Hey, I have started this thread asking a series of questions which will hopefully be answered and therefore hopefully shall rid my confusion.
I've been studying and researching the Angel of Death, and here are my questions:
In christian mythology, is his name Azrael?
Once you have cheated death, will it come after you? (If so, is it once, or repeatedley?)
Can your death be fixed in time?
Can you make a deal with the Angel of Death, e.g. challenge him to a game of rock, paper, scissors etc.
if he exsists which i suppose we can be certain if he does or not i dont think he comes after you if you cheat death. my friend was in a car crash where this truck had rolled over, half the car was crushed. he was fine.he got out of the car with a few sratches. as soon as he got out the truck moved and crushed the rest of the car.he wouldnt have died if he stayed in the car so i suppose you could say he cheated death. the angel of death never came after him. he shouldve died but he survived. i dont know if we will ever know all the forces that influence life and death (if there are any).
anyway hope you find the answers you are looking for.
To my knowledge Michael once upheld the post of angel of death until Azreal came to the mantle. (if you have any works that dispute this I would be eager to read them.)
Everything and everyone whom lives has a time to die. We all owe a death, and there is no getting out of it. Death isnt to be feared, it is one of the greatest changes we can experiance. We become totally at one with what we only taste when dreaming or astral traveling, going on to the next stages of existance following purpose.
One does not cheat death, if we manage to get ourselves out of a potentially lethal situation (warzones, hostage situations, animal attacks ect) we are not cheating anything or anyone, it is simple survival.
Thanks all so much x
But IceWarlock, your friend wouldn't have cheated death because he never knew it was coming.
You cheat death by having a sign that you are going to be involved in an accident etc.
But, I thought that the angel of death would come after you because in mythology, he has a book/scroll and he writes all thats born, and erases all thats next to die. If you cheat death, then you are screwing up his plans because he cannout move onto the next person untill the one on top of the list has died, right? So, I'm still a bit confused :S xx

I don't think anyone can cheat death, but we die and come back with lessons learned from dying. I died twice last year and came back from both with more knowledge then I had before. It did take me awhile to remember anything I had known before this happen. I did suffer memory loss, but when it did come back I knew more then I ever had.
Cheating death isn't really cheating it. It isn't like final fantasy where you literally cheat it then death comes after you.
When it is your time to go, you will go, whether you like it or not.
Obviously, it wasn't his friend's time to go.
Also, being able to see ahead of yourself and see possible ways you could die and avoiding them isn't really cheating death either.
I avoid taking electronics in the shower, is that cheating death?
I avoid downed powerlines, is that cheating death?
I avoid swimming alone, is that cheating death?
Honestly, avoiding stuff is common sense or being able to see possibilities. It is not cheating death.
Thanks Asphodelos, but I mean, if you have a premonition, and you cheat it, like on final destination and charmed. Could that happen, because your messing with death's list aren't you?
