4 | Free will in heaven? | Bible general Archive 1 | Love Fountain | 31181 | ||
Dear vanagon, You ask, "1) Why do we have to live here on earth before we can be in heaven? Why doesn't God just create people in heaven. 2) Why does God allow evil and suffering to exist and why must we endure it? Both your questions may be answered by the following verses, Matt 13:30 30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn. KJV Matt 13:38-42 38 The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one; 39 The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels. 40 As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world. 41 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; 42 And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. KJV In the above verses we are told that there are good people and bad people and they must be together until the time of the harvest and then they will be separated. I believe we are here to make a choice, to follow God or satan, good or bad. The choice is ours through the gift of freewill we decide to endure or partake. Hope this helps.

5 | why did jesus come | Bible general Archive 1 | Love Fountain | 35091 | ||
Dear Shirl, While the others have given you good answers, another answer to why is found in the following verses, Heb 2:14-18 14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; 15 And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. 16 For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham. 17 Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people. 18 For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted. KJV A father would never ask his children to do something he would not do himself. Our Father is no different, just as His children wear the flesh so did He. He was not tempted, and lives by every word that proceeds from His mouth and so should we also live by His Words of mercy and love. Thank you Jesus! Bless you, Love Fountain |

6 | What will it be like in heaven? | Bible general Archive 1 | Love Fountain | 35225 | ||
Dear Shel, What heaven will be like, we cannot begin to understand but we are given a glimpse of what some of the attendees will be like in the following, Matt 5:1-19 5:1 And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him: 2 And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying, 3 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 4 Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. 5 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. 6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. 7 Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. 8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. 9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. 10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. 12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you. 13 Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men. 14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. 15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. 16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. 17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. 18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. 19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. KJV Bless you, Love Fountain |

7 | Can a person's spirit visit the earth? | Bible general Archive 1 | Love Fountain | 36220 | ||
Dear Suzanne, You asked,"When a person dies, and goes to heaven, does their spirit ever return to earth, to visit?" Based on the following Scripture I would say yes. Matt 17:1-3 17:1 And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart, 2 And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light. 3 And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him. KJV I believe Moses and Elijah were in heaven and came back to Earth, and John 11:43-44 43 And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth. 44 And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go. KJV Lazarus died and came back from heaven. The above verses support that yes a persons spirit can return to earth to visit. You never stated what you believed but that's ok, hope this helps. Bless you, Love Fountain |

8 | DOES GOD AGREE WITH CREMATION | Bible general Archive 1 | Love Fountain | 36227 | ||
Dear CHALEBERT, According to 1Cor 15:44 we have two bodies, a natural body and a spiritual body and when we take our last breath in the natural body we leave the physical world and enter into the spiritual. 1 Cor 15:42-46 42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption: 43 It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power: 44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body. 45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit. 46 Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual. KJV Or how about Ecclesiastes, Eccl 12:6-7 6 Or ever the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern. 7 Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it. KJV The spirit returns unto God who gave it, can also be stated as, to be absent from the natural body is to be present with God. 2 Cor 5:1-6 5:1 For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. 2 For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven: 3 If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked. 4 For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life. 5 Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing is God, who also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit. 6 Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord: KJV I believe God could make another flesh body if He wanted to, But God himself is Spirit and I believe we are promised to live with Him in His image spiritually. I don't know exactly yes or no if God agree's with cremation, but I would believe ashes to ashes and dust to dust, from the ground we are and unto the ground we shall return according to the flesh which is seen as corruptible and weak throughout the Bible as we search for the Truth.

