I tried to feed him. But his message was for me, not me for him. It was just a means of getting my attention. I had planned to commit suicide that day. In our small rural town we never have beggers at corners. My husband had seen him on his way through the intersection an hour before me. When I saw him, we used to be truck drivers, I always made it a habit to pray, but I was just a religious Christian then, and on this morning, I felt an overwhelming need to take the only $2.10 in my pocket and go to Hardees and buy him a biscuit and a drink, so that's what I did. He didn't even open it up. I told him I sure was glad he was there, I needed the reminder of just how much I had in life and he said that's why I've been waiting on you. I called my husband and he happened to be going back through the intersection and I told him what I had just done, we're only talking a couple of minutes, and he said, well, he's gone now. I said I know, he was an angel, because when you got home tonight I would have been dead. My family got me where I could get help and I've had little to no depression since. Angels aren't my servants at all, they are God's servants and I doubt they serve Islam, as they don't serve Jesus Christ and Christ knew he could call down the angels and save him from the cross, but that wasn't what God wanted him to do either. So, what would I say to all that you ask - if you won't hear my story and believe, and you probably won't, then ask the creator of the angels, God himself - when in doubt go to the source - and you're right not all angels on earth are fallen or evil - but a 1/3 of the heavenly angels fell to earth and we can't know how many a 1/3 are and they are evil, that's why we have the Holy Spirit to give us discernment.

My advice would definitely be to NOT try to kill him-you'd be P-ing in the wind! Hebrews 1 (especially verses 13 and 14) and Psalms 103:20 would be agood places to read about angels and how they fit in the "big picture".
Also read Genesis 6; in the KJV, Genesis 6:2 uses the term "sons of God" to refer to the angels who fell with Satan. This verse also says that they began mating with the women here on Earth. This is the reason that God had to destroy all human beings besides Noah and his family in the Flood; because God knew that with this supernaturally-evil "seed" inplanted in the human race, it would be impossible for Him to find an un-tainted family lineage through which to bring the Messiah (Jesus).

Neither. I would ask why it made itself visible to me. Is there something I should do? Is there something I should avoid? Does the angel have a message from God? Angels are considered servants because they protect people still on earth.

How would I know it was an angel? If I could know, I would neither kill nor bow to him/her, as both are against my principles. I'd invite him/her for a coffee (not expensive Starbucks, but the 10 cent kind) and see what I could learn from him/her.

Angels to my knowledge have never lived on earth...and to say that they didn't follow God is like saying you were born, but you don't believe in your mother...He created them. Angels are on a higher plane than humans, but we do not bow to them. There is no one higher than God if you adopt this belief system.

Angels do not 'live' on earth. But they do move between heaven and earth and they do communicate with God about people.
They often cause us to go to people to help them....but it is inspired not pushed. We frequently encounter people who tell us they have prayed for us to visit them. That is just one of the reasons that Jehovah's Witnesses are so strong in their faith.
Nearly everything done against us, makes us stronger.
We KNOW he answers prayers because we frequently are used for that purpose by him. He is an active, living God.

Neither--why should I?
Only 1/3 are Fallen angels.
Only bow to THE GOD!

I bow to none except God.
Even in the Bible you see people bowing to angels & then getting rebuked for doing so.
Plus- you can't kill a spiritual being.

i would do neither. Why is it a this or that answer? If I came across an angel is human form (and i was actually enlightened enough to realise this) i would proberbly be awe struck.

Angels are not God, and angels can bear horrendous news, I would take the sight of the angel as an affirmation of faith and move on.
