Bible Question: Why is it dangerous to elevate the angels above their rightful place? |
Bible Answer: begbie, "Elevating angels above their rightful place" is vague but here are a few thoughts. 1. Your question defines it as wrong first of all. You yourself declare it as giving them a position not "rightful." 2. I can only assume you mean in some form that your culture is worshiping them. I suggest you read Romans 1:18 through the end of the chapter very carefully concerning the worship of something "created" rather than the "Creator." Second, read Hebrews chapter 1 concerning the superiority of Christ over the angels. And third read the repeated affirmations by angels themselves in scripture that they are not to be worshiped but God alone is to be worshiped. I'm not at my normal computer to use a search feature but there are numerous examples in scripture. One of them is in the book of revelations. 3. Short answer. Its idolatry. God alone is to be worshiped. In Christ, Beja |
