How and why do angels fight?

[tashja]

That would have been specifically for Picard, because he is a staunch atheist.

LOL! I miss Picard.

Watch the film 'Gabriel' starring Andy Whitfield and all your questions will be answered.

 

[tashja]

one of the conditions for them to be readmitted beside god is faith and total obediance to god.
If they have a grudge against god, then they will stay in hell.

ok.

I'm so watching it.

 

[drumbeat]

It's just a story.
Why are you reading too much into it?

angels have no choice but to obey, (which just adds more to the question of why were they fighting)

 

[Big Chiller]

So they disappear forever? Meaning they're no longer conscious of their existence?

yes.


jan.

Well at least people are said to live forever in the hereafter so it's not impossible there are angels who live on forever in the hereafter also.

 

[Michael]

They fight for Gods amusement. Like Kirk in the "Bread and Circuses" TOS.

 

[spidergoat]

Why is that a problem?

jan.

Because it means it was a tale told by humans with either a lack of imagination or a moral to teach.

*************
M*W: Astro-theologically speaking, an 'angel' is a metaphor for a 'star'. In the bible, anywhere you see 'angel', it is my opinion that it means 'star.' Look up some of the references to 'angels' and see if 'star' doesn't fit it well. 'Lucifer' leads the rebellious stars. 'Lucifer' means 'light'. He was the king of the stars, and 'Lucifer' led a rebellion against god. If the story of the rebellion is true, it would simply mean some kind of star shower. Or, it could have been a meteor shower where some 'angels' fell to earth.

I've been saying this for years, but there are many references in the bible to objects in the solar system.

 

[Dywyddyr]

I'm no theologian, but what makes you think angels/demons are immortal?
jan.

I dunno, would the bible count as a source for you?

and they can no longer die; for they are like the angels.

Luke 20:36. Angels can't die.

 

[Dywyddyr]

Yep.

Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing some people have entertained angels without knowing it.

(Heb 13:2)

I've lost count of the number of times I've entertained a stranger (coffee, wine, cakes, that sort of thing) only to find out a week later they were actually stars.
Mind you you I should have guessed. The scorch marks on the sofa was big clue.

'cause I want answers, darnit!

 

[SciWriter]

Devils are black holes.

The only thing I can't resist is temptation.

(And gravitation.)

 

[tashja]

It just occurred to me that maybe angels are like force carrying particles for the spiritual world.

 

[Dywyddyr]

Lucifer is a photon?

 

[tashja]

Yep.

(Heb 13:2)

:roflmao:

 

[SciWriter]

It just occurred to me that ideas just occurring to me often have to be better thought out. Lucifer is the light-bringer. Guardian angels prevent kids from falling off of cliffs.

 

[tashja]

Lucifer is a photon?

Perhaps.

 

[Emil]

So, if I do not want to meet Lucifer, I will have to stay in complete darkness?!
