  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Guardian angels, how many do you have?

Hansel and Gretel? You are basing your Biblical beliefs on Hansel and Gretel?
No sir. I base my beliefs on the revelation that God gives both in Holy Scripture and in Holy Tradition as they are interpreted by Holy Mother Church. And I sing songs such as the one from Hansel and Gretel. May God be praised in all things and at all times always and forever as such is right to do.

That explains a lot of the difference we have - Personally, my faith is based solely on the inerrant Word of God. But you know that already.

I will leave you to your fairy tales unopposed.

People talk about guardian angels, and angels are mentioned in the holy scriptures so I wonder do we really have guardian angels and if so how many?

One song suggests that we have fourteen.
Scripture doesn't say a specific number, nor that there is one (or more) "assigned" to each believer. However, it strikes me how often I have had a near miss in a car, or needed a word of encouragement, or was given a service challenge right when I needed one... and I think, "Thank God." It doesn't matter in the moment whether it is God directly or through His angels who "serve those who will inherit salvation" (Heb 1:14)

I have heard you say it, that is all I know of it.
