Do Angels Exist? (A miracle and a picture have many asking this question)
WBTV ^ | Dec 20, 2008

Posted on 12/20/2008 8:30:10 PM PST by Between the Lines

CHARLOTTE, NC (WBTV) - A "miracle" at one local hospital has a lot of people talking.

This picture was taken in the hallway leading into Presbyterian's Pediatric Cancer center.

A little girl there was taken off life support, her mother in her room praying. At the same time, a nurse noticed a man standing in the hallway. When she pushed the security button to let him in, no one was there.

According to a nurse, this happened several times -- seeing him behind the doors, then he would vanish.

Someone thought he had wings, so they took the picture (on the right) of the security camera.

The girl is home tonight, recovering. Her birthday is Christmas Day.

So what do you think? Is this an angel caught on tape?

1st Quote: “Or maybe, just maybe, it’s a reflection from the flourescent lights in the hospital highway.”

Reply Quote: “However, you can tell from the white reflections to the left that recede down the hallway that they have recessed rectangular lights, not visible florescent tubes. Look at the big yellow triangle. See the white rectangle reflecting on it? Those are the lights.”

**********************

If it were the lighting, the nurse would see “Angels” on that monitor all the time-— -:)

To these people, the “light man” was an Angel. Isn’t that good enough? LOL

Very interesting. The only way to know exactly what it was would have been to ask it who Jesus Christ is and what its relationship to Him is?

Yeah yeah, I know that’s kinda tough when it’s just a quasi-invisible LightMan. :-)

” If one doesn’t believe the photo because photoshop exists, you wouldn’t have believed it before photoshop because of malfunctioning equipment, lighting anomalies or whatever reason. And even before photos you would not have believed you own eyes.

Technology has not made us skeptical, skepticism has made us skeptical. “

Look, all we see in the picture is reflected light. Its broken up, and indicates nothing. What makes you think this is an angel? The lights could be anything. But to jump to the conclusion that this is an angel is ridiculous. The story could just as easily called it a ghost or sprites, or a UFO.

BOTTOM LINE: all we see is a blurry light. Nothing indicates anything else.

Or, maybe its a demon. They’re just fallen angels.
Satan can appear as an angel of light.

I’m under the impression that they were seeing a man standing there on the monitor, and kept opening the door to find no one. Finally they tried taking pictures of the monitor.

“Blessed are those who have not seen, and yet believe....:)”
We are also commanded to test the spirits.

I believe that God uses angels here on earth.
BUT I don’t believe that is a picture of one.

I have always had a feeling God sent me here for something. What that something is I don’t have a clue my guess is I will touch someone else’s life when he needs me to.
I have had two experiences in my life where I should either be in another world or banged up extremely bad. In both cases I walked away without a scratch and in my latter life experience with a lesson learned, Alcohol, Motorcycles and high speed just not a good idea… I have no doubt in my mind my garden angle has done Gods will and I reaped a benefit.

Yes Veronica Garden Angles are here.

Hmmm....human eyeballs and analog signals see a man yet a digital camera snapshot shows a “light phenomenon”.

Fascinating.

Different “wavelengths” visible only to certain technology?

Bottom line: its STILL a blurry light.

A light in the sky may be unidentified, but that does not make it a spaceship. You don’t know what is in that picture.
Interpret it as you will.
But nothing pictured indicates an angel.

Kinda hard to test something you can’t catch.

The kid lived.

Not enough of a test result for ya?....:)

[recall Christ’s word about a “kingdom divided” when the elders questioned *where* his miracles “came from”]

“But nothing pictured indicates an angel.”

And nothing pictured indicates not-an-angel.

Check mate.

I am not surprised that there is such an occurrance like this one. I think that it is probable that the man was the girl’s gaurdian angel.

“I’m under the impression that they were seeing a man standing there on the monitor, and kept opening the door to find no one. Finally they tried taking pictures of the monitor.”

and that makes him an angel how?

People believe this is an angel because they WANT to believe it is, not for any evidence presented. Its fun to claim this is an angel and not just a blurry light or reflection.
Its the willing suspension of disbelief.

You see the same disregard for the facts with UFO/conspiracy nuts. They WANT to believe their fantasies.

that said I DO believe in angels, I just have a problem with this being called an angel. Its just a light.
