  • 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.

Are angels really dressed in white
Do angles really have wings (i don't really think a powerful being need wings to fly...but anyway...)
Is heaven's ground really made of clouds
Is heaven really white in color
Does God really have a beard (who says enlightened being must grow a beard?)
Do jesus really have a ball of light around his head

Or are these just imagined by humans?

I could find no confirmation in my online NIV Bible.

Do angles really have wings (i don't really think a powerful being need wings to fly...but anyway...)
Cherubim who protect the Ark of the Covenant have 2 wings.

Others have 2 also!
ZEC 5:9 Then I looked up--and there before me were two women, with the wind in their wings! They had wings like those of a stork, and they lifted up the basket between heaven and earth..
But the seraphim who are at the throne of God have 6 wings.
Is heaven's ground really made of clouds
Is heaven really white in color

Check this out - Revelation 21:10 - Heaven is made of gemstones, gold, etc. I imagine it to look like the most beautiful country imaginable.


Does God really have a beard (who says enlightened being must grow a beard?)

I couldn't find a reference to "enlightened being must grow a beard" - rather that it is a sign of repentance or shame to pull one's beard out.

Do jesus really have a ball of light around his head

Description of Jesus by John!
Also, sunlight and lamplight will no longer be needed!


Or are these just imagined by humans?

No, not imagined by humans, but seen by John the Revelator! Read Revelations for all the descriptions of heaven, Jesus and God the Father!

Angel = messenger in the greek

Angels are always described as powerful and masculine, and rarely, if ever, humanoid. Some people believe that angels form into a hiarchy where some are more powerful. Now that i think about, sometimes Angels (Genesis) can appear as people (illusion).

Only 3 angles are named in the bible, Lucifer, Michael, and Gabriel. Lucifer means son of the morning star, and was the angel that rebelled against God and became what we call Satan.
