If satan was one of two cherubs that sat before the thrown of G-d, and covered G-d with his wings. Is G-d now exposed since there is only one cherub at his trown. and since the cherubs on the arch of the covenant, are supposed to be the cherubs that are at the foot of G-ds thrown, is satan on the arch of the covenient?

Dont listen to those things. MEN wrote them. They have many fabrications. Dont listen to the other answerers who are giving you grief either. I know why you spelled G-d. It's because G-d's name is not to be used casually as if he is a regular person. Also because things that may be erased, are not allowed to have G-d's name because it is not meant to be erased(a Jewish friend told me)\nSomeone also told me it was because it is Dog spelled backwards(that was pretty dumb)

Satan isn't really one single being in the bible. Like black_hole_gravity said, it means "adversary" and it's more of a title than a name. Although Lucifer still is a villain in christian mythology. He did rebel against god in the story.

Because that "God" in Jeremiah 13:14 is the Lord, God of Israel. That "God" is not the same God who created humans or is it the same God who created the entire universe. They are all different. The Lord, God of Israel is actually Satan, the fallen angel. Satan is an alien from heaven and is obsessed with control and power over humans. In the case of the biblical story you brought up, Satan is concerned with collecting all the gold and treasures from all the people he ordered massacred. Reread the story again with this explanation in mind and it will make sense. Satan is still concerned with hoarding gold to this day. The followers of that "God" are actually Satanist working for a real alien (or angel). There is nothing spiritual about the mass killings of women, children, and babies; it is just, quite simply, a factual account of a greedy, gold hungry alien passing as a 'god' to humans who willing do his bidding in exchange for worldly policical powers. These Satanist are behind almost all the world events of modern times. But don't be scared, their time is almost up and they will soon be at our feet (Rev 2:9 and 3:9). And the creator God of human beings will be returning! (Rev 20-22) That is the Good News of the Bible.

That's actually a really interesting question, and I'm afraid I don't have much time to fully answer it, but I'll give you a basic overview.\n\n\nBack when all the texts were compiled and what should (or not) be included in the New and Old Testaments was decided, some of the texts were left out.\nWhile some were fully censored and destroyed (for example, the newly discovered "Gospel of Judas"), others were simply censored or adapted.\nThe existence of Nephilim was one of those situations, where the scriptures were slightly censored and therefore some rare references to generally unknown things can be read in there. Never heard of Lilith? That's another example of a removed text.\n\nWhile in the link I'll provide below there is some information about your subject, you could also try to read the "Dead Sea Scrolls" or "Apocrypha", as they have some of the texts that were cut out and (perhaps) provide more information on Nephilim.

Wow, this is a new topic and compared to what I have read so far today...a pleasant change.  Possibly so, since we are to believe we were all 'created' in the image of God.  Angels were first according to history and Satan, Lucifer was his favorite at one time.  I don't know what else to say, but I appreciate the question for the open minded people out in the world today...what if this is true?  Good one.

If you were standing in front of a door, one leading to heaven and one leading to hell, neither of which are labeled, and guarding that door is a guard, one who always lies and one who always tells the truth, but you don't know who's who, what question would you ask to definitively know which one is the door to heaven versus hell.\nanswer: "what would the other guard say that you would say is the door to heaven (hell)?" then you know the opposite door is the door to heaven (hell)

Not sure if its mentioned in the text but don't muslims think there was a split in heaven when Adam was created?  Something about Allah wanting all beings to worship Adam and Satan refused and led a revolt.  Some angels sided with Satan and some with Allah.  Those who could not decide were sent here as humans to make their decision.  Something like that, I'm probably butchering their theology.

The Beast appears as a satanic version of Christ. We have to be careful what we are looking for because the Jews missed Jesus when he came because they were waiting for a worldly warrior, not the suffering servant lamb that takes away the sins of the world.The Beast could be a literal man like many think or a messenger of GOD like Muhammad or anyone or anything else that resembles Jesus Christ. So watch and pray. We will see soon enough.\nMay GOD richly bless you.

