Do all Arch Angels have the same powers?!

[Bill]

Well if you are referring to me. I like Milk, and beans more than i like meat. for meat would be the last thing i might put of my plate! My parents would tell it was not hard feeding their two boys growing up, when they would ask us what we wanted to eat, Beans!!! Pinto, Red Beans, Lima beans, Navy beans, Northern Beans, Black eye peas, Kidney beans, 7 days a week, 365.24 days a year. My mother would cook a "Roast", she would have to whip us to eat that meat. We wanted Beans and Corn Bread! And I still cook them. and drink t that Milk! We drunk Milk like water! I got hit by a car three times knock out teeth tore flesh up, played football, Full contact Karate, Judo and Jujitsu, never broke a bone! Strong as a bull, Sired 6 kids, 3 boys, 3 girls, strong strapping boys. LOL.
And when i read this in the Bible, I believe it!

English Standard Version
Like newborn infants, long for the pure spiritual milk, that by it you may grow up into salvation—
Berean Study Bible
Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation,

Have you every watch a baby suck on milk! that Baby be so happy, his legs start pumping! LOL

In my "spiritual growth" I left the Meat for y'all! Meaning it was more Milk for Me!

And when the time came, GOD, by Jesus put the meat in my mouth! I had no choice but to eat, when my time had come.

Yes, i was warning you to be careful. Pride is sneeky, sneeky.

Dont set yourself on a totem pole, but raise that lantern , that is Jesus within for all to see

Getting back to the Question. Do Arch Angels have the same powers.

From all i have experienced with Angels. There are different Choirs, as they are called. There are 9 choirs i know of. The first 2 being Guardians, those i work with in spiritual warfare are called Powers, Dominian and Cherubim. There are Arch Angels in every choir.

As far as having different power. I would think of it as having different authority.

The strongest angels are the Seraphim and they are constantly in God's presence.

Feel free to ask questions, and i will answer as best as i can

If you want engagements for this topic, There are a few "Pseudographical Books" that falls into the Non-Canonical books arena, Concerning Angels, Their Names, their positions, and character. I read about them decades and decades ago, early 80's ancient books that did not qualify for entrance into the "Canon of Scripture". But those Ancient Books are a good read. And they refer back to events that took place about Angels in the "Canon of Scripture" that makes a lot of sense. But the books are Non-Canonical. Just like "The Book of Enoch". along with others, which are questionable as well.

[When you are young in the Faith, you wanted always to find new stuff, others have not found in the faith]. Then you find this is True:

(Ecclesiastes 1) BSB
8All things are wearisome,
more than one can describe;
the eye is not satisfied with seeing,
nor the ear content with hearing.

9What has been will be again,
and what has been done will be done again;
there is nothing new under the sun.

10Is there a case where one can say,
“Look, this is new”?
It has already existed
in the ages before us.

11There is no remembrance
of those who came before,
and those yet to come will not be remembered
by those who follow after.

 

[PloughBoy]

You are being silly now. Lol .

Maybe the Lord will let us walk in eachothers shoes for a while. Then i will get the head knowledge and you will experience the spiritual that can not be explained.

Let us remember, before jumping to conclusions. Not all that Jesus did or said was written down in scripture.

Our walks are different, but come to the same place in the end. Praise Jesus always

True, every stone is different, and every brick is place in it's proper order, and fitly join together.

shalom

and if they see Jesus in me they will hate me, just like they all hated Him, and that is a "promise" and a declaration from GOD! People love Christians but they hate the "Children of GOD"!

There is a huge difference between edifying yourself and set yourself on top of the pedestal versus lifting Jesus up and letting everyone See the Light of Christ.

Good grief!! Why do interesting topics always degenerate into slanging matches between the same bunch of well known posters?????
So much for sharing stuff about the powers of angels
Did anybody bother to research Fatima 1917 and learn of just how powerful and miraculous the opposition are?
And why did Mary (?) tell the girl that Russia needed to be converted to Roman Catholicism otherwise the holy Father and the church would be destroyed???
Right now for the first time in modern history neither the U.S.A. or Russia have ambassadors to each other.
Anybody bother to listen to Putin's address to the nation the other night? He spoke of Russia's red lines that he would not allow the West/NATO to cross.
The enemy already knew this back in 1917 - think about that for a moment.

