Bible Question: (See also Jude 1:6)Focusing on God's forgiveness. What prompts God's forgiveness of man and why is this not extended to the angelic order? Please support your answers with Scripture. |
Bible Answer: 1 Corinthians 15:21 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. The only answer I can think of at the time, is that man can be forgiven only because of Jesus becoming Flesh and dying for man. Since this is the only thing that allows man to be forgiven, it leaves out the redemption of fallen angels since there is no evidence of God's plan being to send an angel to die for angels, howbeit some might take up such an argument, that the Angel of the Lord Paul says is Christ therefore is there not sufficiency in the death of christ for angels as well, or does not the creator's sacrifice suffice for all creation. I do not know. Good question. |
