To answer your first question: Do God, Satan and angels have souls? Yes, they have souls as do all animals (Job. 12:10). The soul being the essence of what makes you, you—your memories, thoughts—like information on a disc, but in another sense, they are [...]
God and the angels do not participate in the Day of Judgment—they are not on trial. The fallen angels (demons) are being judged and their souls (both spiritual body as well as mind as described above) will be sentenced to destruction or life at [...]
We suspect that stuttering may have been the case in Exodus 4:10-12, when Moses said unto the LORD, “O my Lord, I [am] not eloquent… I [am] slow of speech; and of a slow tongue”….And the LORD said unto him….Now therefore go, and I [...]
