Scriptures say many have entertained Angels without knowing it.
KJV
Hbr 13:2
Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.
NIV
Hbr 13:2 Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing some people have entertained angels without knowing it.
Perhaps we should consider this before attacking people, or attempting to “Save” them.
What a cool thought :)

hello to all the Angels :-)

I think I've actually encountered a situation w/an angel before...
I had attempted suicide (years ago, when I was much younger and stupider), but I had taken a cocktail of pills and was just sitting in my car and completely out of it--
in and out of consciousness and then someone, an old man in a black rain coat (it wasn't raining) opened my car door (which was locked) and said to me,
"Now honey you don't want to do this. It's not your time yet. Go take a shower and sleep. You'll be fine."
He walked me to my door of my apt (well helped me walk really, my legs were like noodles) but once I got to the door I was ok enough to go in myself. I did what he said and woke up the next morning knowing I was going to be ok and realizing how truly selfish I had been to attempt to do what I had done...and then I just thought about what had happened the night before over and over in my head and it had to have been an angel--I mean how else would he have known what I was doing? And unlock my car just by pulling on the handle?
Divine intervention--I will never be that stupid again.

I can think of a few candidates! But this raises the corresponding question: can people be angels without knowing it? Some people seem just naturally good, they don't have to fight temptation, they don't make the kind of blunders we end up having to make abject apologies for. Are they really angels? And how would we know?

A cool thought indeed. But how would you be certain that it was an angel?
But this is certain. If you approach your life and the people you know and meet as if they might be angels, you will be blessed by the same God who gave you those Scriptures to guide you by.

Lol...
I too can be considered a messenger of God, but I was born here so technically not an Angel from the heavens ....
Angels don't need saving...

This brings to mind a song - called "Alone Tonight" by Above and Beyond - of which, the lyrics go...
Slipping sideways, silver stars collide
And fade away just like our love that died
And there is nowhere in this universe to hide
From you tonight
I’ve wrestled with angels all my life
Its always the halos and the wings that keep you blind
And if I’d fought with all the strength I held inside
I wouldn’t be out here
Alone tonight
I wouldn’t be standing alone tonight.
I wouldn’t be standing alone tonight.
Woaaaaaah
Alone tonight, just like the western star I’m sinking
The angels curse me blind with straight and crooked thinking
Alone tonight, just like the western star I’m sinking
The angels curse me blind with straight and crooked thinking
EDIT::
Aren't we all angels with a message? ;-)

Of course. That reminds me of the *Holy Gospel of the Sacred Mud Puddle*. Do you remember? That place where Heaven and Earth meet. What a time we had, dancing in the water, we were all angels looking out from earth covered faces. We didn't know where we were then, now we have that chance. Will we take it, take it in our hands?

Scriptures are a load of hooey.
Although I reckon it is possible Angels have posted here. Victoria's Secret Angels that is.

I wish. Now, God does work in mysterious ways, but Y!A is not the place to find angels. They have more important things to do.

We won't know how (or if) Angel survived the battle in the alleyway at the end of "Not Fade Away" until the first issue of the new comic series comes out.

Yeah, Angel was useless when it came to technology. He could've learned a few things from Spike instead of beating him up....
Anyway, angels don't have Internet access, unless you meant people who are good by your standards.
