Guardian Angels-- Where did the Idea come from?

[TheSeeker2014]

I have always heard everyone has a Guardian Angel… and I have heard about Guardian Angels many times about different things…

My question is where did this idea come from? Is there a scripture reference?

---- I think I posted in the right place because many sects of Christianity believe in Guardian Angels

Here’s a nice overview from the Catholic Encyclopedia:

newadvent.org/cathen/07049c.htm

Angels are a Truth of Faith.
There are lots of good articles on Angels in the EWTN online library.
God bless.

They come from scripture when Jesus says every child has an angel in heaven who sees the face of his Farher
