism of the Holy Spirit |
Re: Things You Need To Know About Angels by EVarn(m): 10:19am On Oct 25, 2015 |
Highcuerayte:Angels are ministering spirits in the presence of the children of God,they are servants of those reborn in the light of Christ.It is written in the book of Hebrew. |
Re: Things You Need To Know About Angels by Highcuerayte: 10:24am On Oct 25, 2015 |
crixtex:Christ said and I quote " Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels;and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection." Equal not greater than the Angels. I never said Angels are equal to God. Did I? 1 Like 1 Share |
