Now, how did that angel get a hold of those prayers before God did? And, why is HE offering them up for someone else in the first place? Who are those saints? Paul, I think, refers to people here as saints. How come their prayers did not get straight to Jesus?
Because to know God is to be like God and Union is formed through likeness. Knowledge is a union of likeness.
We will see Him as He is because we will be like Him.
- Our Intellect is in our Soul or body? If it is in our Soul, then does it live on after we are dead in the body? If the intellect lives on (so we can understand in the afterlife), then is the following true:
You apparently don’t understand the soul. If it can’t be described physically and it’s a reality it is of the soul and a proof that it exists. Your line of thinking would take your argument right down a path of proving the soul doesn’t exist
- Does “KNOW FULLY” mean what it says or not?To know fully is to be ‘like’ fully.
The soul is formed by the acts of the body.
- Who are in this cloud “OVER OUR HEAD”? Witnesses to what?
they witness their deeds for their deeds follow them and in them they rest. Their deeds make up for what lacks as Paul said of his own suffering. It is a libation.
- Why is this writer telling angels what to do? If they cannot hear him? Or can they hear him? What if 1 million Christians recited this verse at about the same time. Would the angels hear all at the same time, or is the whole verse a farce?
If this writer can talk to the angels, can I do the same, by reciting this verse? Or can I make up my own say, to Michael the Archangel?
your projecting the limitations imposed on an earthly existence onto the existence of angels which is spiritual
- Is Jesus practicing Necromancy? If not why not? Looks a lot like conjuring up “DEAD”, at least for Moses.
Blessed are the dead, who die in the Lord. From henceforth now, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; for their works follow them.
When yur done with these, I have just few more before I join you in your non-religion religion.
