Please consider this as you read the scriptures.

Where Life came from
Why Life exists
Your purpose for being here
Why is there so much evil here

· God created everything
· His first Creation was one Begotten Son; other creations followed.
· Other sons of God were created by Him, (myriads of them)(sons of God, spirits, angels).
· They dwell in His Domain ( the third Heaven)
· A rebellion occurred in this Heaven and one son, Lucifer (angel), due to his pride, was removed and cast to this planet, Earth,
in this universe. A third of the others sons (spirits) followed.
· Vegetarian and carnivorous creatures were here in an earlier earth age.
· It ended in wickedness and a flood and remained void of life.
· Genesis: God and His sons (angels, spirits) in God’s heaven, decide to re-create the planet earth. (Another earth age)
· Thus: The history is in the first book in the Bible. (note Gen:6)
· They re-create a nice Earth.
· Then God has a Plan to test His beloved sons, that He loves, that left His domain and followed Lucifer, and now want to return. He created flesh, in His likeness, for them to dwell in; (our spirit) to Be Born of Water (woman) and live a short life on the re-created planet Earth, to see if they, without former memory, will freely choose Him as their FATHER. (we must be born of water and the spirit to enter into the kingdom of God) ( John 3:5 ) If the soul (person) chooses God, to know Him and love Him, his spirit is born anew and He will come into a relationship with Him as ‘Father.’
· God, who is Spirit (Holy), with the help of his angels (Gen 1:26, Gen 3:22), created different races of men and women and told them to multiply; then ‘they’ create another race of man, called Adam (ruddy colored) with the knowledge to cultivate and grow food...
· Then the Testing began.
· In the Garden of Eden, Lucifer appears as a beautiful male angel (A shining one) and beguiles (seduces) Eve and Adam. Eve conceives 2 sons; at least one or both are the seed of Lucifer. Punishment from God comes upon our first ancestors (the woman will have pain during childbirth, and her desire will be towards her husband (Who did Eve have a desire for if not Adam??); the man will have to work hard for his food) and all this we inherited. (Cain and Able are twins-Heteropaternal superfecundation’ . (Eve continued in labor and bore Abel.) Twins can have two different fathers. Neither sons’ are listed in Adams genealogy. ( Genesis 5) (????)
(One brother killed the other out of jealousy)
· Jealousy=hatred=murder has existed from the beginning of this Earth Age. This is why we have war and………..evil.
· God had a plan, and His only begotten Son, first of all of His creation, (Colossians 1:15) was willing to Bring His Father’s Word to mankind, live in a flesh body, lead a sinless life, do all good things, and because of Jealousy from Lucifer and his offspring, (Satan’s Seed), agreed to be painfully crucified (as prophesied), as a payment, in order to Buy back the fallen spirits inside our temporary bodies. He became our Redeemer, Savior, co-Creator, and King. Through Him, Jesus, and His Father’s Words, we can now Know and Choose to Know our Father. (intimately)
(John 17:3 - ‘and this is eternal life, knowing the Father and His Son, Christ Jesus’.)
· We will have an Eternal Home and Eternal life, when we shed this body of flesh. We will have a spirit body, like Jesus did after He resurrected, that will never get sick or die and return to our Father in Heaven as one of His children. We will be known by those there that knew us before. ( I Corinthians 13:12) (He knew us before we were born here! (Jeremiah 1:5 -“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born”) ( born of water/woman)
· If we choose this Relationship here, while still in these bodies, is there ‘marriage between man and woman’, after leaving these bodies and being resurrected to eternal life? Jesus was asked this question. His answer: (Matthew 22:23 - “you will be like the angels.”
· God’s Son, Jesus (as we know Him), rose from the dead, 3 days after burial, and was seen by over 500 people at one time and walked, talked and ate with them 40 days. They Watched Him ascend above the clouds, with other angels, until they could no longer see Him.
· He said He would return in the same manner as they saw Him leave. (John: 14 “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God, believe also in me. [SUP]2 [/SUP]My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? [SUP]3 [/SUP]And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. [SUP]4 [/SUP]You know the way to the place where I am going.”
· He said He will return ……….You will have to read the Bible to see why……signs to when He will return……and all your other questions. His Holy Spirit is our Teacher and will give you every answer to every question you ask.
· John 15:7 “If you abide in Me and My Words (Father’s Words) abide in you, ask Anything and it will be done for you.”

Our purpose here on Earth: To develop a Relationship with our Father (God) through Jesus, His son, who makes the way for us to go back to our Father for eternity.

