1 | Are angels sinful? | Heb 12:26 | xmikx | 135542 | ||
Kalos, you state that "the Bible contains no description of that event." But in Revelation 12: 7-9 it states '7And there was war in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought back. 8But he was not strong enough, and they lost their place in heaven. 9The great dragon was hurled down--that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him.(NIV) This states that Satan and his angels were hurled or fell to the earth where he reigns today. | ||||||
2 | Are angels sinful? | Heb 12:26 | EdB | 135553 | ||
If I may let me respond. The question now becomes is Revelation 12:7-9 talking about past or future events? If you read verse 10 it calls Satan the accuser of the brethren. Which we know this is Satan's job and that Jesus stands as our intercessor against his accusations. Therefore Satan must still have access to heaven thus Rev 12 is talking about future events not past. Verse 9 says he and his angels fell but again we have no idea how or when these angels became 'his'. It is possible that God had assigned Satan a third of the angels before Satan's rebellion and that the angels had to go with him actually having no choice. Or it can as some suggest that Satan was able to deceive them into following him, thus they had a choice. This passage simply does not clarify the issue. EdB |
