  •  Do angels exist?

Yes. The Bible states that they were created by God. (Colossians 1.16, Hebrews 1.6-7)  Angels carry out God's orders.  Angels are mighty and they are never to be worshipped.

Colossians 2.18 states, "Let no man beguile (trick, deceive) you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshiping of angels..."

 

  • Can angels be seen?

Yes. The Bible records that angels were seen by men and women throughout the Old and New Testaments. The angels were always masculine in form and name--and mighty in description. (not small, cuddly, or feminine)

Two mighty angels are mentioned in the Bible specifically by name: Michael and Gabriel and the pronoun "he" or "him" is used with each of them.

Also, the name--The Angel of the Lord--is mentioned various times. Again the masculine pronoun is used.

There is no record of a female angel in the Bible.  The closest thing is two women with storks (unclean bird) wings carrying wickedness to Babylon (which the Bible states that God will destroy in Revelation). They were not referred to as angels and they were not godly. The Bible also states, "This is their resemblance through all the earth." (Zechariah 5.5-11)

 

  • Are all angels good?

 No. The Bible states that there are evil angels (Psalm 78.49) and that the devil, himself, can transform himself into an angel of light.

"For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.  and no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore, it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness, whose end shall be according to their works." (II Corinthians 11.13-15)

Remember, that there are false leaders and evil angels that appear good and beautiful in order to deceive and destroy a person.

In Christ,