10 | Mat 26:7/Luke 7:37 -is this same woman | Bible general Archive 1 | Love Fountain | 38162 | ||
Dear vblaise, Thank you for the question. Perhaps you may find the following of interest. The Six Marys This Is Appendix 100 From The Companion Bible. The name "Mary", when used of the Lord's mother, is always in Greek Mariam (equals sign) the Hebrew Miriam, as in Exodus 15:20. The other five are usually "Maria". 1.Mary the mother of our Lord (Matthew 1:16, etc.). The context never leaves room for any doubt as to her indentity. 2.Mary the mother of James the less and Joses (Matthhew 27:56. Mark 15:40; 16:1. Luke 24:10). She is called "the other Mary" (Matthew 27:61; 28:1), and the wife of Cleopas (John 19:25). 3.Mary the sister of Martha, who anointed the Lord's feet (John 12:3), see Appendix 156 and 158. She is mentioned by name only in Luke 10:39, 42 and John 11:1, 2, 19, 20, 28, 31, 32, 45; and 12:3. 4.Mary Magdalene, of Magdala (Matthew 15:39). She is always to be indentified by this designation (Matthew 27:56. Mark 16:1, 9. Luke 8:2. John 20:18, etc.); there is no authority whatever for identifying her with the unnamed woman of Luke 7:37-50. 5.Mary the mother of John Mark (Acts 12:12). 6.Mary, one of Paul's helpers (Romans 16:6).

11 | Character descript Jacob? | Bible general Archive 1 | Love Fountain | 40748 | ||
Dear Rocurwrld, JACOB Character. Jacob appears to have inherited the gentle, quiet, and retiring character of his father along with a selfishness and a prudence that approached cunning. These showed themselves in his reprehensible deception of his father, his dealings with Esau, and the means that he employed to make his bargain with his uncle (Laban) work to his own enrichment. We must remember, however, that he was accustomed to caution and restraint in the presence of a more vigorous brother, that he was secretly stimulated by a belief that God designed for him some superior blessing, that he was compelled to leave home to preserve his life, and that he was obliged to cope with an avaricious and crafty uncle. But "God revived the promise over which he had brooded for sixty years, since he learned it in childhood from his mother. Angels conversed with him. Gradually he felt more and more the watchful care of an ever-present spiritual Father. Face to face he wrestled with the representative of the Almighty. And so, even though the moral consequences of his early transgressions hung about him, and saddened him with a deep knowledge of all the evil of treachery, and domestic envy, and partial judgment, and filial disobedience, yet the increasing revelations of God enlightened the old age of the patriarch; and at last the timid 'supplanter,' the man of subtle devices, waiting for the salvation of Jehovah dies, the 'soldier of God,' uttering the messages of God to his remote posterity" (Smith, Bib. Dict.). (From The New Unger's Bible Dictionary. Originally published by Moody Press of Chicago, Illinois. Copyright (c) 1988.) Hope this helps. Bless you, Love Fountain Matt 5:16-18 16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. 17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. 18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

