Recently, I got into a discussion over mythical and biblical creatures and someone said 'water fairy=aqua angel=nymph=ocean angel= sea angel= water angel=ocean fairy=all of them are really the same thing!' I have to disagree from my own prior knowledge of them....

people take the words of the bible, written via guy, as actuality. To have faith what's written for the undemanding actuality that it grew to become into written is silly. mutually as i do no longer have faith interior the Bible I do have faith that if there's a God he's likewise the only and the comparable that many people label as devil. And if God and devil are possibly to be the comparable then why no longer Angels and Demons? undergo in strategies those are words people got here to outline for fairly some movements. A Saint is a saint to all people till they discover he's raped a 10-3 hundred and sixty 5 days previous. Angels have the skill to be evil as Demons have the skill to be good.

Angels come in different categories. There are so many I can not mention them all here. Different angels have different purposes. Fairies are not really angels but they are Gods creatures and they are put here for a divine purpose too. Many are in nature. Man can connect with fairies if he believes. Many a story out there.

Some cultures believe angels to be the most powerful type of fairy.
An angel is a supernatural being found in many religions. In Christianity, Islam, Judaism, and Zoroastrianism, angels, as attendants or guardians to man, typically act as messengers from God.
Fairies are supernatural spirits with the abilty to cast spells, fly and influence/forsee the future.Origin:folklore.

I believe in angels,
And I believe in fairies, too,
They're not one and the same, you know,
They are distinctly two.
Angels are within the heart,
Fairies ... in the mind,
Angels ... always there to care,
Fairies ... just sometimes.
Fairies like to tease and play,
They dance and entertain,
They tickle chins and noses,
Like bubbles in champagne.
Angels are more serious,
They do heavy-duty things,
Like easing fears and wiping tears,
And hugging with their wings.
Angels are assigned by God,
They very rarely show,
Fairies oft are seen in dreams,
And, at will, they come and go.
Fairies live in fantasies,
They are wee, tiny things,
They flit about erratically,
On dainty gossamer wings.
Angels, though, are very real,
They come in different sizes,
Large, medium, small, petite,
It's hard to recognize them.
Fairies make all people smile,
Young and old alike,
To see one in the morning dew,
Is a pure delight.
Angels, on the other hand,
May fill our eyes with tears;
We're overwhelmed with gratitude,
They've watched over us for years.
When we've been saved from trouble,
It's not coincidence,
God's placed angels in our path,
To stand up in our defense.
Fairies offer fun and frolic,
Both to small folk and full-grown,
But when people's lives are over,
It's angels that will take them home.
God's angels and earth's fairies,
I think are quite essential,
They surely are related,
For both are quintessential.

Angels are messengers of God who help good people in the eyes of to go to Heaven. Whereas faeries are creatures created by the Almighty to live in the human world and protect White Magic or commonly known as Good Magic from Black Magic commonly known as Bad Magic by their magic.

Angels are a concept that came to the Hebrew from the Zoroastrian beliefs. They are an eastern concept. Their origin is completely different than that of the Fay of Western beliefs.