 

[Downunder]

What does the Bible really tell us about the heavenly host?
Everyone knows that angels have wings, usually carry harps, and that each of us has our own personal guardian angel, right?
We all have some preconceptions about angels from movies, television shows, and other media, but you might be surprised to know that a lot of those notions aren't based on anything from the Bible.
If you read Luke 1:26-38 and imagine the angel Gabriel standing before Mary with neatly folded white wings, you're not getting that picture from anything the Bible itself says.
What the Bible really says about angels is overlooked or filtered through popular myths.
This book was written to help change that. It's a book about the loyal members of God's heavenly host, and while most people associate them with the word "angel," that's just one of many terms
the Bible uses for supernatural beings.

I'm sorry I did try to bring it back on point a few messages back.

I have this click of people that follow me around like a lost puppy or something or at least it seems that way to me. The whole business of following someone I just can't get into it. I usually say what's on my mind about the subject on hand.

Can I ask you a question in regards to Catholicism why do you hate it so much ?

When we look at the things that separate Catholicism from the Protestant churches there's not a whole lot there it's primarily just politics in my opinion. And when I say politics it's just the little things for instance there's some Baptist churches that don't believe in dancing. And there's other churches that have other things that are just a silly in my personal opinion.

The Catholics have a strong view of Mary referring her is the Queen of Heaven. There are biblical references for Mary in regards to how we should respect her highly. And it's something that most Protestant churches do not do. So back to politics and I call it politics cuz that's about all it really is. The politics of Mary how the Catholics view her versus how the Protestants viewer it's not going to stop a person from being saved.

And there's a whole slew of other things if you want to get into it I could try to explain it to you but the thing is is that your pre disposition to a negative event on the Catholicism versus having an open mind to hearing the truth.

This also is the same problem Catholics have concerning Protestants that they have are pre prejudiced View and it's really creates a blockade in both directions 2 understanding God in both groups

Many christians have no idea who or what "Jesus Christ" is. But they know how to use common words, But have no Idea who "The Word of GOD" is. but they speak a whole lot of nonsense trying to replace Godly Words into worldly terms, The Language of GOD that is impossible for worldly human being to understand, because they have not the ability to do so, but yet they try so hard to engage. Which is a fruit of such creature that they cannot resist. For the Word of GOD is nothing but a ornament place between two covers and nothing more, for neither do they believe it or cherish it. But they endure so hard to defend their words of what GOD is, rather than the Truth that has been place within the Pages of the" Original Copied Manuscript" from which some Bible Translations are Translated from.
And in most scenes, they are only imposters who have heard "voices" blowing in the wind. And those voices has become their god. and they let you know it! Like you are supposed believe that! Voices in the wind! Who do they think the are, like you are suppose to believe them! If only they knew the Meaning of "Original Sin", they would never even try putting that into the air. LOL! If you heard it, you better keep it to yourself, because if the Authorities, hear you talking like that, they are going to Lock you up! And when they do, your church is going to "Excommunicate" you! and tell you to go get "Counseling", before you come back here.

How about those "Grapes" and untimely "Figs" falling in the mouth of The eater. "Grapes and Figs"

(Isaiah 29)BSB
"Therefore the Lord said: “These people draw near to Me with their mouths and honor Me with their lips, but their hearts are far from Me. Their worship of Me is but rules taught by men. Therefore I will again confound these people with wonder upon wonder. The wisdom of the wise will vanish, and the intelligence of the intelligent will be hidden.” Woe to those who dig deep to hide their plans from the LORD. In darkness they do their works and say, “Who sees us, and who will know?”…

I like engaging with you, it is "very Stimulating" would not you agree! You bring the best out of me. Do i stir you up too?

Can I ask you a question in regards to Catholicism why do you hate it so much ?

