You're a riot! With everything you know about the Church, you didn't know that?Aqualung said:Oh it is?!That's sort of embarrassing. Why is he playing a horn, though?
I don't know why he's playing a horn. Maybe angels do that... you know, to announce something really wonderful -- like the restored gospel of Jesus Christ. :jiggy:

Gosh. I'm ashamed. While we're at it, though, why do they always have that portrait of that random guy, who's like from the 1800s, in the Books of Mormon?!Katzpur said:You're a riot! With everything you know about the Church, you didn't know that.

It was only funny because I just finished posting a PM to our newest LDS forum member, "Beckysoup61." I told her the names of all the LDS posters on the forum and mentioned that you were the only other female member besides me. I told her you're a recent convert, but that you are SO knowledgable about the Church! And then you came up with that question. :biglaugh:Aqualung said:Yeah, don't worry. I was just making a comparison. That thing about the statue was almost as dumb as that fake question. I'm kind of dumb, sometimes, and I try to mask that with jokes.

Oh, so you're the culprit! Just FYI... cherubs are naked baby angels who shoot arrows into people's hearts to make them fall in love. Moroni is a fully-clothed male angel -- like Gabriel.SnaleSpace said:Thanks Katz, I was the troublesome bandit who wondered about the horn playing cherub

meh...
Short answer - it is representative of the angels mentioned in Revelation - specifically the one that is "flying in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel" - I'm paraphrasing because it is late and I have to go to bed. Also, I think some of the angels mentioned there have horns.
That's as good as I can do tonight

Wow! I never thought this question would take such a serious turn. I think SoyLeche's right.SoyLeche said:Short answer - it is representative of the angels mentioned in Revelation - specifically the one that is "flying in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel" - I'm paraphrasing because it is late and I have to go to bed.

Revelation 9:13-14 states: "And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God, Saying to the sixth angel which had thetrumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates."
My commentary on Revelation says that the sounding of the trumpet is the preparing and finishing of God's work... the preparing of the way before the time of Christ's coming. (See D&C 77:12)
