The beings spoken of in the Bible are real. They have appeared and spoken directly to humans (Genesis 3:9-10; 4:9; 16:9). The Bible records the existence of many millions of angelic beings (Revelation 5:11) who are "ministering spirits" to mankind in fulfillment of God's purpose (Hebrews 1:13-14).

hehehe... come on now. the beings spoken of in the Bible are real? who told you that, the Bible? well, when i was a child, my mom said snow white and the seven dwarfs were real.

God has plans for us.

Jeremiah 29:11-12

11 For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. 12 Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you.

But it is up to us to remain in God for His plan to be fulfilled....

John 15:7
7If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be given you.

It is us people who makes our life difficult. We have hands designed to work, just as we have feet designed to walk, but we decide to become lazy and that's what makes life difficult. We ride cars instead of walking or riding a horse or riding a bike.. This result to gas emission and global warming. So we make our own life difficult by being lazy and irresponsible. But, to those who are working hard and loving life, life is easy. Especially if you appreciate everything.

Life is difficult without contentment or satisfaction...

God is our true satisfaction...
Psalm 17:15
15 And I—in righteousness I will see your face;
when I awake, I will be satisfied with seeing your likeness.

Seek God first...
Matthew 6:33

33But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.

God has an eternal plan (Eph. 3:11). This plan is the mystery of His will (1:9). It is something unknown to man. God’s eternal will is that all things in the heavens and on earth be headed up in Christ (v. 10). In other words, Christ is to be the Head over all things. When this happens, everything in the universe will express the Lord. This is God’s eternal will.

The historical accuracy of the Scriptures is likewise in a class by itself, far superior to the written records of Egypt, Assyria, and other early nations. Archeological confirmations of the Biblical record have been almost innumerable in the last century. Dr. Nelson Glueck, probably the greatest modern authority on Israeli archeology, has said:

"No archeological discovery has ever controverted a Biblical reference. Scores of archeological findings have been made which confirm in clear outline or in exact detail historical statements in the Bible. And, by the same token, proper evaluation of Biblical descriptions has often led to amazing discoveries."

Quote: Originally Posted by Soul Doctor Its our nature to survive as human. Its always harder to live than to die. But we live because we of our hope. We live and work hard hoping life would be easier if we do so. We study and go to college hoping that when we graduate we get a better paying job. Some people think that the world is not unfair. It may be partly true. This is because you limit your views of the world and the universe. And because you limit your understanding to just a single lifetime. The universe is fair. You always get what you deserve. In this life or in the next life (or lives).

Death is the result of sin. “For the wages of sin is death,” Romans 6:23a. The whole world is subject to death, because all have sinned. “By one man sin entered the world, and death by sin, and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned” (Romans 5:12). In Genesis 2:17, the Lord warned Adam that the penalty for disobedience would be death—“you will surely die.” When Adam disobeyed, he experienced immediate spiritual death, which caused him to hide “from Lord God among the trees of the garden” (Genesis 3:. Later, Adam experienced physical death (Genesis 5:5).

On the cross, Jesus also experienced physical death (Matthew 27:50). The difference is that Adam died because he was a sinner, and Jesus, who had never sinned, chose to die as a substitute for sinners (Hebrews 2:9). Jesus then showed His power over death and sin by rising from the dead on the third day (Matthew 28; Revelation 1:1. Because of Christ, death is a defeated foe. “O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?” (1 Corinthians 15:55; Hosea 13:14).

For the unsaved, death brings to an end the chance to accept God’s gracious offer of salvation. “It is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment” (Hebrews 9:27). For the saved, death ushers us into the presence of Christ: “To be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord” (2 Corinthians 5:8; Philippians 1:23). So real is the promise of the believer’s resurrection that the physical death of a Christian is called “sleep” (1 Corinthians 15:51; 1 Thessalonians 5:10). We look forward to that time when “there shall be no more death” (Revelation 21:4).

We have dominion over all other creatures which means we are higher....

Ge 1:26
And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

hehehe... seriously, so you are trying to tell us that the voice and the angel documented in Genesis were REAL beings?

It is difficult for man to tame the tongue...

James 3:8
But no man can tame the tongue. It is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.

but
bearing false witness against someone is considered a deadly weapon...

Proverbs 25:18

18 A man who bears false witness against his neighbor
Is like a club, a sword, and a sharp arrow.

Romans 3:13-14 says, "Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips: Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness."

How to Have Victory Over Sins of the Tongue

1. Grow daily in conformity with the Lord Jesus Christ

2. Ask God the Father for provision and protection in this area.

3. Confess this sin each time you are convicted of it.

4. Learn to recognize all of the verbal sins -- some are obvious, some are subtle.

5. Keep silent during discussion of a bad situation.

6. Keep silent during discussion of another person.

7. Keep silent.

Yes..... I have the Bible as my proof which is certified true and accurate by historians, archaelogists, and scientists...

What is your proof and RESOURCES to substantiate that??

That is, if you have any....

Same way, Jesus can not pay for the sins of man. All Jesus could do by dying in the cross is change the way these people think. There is no such thing as a sin. Wrong decision is the better word. Each soul is responsible individually for their own mistakes or wrong decision. Its punishment or consequence is limited to that same soul but extends to the next life if necessary.

Hebrews 9:27 states, “Just as man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgment…” This Bible verse makes clear two important points which, for Christians, negate the possibility of reincarnation and karma. First, it states that we are “destined to die once,” meaning that humans are only born once and only die once. There is no endless cycle of life and death and rebirth, an idea inherent in the reincarnation theory. Second, it states that after death we face judgment, meaning that there is no second chance, like there is in reincarnation and karma, to live a better life. You get one shot at life and living it according to God’s plan, and that is it.

i don't have proofs and resources to say that those beings exist, for if i have, then i would be believing in their existence. you, on the other hand, only have the BIBLE as a proof. how quick you are to conclude that just because the Bible said they exist, that you also automatically say they exist.

have you seen them?

Because I'm the kind person who thinks and believes in facts presented by history and science...

The bible has answers...

Angels are essentially “ministering spirits,” (Hebrews 1:14) and do not have physical bodies like humans. Jesus declared that “a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have” (Luke 24:37-39).

Angels can take on the appearance of men when the occasion demands. How else could some “entertain angels unaware” (Hebrews 13:2)? On the other hand, their appearance is sometimes in dazzling white and blazing glory (Matthew 28:2-4).

This is not a bible thread bro.
Stop doing that here.
Ask your questions if you have one.
No debate allowed here.

My personal advice to you:
Drop the bible bro.
It will just confuse you.

I've grown up reading the bible.
My great grandfather got rich because of the bible.
He founded his own church which produced spin-offs like Ang Dating Daan by Ely Soriano.
Nothing good in reading and quoting the bible.
You just need to learn and understand the lessons and the principles--not the verses.