I can tell you from being a catholic most of my life, that they teach the priest has the power to forgive us of our sins,, and I was cought up in bondage of sin and thinking I was forgiven because I confessed to a priest,,,,,,,,not until I left the catholic church and truly repented did I receive true freedom from the bondage of sin,,,,,,, I was not born again until I left the catholic church,,,,,,,,,, as a child I would go in always wonder why they had the Lord hanging on a cross,, it was morbid,,,,,,,Jesus is not dead he is alive....... I know many loving catholics but they are being decieved,,,,,, not to long ago I was at a catholic funeral and the priest went on and on about the the dead saints and Mary being or inteidiatary between us and God,,,,, well Jesus died for us to be are one and only go between ,,,,,,,,,, I dont hate the catholic they are decieved,,,,

Sorry it is now 8.32 AM Sunday here in the land of Oz and I need to have some brekkie and a shower (and organise my autistic son) to go to our morning church communion service, so I will respond
in greater detail later in the day.
But in the meantime take a look at what I posted way back on some of the "false" miracles that the Catholics and Orthodox churches experience, and ask yourself, why these sort of miracles??
And research Fatima 1917 - for it will blow your socks off.
We are in opposition to a very very powerful enemy and that is why to be a competent Christian one must have the full armour of God which includes the indwelling Holy Spirit and praying in tongues.

Honestly, PloughBoy, there are too many errors in your words.

I want you to know, i really like you. And really do look forward to the day we are in heaven.

But you will not like what im about to say. You remind me of Paul the Apostle, before he was Paul.

Just like Saul, you have learned a lot over the years, except the one thing that will bring it all together. You are not filled with the Holy Spirit.

Now, i know that you did go and have hands laid on you, but for whatever reason, you never recieved the Baptism.

You really need to be Baptized in the Holy Spirit. Only then will you really blossem.

You should have known me before march 1977, you would have hated with a full passion, back then i would go upside your head! And lot more i would do, in which it is not lawful to talk of such things on this channel! And the women would drop at my feet. Both old and young! the church women, and the pagans.
I knew i was a sinners, and proud of it. i was messed up and didn't know it. like Apostle Paul, I was Chief of all sinners! And I loved them women, and they love me! I used to have to hide from them, They was fine! and I would make them smile. And I had a good Job. Nice Muscle car, Motorcycle, and Horses! I was smooth, they would say. You are smooth, and I could Ballroom dance. Own my own Tux. I was a "Sinner' and enjoyed it.
But until I heard something calling my name, it seems it was in a far off land, like a distance drummer. Way off and i had a keen ear, And I notice I was changing, and begin to question myself, why am I doing these things, No one knew that i was changing but me on the inside, Women wonder why, I would not take them to bed, men notice i was not hanging out with them no more, I sold my Motorcycle, I was no church member, going to no one's church, I found myself Praying the 23 Psalms at work before my shift started.everyday when i got to work in the evening. Something was changing me. And finally it happen at work while i was smoking "Columbia GOLD" had the Joint in my Hand, And Told Jesus if give me something better than this, I will serve you! And BAM! I Saw Jesus on the Cross, Blood running down His face, and from His Forehead where the thorns was Piercing His brow,, the scars on His face, His eyes was tearing blood, and the sadness upon His face and He called me by name! And told me with HIS Arms STRETCH OUT, hands nailed to the cross right there on the Cross, Chris i died for you!

My Instructor look at me, Puzzle, i said, I fighting for Jesus now. Shook his hand and hug him, and said by, after 4-5 years of training ,smile and walked out!

You see I understand those who are "calvinist". I understand the 5 points of Calvinists. I was not taught it! I am a walking proof, I have not gave no body my hand, I did not chose Him, he chose me! I got the "Holy Ghost" when i didn't even know what the" Holy Ghost" was. And finally when I read the Bible, i had already heard those very words that is written in the, Bible before i read it in there. The main one , "come out from among them" that was that "distance voice I heard way off in a distance, In Calvinist Terminology it is called "Irresistible Grace"! "No man can come to the Son unless The Father Draws him" It blown me away when I found out it was a name for what i had already experience in my conversion journey, Words that made sense to me that I understood concerning my "pilgrimage". So in essence I have words that describes my salvation story, that makes sense to me, before the Foundations of the COSMOS, And I am not in search, neither am I, talking about what it takes to be saved,, or stuck in cycle of year after year, trying to justify "my church" and my own actions and efforts in contributing to the salvation of my soul.

