Feathers falling down during Church service

Post by Bump » Thu Mar 05, 2009 10:19 am

Has anyone heard about church members claiming that during their services, feathers started falling out of the air coming from no where. They are calling them angel feathers. I would like to know what you all think of that (if you have heard of it). I was told Bethel Babtist in Redding California had it happen as well as the Vineyard church in Albany Oregon. Bump

do angels molt?

there are quite a number of things about Bethel that I like but this sounds a little odd- not impossible, just odd. feathers never seem to fall at Baptist churches (or mine).

i found this website ( i know nothing about this site) that discusses this phenomenon.

apparently one person has presented feathers which turned out to be bird feathers(which did not dissaude his insistence that they were angel feathers); no one else has submitted samples for verification.

The idea that angels have feathers is predicated on the assumption that angels have wings. Neither of these anatomical features are ascribed to angels in the scripture. In the article links by TK, one person said that she had felt an angel wing brushing her. This seemed to me like a great example of culture following art. In the seventies, there was a worship song (which I could not bring myself to sing) that contained the line, "I can hear the brush of angel wings; I see glory on each face." Interestingly, in the seventies, no one was seriously claiming to have had physical contact with angels' wings (or feathers). The song was just a feel-good romance—not intended to be taken literally. However, the song, apparently, has inspired somebody's imagined experience. If angels are really brushing people with their wings, perhaps the angels themselves were inspired to do so by the imagery of the seventies song? It just took them four decades to figure out how to do it, perhaps.
