Let's say, that female angels aren't mentioned in scripture, does that mean any time someone might encounter a female angel, that it's in fact a demon? No, we cannot make that leap. The reason this is so hugely important is because a misunderstanding of this point could cause some to rush to judgment and declare a man of God who's flowing in power an agent of the devil!

This is very serious! Todd Bentley, for example, has been declared a heretic by many on the Emma issue alone.

In fact, many argue that scripture does in fact mention female angels:

Zechariah 5:9-10 (NKJV) 9 Then I raised my eyes and looked, and there were two women, coming with the wind in their wings; for they had wings like the wings of a stork, and they lifted up the basket between earth and heaven. 10 So I said to the angel who talked with me, “Where are they carrying the basket?”

If scripture is silent on an issue isn't evidence enough to deem it unscriptural.

There is a difference between something being renounced by scripture and something not being addressed by scripture.

This isn't a new issue… someone once said that the church isn't mostly divided on what the Bible does say as it is on what the Bible doesn't say.

At the risk of seeming silly, let me ask a question: The Bible says nothing about someone's left hand trembling in the presence of God. Does that mean, that if someone's hand starts to shake, that it's not God? It's a demon?

Of course not. There is MUCH the Bible doesn't address, and we can't simply presume it to be demonically driven. Of course, the rule always remains: if scripture condemns it, then we must also.

Additionally, we must discern for ourselves as we encounter God… yes, there is risk of deception, yes there are demons who come as angels of light, etc… but, it's not confusing. We are not to be fearful or nervous about the issue. God is going to do MUCH as revival breaks out… and if we're not careful we'll shut God down out of our own anxiety.

Remember what John said of Jesus:
John 21:25 (NKJV) And there are also many other things that Jesus did, which if they were written one by one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that would be written. Amen.

Just because something is real doesnt mean its from God, for sure. However, I absolutely believe in miricles and insane acts of God because I've experienced them, and, more importantly, they are displayed in the Word of God, by which, I test ALL things.

I also believe that sometimes people think that demons are angels, when they're really demons. And sometimes people blindly follow whatever they feel or whatever pastor's say without testing anything, which is dangerous more than you know.

As for Bently…he was hearing from an “angel” named EMMA who manifested gold dust. Oddly enough, Emma is the demon of the satanic bible who manifests gold and is the “goddess of the underworld” or something along those lines.

Sure the devil has counterfeits and yada yada, but this is fairly blatent. Esp since female angels dont exist in Biblical scripture.

If I had to guess, I'd say that the reader isn't set up to interpret the publisher's formatting and it just runs it all as straight text rather than as a normal page.

Thanks!!
