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: Lets look at this question again ,it should be in two parts. 1. Why arent these angels capable of being forgiven, 2. Why isnt the other group of angels that rebelled with satain with them in hell. The Bible tells us that we shall be judgeing angels but which group. Since the only sin that cannot be forgiven is the blasphem of the holy Ghost this is probably one of the sins that they comitted. Since they faught against the Trinity for controll of heavan. i also want to interject athought that when a man dies his soul leaves the body, In 1Kings 17 ;20thru22 we read, And He cried unto the lord and said, o lord my God;..... I pray thee let this childs soul come unto him again;...and the soul of the child came unto him again and he revived. Now this child had died, and he had a soul. Dont you suspect that angels that were created beings do not have a soul, so then they follow different rules than the man who became a liveing soul? I dont care much for speculation but the Bible never tells us what sin these first set of angels comitted.In Gen. 1;28 as well as other scriptures we find out that God had destroyed the earth before Noah, so what went on between Him and these angels never comes up,for here in Gen. he tells them to "replentish" the earth. This might give you a little more to think about. |