12 | Crusifiction of Christ | Bible general Archive 1 | Love Fountain | 40763 | ||
Dear ddrundle, The Cross and Crucifixion. This Is Appendix 162 From The Companion Bible. In the Greek New Testament two words are used for "the cross" on which the Lord was put to death. 1. The word stauros; which denotes an upright pole or stake, to which the crimminals were nailed for execution. 2. The xulon, which generally denotes a piece of a dead log of wood, or timber, for fuel or for any other purpose. Is is not like dendron, which is used of a living, or green tree, as in Matthew 21:8; Revelation 7:1, 3; 8:7; 9:4, etc. As this latter word xulon is used for the former stauros, it shows us that the meaning of each is exactly the same. The verb stauroõ means to drive stakes.1 Our English word "cross" is the translation of the Latin crux; but the Greek stauros no more means a crux than the word "stick" means a "crutch". Homer uses the word stauros of an ordinary pole or stake, or a single piece of timber.2 And this is the meaning and usage of the word throughout the Greek classics.3 It never means two pieces of timber placed across one another at any angle, but always of one piece alone. Hence the use of the word xulon (No. 2, above) in connection with the manner of our Lord's death, and rendered "tree" in Acts 5:30; 10:39; 13:29. Galatians 3:13. 1 Peter 2:24. This is preserved in our old English name rood, or rod. See the Encycl. Brit., 11th (Camb.) ed., volume 7, page 505d. There is nothing in the Greek of the New Testament even to imply two pieces of timber. The letter chi, , the initial of the word Christ , was originally used for His Name; or . This was superseded by symbols and , and even the first of these had four equal arms. These crosses were used as symbols of the Babylonian sun-god, , and are first seen on a coin of Julius Cæsar, 100 - 44 B.C., and then on a coin struck by Cæsar's heir (Augustus), 20 B.C.4 On the coins of Constantine the most frequent symbol is ; but the same symbol is used without the surrounding circle, and with the four equal arms vertical and horizontal; and this was the symbol specially venerated as the "Solar Wheel". It should be stated that Constantine was a sun-god worshipper, and would not enter the "Church" till some quarter of a century after the legend of his having seen such a cross in the heavens (EUSEBIUS, Vit. Const. I. 37). The evidence is the same as to the pre-Christian (phallic) symbol in Asia, Africa, and Egypt, whether we consult Nineveh by Sir A. H. LAYARD (ii 213), or Manners and Customs of the Ancient Egyptians, by Sir J. GARDNER WILKINSON, iii. pages 24, 26, 43, 44, 46, 52, 82, 136. Dr. SCHLIEMANN gives the same evidence in his Ilios (1880), recording his discoveries on the site of prehistoric Troy. See pages 337, 350, 353, 521, 523. Dr. MAX OHNEFALSCH - RICHTER gives the same evidence from Cyprus; and these are "the oldest extant Phoenician inscriptions"; see his Kypros, the Bible, and Homer : Oriental Civilisation, Art, and Religion in Ancient Times, Plates XIX, XXV, XXVI, XXX, XXXI, XXXII, XL, LVIII, LXIX, etc. The Catacombs in Rome bear the same testimony : "Christ" is never represented there as "hanging on a cross", and the cross itself is only pourtrayed in a veiled and hesitating manner. In the Egyptian churches the cross was a pagan symbol of life, borrowed by the Christians, and interpreted in the pagan manner. See the Encycl. Brit., 11th (Camb.) ed., volume 14, page 273. In his Letter from Rome Dean Burgon says : "I question whether a cross occurs on any Christian monument of the first four centuries". Read the rest of this at www.therain.org.

Dear ddrundle, Forgive me for the confusion. The original post to you was in referrence to the shape of the cross and something I found of interest which I hoped you would too. I don't know the true shape of the cross because I was not there when Jesus was crucified. Bless you, Love Fountain Deut 6:5-7 5 And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. 6 And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: 7 And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.

14 | Please disprove rapture theory!? | Bible general Archive 1 | Love Fountain | 41614 | ||
Dear conlan4k, You ask,"Can someone show me where I can prove that we will not fly up into the sky ?" Please read the following verse, Ezek 13:20 20 Wherefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against your pillows, wherewith ye there hunt the souls to make them fly, and I will tear them from your arms, and will let the souls go, even the souls that ye hunt to make them fly. KJV Some people believe the above verse tells that God is not happy with those who teach people to fly to save their souls and that He will take back the souls. Unfortunately some will fly by their own choice but rest assured they will be taken back as God states in the above verse. You also ask,"I would like to know where I can find the scripture that says we will be brought before satan and we need to let the holy spirit speak through us." Scripture in the following verses doesn't directly say satan, but who is the one deceiving the whole world, are they not the ones(the ones deceived) who receive a testimony from the Holy Spirit through people chosen by God. Matt 10:17-20 17 But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues; 18 And ye shall be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles. 19 But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak. 20 For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you. KJV Mark 13:9-11 9 But take heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils; and in the synagogues ye shall be beaten: and ye shall be brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them. 10 And the gospel must first be published among all nations. 11 But when they shall lead you, and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost. KJV There is definitely going to be a testimony in which the Holy Spirit is going to talk through people based on the above verses. I believe Christians are being weakened by believing they will not have to be here on earth through the tribulation. Bless you, Love Fountain Rev 9:4 4 And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.

