Subject: What does "because of the angels" mean ? |
Bible Note: Greetings and welcome to the Forum! Thank you for your response - you keep me thinking! Although I don't follow how believers are denied earthly intervention I appreciated this reference: "And I say to you, everyone who confesses Me before men, the Son of Man will confess him also before the angels of God;" Luke 12:8 It is interesting to consider that the "symbol of authority" may refer to a "confession of faith" - which leads me to 1 John 5:1-13. To whom does God tesitfy? Is the answer "the angels?" Blessings, mommapbs PS: Please let us get to know you a little more by completing your User Info. (Look under "Resources")Thanks! |
