Class #3: Angels and Sin

Class was a little different this time. My 8-year-old son came with me (he was great, but his being there distracted me) and the main topic was angels — mostly fallen angels (something I’ve not read into or thought much about, so actually a bit more interesting for me, but also harder for me to follow).

There were fewer people there this time; the pastor said several were sick, and some had other commitments, but they’d be back. The student-member who had asked about Old v. New Earth creationism at the last class was not there. We sat in the back corner this time, and I couldn’t hear most of the (few) questions from other students.

I have no idea whether this was for my benefit, or would have occurred anyway. (Not that he didn’t also say we’re spiritually dead and will spend eternity in hell, but then that’s fact as far as he’s concerned.)