I believe 'angels' (spirits, sons of God etc) are God's first creation, with Jesus as His first and only Begotten Son; the first of His creation.

After prayer this is what I believe God showed me throughout last year:

I think God's first creation was His only Begotten Son, who was with Him in the creation on Earth.
There are many other 'sons of God' (angels, spirits) mentioned throughout scripture, working as 'messengers'
to those on the earth.
After much prayer, with confirmation, this is what I see:
[This in no way changes His plan for salvation]

I have a guardian angel, and I was able to take a photo of him the one time he materialized in physical form.

The photo I took is below.



Apparently my guardian angle is a Canadian Mountie made out of lego. But as long as he does his job protecting me (and he doesn't fall apart into multiple pieces) then I won't complain about his less-than-majestic appearance!!!

I don't think I do... I've never felt the presence or seen anything that made me believe that I had one.

I always feel like I'm being watched over, and I know it's the Lord but do you think each of us has an guardian angel ?
Penknight, absolutely!! We each have guardian angels assigned to watch over us day and night!! They are always vigilant and always near us. They are always on the lookout for danger or unsafe situations. God used angels in the Bible. He still uses them today and will continue to do so!! :)

This bible verse might interest you.

:cool: The gospel according to Matthew 10:18 See that you never despise one of these little ones. I assure you, their angels in Heaven constantly behold my heavenly father's face.

This bible verse directly states that children have angels assigned to them. When those children grow up, do their angels leave them? I think not. ^_^

These are Jesus's words, now.
Nowhere in scripture does it say people are signed individual angels. The passage you posted is a misinterpretation. One thing to think about is if we have our own angel then do we have our own demon as well?

"Their angels" in heaven doesn't at all say children have their own person angel. It is stating angels as a wholee. If it said "their angel" in heaven then you may have an argument, but it does not.

Giving credit to guardian angels is discrediting Gods power to look over us. God doesn't need angels to watch over us. He can do that himself. God uses angels as he uses us, and he uses them to minister to us. This doesn't mean we have our own angel. There is no scriptural basis for it, and it tempts one to worship angels instead of God.

Where in the bible does it say they are always near us? Even Matt 18:10 states angels are in Heaven

If they always look out for us in unsafe situations then why do bad things still happen to people? Do they have a lazy angel?

Elizabeth, I've had many times that I felt angelic presences nearby. I'm sure alot of people here can say the same. If I'm correct, did'nt God send an angel to be with David while he was in the lion's den? :) Bad things happen in life; they're supposed to because God has a purpose for everything that happens to us. God used angels to comfort people in bible times. He does the same today. :) You sound very cynical and skeptical. I will pray for you that god will turn you into a believer in angels. :)

Psalms 34:7 seems to indicate there is some sort of angelic protection for those whom fear the the Lord.

THE angel of the Lord may not necessarily be one specific angel known as THE angel of the Lord.
Rather any angel God sends is His, and is the angel of the Lord. <--Possibly?

Psalm 34:7
The angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear him, and delivers them.

Well, in Hebrews 1, angels are described as 'ministering spirits, sent to minister to them that shall be heirs of salvation'.

i think sometimes God let's bad things happen to us for a reason, even if we don't understand it. Maybe the angels are only allowed to help when they are told. That's why they aren't always there to help us. Just my guess.

Hebrews 12 says we've come to the heavenly Jerusalem. of which has an innumerable company of angels. In the heavenly city we're in now, we're surrounded by an innumerable company of angels.

21 And so terrifying was the sight that Moses said, “I am exceedingly afraid and trembling.”[a])
22 But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, to an innumerable company of angels, 23 to the general assembly and church of the firstborn who are registered in heaven, to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of just men made perfect,


So it's not that we have AN angel.
We're surrounded by an innumerable company of angels.
And who's in charge of all of that?
God!

It's not about the angels, it's about God.

FELT an angelic presence? The bible tells us not to be guided by our feelings and what you "feel" does equal what God says. The bible also says Satan can present himself as an angel of light. So warm and fuzzy feelings isn't evidence of an angel and one should never give credit to them. One should always give credit to God.

David wasn't in the lions den. Daniel was. When God protected him daniel said "god sent HIS angel" he didn't say "god sent MY angel" even though an angel protected Daniel that isn't evidence that the angel was his own personal angel. There's no evidence of that.

I never once said I don't believe in angels. I most certainly do. I don't believe in worshipping them.

You may want to read my post, which is #3 on page 1, which contains bible references to prove you wrong.