PS. for many have already heard my other Testimony before this event that happen, When Angels have came to my aid, and comforted me in my distress! Laying in the street, dying, after been ran over by a "automobile" flesh torn from my body, rolled up like a scroll. my clothes strip form my body. Lying Naked in the street! I know how i got here today! And i do not have to prove my Salvation to Nobody! I do not have to prove to nobody what "Spirit" dwells in me!

Wife telling me, You are not the man i married, Just because i have change! and Jesus is The Christ, the Son of The Living GOD! If only she knew what kind of Sinner she married! But she Loved that Sinner, snap of the finger she would Jump! Nod of the head, she would drop to her knees.

"Humans love darkness rather than light" LOL

and concerning Blossoming, i am winding down, retired now. You should have seen me in my prime, i have to admit pride was flowing in my veins. I am old now, and the "Measure". "
(Paul said):
"Even if I wanted to boast, I would not be a fool, because I would be speaking the truth. But I refrain, so no one will credit me with more than he sees in me or hears from me, or because of these surpassingly great revelations. So to keep me from becoming conceited, I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me."
Job 2:6
"Very well," said the LORD to Satan. "He is in your hands, but you must spare his life."

Many Pastors and Ministers and early childhood friends has said to me, I would like to have what you have, But the things you have been threw to get there I don't want it. Some have said to me, if i went threw some of the stuff you went threw i would have blowed my head off. And others have said, we have watch you through the years, the things you have went through and come out, Have given us the strength to go through. a quote by one, if he went through, I can go through too. My Brother who is a Pastor, told my mother "Chris" can take anything! I been lied on, talked about, called everything but a child of GOD. and a lot more, Betrayed, by those i have help in secret, and they don't even know it. it was me working on their behave in the shadows. And they was helping the enemy who was working against them and me. on many occasions this have happen, And i have said not a word. No one has to tell me what a true "child of GOD' has to go through, Orchestrated by his Father. [ really, it is something, He brings you through} I gave out a long time ago. and died!

Shalom.

And when I say politics it's just the little things for instance there's some Baptist churches that don't believe in dancing. And there's other churches that have other things that are just a silly in my personal opinion.

I do not hate Roman Catholics - I was RCC from an infant until almost 42 years of age. Then I was witnessed to by a man who had the Holy Spirit and could pray in tongues. He opened up his old battered KJV
and read out scriptures to me about being born new again by water baptism and Holy Spirit baptism, about signs following believers, about miracles and healings, about overcoming sin, and much more.
I already knew as a Bible reader that there was an enormous gulf between the Word of God and what is RCC doctrine and faith; but at that time I did not know of any real alternatives.
When I received the indwelling Holy Spirit and prayed in tongues at that moment I received a wonderful revelation from God that the Bible is truth and all of it is of Jesus.
It is when one is enlightened and receives understanding of the scriptures through the Holy Spirit that a disciple can spiritually discern the falsehoods and shortcomings of worldly religions.

If Babylon of Mesopotamia was the source of false religion that obscured the knowledge of the true God worshipped by Adam and Seth, the patriarchs and then to Noah, then Rome is the equivalent today in the
New Testament period. For Rome is truly the civilization and political economy of the West.
Worse Rome is the Mother of Harlots and Mystery Babylon and from Rome all of her children have truncated gospel doctrines that fall short of the full gospel preached and believed upon by the apostles and disciples
of the first century that we can read of in the New Testament.

This thread is about the power of angels. And the miracles I posted for sharing are typical miracles that angels who have a vested interest in the Mother Church do so as to keep the faithful in these worldly churches.
On the other hand, when Pentecostal Christians lay hands on the sick and pray for miracles they are blessings that directly heal and set free people suffering from tribulations or dire circumstances.
Miracles in the Spirit-filled churches assist individuals to come good and rejoice, and to be exhorted in faith unto God - not Mary, not dead saints, not a papa in Constantinople or Rome.

Take a look at the miracles like the glowing Mary above the Coptic Church in Cairo - that does not address the specific needs of individual believers. No one is healed.
And you must check out Fatima 1917 - so powerful and overwhelming that a century later Fatima is still celebrated, and the faithful flock there in busloads to buy sacred relics.

