wrong on everythnig but 3 and 4. I'll give you 1 and 5 if you strictly limit it to the popular conception of angels and Hell. 2 May be technically correct I'm not sure if the term is used but it is a title given to a specific player (note it it often confused)

NOTE:

I am at work and hove no access to Cracked or the Bible
Okay... There's all kinds of things wrong with what you just said.

Never mind that "the lake of fire" is something completely different than "hell"

Might've been the Houston Ship Channel.





Foster says. “ We even had waterways that would catch fire. The Houston Ship Channel would occasionally catch fire.” Since the Clean Water Act was passed, the number of polluted water-ways has been cut in half, according to Foster.

Your collective inability to acknowledge this obvious truth makes you all look like fools.

#5
Angel: start @ Genesis 16:7 and work yer way forward=
And the angel of the LORD found her by a fountain of water in the wilderness, by the fountain in the way to Shur.

Angels: start @ Genesis 19:1 and work yer way forward=
And there came two angelsto Sodom at even; and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom: and Lot seeing [them] rose up to meet them; and he bowed himself with his face toward the ground;

#4
Yer right about Satan=he is depicted as an visage of light.

2Corinthians 11:14=And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.

#3
Mark 14:23 And he took the cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave [it] to them: and they all drank of it.

Men have given power unto the cup other than the symbolic.

#2
1John 2:18 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.

I agree there is no mention of an ANTICHRIST as presented by many. An indiviual that will inhabit the Earth and reign for a millinium.

However by it's very definition an antichrist is someone that is against christ, Gob you fit that definition.

#1
Hell: start @ Deuteronomy 32:22 and work yer way forward = For a fire is kindled in mine anger, and shall burn unto the lowest hell, and shall consume the earth with her increase, and set on fire the foundations of the mountains.

But I figger yer looking for something more like: 2Peter 2:4=For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast [them] down to hell, and delivered [them] into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;

Keld there is no question to the concept of Jesus ever drinking from a Cup (I hear he took it straight from the winsskin) but the exisitance of a vessel rendered magical by some holy spittle (and blood if you believe the stories) is completely non-biblical

Can't it won't open for me at work.

From the premise however they are there or they aren't.

I don't disagree, some aren't but some are.

I didn't really think you did I was just pointing out that "cup" does not equal "Grail" and it also gave me a chance to be silly

So the question emerges: When Jesus said "this is my body," when he said "this is my blood," was he being literal or figurative?
Reason is valuable only when it performs against the wordless physical background of the universe.

There are angels in many different religious beliefs, and yup, they can appear differently to different cultures; yet they are all depiction of 'Messengers of God.'

As for Christianity, they knew the wings were symbolic;

Wiki
Saint John Chrysostom [b: 344? d: 407] explained the significance of angels' wings:

"They manifest a nature's sublimity. That is why Gabriel is represented with wings. Not that angels have wings, but that you may know that they leave the heights and the most elevated dwelling to approach human nature. Accordingly, the wings attributed to these powers have no other meaning than to indicate the sublimity of their nature."[47]