15 | how much is a legion? | Bible general Archive 1 | Love Fountain | 41774 | ||
Dear jenbrock, The following three sources talk about legion. I hope this helps and sorry for any duplicates. LEGION LEGION The principal unit of the Roman army, consisting of 3,000 to 6,000 infantry troops and 100 to 200 cavalrymen. The New Testament does not use the word legion in its strict military sense, but in a general sense to express a large number. When Jesus healed a man possessed by unclean spirits or demons, He asked the man his name. He replied, "My name is Legion; for we are many" (Mark 5:9). The man was inhabited by many demons. (from Nelson's Illustrated Bible Dictionary, Copyright (c)1986, Thomas Nelson Publishers) LEGION LEGION The largest division of the Roman army, of which it was, in order and armament, the miniature; 6,000 foot, with a body of horse. Matt 26:53, "thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to My Father, and He shall presently give Me more than twelve legions of angels," against this band from the Roman "legion"; not merely My twelve apostles, but twelve "legions," and these "angels?" (compare 2 Kings 6:17; Dan 7:10.) In Mark 5:9 the demon-possessed says, "my name is legion, for we are many," "because many demons (Greek) were entered into him." (from Fausset's Bible Dictionary, Electronic Database Copyright (c)1998 by Biblesoft) LEGION LEGION. A main division of the Roman army, nearly equivalent to our regiment. It comprised a much larger number of men, running from 3,000 men to about 6,000 at the time of Christ. See Army. Figurative. The word legion came to mean a great number or multitude, for example, of angels (Matt 26:53) and of evil spirits (Mark 5:9,15). BIBLIOGRAPHY: H. M. D. Parker, The Roman Legions (1928). (From The New Unger's Bible Dictionary. Originally published by Moody Press of Chicago, Illinois. Copyright (c) 1988.) Bless you, Love Fountain Ps 119:76-77 76 Let, I pray thee, thy merciful kindness be for my comfort, according to thy word unto thy servant. 77 Let thy tender mercies come unto me, that I may live: for thy law is my delight.

16 | Why did God become a Man? | NT general Archive 1 | Love Fountain | 26953 | ||
Dear capemay, Another reason God became a man is in Hebrews 2:14,15. NIV Heb 2:14 Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might destroy him who holds the power of death-that is, the devil- Heb 2:15 -and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death.

17 | Serenetime: Did you know . . . | NT general Archive 1 | Love Fountain | 29801 | ||
Dear Kalos, Hope all is well with you! Between the holidays, a head cold and a new job, I have not been able to spend as much time on the internet lately and have chosen to study away from the web. Anyways, today I have found some time. You have spent a great amount of energy in this thread regarding Judas went to hell?. Also, it is clear you think Judas to be the son of perdition, based on John 17:12. Perdition means to perish eternally, the permanent death. The fact still remains Scripture does not say in plain words,"Judas went to hell". Why does Judas need to be in hell? This thread has made me remember a carnival we had at my grade school. There was a big jar full of MandM's and we had to guess how many MandM's were in the jar. Who ever guessed right won the jar of candy. I have a challenge for everyone who believes Judas is the son of perdition(sentenced to perish eternally). Lets put an MandM in a empty jar for everyone in the Bible that is judged to eternal damnation and after we are done searching from cover to cover, I am sure there will only be one MandM in the jar, satan's, because the Bible does not say Judas is judged. Judas did betray Jesus, but he also had a change of heart and repented. Why do people still want him to be the son of perdition(to eternally perish)? Who are we to judge whether Judas' apology was sincere enough for God? As Serenetime stated elsewhere in this thread, Peter denied thrice and the other disciples forsake Jesus in the garden. Where were Peter and the other disciples when Jesus was on the cross? If God could forgive Saul, the worst Christian Family killer of all, please explain why Judas is not also forgiven. Saul, by his own words was a Pharisee and a scholar of the law, does it not seem apparent that Saul was a big part in the judgement of death towards Jesus? When Paul says he is the least of the apostles, he is not kidding, he was a real bad guy, yet he is like a superhero. Judas merely did what Jesus told him to do and he fulfilled his role of betrayal, but I believe man has made a great mistake to judge Judas to hell as the son of perdition which I will work to show in my posting to Serenetime on this thread. I get a feeling that many scholars today, feel that we know all there is to know in Scripture, that there are no more mysteries to be revealed, man has understood all there is to know and now we are just waiting. When I read the Bible, every single time I pick it up I learn something new. If I wasn't learning anything new then I would suspect that I had stumbled. If I ever stumble, I pray God corrects me and I am not foolish enough not to listen. Anyway, it appears you are saying that Serenetime is misinterpreting something or contradicting Scripture. What it is, I am not sure. If it is that Judas is in hell, as you seem to believe, then you need to show Scripture clearly and plainly stating," Judas is in, or went to hell", which has not been done. I have to be honest, I have a sick feeling in my stomach thinking of condemning someones soul to eternal damnation based on any mans face value understanding of Gods Word. Bless you, Love Fountain I have always been fascinated by the fact that the eleven out of twelve disciples were Galileans(Midianites) and only Judas was of the tribe of Judah. Why do you think this was? |

