Angels

[iawoveuooo]

I have been thinking about angels a lot and I am curious of your opinions. I have questions unanswered, like:

1. What can you say to people who try to contact or feel the presence of God’s angels, asking for help from them, while they themselves do not read the Bible and believe in Jesus as the Son of God? I have seen people practicing angel cards, attending ‘angel seminaries’ which are completely separate from the Bible, from the Lord Jesus Christ, angels are deprived from God as if they were separate, individual beings not created by Him?How can they be convinced that instead of God’s angels, according to the Scriptures, they encounter demons and not good angels? Many times they say that they believe in God, but they ignore what is written in the Bible and ignore that Jesus is the Son of God.
   2.What do the Church Fathers or early Church tradition say about God’s angels bringing messages to people in post-Biblical times? (after the NT message to Mary in which she was informed about the birth of Jesus)
   3.What seems to be the proper treatment of Satan’s angels (demons) when one encounters them for any reason? (I mean any kind of demonic activity, among which the one most concerning me is how to get rid of constant demonic attacks on personality traits, like selfishness, impatience,etc. if prayers alone do not seem to help)
   4.What was the most important message of Jesus meeting the Devil in the desert? What do you consider He was willing to teach us the most with His answers to him?

Any other, not mentioned topic connected to angels (Biblically or according to Church Tradition) is most welcome.

There are certainly people who believe in angels and who do not believe in Jesus… Jews and Muslims are prime examples. Although in these two examples, these people believe in ‘God’.

Jesus himself said he could call upon the choirs of angels. If we are to imitate Him, why not right? Well no… it is discouraged to communicate with the ‘other side’. We can however ask assistance through prayer… like our guardian angel. There are NT biblical accounts of angels interacting with people but, God initiated communications.

Perhaps in these moments you are called to pray that these people will understand Him through His angels.

It’s so strange for me when people do it, they believe in angels without thinking of the Creator of angels,where they come from?Do you know anything about their ideas of the origins of angels if they do not believe in them originating from God?
I would be very interested in the Jewish and also Muslim views about this if you could describe them for me.

Perhaps in these moments you are called to pray that these people will understand Him through His angels.

It was a good idea, thank you, I can imagine that God is calling me to pray for people who have encountered His angels (being interested in them I mean),to use this encounter as a means to acquire knowledge about God Himself.

They believe in the God of Abraham but they do not believe Jesus is God.
