JobityJob Job. Job.
Job 4:18 "If God places no trust in his servants, if he charges his angels with error..." This wording threw me for a loop. I had to go read commentaries. Plural. Haha. Meaning many. And of course now I realise the obvious example of the fall of Lucifer and his followers. But I didn't automatically take it that way. But it does still work, in my mind, for the non-fallen angels. They are created beings. Thus. They do have the ability to commit sin. However. They have the ability to not sin as well. Which we don't. But. It magnifies God's grace to me. I mean they also have no concept of salvation. Not can they receive it once they've fallen. They see God in his full glory. If you sin after that...man. It's just nuts.

Hmm, that's very interesting. You should bring this up in class tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteAngels are confusing. It seems to me that only initially, angels could sin. Now, maybe that ability has ceased? If not, then how are they different from human beings, if their wills are the same as ours?
ReplyDeleteYou brought up a really interesting view on the angels that I had never thought of before, and I hope we talk about it tomorrow!!!
