Understanding Angels! A Bible Perspective to the Reality of Angels! Part 1 « The Agapegeek Blog (Ver 1.0) People generally do not believe in things that they have never seen or that they have any proof that they exist. However, the Bible says a lot about these spiritual beings we call angels and it informs us that they definitely are real and that they exist. The rest of this lesson will cover things found in the Bible about angels that you should know. Who are they, what are they, where did they come from, when did they come into existence, what is their purpose and whatever else I can find to discuss about them. I personally know people who claim to have seen angels and their descriptions of these creatures are not like the fat little baby angels you see in many books. Gen 16:7 And the angel of the LORD found her by a fountain of water in the wilderness, by the fountain in the way to Shur. The Hebrew word translated as “angel” is used 213 times in the O.T. so that is a lot of scriptures to read and learn from. So this is a very hard saying indeed. Where are the angels you ask?

Well, when God made the world it was perfect in every way. And then Adam came along and ate the fruit God told him not to eat. Bad idea! God try to warn Adam. And that's exactly what Adam did. Well, he didn’t drop over dead right there! And we all sin. We all do what we want to do instead of what God wants us to do. And that’s what Jesus came to save us from! God loves us so much, He sent His Son to make things right again. And the price was very high. But Jesus died FOR us. That's not the end of the story! Three days later, Jesus rose from the dead! Jesus defeated death! If we believe in Jesus, and we believe that he died for our sins, God will raise us from dead just like Jesus rose from the dead! And now God can adopt us as His children. That is the Good News! Now, since we ARE God’s children, we should live like God’s children. But we all know, it's not always easy... We are in a battle! And Satan is sneaky. Guard your heart. Be bold!
www.air1.com Why "Do You Take the Bible Literally?" Is the Wrong Question | Brian Kiley “Do you take the Bible literally?” That question really bothers me. It gets asked and answered in coffee shops, television networks, and TED Talks, but it is a meaningless question. It’s so wooden. In fact, much like a cast and crutches are signs of a broken leg, a person who asks or answers that question is showing that they do not understand what the Bible is. The Bible is a collection of historical narrative and poetry, of metaphor and prose, of songs and teaching. It is silly to suggest we should take it all literally. When Jesus says to the Pharisees, “You strain out a gnat but swallow a camel,” (Matthew 23:24) he is, of course, not suggesting that the Pharisees literally swallow camels. These are obvious metaphors, and there are dozens (if not hundreds) of them to be found in Scripture. One key to understanding the Bible is knowing what to take literally and what to take metaphorically. Historical narratives should be taken literally. But here’s the thing: And that’s the real issue.
