Who Are The 24 Elders? by AntiChristian: 2:32pm On Feb 27 |
Yeah, who are they? As regards the 24 Elders with Yahweh: 1. Of what importance is God having son and 24 elders among his council? Why do God need them? 2. Who are the 24 elders? 3. When were they created? 4. What are their names? 5. Of what essence are they? 6. Can they die? 7. Can they eat and reproduce? 8. Are they like God? 9. Do they sing, clap and dance in worship like Christians do today? 10. Do they pay tithe? 11. Are they Christians since they worship God too? 12. Do they believe Jesus died as God too? 13. Did Jesus ever mentioned them on Earth? 14. Were they mentioned by any other person in the Old testament? 15. How do they look like? Like angels, Cherubs, humans, etc? 16. Where does Jesus and the Spirit sit in the council? On the right or left of the father? |

AntiChristian:According to the Old Law by which visions were given, it is by the account of two or three witnesses that a truth should be established/revealed. The one account regarding these 24 elders is found in the book of Revelation. Where is the second account to help you further under the identity of these supposed 24 elders? That should be what would clue you in to the supposed identity of those John saw in his vision.. |

AntiChristian: Wetin cosain you with them? |
Re: Who Are The 24 Elders? by elated177: 6:15pm On Feb 27 |
Antichristian, increase the questions to 24 and, may be, you will get the answer. |
Re: Who Are The 24 Elders? by Kobojunkie: 6:29pm On Feb 27 |
AntiChristian:Holiness means to exist in compliance with the Law of God and this by abiding by the Law. While the Holy Spirit marks those who are in compliance with the Law, He too, as Jesus Christ explained does not step out of the bounds of the Law -- He gives to those who belong to Jesus Christ (God's Law in the Kingdom of God) of that which belongs to Jesus Christ, God's Law. He will not give anyone that which violates the Law. |

AntiChristian:You think you can use this to escape my noose on the Serious Flaws in the Taoheed. No one knows the exact Identity of the "24 Elders" except that 1. They were reported in the Vision of John given to him by Christ Jesus of things in heaven and on earth past-present and future. 2. The are creatures whose duty is to surround the throne of God and worship Him continually. They seem to be a special class of heavenly Creatures of God with a duty of worship of God. If any other thing is confusing you, let us know. Now, it seems you do not know your religion well 1. Who are the Al-Hur Al-'Ein? Are they Angels or Jinn? Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2564 'Ali narrated that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: "Indeed in Paradise there is a gathering for Al-Hur Al-'Ein wherein they rasie their voices. The creatures have not heard the likes of them." [He said:] "They say: 'We are the eternal ones, we shall not die. We are the ones who live in joy and comfort, we have no needs. We are the pleased ones, we do not get angry. Tuba(good news) to the one who belongs to us and we to him.'" 2. Please who are the Houri and what is their purpose in the paradise? Do they have any other job apart from erotica and party? Sahih al-Bukhari 3254 Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, "The first batch (of people) who will enter Paradise will be (glittering) like the full moon, and the batch next to them will be (glittering) like the most brilliant star in the sky. Their hearts will be as if the heart of a single man, for they will have neither enmity nor jealousy amongst themselves; everyone will have two wives from the houris, (who will be so beautiful, pure and transparent that) the marrow of the bones of their legs will be seen through the bones and the flesh." |

AntiChristian:Ignoramus, so you’re insinuating that I am the same as all the monikers you’ve listed there Sha show me where Allah referred to himself as a king that now make you people to be saying Olorun Oba Allah |
Re: Who Are The 24 Elders? by Kobojunkie: 7:27pm On Feb 27 |
Anyway, my current guess as per the identity of the 24 Elders is the 24 prophets of the Old Law of Moses(John the Baptist being the last of them) who are recorded to have been sent by God before Jesus Christ came. |
Re: Who Are The 24 Elders? by TenQ: 7:27pm On Feb 27 |
AntiChristian:God's Word became Human and this human that is God's word is called the Son of God. The importance of the Word Becoming Man is to be the payment for the consequence of our sin which is infinitly big. The 24 Elders duty is purely to Worship only a satanist will call them a council. AntiChristian:Special Heavenly Creatures of God who stay in His presence. AntiChristian:No one knows AntiChristian:Not given to men AntiChristian:To worship God AntiChristian:They are spirit beings and thus cannot die AntiChristian:Spirit beings neither eat nor reproduce. Does Jibril eat? AntiChristian:No! AntiChristian:The bible describes what they do as casting down their crowns and worshipping God on His throne. AntiChristian:No! Tithe is only useful on earth AntiChristian:Only humans can be Christians AntiChristian:Yes they do. AntiChristian:No. there was no need to. AntiChristian:No. Others like the Cherubims and Seraphims were mentioned. Special Angels that serve God in Worship in His presence. AntiChristian:Second time you are asking. Can you answer these same questions with the Prostitutes (Houri) in Allah's paradise? |

