Okay, first, why is the armour that the characters wear so big compared to their actual body sizes? I've noticed that the body that goes into the armour is quite a bit smaller than the wearer. Why?

 

Now on a somewhat more serious note, why do the angels have to earn their wings? My study of angels (angelology) has concluded (from my B.A. in Ministry that I am near completed - I am studying to become a Pastor) that angels already have wings. When angels have had a description in the Scriptures, they have included wings as seen in Daniel and in Revelation, and other books of the Bible including Genesis. So why this whole thing of needing to ear wings? Is it for trying to find a good story idea? What is the purpose?

Well my personol answer to the questions are first, If I am going to have weapons aiming at me I would like to have thick amour. Second I think it is to make the story better and to make a easily seen difference between anawim and full gardians, also to make something for them to look forward to, and so angels over them have something they dont.

So apparently you are the only one willing to respond to this. I was hoping for someone from the Angel Wars group itself...

Good question, first off, sorry I've not been on the forum...

I want to remind everyone that we don't think our angels represent what actual angels might look like.  We designed them based purely on our own asthetic tastes, and with the desire to depict them as polar opposite to the way most angels appear in hallmark cards etc.  As to wings, while the bible does mention that angels fly, it is actually unclear as to whether angels have wings at all.  Most references to wings revolve around Seraphim and Cherubim, two types of Angels said to have multimple sets of wings, and even then the wings function as sheilds to filter the Glory of God.  So once again, we decided to use wings for asthetic reasons, and tried to give them a fresh look and feel that played off the traiditional notion of feathery wings.

Kira and Eli's journey to "earn" their wings is not biblical, but the concept of growing in spiritual maturity is.  I remember as a kid thinking I was ready for everything and anything, and feeling so frustrated when my parents disagreed.  In many ways, we never outgrow this boundry pushing, though we take it up with God as we get older.  Kira and Eli represent the universal tendancy to want to do things in our own strength and on our own timetable, what they must learn is the same thing we must learn: God's timing is everything, and increased responibility must be earned, not given.

 

Thanks for the great question!

Courage and Godspeed,
Chris

Good answer. Have you watched or heard jesse diplantes story about his acounter of the god kind, you know when he went to heaven?

That's a good book. I must have read it five times.

Sincerely, gospelgirl714

P.S. I see you got your avatar up. Nice picture.

That man reporting that he died, went to heaven and came back and is supposedly describing everything has all the markings of deception and trying to lead people away from the truth. It is cult-like and God has never allowed anyone to come back from heaven before and tell all about it. When Jesus died and came back from the grave, He did not take the time to say, "Well, this is what heaven looks like." When Lazarus came back from the dead, the first thing he didn't do was to go on a mass marketing campaign to let people know what heaven was like, he told more about how Jesus had raised him from the dead. This man that claims to have gone to heaven and back is one to be leary of. I and my Pastor and others have discussed this issue and all agree this man is not of God.

im not sure i understand what low fat is saying. i think hes saying he doesnt like angel wars because it shows heaven and angels. is that what you mean, low fat? 

Well if you believe that i respect that, however my beliefs are the same. Oh yea and Chris I thought of something, I think it would becool if you could buy a webisode or something.

I have thought over Low Fat's post; and I would have to agree with him and his pastor.

I never said I didn't like Angel Wars. Read my posts again. Angel Wars, Archangels, and others that "show heaven" are the imaginations of people for a good cause. The man that supposedly went to heaven and came back and has gone on a tour across the US and so on to let people know of his heavenly visit is what I don't like. That false story that he propogates as truth is nothing but heresy. THAT is what I am getting at. There is a difference between that man and Angel Wars and other Christian comic book companies that try and give us a glipmse of heaven. Understand what I mean now? Is Angel Wars and others trying to say they have insight into heaven and its' workings? No. Yet this man mentioned above is and he has been on TV shows and so on trying to promote this falsehood.

ah i c. im sorry, low fat i didnt understand. i thot the story you were telling was a parable or something and i was reading into it. 

No offense anyone but I think that we should end this debate, because this is the Angel Wars forum not the Jesse Duplantis forum. I personally like him, but I respect everyone else's beliefs on this subject. Anyway doesn't the Bible say " Who are we to judge"

Your Friend in Christ

P.S. Blessed are the peacemakers.

People misquote that passage in Matthew and try to use that to say "don't judge me." That is NOT the point of the passage. The point is that we are in fact supposed to judge or weigh out the actions of others who are believers in Christ. The world not so much as they are in the dark and do not believe as we do so how can we expect them to think and act as we do? The entire passage is saying that if we judge, we should do so carefully because whatever measure we use to judge will in turn someday be measured on us, so judge and act carefully! If we come across a situation and have nothing but anger and react in anger and perhaps punish in anger (if the situation warrants a correction) then whatever we do will be used on us if we should ever face the same set of circumstances. "In your anger do not sin" is what the Bible says. We are indeed to judge based on what is right and wrong according to the Bible, it is HOW we do it that is the point Jesus was making in Matthew that people take out of context and try to justify an action. The homosexual community uses this verse to try and justify what they do. People who don't marry and just live together in sin use this verse. People who have any problem under the sun (whether it is lying, stealing, not living for God as they should or whatever) use this passage to try and justify what they do, or if not to justify, then to say "Well, I'm not perfect so back off." So for all of us, we need to make sure we have the entire context of the verse we quote before misusing it like so many do.

There end of the mini-sermon.
