Angels could be green

Angels are spiritual beings. They are not religious. But have a true relationship with God. They don't need rules, because any rules they would need are already part of there nature. I don't think angels have rituals they need to preform to honor God.

Also, most of Jesus's quarrels were against religious leaders. And he was spiritual, but not religious. A quality of green according to MaRo.

Also. Mathematics came from observing nature. Astronomy, biology, medicine, most advances in science somehow started in nature. Everything you come into contact in your everyday life? Once came from nature. So what's to say that all knowledge and wisdom came from nature? In the Christan doctrine, God created nature. And he even said he wanted mercy, not sacrifice. So, in my opinion, God is actually against organized religion. The biggest thorn in his sons side after all, were the religious leaders. Also, the bible basically says all LIFE comes from God. What color is about life? Green. Angels should be green, not white

god has nothing to do with it, angels represent purity, therefore white

Green is about purity too. It has a hatred of artifacts and enchantments. It is against all things unnatural. Green is basically how the world used to be, and thus is arguably purer than white

Green is one of the main colours of infect: impurity, white eradicates the impure

As much as I enjoy trying to relate things to Christian Theology, I doubt you can truly draw definite lines. That is, in a sense, why God does not want organized religion. I believe in Faith, not a religion. So in a sense I both agree and disagree here. But, that's where acceptance comes in. Good to see some Christian minded thoughts into magic though, seems rare.

The angels in Magic have nothing to do with biblical angels, they simply represent justice and protect those who can't defend themselves

More so than justice, they represent order.

Green is anti-order
hello? Have you looked at natural ecosystems undisturbed by man? Everything is balanced and one thing generally affects the other. There is a lot of inner connectivity with the way nature is set up, that if you take the time to just look. Than you see it. Take one species out of the picture. Things can start to go array. Even taking away a food source for one species, or even a population control species from another. Nature is Very, Very, Very orderly

Green is about inner connectivity. A green creature cares about others, and would indeed help another out. Therefore, it is not farflung that a green creature would protect other creatures

Forget the biblical argument I made then. I can do this all night, because I've thought about this so much, and have studied nature a lot

Your confirmation bias on this theory is border lining on cum hoc ergo propter hoc.

is there anything wrong with sharing ideas? I'm just responding to the arguments made logically. There's nothing wrong with free speech, or free ideas or wanting to start up an intelligent conversation when your tired of convo's with little depth to them

I never said anything to the contrary. Just pointing it out. Exercise your free speech/ideas all you want, I encourage it.
