How do we get the idea that the "sons of God" are fallen angels?
What is love?
Some people I know lost their eldest son at the age of seven through a farm accident, they believe he came to salvation many years ago but has backslid over the years. I struggle with trying to come at this tragedy from a biblical perspective. Other well meaning folks have said to them that it could be God's way of bringing them back (and to) fellowship with Him. They cannot accept this and is in fact driving them away. I guess it comes down to the oldest question of them all "why did God allow this to happen?" As a family (2 other younger children ) they are really suffering.
Does the verse Luke 9:62 talk about backsliders in the tense of they were never saved?
What is Matthew 16:28 talking about? Does it contradict itself?
In Ezekiel, chapters 40-47, is this a future setup of what has to happen with Israel as nation in the future? What is the period?
