Question
   When was the plan of salvation thought out? Was it before the creation of the angels? Thank you.

Answer
Hi Ray,

Thank you for this great question.  God is not bound by time like we are.  Salvation was concieved before the foundation of the world.

1 Peter 1:18-20
18 Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; 19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: 20 Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,

I hope that this helps you.

In Christ
Pastor Don
