Talk:Flaming sword

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] A "magic" sword in the Bible ?

A flaming sword is a magic sword glowing with flame, such as might be employed by characters in the game Dungeons and Dragons. According to the Bible, a Cherub with a rotating flaming sword was placed by God at the gates of Paradise after Adam and Eve were banished from it (Genesis 3:24).

It is at least controversial. The definition should be split in two: 1. magic sword 2. Biblical sword

Any "magic" that exists in The Bible is considered to be workings of Satan. The power of God and Angels is by no means believed to be 'magic'. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Critto (talk • contribs) .

• I hope "supernatural" is a more acceptable term. Kappa 21:16, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

Any chance for a source on Eastern Orthodox beliefs that the sword around Eden was removed when Jesus was born? I can't think of anything Biblical about that assumption and i've never heard of an idea like that before :/ Homestarmy 21:18, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

• Good question, I've added a {{fact}} tag and {{Christianity-stub}}, that might help find someone who would know about it. Kappa 21:22, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
