Yes, Guardian Angels are a type of Angels that protect and look after many humans who have good souls. Those with tainted hearts have none at all. The number for good souls could start at one and rise. Children who are orphaned or have parental issues (no father, violent parents, etc) usually have more than average. I believe we get a certain amount at birth, then as our life goes on, we get more or less depending on how well or bad it's going, what we decide to do, and so on. They are not spirits that are like us: that is reserved for our Guide. We have one of those, and that spirit can be any good soul that had lived a life not too long before our birth. I believe our Guides can change at different points in our lives, if there needs to be a change at all. I mean, if we have some Guide that lived in another country and did some farm work years ago, it can be switched for a recently passed loved one, or another that wishes to help us along. Again, only good souls have a designated Guide.

That would be where your inherited memory syndrome comes in Mel. Your past Guide could have been replaced by that spirit that used to be a part of that ship. Or, it could simply be watching over you as a second precaution just in case something goes wrong, it will be there to help (this would not be a Guardian Angel but just a spirit who has become attached to you for some reason, like it likes you or something).

Yeah, I guess we shall find out about a lot of things after our lives.

Hey B-rad! Are you quoting the musical group Abba? Cuz that's how one of their songs goes, he-he.
I'm glad yer mother is getting better. 3nodding

So, "Inherited Memory Syndrome"? That's something! I think E-Dragon may have a good point there, you know? I don't think I have that myself though... neutral
Very good post E-Dragon! wink

No? You should really look it up! Try this page! And make sure to look up the one called "I have a dream", ok?. That group is good! They were very popular during the decade I was born (70's). Heck, my mom named me after one of their songs, ha-ha!

And sure, no problem. We're all humans, we have to care about each other and if not, we ought to. 3nodding
I'm sure yer mom's guardian angel is doing something right. mrgreen

I shall look them up, thanks. Which song did she name you after?

Yes, indeed, we ought to. But anymore, especially in America, you don't find too many kind-hearted people.
i know her guardian angel is, thanx again crying

Some versions of the Bible state that God said "Let us make humankind in our image." So did He have a meeting with the angels to decide what the human race would look like? If so, where did these angels come from, there isn't any mention of anyone other than God in creation other than this passage. Or is this something that got lost in translation when being converted from Latin to German to French to Spanish to English and to all other languages?

You raise an excellent question, and i dont have an answer for you sweatdrop

But it brings up a question i'd like an answer to, where did God come from?
PostPosted: Tue Jun 24, 2008 4:59 am


That's a question we're probably never meant to find the answer to. It's beyond our comprehension, so there's really no reason to go looking for it. Even if we did find the answer it wouldn't make any sense to us whatsoever and would probably mess our minds up something wicked.

The song yer looking for is: "Fernando". 3nodding

Miss Fire did place an interesting question, did she not? In my opinion, it must have been something that was translated wrong. That kind of thing happens often, or so I hear.

And I think Mel is right about the answer to all of those "God" related questions. For all we know, we already have the answer encoded in our DNA but, we don't know how to tap into it.

Back in topic, do you think a soul who died when he/she was a baby (it doesn't matter how), can still become an angel if he/she didn't live long? I know there are portraits of baby angels but I wonder... neutral
I ask cuz a cousin of mine had a baby prematurely and she died after barely a month and a half of being alive. Things like that make me think that maybe, with the possibility of reincarnation, she still has a chance of coming back in another body and live again. Who knows... mrgreen

To your statement Hypno, I believe babies are sometimes used to portray Angels because they are so pure and innocent.

When babies die prematurely, I believe the soul has been given another larger purpose in a different life, so they are taken right before or sometime right after they are born to live that life. Or, it could be another soul has a purpose in that life with the mother and the original one leaves only for that woman to have another the year after. That happened with my mom; she became pregnant, but had a miscarriage two months into the pregnancy. Then, a few months later for no reason, and I mean no reason since she was NEVER with my dad in bed intimately after the incident, she became pregnant again and carried the pregnancy to full term. Another funny side note: she said that one of the horoscopes in a magazine she gets every month said something about a new life coming into her life a month before she was pregnant again. I do believe the original baby was not meant to be with us but rather someone else, and thus was replaced sometime later with another one by the will of God.

I wish to add this thought in this topic too: I believe that normal souls that usually inhabit human bodies can become Angels as long as they prove their worthiness to be one. It does not happen a lot, maybe one soul out of billions, but if a soul is not tainted by much more than human instinct I do believe Angels can be introduced as such (as in, a soul that reaches Nirvana since I do not believe many souls will be able to collect themselves by the time human existence ends. I mean, there are more greedy and evil people on this planet now and seems to be engulfing those that only want to do good).

What about the babies that are killed in accidents or murdered? Such as when the Pharaoh had put babies to death in trying to kill Moses.
PostPosted: Sun Jun 29, 2008 1:01 pm


Well, no one knows for sure what exactly happened during that time period. Who knows if Ramses II actually put to death all the newborn nomadics that settled there. They weren't all Jews and were only there to escape the harsh conditions of war and lack of food in their homelands. Even the whole episode that the Bible talks about is being put down as more people look into the situation. The plagues have been linked to a massive volcanic eruption in the Mediterranean, so I cannot say what their purpose is since Biblical accounts are usually put out of proportion for many reasons.

I was just using the Moses thing as an example. i meant just any baby at anytime throughout history (or in the future) being murdered or killed in an accident.

I thought of this a while ago, you don't really see too many male angels do you??
PostPosted: Mon Jun 30, 2008 7:17 pm


Wow, I then read your comment wrong... sweatdrop

Anyway, babies that die because of violence and misconduct have a purpose to show us how evil people can be. I do believe after they die, though, they are almost reincarnated back into another body to live a full life. Perhaps those souls chose to be the ones victimized to help everyone else that needs to see the world as it is.

It seems Archangels are more male and the normal Angels we see in art everyday are female. It could just be what they represent that steers people to give a certain type of Angel its appearance.