How powerful are angels - very powerful indeed
The Miracle of the Sun (Portuguese: Milagre do Sol), also known as the Miracle of Fátima, is a series of events reported to have occurred miraculously on 13 October 1917, attended by a large crowd who had gathered in Fátima, Portugal,
in response to a prophecy made by three shepherd children, Lúcia Santos and Francisco and Jacinta Marto.
The prophecy was that the Virgin Mary (referred to as Our Lady of Fátima), would appear and perform miracles on that date. Newspapers published testimony from witnesses who said that they had seen extraordinary solar activity, such as the Sun appearing to "dance" or zig-zag in the sky, careen towards the Earth, or emit multicoloured light and radiant colours. According to these reports, the event lasted approximately ten minutes.

The Blessed Virgin Mary, the Mother of God, appeared six times to three shepherd children (“the Three Seers”) near the town of Fatima, Portugal between May 13th and October 13th 1917.
Appearing to the children, the Blessed Virgin told them that She had been sent by God with a message for every man, woman and child living in our century.
Coming at a time when civilization was torn asunder by war and bloody violence, She promised that Heaven would grant peace to all the world if Her requests for prayer, reparation and consecration were heard and obeyed.

Our Lady of Fatima explained to the children that war is a punishment for sin and warned that God would further castigate the world for its disobedience to His Will by means of war, hunger and the persecution of the Church,
the Holy Father and the Catholic Faithful.
God’s Mother prophesized that Russia would be God’s chosen “instrument of chastisement,” spreading the “errors” of atheism and materialism across the earth, fomenting wars, annihilating nations and persecuting the Faithful everywhere.

“If My requests are not granted, Russia will spread its errors throughout the world, raising up wars and persecutions against the Church. The good will be martyred, the Holy Father will suffer much
and various nations will be annihilated.”

In all Her appearances at Fatima, the Blessed Mother repeatedly emphasized the necessity of praying the Rosary daily, of wearing the Brown Scapular of Mount Carmel and of performing acts of reparation and sacrifice.
To prevent the terrible chastisement at the hands of Russia and to convert “that poor nation”, Our Lady requested the solemn public Consecration of Russia to Her Immaculate Heart by the Pope and all the Catholic bishops of the world.
She also asked that the Faithful practice a new devotion of reparation on the first Saturday of five consecutive months (“the Five First Saturdays”).

So in essence I have words that describes my salvation story, that makes sense to me, before the Foundations of the COSMOS, And I am not in search, neither am I, talking about what it takes to be saved,, or stuck in cycle of year after year, trying to justify "my church" and my own actions and efforts in contributing to the salvation of my soul.

PS. for many have already heard my other Testimony before this event that happen, When Angels have came to my aid, and comforted me in my distress! Laying in the street, dying, after been ran over by a "automobile" flesh torn from my body, rolled up like a scroll. my clothes strip form my body. Lying Naked in the street! I know how i got here today! And i do not have to prove my Salvation to Nobody! I do not have to prove to nobody what "Spirit" dwells in me!

Wife telling me, You are not the man i married, Just because i have change! and Jesus is The Christ, the Son of The Living GOD! If only she knew what kind of Sinner she married! But she Loved that Sinner, snap of the finger she would Jump! Nod of the head, she would drop to her knees.

"Humans love darkness rather than light" LOL

and concerning Blossoming, i am winding down, retired now. You should have seen me in my prime, i have to admit pride was flowing in my veins. I am old now, and the "Measure". "
(Paul said):
"Even if I wanted to boast, I would not be a fool, because I would be speaking the truth. But I refrain, so no one will credit me with more than he sees in me or hears from me, or because of these surpassingly great revelations. So to keep me from becoming conceited, I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me."
Job 2:6
"Very well," said the LORD to Satan. "He is in your hands, but you must spare his life."

Many Pastors and Ministers and early childhood friends has said to me, I would like to have what you have, But the things you have been threw to get there I don't want it. Some have said to me, if i went threw some of the stuff you went threw i would have blowed my head off. And others have said, we have watch you through the years, the things you have went through and come out, Have given us the strength to go through. a quote by one, if he went through, I can go through too. My Brother who is a Pastor, told my mother "Chris" can take anything! I been lied on, talked about, called everything but a child of GOD. and a lot more, Betrayed, by those i have help in secret, and they don't even know it. it was me working on their behave in the shadows. And they was helping the enemy who was working against them and me. on many occasions this have happen, And i have said not a word. No one has to tell me what a true "child of GOD' has to go through, Orchestrated by his Father. [ really, it is something, He brings you through} I gave out a long time ago. and died!

