Hank, there are the Sepherim.
Those are fiery reptilians angels that serve "God".
Its Jewish and Christian. (the latter is not as familiar, but its there)
So the Bible can be one source, Im sure others sources will be pointed out also.
(For those needing reference, ask your local Sephardic Rabbi...meaning, Im not coming up with some idea off the top of my head for those not familar
with this.

)
The Jewish tradition doesn't have any reptilian firey angels, nor are the seraphim described as reptiles. They are described as humans with four
faces -- read the bible for youself and you'll see this is so.
edit 2:
You made the statement, "The Jewish tradition doesnt have any fiery angels"...
May I ask, are you a practicing, Orthodox, Sephardic, Jew, taught in Yeshiva/Kollel, etc." Are you a rabbi who can in-turn argue with the rabbi who
told me this?
What are your sources?
My point, simply is...your making as general of a statement as I am concerning this.
Whos sources has more clout? (Doesnt matter, read on.)
Sorry, I have been extremely sick all week.
Despite that, I have actively been writing, yet not all my energy is in there to perhaps give some of the stuff the punch it needs.
The fact is I do read the Bible for myself, you will again have to forgive my reponces, even as I woke up this morning I am still weak from
sickness.
The Bible says a lot more than what Christians understand, and the fact is, I understand the Christian theology inside and out. Check out my blog.
Maybe eventually you will see some answers to your questions.
But dont be quick, coming from a Christian perspecitve, to knock an idea thats not familar. (Your free to, of course) There is a lot more going on
then what most Christians realize. With that I will close, I know it will not help you with this case, but I stick with what I said about the
reptilian angel.
edit: to clarify, I do not expect you, or anyone to believe that the Bible teaches this if you dont find it. I am sharing however, with you,
information that was passed to me by a orthodox, sephardic rabbi...whose understanding is by far better than most Christians.
Again, Byrd...before saying read for myself...(yes I took offence to it), as I can promise you, I have read it, and know it better than the people
teaching other Christians. And most Christians only know their doctrine, they dont even read...I mean really read.
Heres one, the jewish concept of reincarnation. Thats hinted at the new testament when they asked John if he was Elijah. Yes, I know the Christian
arguments about what it meant. Why not check out what Judaism believed then. (Christians dont konw anything about Jewish tradition.) For the past 2000
years, reincarnation has been an integral part of Judaism. (and thats not bogus, you need a rabbinical list? If you do read my blogs, Im sure you will
get one as that topic will probably be covered.)
Now Im not saying that I believe either which way, but Byrd...I do understand, and read, and know more of the backstory than what you give me credit
for. Dont be to quick to judge what I know, I will suprise you...I have run with the best, and had answers (from Judaism), that they could not fathom
otherwise. (Christianity was bred out of the Jewish tradition after all.)
What I write now...its a tip to the ice berg, and frankly I dont feel like going on about it here. Before you debate Jewish/Christian teachings with
me, read by blogs, over time you may see puzzles going together.)
With that I will rest.
Oh, what was your definitive source, with refernce, about them not being fiery reptilan angels? (Now I know if I give you a responce from the Talmud,
etc. that wont be good for a Christian, some things actually tie things together better. But the whole point is not to argue religion...I dont really
have any use for it in the "normal" sense.
Now that I have dealt with your attack of me not reading for myself what the Bible says, along with the implications that come with that...(yeah, you
hit a button)
Here is the point which I will rest my case for this thread.
The point was to show that various "traditions" ARE talking about the whole reptilian thing, way before the whole "reptilian craze"
begin...brought about by Icke, who only gathered info from different religions from long ago, and put it together in books, as I said, with his own
thoughts along with it.
If you dont want to take my example of the fiery reptilian angels...fine.
But how can you ignore the very beginning of Genesis as another source?
Forget the fiery reptilian angel, here you have a talking snake, with feet/hands, etc. running about a garden tempting people.
Now if you say its all symbolic, well that open to theology...thats not the point here...The point is to show, for this thread, that the idea of
reptilians, is not new. Thats it.
Peace
