About 5 are pretty consistent but the specific ones change from sect to sect. For example Zadkiel isn't always in the seven but often is.
Yeah, Gabriel, Michael, Uriel, and Raphael are pretty much always in the seven.

@DarkwolfX37

You tend to claim that there are these great differences, but I have yet to see a source.

Thank you.
See this is what I'm trying to find out, now that I've actually got christians on call to compare against.

For reference, I've never heard the idea that there were only 3 archangels before, so that's interesting.

@DarkwolfX37

I mean, we never even hear those other names in the Bible. Gabriel, Michael, and Lucifer are literally the only named angels.

@Etcetera

That's because I don't cite the names of sects in my notes.
One great difference is that apparently there are sects that only have 3 archangels, when the most common version is that archangel is one of the classes of heavenly beings, in Christianity the top rank whereas it's in the bottom... I think it's the third lowest in Judaism? Definitely in the bottom five. Just checked, it was third lowest. Only above Angels and Powers.

@Disdain

That's fair. I'd just never heard that idea before. Thanks again.

Some obscure cult that a dude made in Carolina or something doesn't count as a sect. It's not like we work with different books, just different interpretations.

[Intrepid]

All this talk had me curious. Apparently, the name I was going to use as ES's real name is that of a Judaic archangel.

@Dynamics

A lot add in things that you don't consider canon. You, as a sect that uses only a single version (KJ, right?) of the bible and tries to interpret it as literally as possible, are more rare than common.

@Intrepid

Oooh. What name?

[DarkwolfX37]

<Snipped quote by Intrepid>

@DarkwolfX37

Wait no don't tell me just tell me what they represent/govern.

@DarkwolfX37

Nobody uses KJV anymore. I believe it was determined that ESV is the most accurate.

[Intrepid]

@DarkwolfX37

According to a quick search... "justice, fairness, harmony and vengeance."

That's good. I just thought I remembered you using KJ.

@Intrepid

Niiiiiiiice.

[Ignacious]

<Snipped quote by Ignacious>

Sorry about that, man. I don't really have an idea of what that feels like, but I sympathize with you regardless.

@Intrepid

Like I said, no biggie. Thanks though.

@DarkwolfX37

It's sometimes fun to read, but a bad translation.

@DarkwolfX37

I take it that you know it, then.

@Intrepid

It's almost definitely in my notes somewhere but not off the top of my head. I just like how you happened to name him after the angel of justice and vengeance when he's literally an evil Sven.

David did you miss my post IC or are you just waiting before responding?
