There is some debate over whether the "their" is supposed to mean "the angels of the little ones," or "the angels of heaven" (as opposed to those that were cast out). Apparently the meaning is not as clear in the original text.<br /><br />The first meaning has been preferred because there appear to be other verses in the bible that could be seen to support such a view, hence the idea of a "guardian angel" was never really seen as something worth fighting over on the part of the Church.<br /><br />Interesting stuff!Paul Griffinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11266956202232070017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-14449349197434580022015-05-12T17:43:12.197-07:002015-05-12T17:43:12.197-07:00Julie, that's an interesting idea.
There is c...Julie, that's an interesting idea.<br /><br />There is certainly a connection between our guardian angels and us, and yet how much more of a connection, indeed a relationship when we acknowledge and speak to them.<br /><br />I mean, if we know they are real, why wouldn't we seek to know more about them?<br /><br />And what better way than to communicate with them? and to learn about that connection.<br /><br />Obviously, without idolizing them or ourselves.<br /> However, I have the utmost respect for my guardian angel I tell you what.USS Ben USN (Ret)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07492369604790651538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-84379779541586231162015-05-12T17:35:44.491-07:002015-05-12T17:35:44.491-07:00"The question is not "to be or not to be..."The question is not "to be or not to be," but rather, to not be, to be somewhat, or to really be."<br /><br />That was be-youtiful, Bob.<br /><br />USS Ben USN (Ret)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07492369604790651538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-12803208977069606332015-05-12T14:39:37.517-07:002015-05-12T14:39:37.517-07:00I'm liking all this angel talk.