Re: Who Are The 24 Elders? by advocatejare(m): 7:16am On Feb 28 |
TenQ:AntiChristian knows that Jibreel is obviously a jinn that tormented Muhammad till he died, Muhammad confessed that he has a demon but that the demon only commanded him to do good, I wonder any demon who command anyone to do good! But trust Muslims, they believe every nonsense as long as Muhammad was the one who utter it |

elated177: You obviously can't wrap your head around the questions. I love your tactics. At least you didn't derail the thread like the other Holy Spirit filled super devils! |
Re: Who Are The 24 Elders? by AntiChristian: 8:44am On Feb 28 |
Kobojunkie: You and this your Holy Spirit laws, when Holy Spirit descended on Samson and David, Jesus wasn't involved. |
Re: Who Are The 24 Elders? by MaxInDHouse(m): 9:04am On Feb 28 |
They are spirit sons of God who are faithful and loyal to God for countless years that's why they are addressed as "ELDERS" the account goes on to say they also render sacred service to God but they are not humans because they were pictured with the four living creatures standing around God's throne! Revelations 5:8 |
Re: Who Are The 24 Elders? by AntiChristian: 11:43am On Feb 28 |
advocatejare: Where did I mention your name specifically? It could be anyone among you all! Are you guilty? Sha show me where Allah referred to himself as a king that now make you people to be saying Olorun Oba Allah I am not "you-people"! You should ask those you hear that from as it's not a general thing! |
Re: Who Are The 24 Elders? by AntiChristian: 11:44am On Feb 28 |
Kobojunkie: You mean John the Baptist was among them as he was on earth or joined them after he was beheaded as a birthday gift? |
Re: Who Are The 24 Elders? by AntiChristian: 11:48am On Feb 28 |
MaxInDHouse: Was Jesus too in the picture siting at the right side of his father? |
Re: Who Are The 24 Elders? by AntiChristian: 11:52am On Feb 28 |
TenQ: Just like that with no relevant verses from your Bible? |
Re: Who Are The 24 Elders? by Dtruthspeaker: 12:52pm On Feb 28 |
AntiChristian: Ask question wey get value and wey dey.give sense. And as you don talk so, dis prove say, even you know say d question no make sense at all. |
Re: Who Are The 24 Elders? by Kobojunkie: 12:53pm On Feb 28 |
AntiChristian:Holy Spirit Laws? The Laws were given by the God of Israel; He is God of Laws. The Law of Moses also had a Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ didn't need to be there for that to be the case. Or do you know of any restriction that kept there from existing a Holy Spirit for the Old Law? |
Re: Who Are The 24 Elders? by Kobojunkie: 12:55pm On Feb 28 |
AntiChristian:Joined them where? You forget that the book of Revelation you read that from is a book of Visions and Visions, even the details contained, aren't meant to be literally translated or interpreted. |
Re: Who Are The 24 Elders? by MaxInDHouse(m): 2:13pm On Feb 28 |
AntiChristian:What has that got to do with your first question? |
Re: Who Are The 24 Elders? by TenQ: 2:18pm On Feb 28 |
AntiChristian:LOL! Since when did you start believing the bible? Taoheed is the fabrication of a fraudster : this is why it scattered like hiroshima after a single nuke. |
Re: Who Are The 24 Elders? by elated177: 6:38pm On Feb 28 |
AntiChristian, what tactics are you on about? What I haven't been able to fathom is your fixation on the Scriptures of my God. It appears you read them more than you read your own. You shouldn't have stopped at 15 questions, make them 24. I am filled with the Set-apart Spirit and Power of my God, YHVH Almighty, the one and only true God, the Creator of the heavens, the earth, the seas and everything in them. You aren't supposed to be bothered. You probably think that you are making a mockery of the Spirit and Power of YHVH Almighty, on the contrary, you are only making mockery of yourself. Before you draw my attention to TenQ, like I have said in the past, I don't really know what the two of you are competing for. My Master and Saviour, Yahushua the Messiah, the Word and the begotten Son of YHVH Almighty, didn't send any of his saints, servants, followers or messengers to go and start antagonizing others by criticizing their religious books. Have we finished sharing the Good News of his Kingdom that we should now spend time on such? Ours is to say what our Scriptures say and if anyone is offended by it, well, that will be his/her business. |
Re: Who Are The 24 Elders? by bobestman(m): 7:45pm On Feb 28 |
I will tell who they were for the ignorant churchians not for the poster who should be dealing with the many errors in his own religion. They were the first set of men God Almighty gave the power to become concils in his kingdom. They were the first chosen ones who were exceptional on their task on earth. They were great kings who ruled the earth with the wisdom of God Almighty. They were the first men to ascend to the stargate and then to the house of God Almighty. They were not heavenly beings but earth cos they were redeemed from the earth - Rev 5:9. They are the great teachers who often come to earth to teach us and when they finish their work they ascend out of earth. Sorry they are not religious men or belong to any. They only come here to teach the truth to those who will heed. Ppl like Enouch and Elijah. Paul also told you he saw a man caught up to the 3rd heaven. They are in our world today. No religion can save you. The truth has always been within |

Re: Who Are The 24 Elders? by Kobojunkie: 9:45pm On Feb 28 |
Expanse2020:Well, you are reading from a vision and assertion a literal interpretation of the contents of the vision which is a problem. My guess at this point is that the 24 elders are a reference to the 24 Prophets of Old chosen by God to speak on His behalf to the people of Israel. John sees them as elders because they are of the Old Law of Moses which predates the New Agreement, Jesus Christ. They sit council of God because of the role they all occupied over God's Israel - an advisory, deliberative, or legislative body of people formally constituted. They are said to be in Heaven around the throne because they were after all chosen by the God who presides over the affairs of men to oversea the people of Israel who are His. |
