star_child Posted January 26, 2005 #1 Share Posted January 26, 2005 Hey guys! I know that Angels are supposed to be Heavenly and pure, but I find the thought of them more terrifying than any other 'creature'. I know it is mad, but they are just so spooky! Anyway, people seem to see Angels before they die. I'm not even that scared of death. After all, what is there in this world to live for? Humans have ruined it all. I'm getting off the point here! Ok, what I'm looking for is cool facts about Angels. From star_child xox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kassumi Posted January 26, 2005 #2 Share Posted January 26, 2005 All i've heard is that angels are a sort of spirit guide. Some people have angels others have wise chinese men and stuff. Although i'm supposed to have an angel spirit guide, at least thats what the clairvoyant said Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
star_child Posted January 26, 2005 Author #3 Share Posted January 26, 2005 Ok, before I ask, I don't mean your personal experience, but do they actually contact you? I don't understand why you would need a clairvoyant for this. Can you find out any other way? (I would be quite skeptical of some clairvoyants, as I know some can be fakes) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kassumi Posted January 26, 2005 #4 Share Posted January 26, 2005 Yes i've heard of meditations that can get you in touch with you spirit guide or angel. I have never had one contact me, but when i've had to face a tough challenge i've felt like there was someone looking over me. I've heard that they can contact you but i think most of the time you contact them through meditation. I was skeptic of Clairvoyants at first but i saw one (£2 for a whole evening) and it was amazing how accurate she was. Even if she was wrong its a really enlightening experience.

star_child Posted January 26, 2005 Author #5 Share Posted January 26, 2005 Yeah, I guess only you would truly know if what she was saying was accurate. Angels would be good if you were in a bad situation- I've heard of guardian angels saving people etc. Did you find it scary at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Silver Thong Posted January 26, 2005 #6 Share Posted January 26, 2005 there is a movie or movies called the prophecy, and they said the if any mortal man were to see an angle the would go insane or drop dead from fear. Just a movie though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MedicTJ Posted January 26, 2005 #7 Share Posted January 26, 2005 While I believe in angels and have some belief in "guardian" angels, I am completely skeptical of people being able to "contact" them. There's a reason for this. Angels are supernatural creatures. And, for those who believe in the bible, they have other-worldly powers and have in the past appeared on Earth. It just seems to me that if someone WERE able to break the boundary to be able to speak with one, they'd probably say something like, "If we want to talk to you, we'll talk to you." If they have no problems whatsoever existing in either realm, then there must be a reason they aren't here more often......or at all for that matter.

Jesus_Freak Posted January 26, 2005 #9 Share Posted January 26, 2005 Well, as a christian, i believe angels are there to either help God (like, talking to humans, since our little heads would pop if we heard God), or to glorify God (the ones that sit and sing all the time)... i see no reason to fear angels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
star_child Posted January 26, 2005 Author #10 Share Posted January 26, 2005 Thank you very much. I never understood why I was scared of angels. Just the thought of a glowing 7feet being (as they are often described) really freaks me out! Maybe the world is too evil for Angels to visit more often. Has any one read 'His Dark Materials' trilogy, by Philip Pullman? Some see it as blasphemy, because it talks about God a lot, in unrealisitc ways. The angels in that have to help the children. I always think that fantasy authors must have got their ideas from reality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nate0192 Posted January 27, 2005 #11 Share Posted January 27, 2005 (edited) Maybe the world is too evil for Angels to visit more often. they're spirits, so you can't see them with your eyes unless it's an apparition. there are angels going back and forth between the heavens and the earth almost constantly. they carry out God's wishes (ie miracles) for Him. I always think that fantasy authors must have got their ideas from reality. most of them just make up stuff that's barely based on reality at all.

The Raven Posted January 27, 2005 #12 Share Posted January 27, 2005 I'm not even that scared of death. After all, what is there in this world to live for? Humans have ruined it all. 464800[/snapback] HAHAHA, I have to TOTALLY agree with that. I can't believe the work of so few has influenced so many and lead to our complete downfall. Whoever thinks we are doing great as a race must be locked up in an asylum unless it's rather sarcastic optimism. Anyways, I don't think angels are scary at all. You know who I think is scary? The Pope and all the radical priests at the Vatican and in a lot of other churches itching for another widespread and terrible Inquisition. I don't give blame to all Christians, but the work of a few really taints the whole religion because of modern stereotyping. If only angels had the power to show these men up, unless of course the angels were in on it all along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nate0192 Posted January 28, 2005 #14 Share Posted January 28, 2005 I think angels are those little heavenly beings that fly around with their silk soft wings and spread sunshine everywhere in the world!!!!!! ................. they're not like that. them being "little heavenly beings" was made up by renaissance painters.

star_child Posted January 28, 2005 Author #18 Share Posted January 28, 2005 I know it is crazy that I find Angels spooky, but just imagine on appearing! As for the state of the world, don't y'all think that it is time Jesus came back for a second time? Maybe it would change things. I can' think of a better time. I think I want a guardian Angel now. It could be the Ultimate Power of God that scares people if you really think about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZeroDifference Posted January 28, 2005 #21 Share Posted January 28, 2005 Well, Star Child, I can understand a person having a fear of angels. If you think about it (depending on your religion) Lucifer was an angel, the cherub of god to be exact, who was too proud of himself and his splendor to use his wisdom to prevent his expulsion from heaven and was then crowned as a "Fallen Angel" along with his other followers. So really, angels are both good and evil, and I suppose depending on if you look at the glass half empty or the glass half full, the angels you think about, or you perceive, can be good or bad. So perhaps, Star Child, your perception of angels themselves is that of the fallen rather than those who continue to serve the Lord, hence your fear.