18 | Where is the phrase defined? | NT general Archive 1 | Love Fountain | 38708 | ||
Dear Tim, John 17:12 12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled. KJV In the above verse the son of perdition is lost. The Greek word for lost in this verse is NT:622 apollumi (ap-ol'-loo-mee); from NT:575 and the base of NT:3639; to destroy fully (reflexively, to perish, or lose), literally or figuratively: from, NT:575 apo (apo'); a primary particle; "off," i.e. away (from something near), in various senses (of place, time, or relation; literal or figurative): and from the base of, NT:3639 olethros (ol'-eth-ros); from a primary ollumi (to destroy; a prolonged form); ruin, i.e. death, punishment: The Greek word for perdition in John 17:12 is NT:684 apoleia (ap-o'-li-a); from a presumed derivative of NT:622; ruin or loss (physical, spiritual or eternal): Bless you, Love Fountain |

19 | As the deer pants and deep calls to deep | Gen 1:1 | Love Fountain | 36374 | ||
Dear Shiner, You say," I have a deep longing and yearning to have more heart knowledge of God.." God wants you to know Him and He has generously written a letter to you to tell you about Himself and to tell you about yourself. In the Bible we are told everything we need to know about God, how to find Him and how He wants us to live. He is so generous that He allows us to have freewill to choose to get to know Him or not, your choice. He does say though that if you don't understand the parable of the sower in the book of Mark chapter 4, then you won't understand ANY parables. Mark chapter 4 should also be read with Matt 13, they go together in many ways as you will see if you read and have a sincere heart and want to understand what the Father has for you. Mark 4:13-20 13 And he said unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how then will ye know all parables? 14 The sower soweth the word. 15 And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts. 16 And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness; 17 And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word's sake, immediately they are offended. 18 And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word, 19 And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful. 20 And these are they which are sown on good ground; such as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some an hundred. KJV Please forgive me, I don't understand the "deer pants" and am not too bright, but I hope this helps.

20 | Would this be three men and God | Gen 1:27 | Love Fountain | 36411 | ||
Dear Leftwich, I believe Emmaus is saying that God is one of the three according to Gen 18:2,3 as follows, Gen 18:2-3 2 And he lift up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three men stood by him: and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself toward the ground, 3 And said, My Lord, if now I have found favour in thy sight, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant: KJV Abraham in verse 3 of Gen 18 calls one of the men My Lord and Emmaus is saying that there are 2 angels and God and that some people believe that these verses with a total of three persons is symbolic of the trinity. Bless you, Love Fountain |
