I would agree

the only thing wrong with every sect and faction and denomination is they each have their own personal interpretation of scripture

Because they knew He had the authority

To answer your questions, the bible does not speak of individual guardian angels. We pray to be delivered from our own temptations, temptation to sin. The one central truth that protects us from the spiritual realm (the dark side of it), is Jesus, no more, no less. To answer the question the OP asks, in how do angels and demons fight? The bible is not clear on this, and if God wanted us to know He would have told us through His Word. I believe Jesus mentions that angels are given charge over the little ones mentioned in Mathew 18:10

I would conclude they are only burdensome for someone who still wants what the world offers, I look back when I was young and indeed they were burdensome for someone who was not done experiencing with all the sin's of the world once arriving at the other side wisdom has shown me the world offers nothing but a facade of happiness and the only true happiness is found abiding in the love of Christ but if you are like me only finding this truth on your own is when it will ring clear, thats one of the sad realities of life is we think somehow for each of us it will be different

then there is Job 33:14-18

just to add the bible said preachers would come selling the gospel for a price, the gospel they preach is true the notion they are charging you for it is their sin, it is highly likely these are who the bible says will call out "Lord Lord" did we not do all these wonderful things in your name (pharaphrase mine) and Jesus said get away from me you workers of iniquity

I would disagree, If the Holy Spirit heals someone or does an amazing miracle and someone says that healing or that miracle was done by the power of Satan that is blaspheme against the Holy Spirit I'm afriad there are many Christians who make judgments about people who completely resemble the Church of Corinth who Paul had to severly reprimand for their abuse and misuse of the gifts in which they were operating in think about it, would you believe a believer was working by the power of the Holy Spirit if you watched them drink the wine at the Lord's supper and get drunk, go to their church and hear about some guy sleeping with his fathers wife, and everyone speaking in tongues and prophesying over each other in crazy rant of confusion I don't so, but who was the power working in the church of Corinth was it the Holy Spirit or was it Beelzebub, even in the blatant errors the bible says it was the Holy Spirit, this is hard for some people to grasp that the power and gifts could be abused and misused

the verse is directed at the Pharisees who said Jesus was doing miracles and amazing healings by the power of Beelzabub, when in fact it was the power of the Holy Spirit thus you need to be very sure who is behind the power when miracles and healing powers are witnessed because clearly we see many who say Lord Lord will not enter the kingdom even though they worked miracles and cast out demon in His name but they were living lawless lives in sin and not abiding in Christ as obedient servants

You'd be surprised at how many people have the same questions you have when they are in the process of being saved, such as fallen angels, UFO's etc. But once you are saved these questions or views of creation won't matter anymore to you, because in Him we are made new. And welcome... I believe this poster like the apostle Paul did not believe he had reached the prize but like all Christians presses on toward the goal So you are saying Paul never considered himself saved? the day of judgment has not arrived yet, the whole concept of Salvation is being saved from a future event, until the day of judgment arrives we are being saved and receiving the seal of salvation as a garantee that we were called to be saved I'm sorry but I'm not a Calvinist, and do not adhere to a OSAS theology, I don't believe Paul did either

but wouldn't that depend fully on the interpretation of the vision being about Christ and not the antichrist, the angel came to Daniel to give him better understanding concerning the vision, would it not make sense to go back to the original vision and see if it was about Jesus coming or if it was concerning end of times and the coming of the antichrist many people get hung up on terms such as anointed one when Cyrus is called God's anointed one in Isaiah 45 and he is a pagan king terms as messiah could easily be used in the messiah that Israel accepts, which Christians would see as the false messiah but to make any decision one way or the other one has to go back to the vision itself and study whether it was fully about the antichrist or the real Christ, as the interpretation contextually would need to be inline with the vision itself

there is the possibility that since flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of heaven when the rapture occurs peoples bodies could fall to the ground dead as they are not needed when our spirits aquire the new tent in a twinkling of the eye thus a person could be taken yet their bodies are not............who knows but God alone what this event will look like

deception is their power

well in both cases if they ask you to pay for deliverance they are evil

You'd be surprised at how many people have the same questions you have when they are in the process of being saved, such as fallen angels, UFO's etc. But once you are saved these questions or views of creation won't matter anymore to you, because in Him we are made new.

