So, what do angels really look like? What is a biblically accurate description of an angel? Will we know when we see one? The answer to this actually entirely depends on what form they take. Angels, being spiritual beings, can take on different forms. As we see in Scripture, angels ...
in English, you have to pick one. When you read Matthew in its original Greek, however, you can sit much closer to the mystery — just as Christians have been doing for thousands of years — and wonder, what did God mean by that?
Scripture is something I like to consider when interpreting any dream. The bible does not mention guns but mentions weapons of war. If we take Ecclesiastes 9:18 it reads "wisdom is better than weapons" there is another scripture that points to swords and training hands of war (Pslam 144.1)...

a problem with me, but I’m not going to initiate if that person won’t do it.” Given what Jesus has said about the wronged party going to the offender, it’s clear that responsibility lies with the victim for initiating reconciliation. But does this mean the offender is off the hook...
Even though the Bible does not talk about our need for self-esteem, many believers have bought into the world’s ideas about what it is and its importance. But what is the biblical understanding of self-esteem? First, it doesn’t mean we should be self-deprecating or wallow in unworthine...
