Now what would the average reasonable person assume I was referring to. Where would a server utter these words to the ones being served. “ May I take your orders “ This in response to, “Serving does not imply taking orders from the one served” Serving does imply taking orders from the...

You aren’t following scripture. Scripture says that God sent forth the angels to serve those who will inherit eternal life. It’s not scripture you follow here. It’s protestantism’s persistent problem with authority figures shining through. Catholics have the plain scriptural understanding...

It’s probably just as well.

I did didn’t I. I’m glad we cleared this up. You’ve been watching too much Matlock recently, haven’t you.

The waiter’s analogy was not perfectly analogous, we all know angels aren’t waiters. I use waiter example rhetorically and you know this.

They serve us, and all that implies, even though they may not use the exact term “ may I take your orders “, they take our orders.

Which is analogous of my example of the waiters. His reply was general not specific. “Serving does not imply taking orders from the one served” I never said that angels will address this way. I think you guys are taking legalism to new heights, and it’s not in good faith.

Anthony was saying they only serve God not us. But scripture says “ sent forth to serve those who will inherit eternal life “ I’ll stick with the scripture, it’s a clear cut case that lines up with my experience and understanding.

Neither can I. But that’s irrelevant, the word “Trinity” can’t be found in scripture but we have scriptural reasons enough to believe it. You are arguing from absence, which is no argument at all. We have the scripture which states clearly that they are “ sent forth to serve those who will...

Funny man. Much of scripture has metaphors and mystical language. Much of what happens in the spiritual is by impression. The attempts to explain the spiritual leads to “mystical language”. Metaphors are used to translate the sublime spiritual things into temporal terms that people can relate...

Yes it does. “ May I take or orders “ is the first thing they say. Your legalistic quibblage is a fascinating study in the denial of reality, and the lengths a desperate man will take. I bet you could gnaw your leg off to get out of a trap. Be a good fellow and just cheerfully admit defeat, no...

I am simply trying to win understanding for you, I have no ego to injure here. I did cite scripture directly and at pains explained it so that even a child could understand. Thus it only appears like condescension. But you have brought me to this. It’s better to lose the argument but win...

We all serve anyway. Most of street ministry is bringing Jesus to others, getting rid of self by prayer and fasting. Asking Jesus to live and reign in us, to walk in our walking and do in our doing, to do as He wants through us. We are the donkey carrying Jesus to others, and Jesus does the...
