Let's Have Church!!!

[TATII]

Where did the creator put the angels?

Likely in the heavens in the reality for which He created them...I think we all realize that they are able to operate in the earth from there...or at least some of them can?

I look at it this way fyi...God being "eternal" existed prior to establishing His "creation"...creation exists in and flows out of God. Creation can be summed up as..."In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth"...including "all" that is within them...technically that is all there is to creation...which by definition of having a "beginning" from out of the person of God Himself...will experience it's ending......is not eternal...only the Spirit of God is eternal.

That is the invisible church consisting of all believers of all time. If one is considering the brick and mortar church that is a different story. It contains both believers and unbelievers. One must be specific about what they are speaking of. When @makesends says "Let's have church" in the forum (and I will go out on a limb here and speak my understanding of what he means) it speaks to having discussion on the board subject which is "Doctrine of God", among fellow Christians. Not church or the condition of much of the church. Those topics would belong in a different board with their own threads.

Ok if I am "off topic" here...forgive me please?

Maybe it would be good to take a long hard look at the necessarily speculative nature of the mere creature's statements concerning the infinite Creator of all things.

Greetings @Arial ...

I am interpreting this…perhaps incorrectly…as a suggestion that we “intently prosecute” the creature’s [man] “conjecture and hypothesis” and the subsequent “outcomes, ideas and opinions” in regards to the infinite and eternal God?

Perhaps someone could help me here…my question…is the author “makesends” establishing this as the discussion piece…of a “doctrine of God” called “Let’s Have Church!!!”?

If so…I am ignorant of that “doctrine of God” hence my “miss-interpretation and confusion.”

Tatwo…

Nothing to forgive. It is easy to go off topic in all threads. I am just trying to avoid that here. I meant no offense. Perhaps you could begin a thread on a different board, on some or one or two, to help keep it focused, in ways in which the post modern church has deviated from her biblical roots. That too would be a great and very important investigative topic.

I attempted to engage in this discussion but it seems the moderator does not like my contribution and has deleted my post.

I would think that any doctrine of God might include the idea of whether or not God Himself has a location.
But apparently the moderator doesn’t think so.

That is not at all what you presented in your post. And one thing that will not be allowed in the subject of the Doctrine of God is a false doctrine of God. It is a discussion on the biblical doctrine of God, not speculations. The doctrine of God is found in his own self revelation within the Scripture. Also simply trolling or troll like behavior will not be permitted.

One of the first questions about God would be whether He exists or not. Since we all agree He does, we can skip that, I would think.

But another question might be whether God has a location or not. Some who call themselves Christian say no whiles others say yes.



I’m quite certain I could show God does have a location. And I'm quite sure you could not show He does not.

If I’m not allowed to discuss here, let me know.

The Doctrine of God deals with who God is.

Are you speaking of the God in heaven?

@makesends
In answer to the question of whether God is in heaven, the RCC answers “God is heaven”

So there you have it.

For the RCC, heaven is not a place, it’s three persons.

DO NOT CHANGE THE SUBJECT OF THE OP or the board it is in. "Doctrine of God." This is a very important subject and the board was opened for it. Not for it to go willy nilly into unrelated subjects.
Thank you.

The question presented to me was...why did He create the heavens and the earth...them put "man" in it?

I simply asked a follow up question as to where did God put the angels.

Thanks for th reply.

One more remark like that and you will be dismissed as a troll. There is only one God and this is a Christian forum.

Good question...subject to opinion...here's a few of mine...and technically...to "suffice His good pleasure" could probably be listed as a need.

He is steeped in Fatherly attributes...right? So that means He needed and has "sons" (M/F) this is includes Yahshua...additionally since He has many sons...as a Father...it is very likely that He needed a Family.

The eternal God and Father of our lord Yahshua Christ...is love...so I would suggest that it is pleasing to Him that He can actually love us and that we can Love Him back. In Genesis 1 He states that He would like a "man in His Image and Likeness"...which He has in Christ...Head and Body...including some of us.

The entire purpose for the first 5 days of creation as I am convinced...was to abundantly support His desire for what He did on the 6th day.

God "wants" to be experienced by humanity as a Man in my opinion...that need is fulfilled today by His Body.

Tatwo...

I would offer.

To suffice his "let there be" good pleasure .

It is a labor of the love Christ working in us to both (THE GOSPEL KEY) .To hear or understand the will and empower dying mankind do do it to his good pleasure .

The fathers attributes are immutable. They worked in the Son of man Jesus to both . . . will and empower to perform to the fathers good pleasure

All truth is God's truth .

Philipians2 13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.

Yahushua is not ashamed to call other sons of God brothers sisters in the lord

Not a earthly dying flesh and blood family.

A family that calls not man on earth Holy Father.
