1 | Dr. B. What does aggelos mean? | Eph 4:9 | drbloor | 171644 | ||
Dear Searcher, I can only assume you have not read a word I have written. I have not changed any words - I directed you to the original Greek word "Tartarus" to explain what was being referred to by "hell". I directed you to the examples in the Psalms to explain what the "chains of darkness" are. And I proved from Peter that the people of Sodom and Gomorrah are "reserved for judgment" in precisely the same way as these aggelos are. The similarity in their state is obvious because they are all dead humans. Please do not accuse me of changing words when I have not done that. In answer to what happened to the others, have you read 2 Peter 2 or Genesis 6? The aggelos of Peter were not spared and neither was "the old world". Everyone died apart from Noah and his family. Jude 1:6 and 7 are direct references to Peters letter, so there is no reason to cover the same issue twice. I don't understand this sentence - "Plus, if those in Genesis 6:2, how did they have relations?" You are very good at asking questions but not very good at answering them. So here's a few to start with (some of which you have already blatantly ignored): Please explain how angels can sin, when Christ told us that they can't. Please explain how the 50 men looking for Elijah thought they'd find him when Elisha had already told them that Elijah was in Heaven and, according to you, they had most probably watched Elijah go there. Please explain why you have invented a belief that they were after Elijahs spirit, when 2 Kings 2 actually tells us that they "afar off" and on the other side of the river Jordan during the conversation about double portions of spirit, and also tells us the exact reason they went to look for Elijah – that they were concerned about Elijahs safety and went to make sure he was okay? They urged Elisha until he was "shamed", not until he got angry with them for wanting Elijahs spirit! It is clear they cared about Elijah. Your claim they wanted double portions of Elijahs spirit is invented un-Biblical nonsense. In your own words, "Where is your Biblical support?" Please prove that the heaven we are referred to in 2 Kings 2 is the Heaven where God abides and not the heaven of the sky. Please prove your convolution that Elijahs letter was a prophecy and not simply a letter written at the time. Please explain why when Jesus said, "No man hath ascended up to heaven," he was actually lying. I look forward to your answers. In future, please read what I have written before you write your answers. It will help prevent you from making false accusations. Yrs, Dr. B. |

2 | Dr. B., Did He inspire Peter and Jude? | Eph 4:9 | Searcher56 | 171651 | ||
Dr. B., do you agree that the Holy Spirit inspired each Biblical writer (2 Tim 3:16) and they didn't borrow or copy from another writer? I ask in light of my next post. Searcher |

3 | Dr. B., Did He inspire Peter and Jude? | Eph 4:9 | drbloor | 171655 | ||
Dear Searcher, I agree 100 percent that the writers of the Bible were inspired by the Holy Spirit, but I can't agree that they did not use or refer to other inspired writings. That would be absurd. The later writers of the gospels clearly referred to the writings of the earlier gospels. And the whole of the New Testament is infused with the Old Testament. A full list of examples would be huge. Why would you claim such a thing? Yrs, Dr. B. |

4 | Dr. B., Did He inspire Peter and Jude? | Eph 4:9 | Searcher56 | 171657 | ||
While the writers knew and referred about other writings, it was the Holy Spirit that inspired them to include it ... that is why Jude (about 65 AD) and Peter (about 67 AD) use different words. The dates are from one source ... I think they were written about the same time and if the latter writer read the first letter written. Neither writer refers to the other. | ||||||
