    I first read “horses don’t all wear capes” and was very confused. I mean, they wear blankets, but rarely capes

    When you reach middle age, you begin to realize that just a single act of kindness can have a cascading effect of good things.

    And the opposite can literally ruin your social life.

    Be kind. Be respectful. If you see an opportunity to do something kind for a complete stranger, do so, without expectation of reward.

    It’s worth it.

        Yes, that’s what the Bible says.

        Or do you believe men become saints, and women become nothing because they aren’t people? Or maybe just Christianity isn’t real

            To conclude: “saints” once designated Israel as the people of God (e.g., Lev 20:26; Num 16:3; Psa 34:9; Dan 7:18, 21-22, 25-27), but in the gospel era it applies only to those within Israel whose faith in Jesus shows them to be Abraham’s children—and also to Gentile believers, since they too are Abraham’s offspring (Rom 4:11-17; 9:6-9; Gal 3:7-9, 26-29).

            If you believe angels are somehow better yet receive the same rank, where does that come from? Not women… Some records show they are men as well. But in the end. Angels and Saints were people, who followed God’s word

              Got it, so you don’t have a citation, because it doesn’t say what you think it says.

              Literally nowhere does it say that angels are people. You’re making this up. Just accept that you’re wrong.

              And for the record, I’m not Christian - I just have basic literacy in their lore.

                Its not a colt I just believe it’s real because someone told me too. Evidence: none. Realism: none. Call other people less because they don’t believe in imaginary people: high. There is no evidence they exist. So how could be there evidence they don’t exist. Just like bigfoot. The logic is sound. You worship bigfoot. Bigfoot says your should bow and respect something he didn’t agree with 500 years ago? Still true. Let’s run with it.

                  Also if you want evidence it’s true I wrote it above. I’m just as qualified to say that’s the word of God as anyone who chose every other 30,000 versions of Christianity in the U.S. if you think that’s unfair, declare all of them obsolete and go back to the original text you couldn’t read and a man told you you shouldnt have to be able to read it you should just fall to your knees and bow and worship like the obidient person they want

                  My guy, I literally told you that I’m not Christian. I don’t believe in angels, or gods, or any of that stuff.

                  You said a simple thing: the bible states that angels are dead women. Yet you can’t show a citation for it saying that. I don’t have to believe in any of that Bible stuff to tell you “no, it doesn’t say that”.

                  You sound like you have actual problems though. Have you considered talking to a specialist? Something ain’t right.

      When you become an adult, you’ll look back on this edgy, shitlord nihilism, and realize how stupid it sounds.

      I’m not shitting on you, we were all there once.

      It gets better, but you have to make an effort.

          I actually really like this summary which goes through all the references in detail. It raises one great point in particular, even if you don’t want to get into the linguistics of gender in Greek (which also disagree with you unfortunately). The only two named angels in the Bible are Michael and Gabriel, both of which are male. The rest of it is a fascinating look at angelology in the Bible though (which has been a big hobby of mine since converting to gnosticism. Its wild knowing more about the Bible now that the catholic church thinks I’m a witch).

          Where in the Bible does it state that Angels are dead women?

          Give up, you sound stupid. Quit, now.

          Edit: After looking at your posting history, you’re a Right Wing troll.

          Goodbye. It’s not a good luck. Go outside, and meet a nice girl/boy. Good luck

            So women don’t exist, you sound like a “god” damn idiot child. Grow up and learn something about the Bible. Or realize it’s fallacy.

            “Quit, now”

            Please tell me how a man becomes a saint by doing the right thing, and a women doesn’t become an angel? They are the same in heaven according to your crazy story. Or are they just all rape babies forced to become women like a jealous god he describes himself as?

            A murderer, a rapist, an unjust cares for nothing person. That’s what the Bible describes him as. Go ahead, defend him
