How many Angels do we have?

Maria,

I ask a question, basically what David has pointed out. How does knowing the division and order of angels edify you in your walk with Christ? (Not picking on you. This is an honest question)

 

It is good to study the whole of God's Word. In His Word we find times where God uses angels to interact with man and to do His will. What is important to remember is that even in those instances that the account is not about the angels, but rather God and His interaction with man on our behalf. Angels there are only instruments, living beings, but instruments that He uses to accomplish His will.

 

As far as fallen angels I think we need to remember one basic truth. They are subject to the sovereignty of God and cannot act outside of what He permits. The classic example of this is when Satan comes before God in the Book of Job. He could not touch Job or his possessions without God's permission. Thus, we can spend tons of time seeking to become a demonologist (expert on demons) or we can seek to learn more about Jesus and His will and way for our lives.

 

Lord Bless,

LT

Yes that is very true I really don't like to talk about the fallen angels.

Maria,

Though you don't like talking about the fallen angels, they are a reality in our lives every day because that is who our war is with. So, I think we do need to be conscious of this.

I would love to know where in the Bible it states we have 2 angels. Always be ready to give an answer for your hope. Always check behind any teaching for you are the only one responsible for what you believe on judgement day. I never take a pastor's word for anything until I study it first, well, most of the time. As far as asking an angel in prayer, you might as well be praying to your coffee table. Angels don't answer any prayer. As far as the saints go, they are awesome men of God who led by example but do you realize that all Christians are saints? The ones that have gone before us are dead. The only thing we have left from them is the remembrance of them & their testimonies. We should not place them on the same pedestal as Christ. I pray you seek these truths for yourself. Sorry I sounded so harsh but the Catholic church really pulls out my worse. Luv u

Hun, there is no need to pray to an angel. You might has as pray to your living room coffee table. It brings the same results. St. Michael is like God? They really have taught you some very deceitful things dear. I would like to share some Scriptures but I am going to have to research all of this.

PS, please tell me the Scriptures all of this comes from? Michael is not a saint by the way. Angels will never know what it is like to be a saint because they will never receive salvation.

Nobody has taught me to be decietful, you not a christian i beleave you are an atheist, you believe what you want and i do the same on what my believe are i belive in god the father and jesus

St. michael is a archangel "Who is Like God", one question are you born again Christian or truly CATHOLIC, It sounds to me your A Christian and not a true Catholic, I am Catholic Try reading the "Book of Daniel" and  Book of Revelation all of it, it sound to me you have doubts in the lord

and Jesus. and i dont tell people that  there are not angel Most everyone that is online believe in angels, also go online website  Doreen Virtue and read her books,

Since you decided to send me this message, I thought I would place it here because nothing is hid in the dark but is shown in the Light. Again, I just ask that you please apply Scriptures to back anything said here. Dear, I'm not trying to insult you in the least. I just asked that you provide Scripture & then gave my beliefs on issues. This is a discussion forum. It's not an agreeing forum that we agree with everything that anyone says. I'm just discussing. I'm sorry if I offended you in any way. Insulting you definitely was not my goal. Now for the statements you made:

Praying to angels: then say Angel to north -angel to south- and angel to east and angel to west please protect me, i also ask st michael to protect me that is bad when i say this and i always get a chill or a  tingle  and i feel calm. This is your statement. I didn't just come up with it. 

Michael is nowhere like God. He is an angel. Yes, he is higher up the angel tree but he is still an angel & nowhere close to the Deity.

Here you say I'm not a Christian but an atheist. Now sure how u come up with that conclusion based on my questions or statements. I'm just basing it on the Holy Bible. I believe it from Genesis to Revelation & believe it is perfect & without error. I believe it's a sin for anyone to add to that word or take away from that word. I love the Lord with everything in me. I've been a Christian for 40 years. Yes, I have failed Him many times but He has always saw fit to restore me. Now, in the private email you sent me you said it sounds like I AM a Christian & not Catholic. That statement is absolutely 100% true. I base my life solely on the blood of Christ & His sacrifice for me. Three days later, He rose from the dead For this very reason, Christ died and returned to life so that he might be the Lord of both the dead and the living. romans 14:9. The things I said about the Catholic religion has to do with those in power, not those that follow them other then they should definitely research it for themselves. 

As far as Daniel & Revelation. I have done in depth studying of both of these books with Kay Arthur. 

As far as me saying there was no angels, you need to go back & reread my replies. I never said that. I said Michael was an angel & nowhere close to being like God. 

Again, I'm so sorry I offended you. Maybe I said what I believed too strongly. I was just stating my beliefs as you were. You have every right to question my beliefs as well. I will be more then happy to reply as the Lord leads. I've gone to look up those Scriptures. Be blessed

A thought did come to me just now. The Bible uses the angel of the Lord in the Old Testament. That was Jesus so this angel IS God.