I'm in the process of reading Jeremiah again but I believe a quick look at chapter 25 concerning the seventy years it was decreed the seventy years were alloted to be in captivity in Babylon, and in Daniels prophecy he was told the prophesy concerns the end of time I don't believe the two are talking about the same thing

might surprise people but America is in debt up to its eyeballs, all that needs to happen is those were in debt too call in their markers, there isn't a surplus on earth that could bail us out

The Bible says that creation of the earth and all that is in it took 6 days. That includes Adam. It is 6,000 years from Day 1 of creation to today. Actually Ussher got it wrong in that he failed to take into account the fact that genealogies in the Bible are often telescoped. I find the 6000 years biblically accurate, but then again we have no record of the mass we see called the earth on the first day of creation, only that it was covered with water and void, we have no idea how long it sat in space or if God had used it in the past, He has been here forever, its not likely God did nothing before our small drop in the bucket of time

you can be a woman of God anywhere on this planet, is it the dress code of a nun you wan,t so people can reconize you are a woman of faith, or is it the being part of a group of woman who work for God that has drawn you to want to be a nun I would suggest getting involved with women who don't need to wear special clothes to identify who their Lord is. God bless the nun's of the world but the history of what nun's were subjected to should cause anyone to re-evaluate such a choice

If I were you I would buy the computer because this world needs more posters like you, testifying of how it is not to want and be content where your at, buying the new computer is not being disatisfied with the old one its just a practical move how about blessing someone with the old one, that might be a good move

I believe the bible clearly shows our historical record being around 6000 years also, what I would throw into the mix is the words of Solomon found in Ecclesiastes 1:9-11 Solomon could trace his own ancestry all the way back to Adam and Eve so his ancesters were remembered, in fact the whole history from Adam and Eve and geneologies were kept in record by the Jews the wisdom of Solomon may be what Solomon found to be true, the earth itself had a previous history before our biblical creation began as we see at the end of time everything is burned up and God creates a new heaven and a new earth I find its important to note God destroyed the earth once in our own historical record we find on day one the first day of creation, the existance of the earth covered in water and existing in space. We are not given anymore information about where this planet came from and how long it had been existing without form and covered in water only God knows what occurred on this planet, and we can only speculate from what we find here on earth that doesn't fit with our own historical record the magoliths of Baalbek would be one of these things

I am perplexed at how so many theologians have interpreted Daniel 9 and the seventy sevens to be interpreted as weeks of years when the angels himself tells Daniel "understand the vision concerns the time of the end" and "I am going to tell you what will happen later in the time of wrath" "because the vision concerns the appointed time of the end" the vision is completely about the rise of the antichrist, the antichrist is completely at the end of time the the kings of Media and Persia and Greece are represented by the ram and the goat, but can human kings and princes hold angels hostage for 21 days I think these kingdoms represented by the animals do infact represent what would happen on earth with the human kingdoms and its human empires but the scripture is more about whats going to happen in the heavenly realm and the change of power within the principalities and powers in the heavens

To me, the issue has never been if the rapture is real, but rather the timing of the rapture. There is enough scripture to support the rapture such as 1 thess4, 1 cor 15, john 14, and others. The timing is not as easy to figure. It requires wisdom, prayer, research, and an open mind. And even still, you might not figure it out. I have changed my thinking several times on this subject. Today I believe the rapture is occurring right after the 6th seal is opened and is described in rev 7 very completely. For your benefit, I do place this BEFORE Daniels 70th week week begins and before a peace treaty which I believe will occur after the ezekiel 38-39 war in which our God will kick some major booty that will cause such alarm, and ultimately usher in the antichrist to quiet things down. I can give you more but that is all the time I have for now. Got to go to work. Later. Spock out I go with the time line Jesus left us with in the three gospels, and when He said He will gather the elect, considering He is the Son of God I'm guessing He will be a bit more reliable than bible teachers of the last 100 years

lets use good hermeneutics and let weeks actually mean weeks, and why not start from the premise that God knows the difference between weeks and weeks of years, the Word of God says WEEKS! not weeks of years
