Is an "ANGEL" also a GOD?

Answer 1

Hi Ysabelle,

An angel is not also a God. Angels are messengers for God and they serve that purpose. There are different types of angels and different roles, but angels serve either God or Satan (1/3 of the angels followed Satan during the rebellion and they are demons).

Hope that helps. Kindly,

Nickster

Answer 2

Hmmm, once again the religious are out in force, and I am asked ( literally this time ) to thread where angels fear to go.

People, please, just because you have a religious faith, that does not convey the right to disrespect other viewpoints. When we do so we are actually saying that our 'faith' is rather a weak thing, and we feel threatened by any other 'faith'.

Christianity does not hold sovereign rights to either the term 'God', or those other beings who have been described as 'angels'. These phenomena have been part of the cultures of countless societies all around the world.

Now, let me suggest, if I may, another perspective. Any entity that arrives out of ( apparently ) nowhere, equipped with a higher 'technology' than a native and indigenous population, what we tend to call 'primitive', could appear to be 'godlike' figures, i.e. their 'powers' could seem 'supernatural'.

When the Spanish arrived in the 'New World' they were perceived as exactly this, they had ships, the size of which had never been seen, they had horses, beasts so big that a man could ride atop them, and they had iron, weapons and the like. They could strike down a man who only had a wooden spear or club with impunity.

In short, the classic perception of 'godness'.

I believe that we human ( referring to the energetic part ) manifest in various forms, and that we exist outside of the homo sapiens monkey suit. I believe that many of us are concerned with matters here on Earth, even when we are not physically manifested here.

It is these entities that I would consider to be the most likely source of the 'angel' manifestations. Still us, in a different form.

Furthermore I believe that many thousands of years ago, after some cataclysmic events on Earth surrounding the melt down of the last great 'Ice Ages', primarily the Worms ( in Europe ) and the Wisconsin ( in North America ). I refer to a time roughly 18,000 bc to 13,000 bc.

This meltdown was so violent that some extraordinary movements and destruction took place. Much evidence of this exists around the world.

In what seems like a 'coincidence' virtually all traces of our modern civilisations ( I am not talking about cave-dwellers ) start after this time. In a further and even more extraordinary event, all of our domesticated species of plants and animals date from around the same time, with little or no evidence of any 'ancestor' genetic stock that could have led so rapidly to so profound a set of changes.

So......what could we deduce from this ?

That some kind of 'outside' agency had a hand in helping us re-establish human society.

About the same time most of the modern 'God' figures started to emerge in various societies.

I suggest that many of the 'God' figures were, in fact, 'angels' i.e. non-homo sapiens based entities, who came to help their physical brethren, but got tempted by the pleasures of physicality and the lure of the power of god-like status.

Hence the stories of the 'fallen angels', and hence the stories like in Genesis "and the sons of God looked upon the daughters of men and said we will take them as wives" etc etc.

The original 'God' of Judeo-Christianity as per Genesis, was a worthy candidate for the Creator, possibly, and with great reservations, but once you get to the Jehovah of Moses you have an altogether different entity, cruel, spiteful, vengeful, and utterly too 'human' to be a true 'God'.

So there you have it.

Angels, other manifestations of us, come to help out a bit, didn't always work out so well.
Gods, probably angels who got sucked into the 'illusion' so far that they couldn't resist playing ( literally ) 'God'.

So yes, in a roundabout way an 'Angel' can also be a 'God'.

Answer 3

No, angels were created by God Himself. There definitive answers about angels can only be found the the Holy Bible, which is God's word. The world has many romantic and magical stories and images about angels, but these are figments of imagination only. If you obtain a Concordance and look up the references to angels in the Bible you will get a good and exciting picture. Neither are they humans. as one has suggested to you. God does have angels appear in human form and instructs us for this reason we should be kind to strangers...for who knows, they way be his angels.

Answer 4

No a angel is a being that watches over people or goes into human form to help people out when they are in trouble. There is also angels singing praises to God. A angel isn't a God at all.

Answer 5

there are several interpretations and translations that have to be considered in order to answer this question.
Angels are called sons of God.
Men have power to "become" sons of God, yet jesus said that men will become like the angels of God.
The word eloiheim has reference to the Godhead and all that are part of God kingdoms are gods and dieties, and the promise in the book of revelation ch.3:21 and 21:7 proclaims that those who overcome all things will be invited to sit in the throne of God and become the sons of Jesus, who also overcame all things and is sat down in His Fathers throne.
an angel is a son of God and therefore might have the promise of becoming a god or that THEY are already part of the godhead.
But NO! angels are only promised that they can become Gods, Only God can ordain other gods, but being part of the godhead, gives angels access to creation and to the throne in an eternal progression-perspective.
you have to be ordained to the High priesthood of God in order to sit on a throne, and Then the angels and the sons of God are indeed Gods.
But fallen angels are not Gods, They are pretenders and deceivers and liars. The earth is full of these types of criminals, do not be deceived.

Answer 6

The angel's are spirit persons and so Is God and his son Jesus Christ. So as spirit creatures they are more like the angels.

(1 Corinthians 15:50) 50 However, this I say, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit God’s kingdom, neither does corruption inherit incorruption.

(1 Corinthians 15:40-41) . . .heavenly bodies, and earthly bodies; but the glory of the heavenly bodies is one sort, and that of the earthly bodies is a different sort. 41 . . 
Goes on to show that do not have fleshly bodys of flesh and blood. Don't get tired or sleep or do anything a fleshly body does..

Answer 7

Angels are servants of the Lord.

However, The Angel of the Lord, spoken of in the Old Testament is believed to be Jesus Christ.

Answer 8

You pose a profound question. In Judeo-Christian scriptures, I have seen that Jacob wrestled an angel of God and by prevailing unto the dawn when the one with no name would go, he won his new namesake, Israel. Of course in the actual scriptures this one, whose name was said to be secret was noted in older side text notes, to be the angel of numbers. Then in other accounts it says Jacob wrestled God, and looked upon the face of God and lived.
PS, Because yahoo moderaters wanted my little friend Killbu Shasap to take up a nickname, they named him Noname and he detested that concerning me, I told him to take to nikename the tribe of Indian I am heir of, Potowattomi which is spelled many ways but being translated means, THE PEOPLE OF THE PLACE OF THE FIRE.
Love alway, Beast
Regards also from Killbu Shasap aka Potwattomi or noname whichever I supose.
Angel in origin HeBrew meant simply, messenger. Also who caused David, the delight of God to number the people of Israel so that then God set three curses for him to choose from that one had to be on them, in one text it says God did, in another it says Satan.
I consider this, no existance or non-existance has an origin that is not from God. The glory of God is the Glory of everything, even the nothings.
I myself would fear and respect the most high unto the very least, I myself would love and hate them all with equality in time but I myself would cling to one, the one I am from I will never release, that one I will cling unto without mind or count, forever joined, locked and set.
Worry not about angels, or demons, dont worry at all, just look for your origin inside and never release it, ever.
This is Beast, for my little buddy Killbu Shasap that some of the yahoo moderaters tried to rename today, noname. I was named noname once, but men said I could not be nameless for my Lord Christ so my God renamed me, and I am a terror to many and soon enough even to become more so to a world doomed for the pit.

Answer 9

Angels are those entities that minister and serve God. They are already in human form because they were, or will be, born on this earth into mortality.

They are not gods.

Answer 10

No. Angels are messengers and fellow servants OF God.
And gods have a number of defintions, from judges to worthless idols.
