Re: That is one weird answer... n/t
in reply to a message by Andy
It is just that I find it a lot more simple. Michael = "who is like God", meaning that Michael, the Arch angel, was created by God to His own image, warrior against evil, like God is, beautiful in image and character, like God is. Of all warriors and beautiful creatures, Michael is the one who comes closest to being like God. So when making it a rhetorical question "who is like God" you have 2 possible Answers, 1.- "no one is", for the belief that no one is like God or 2.- "I am" -since I was named after arch angel Michael, who is like God-The part I find weird (as in I don't get it) is this,
"implies: Only the living God could help me in my trouble of having no children"... (is that really implied?) and that neighbour story which is now, followed by Anneza's comparison to someone wanting his/her - son to go through life with a Yah! Boo! Sucks! name-...I never heard about Michael being a former god, so that is new to me. But again, there is that implication by Andy: RAFFAEL "God has healed (me from being childless)". All I see is "God has healed", be it healed for whatever specific case the parents see fit. Or maybe no reason at all. God has healed, because that is what He does...???It felt like I owed more to my comment than just leaving at "weird answer". By no means did I intend to be disrespectful :o)Magia.