What makes you think angels have wings at all? Think about it, no one has actually seen an angel for real, all we have are pictorial descriptions, artist's renderings of what they THINK an angel looks like.\n\nTo my way of thinking, wings are completely unnecessary. In the Spirit realm, one just thinks of a location, and one is there (this is what quantum mechanics is teaching us). Space and Time are not so relevant. But ancient man had no way of knowing these things. Wings were the only way ancient man had of rationalizing such action.  For an example of ancient man's attempt to explain something unknown that is now known: In the Book of Revelation, it is said that the martyrs who will be killed, will be seen by the entire world for three days. At the time the Bible was written, how could THAT possibly come about??? But with the advent of television, we now know how this is quite possible. \n\nSo if someone of ancient times tries to explain the movement of spiritual beings thru space and time, he's going to use the only information he has... and at the time the only ones doing any flying were birds... with wings. This is the concept we have had about angels since then. Thanks to Quantum Physics, we now know that light particles can be in two places at once. Once we (as a collective whole) become more enlightened on the subject, I suspect we will find more than just light particles can move instantaneously as well.

Go count up the number of humans the "God" of the Bible caused the death of then count up the number "Satan" killed. Methinks they got the labels mixed up ; )

I would guess that they buried it or disposed of it someplace. I would like to know where in the Bible it talks of the Jewish law you are speaking of. If you could add the verse/s in the additional details area. I would like to learn more about that.

Ah ...the soft-shoe routine you can get from people who believe in the "inerrant" Bible - when a text clearly states something so awful that it must be re-re-reinterpreted.\n\nSo .. a word from our sponsor:\nIsiah 45:7 "I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and CREATE EVIL: I the LORD do all these things."\n\nAnd now let's hear the various (laughable) renditions of what "evil" means "in this context," or "the actual Hebrew means something totally different." - obviously it couldn't just mean "evil," .... could it? \n\nThere is no one answer to your question. Current theology, in a vain attempt at sidestepping the mystical trend that produced the citation above, holds that God did NOT do what He says He did, or that it's a "mystery to be revealed in the end to us all."

Not shocked not angry but a little confused. I wish I knew what church she went to. The bible is full of soldiers and warriors (and they weren't always the bad guys). David was a soldier when he killed Goliath. I just wonder who has warped her towards something like that.

Satan Cast Out of Heaven\n\nIn the early part of our century, there was a war in heaven. The Bible book of Revelation describes what happened: “And war broke out in heaven: Michael  and his [good] angels battled with the dragon [Satan], and the dragon and its [bad] angels battled but it did not prevail, neither was a place found for them any longer in heaven. So down the great dragon was hurled, the original serpent, the one called Devil and Satan, who is misleading the entire inhabited earth; he was hurled down to the earth, and his [bad] angels were hurled down with him.”\n\nWhat was the result? The account continues: “On this account be glad, you heavens and you who reside in them!” The good angels could be glad because Satan and the bad angels, or spirits, were no longer in heaven. But what about people on earth? The Bible says: “Woe for the earth and for the sea, because the Devil has come down to you, having great anger, knowing he has a short period of time.”—Revelation 12:7-9, 12.\n\nYes, Satan and his wicked companions mislead and cause great woe for people on earth. These wicked angels are called demons. They are enemies of God. All of them are evil.

First off...I say no.\n\nSecond of all, perhaps there's more to consider.  \n\nAsk yourself WHY satan appeared as a serpent in the garden?  (hit...satan always tries to decieve).\n\nIn Exodus, when the children of Israel are being afflicted by the "flying serpents" moses puts a serpent on a cross (um...symbolic) and says "look to the serpent to live".\n\nThis is not doctrine of my faith, however I sincerly believe that at one point the serpent was a symbol of christ rather than of satan.  Satan appeared in a manner trying to mimick christ and therefore decieve eve.  Moses knew this symbology but it's since been forgotten.\n\nI believe the snake was originally a symbol of Christ.

I am not aware of any passage stating that God dealt with Elisha about this incident.\nAs far as I can tell, Elisha cursed them in the Name of the Lord, and God is the one who sent the bears. There is no indication that Elisha called the bears down upon them, merely that He spoke a curse (removal of God's protection and blessing), and God is the one who decided how the curse would be fulfilled.\n\nIn my study of this passage, I have concluded that the "children" refered to here are (by other uses of the same Hebrew word) probably young men, and the phrase "Go up, thou baldy" means that they rejected Elisha's ministry as being from God. I read this as an Old Testament parallel of what Jesus refered to as the unpardonable sin in  Matthew 12:31-32.

It does not seem there is redemption for fallen angels.  Perhaps because they had seen God in all His Glory.  However, we only get a glimpse of this, not a complete story.  The Bible is about OUR redemption, not theirs.  We just aren't told about such matters.
