Yes? Why is your god needing more angels in heaven?

[Harsha Shah]

Yes, it is Harsha Shah and I am wishing everyone a happy new year, yes. I am hoping the these wishes are not offending you. Yes. We are still struggling with the pandemic covid and I am hoping that I am not offending you but I am now sharing with you some bad news. Yes.

One of my colleagues who would have been celebrating his 31st birthday soon was being very sick with covid and he had been opposing the vaccination. Very soon he was being admitted to intensive care and he was dying. Yes. Many people have now been saying that your god was having better use for him that god was needing another angel.

I have been thinking about this and I am hoping that I am not offending you, yes, but why is god needing angels if he is being an omnipotent being. Yes? What are the angels doing to him that he is being unable to do better himself is he is omnipotent? Yes? The family of this man was also needing him and they are not omnipotent, no they are not. I am thinking that this may be offending you but I am thinking that this is very disturbing, yes. I am admitting that my colleague was being stupid by not being vaccinated but to say that god would have been needing him is more stupid, yes? I am hoping that I was not offending you and that you will be having a good year. Yes.

No. The angels do the Lord's bidding. If the angels didn't do the Lord's bidding then the Lord would do it H... I mean, the Lord would do it Himself if He were so inclined. Look the point is no. No and I'll step aside to let the Pastors spell it out for you.

This is an example of a false belief held by people who only think that they know God.

People don't become angels when they die. They don't get wings slapped on their backs or halos shoved on their heads. People who are Saved® get admitted into the presence of The Lord when they die and people who aren't go to Hell.

Angels are a separate category of created beings than human souls. This is basic Biblical knowledge and apparently, it has seeped into meme culture, of all things. This would ordinarily be distressing to my sensitive soul, but I'm going to accept it as proof that we are, indeed, in End Times.

Yes, it is Harsha Shah here once more and I am answering you. I am hoping that I am not offending you. I am thanking Mr. Toole for his sad and beautiful answer. I am seeing that he is displaying the human condition of uncertainty that is of course what we all are experiencing. I am wondering if Mr. Toole is being familiar with the story of the blind men and the elephant: one is touching the belly and thinking that it is a boulder and another one is feeling the tail and mistaking it for a broom. Mr Toole is one of the men but is is losing all contact with the elephant and being lost in obscurity, yes.

I am also thanking Mrs. Handmaiden for her educated reply and I am asking if my colleague was not becoming an angel, what was taking place and she would comfort his distraught relatives, yes? He was a member of the Church of Scotland but not an active one and he was sometimes mentioning that he was still a believer to a higher power, yes. I am also agreeing with Mrs Handmaiden that angels are or course silly fairy tales but they could have been providing solace, yes? I am hoping that I am not offending you but I am thinking that many christians are not thinking very much when they are offering their words of comfort to those who are grieving. No.

Mrs. Shah--Neither you nor the ladies saying God needed more angels knew about this young man's private life. God punishes for both private and publicly observed sin.

I'm suspecting he was a secret masturbator or worse, a homer. That is why God gave him Covid. For certain it was not because he refused vaccination.

And sometimes Christians in name only cover for the sins of other so-called Christians. It may well be those who talked of angels knew about the dead guy's secret life of sin.

Just take it as a given that you are offending us. It will save everyone involved a great deal of time.

Miss Shah, are you familiar with the expression, "beating a dead horse"? Because you have been dragging out that "blind men and the elephant" story repeatedly. At this stage, there are no more intact elephant parts for the blind guys to misidentify. We are down to elephant molecules now and you must let it go. The elephant metaphor has outlived its usefulness. It is an ex-elephant.

I am also thanking Mrs. Handmaiden for her educated reply and I am asking if my colleague was not becoming an angel, what was taking place. . .

Death and subsequent damnation; that was what was taking place.

and she would comfort his distraught relatives, yes?

No. She would not.

He was a member of the Church of Scotland but not an active one and he was sometimes mentioning that he was still a believer to a higher power, yes.

If the fellow actually believed in a "higher power", then he should have checked on his source of information about that "high power". What did the "higher power" want? Were there any particular expectations in place regarding the "lower v higher powers" obligations to each other? Aren't you studying law or something? How hard is it to figure out? If you claim to believe in the God described in the Bible, then read the Bible and learn how to act on that belief.

I am also agreeing with Mrs Handmaiden that angels are or course silly fairy tales. . .

I never said that. My point was that people have silly ideas about what angels are like and those ideas do not come from the Bible.

. . . but they could have been providing solace, yes?

Well, there are many moving, comforting passages in the Bible. That is why vulnerable human beings turn to its pages. There are also many difficult, distressing passages which people choose to ignore because those instill the opposite of comfort.

I didn't write the Bible, but I will admit that it is challenging to read and following its instructions requires ceaseless, hyper-focused effort. This may be overwhelming for many people. The problem is that the Bible itself doesn't offer a "commitment-lite" option. Being a Christian isn't a part-time job that one works for a few hours a week to earn a few "extra" blessings. It is an all-or-nothing deal.

I am hoping that I am not offending you. . .

Again, you are. But I'm used to it by now.

. . . but I am thinking that many christians are not thinking very much when they are offering their words of comfort to those who are grieving. No.

These individuals may not actually be Christians, and chances are they aren't thinking very much, ever. Very few people seem to be doing very much thinking at all lately. My current project is getting used to that reality. Being Saved® from false beliefs gives me some peace of mind.
