You could not be more wrong. There is but one way to interpret the Holy Bible: literally! It is explicitly not allowed to add or remove things from the Bible!

Deuteronomy 4:2 "Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you."

AMEN and thank you!

Ecclesiastes 10:12
The words of a wise man's mouth are gracious; but the lips of a fool will swallow up himself.

And you people believe that when you die, you put on a robe, grow wings and sit on a cloud for all eternity with a big guy with a long white beard. Every religon (I'd only call yours a religon if I was feeling generous. Yours is more of a cult) has their own quirky beliefs on the afterlife. The only difference is that you people and so arrogant, narrow-minded and stupid enough to believe that every one else is wrong just because you read it from some book that has no relevance to reality at all.

Saying things like that are hardly going to help. :/ Personally, I don't think Christianity is a cult.

Who said I was trying to help? Ha. Either way, I'm not calling Christianity a cult. I'm calling this place and what they believe a cult, because from what I read on here, they sure as hell aren't Christians.

So according to you people who follow the Holy Bible to the letter are not Christians?

Exactly. Just because you read a cook book doesn't make you a master chef.

Angels are a separate species created by God.

The Bible tells us that at death, we are dead and unknowing until the Resurrection at Judgment, when every HUMAN will be resurrected into a HUMAN body.

No wings.

The Biblical description of the afterlife has nothing to do with "sitting on clouds". Maybe you should try reading the Bible before telling us what it says.

You've never even read the cook book, so you cannot know what is in it; you've heard half of an episode of a show on the Food Network about cajun cooking and assume that our chocolate cake is made with crayfish and andouille sausage. Evidence is plain in your beliefs about the Christian afterlife, which have nothing to do with the Bible.

Let me guess, you think that a Christian should ignore the Bible and instead make up his own fluffy-bunny religion, because that is RESPECTING GOD?

You go girl! Christianity isn't a cult, but the way some churches are.... You start to wonder. Where I grew up we had like, 10 churches on one block. It was disturbing only because the churches were divided. They wouldn't associate with eachother, they all believed pretty much the same thing but they were all stuck up in their own way. Don't get me wrong, they were nice people, but they refused to associate with a church just because they dressed a certain way, and I'm not talking about the way I'm dressed, I'm talking about the way people dressed in the 70's and 80's just more toned down. It was odd.

I have a question. How do man know what are angels, and from where we learned that Satan was before a angel of God called Lucifer(or Luzbel)?

I also heard that angels aren't the only espiritual being with God, there are like a classification, and that angels are the lowest in rank(above them are the arcangels, and there are above 6 more clases above), so, does anyone know all the classes or ranks of beings that are in heaven?

We know about angels because the Bible goes into great detail describing them and their activities. The Bible clearly states Satan was an angel, and his foul demons are also angels, though fallen ones.

"And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him." Revelation 12:9

"How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit." Isaiah 14:12-15

I also heard that angels aren't the only espiritual being with God, there are like a classification, and that angels are the lowest in rank(above them are the arcangels, and there are above 6 more clases above), so, does anyone know all the classes or ranks of beings that are in heaven?

There are different types of angels, though I think the only people who've tried to rank them are the catlicks. I believe Aquinas gives a ranking in his Summa Theologica, but since it's catolick nonsense there's probably nothing worth noting in there.

That said, here are a few verses that do prove there are different types of angels:

"Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly." Isaiah 6:2

"So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life." Genesis 3:24

"Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee." Jude 9

What's wrong with him being a catlick? I understand that everything they say about Mary and that the bible is simbolical is nonsense. But I think that angels for them and for us are the same.

You can't blame a band because one young girl stereotyped herself and took it too far.

I think this is absolute rubbish and you need to do more research, not just copy and paste a paragraph from The Daily Mail.

The band does not promote self harm. They do the exact opposite.

"You should never want to hurt yourself. You should love yourself."
"Suicide is a serious thing. And if you know anyone who is suicidal, you need to get them help. No one should be in pain. Everyone should love themselves. Like I love you all."
Both said by Gerard Way, and he's said much more stuff like this.

The fanbase finds My Chemical Romance really inspiring, and it's saved loads of lifes.

So once a few people form a band they are no longer accountable for their actions? So killing, raping and robbing banks is bad, unless you are in a band? Is that how it works for you?