Shalom.

Well Saul,
You may be old, but still need the Baptizim. The more you speak the more you prove it.

Remember , after Saul was knocked off his horse, and heard Jesus speak to him. He still had not recieved the Baptism.

For three days he walked blind and was lead to another. The deciple of Christ , Ananias.

" Brother Saul I have been sent here by the Lord Jesus who appeared to you on your way here so that you may recover your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit"

Do you wonder why i can know , by your own words, whether the Spirit rests in you or not? It is because of this Scripture passage.

" If I have all the eloquence of men or of angels but speak without love, I am simply a Gong booming or symbol clanging. If I have the gift of Prophecy, understanding all the Mysteries there are and knowledge of everything. I if I have faith in all its fullness, to move mountains but without love then I Have Nothing at All. If I gave away all I possess piece by piece and if I even let them take my body and burn it but without love it will do me no good whatever.
Love is always patient and kind, it is never jealous. Love Is Never boastful or conceited. it is never rude or selfish it does not take offense and it is not resentful. Love Takes no pleasure in other people's sins but the delights in the truth and it is always ready to excuse to trust to Hope and to endure whatever comes.
Love does not come to an end. . 2 Cor 13: 1-7

I do not hate Roman Catholics - I was RCC from an infant until almost 42 years of age. Then I was witnessed to by a man who had the Holy Spirit and could pray in tongues. He opened up his old battered KJV
and read out scriptures to me about being born new again by water baptism and Holy Spirit baptism, about signs following believers, about miracles and healings, about overcoming sin, and much more.
I already knew as a Bible reader that there was an enormous gulf between the Word of God and what is RCC doctrine and faith; but at that time I did not know of any real alternatives.
When I received the indwelling Holy Spirit and prayed in tongues at that moment I received a wonderful revelation from God that the Bible is truth and all of it is of Jesus.
It is when one is enlightened and receives understanding of the scriptures through the Holy Spirit that a disciple can spiritually discern the falsehoods and shortcomings of worldly religions.

If Babylon of Mesopotamia was the source of false religion that obscured the knowledge of the true God worshipped by Adam and Seth, the patriarchs and then to Noah, then Rome is the equivalent today in the
New Testament period. For Rome is truly the civilization and political economy of the West.
Worse Rome is the Mother of Harlots and Mystery Babylon and from Rome all of her children have truncated gospel doctrines that fall short of the full gospel preached and believed upon by the apostles and disciples
of the first century that we can read of in the New Testament.

This thread is about the power of angels. And the miracles I posted for sharing are typical miracles that angels who have a vested interest in the Mother Church do so as to keep the faithful in these worldly churches.
On the other hand, when Pentecostal Christians lay hands on the sick and pray for miracles they are blessings that directly heal and set free people suffering from tribulations or dire circumstances.
Miracles in the Spirit-filled churches assist individuals to come good and rejoice, and to be exhorted in faith unto God - not Mary, not dead saints, not a papa in Constantinople or Rome.

Take a look at the miracles like the glowing Mary above the Coptic Church in Cairo - that does not address the specific needs of individual believers. No one is healed.
And you must check out Fatima 1917 - so powerful and overwhelming that a century later Fatima is still celebrated, and the faithful flock there in busloads to buy sacred relics.

The man who spoke to you never said , " the RRC was not of the Lord." Dont you think if the Spirit filled him, he would tell you this?

The fact is , the man was filled with the Holy Spirit.

The Catholics are asleep , for the most part. Even now, in America, only small groups have opened to the Holy Spirit.

There is a wealth of knowledge the Catholics hold within thier teachings, that they themselves do not see.

If i were to compare the ground, like a farmer, to grow crops in. The Catholics, by far, have the richest deepest dirt to grow in. And only a few even know of it. ( it isnt that the few are selfish, no. It is the fact that the church doesnt teach the depth of it.

The Protestants yearn for that rich dirt, but because it is within the Catholic thinking, the ministers run from it, and teach others to run as well
