   I see Herodotus with the abacus. Galileo with the telescope.
   Newton with the apple. Edison with the light bulb. Bell with the telephone. Gutenberg with the printing press. Albert Einstein is talking but who are the other ones. Thaves is trying to educate us again.

   And my mother said it was a waste of time to read the funny’s!

   James Watt with a steam engine in the back. the Chinese person (name unknown) with the compass, probably invented around 210 B.C. I’m guessing the guy with the hoe represents the invention of agriculture. Upper left is the invention of the wheel and geometry.

   Possibly Archemedes with the protractor and triangle.

   I see that Bell is the only one without a halo. I guess that was why he was always saying ‘Hello, hello?”.

   I’m happy enough that technology has progressed enough for me to read all the comics I want online.

   Is that “angel” who is talking “Albert Einstein?”

   I find it amusing that news reporters on TV assume that all of their viewers have home computers and access to the internet, too.

   I don’t have a cell phone; so, I don’t “Twitter.”

   Wings and halos on angels and deceased human beings actually come from extra-biblical sources.

   Wings are never mentioned when the words, angel and angels” are in the scripture texts.

   Some know-it-all theologians decided that cherubs were angels; but, if you ask them to prove angels have wings by showing you evidence in Scripture, they can’t do it.

    Spirit creatures do not have material bodies with literal wings, faces, hands, feet, or other body parts.

    We usually depict angels with wings because of the symbolic descriptions found in the Bible.

    There are 2 ranks of angels in the bible Seraphs and Cherubs.

    Angels seen in visions did not always look the same. The seraphs that Isaiah saw had six wings. (Isaiah 6:1, 2)

    Ezekiel saw cherubs that had but two faces, one of a man and the other of a lion with wings. (Ezekiel 1:5-11

    Above the Ark (and its lid) in Solomon’s temple stood two larger gold-covered cherubs, each having two outstretched wings.—1 Kings 8:6-8

    As someone pointed out recently, the original Star Trek postulated communicators the size of a deck of cards that you could flip open and speak to people. We now have cell phones that do that–and also access the internet, tell where you are on the planet, send text messages, play games, etc. Science fiction has been surpassed by real life!

    But, it is theologians who decided that the Cherubs in the scriptures which you cited were “angels.”

    Seraphs are NOT angels and neither are Cherubs.

    When either of those types of heavenly beings are mentioned in the Scripture, the word “angel” is NOT used.

    While there are ranking of the heavenly beings which LORD God created, the beings without wings who also look like NORMAL adult humans are the angels.

    Seraphs are members of the group that fly around the throne saying the same thing over and over.

    poppy1313, have you really read and studied the Scriptures using the inductive study method and did not use preconceived ideas and the thoughts of theologicans in your study?

    If you had not been told or had not read somewhere that Cherubs and Seraphs were angels before your read those scriptures in context, you probably wouldn’t even guess they were.

    ^On Star Trek, after they landed in a strange place, they never had any trouble finding a cell tower and they never had to worry about roaming charges. That’s what made it Science Fiction.
