SJ - have you read the Frank Peretti books "This Present Darkness" and "Piercing the Darkness"?? They are amazing books about the spiritual realm, and you will never have the same view on angels/demons again! So cool
Hey MEL (Arimeh), ... me too ... The second night i was in hospital after having my daughter Cendrine, i was laying in bed on my side looking at her in her crib fast asleep thinking how sad that both my Grandmothers, my G8-Aunt (my middle name after her) & my Auntie (who had passed away whilst i was pregnant) .. they all didn't get to see my first & only child. As i was thinking this suddenly Cendrine opened her eyes so wide open looking at me & then suddenly i could feel someone stroking my hair
I felt so comforted & at such peace.
In a lovely but odd way i never felt i was alone in my hospital room the whole entire stay ... i felt very secure
Was hard too cause neither my folks or my DP's folks ever came to visit us in the hospital when she was born ... so it felt so nice to feel that someone else was there with me having their visit
SaraJane - I thought so too. But check out the Bible; Gabriel is an angel, not an archangel. In nativity plays he (usually she in the infant play) is called an archangel, but that's incorrect.
There's a great line in Anne of the Island where Anne refers to someone as being "as ugly as Old Nick" (Satan/Lucifer/the Devil) - Aunt Jimsie replies that Satan can't be that ugly, else no-one would want to follow him.
Are Angels mentioned in every 'religion'?
What is your idea of what an Angel is?
Do you believe in guardian Angels?
Do you think people become Angels when they die
To answer the questions asked:
1 - no idea! I don't know every religion but I do know that every religion worships (for lack of a better term) a higher power so its possible.
2 - I think Angels is a spirit who has crossed over from this place to the next
3 - Yes I believe in guardian angels and I also think people can have more than one watching over them.
4 - Yes I believe people become angels when they die, but I don't think that everyone becomes a guardian angel.
