Jealous angels?

Question

I am what Xians call a "non-believer". However, I have wondered that if Angels do indeed exist and more importantly if they are jealous of us Humans. I ask this because supposedly the Xian god gave us free will and many of us "choose" not to obey "his" will.

Answer 1

Satan was a angel and he was jealous of God, turned against God and got kicked out of heaven. But Gods angels are not jealous of us, they warship God and do his will.

Answer 2

The reason they are jealous is because they were never offered salvation through Christ.They are what they are.If they use their free will incorrectly they never have forgiveness.When they look into these things called humans they are both jealous and envious that God provided us a way out.Those millions that put their faith in Lucifer(Satan) are now doomed.That's why when Jesus cast them out ,they would cry "We know who you are Jesus Son of the Most High ! Are you here to destroy us before the time!?" and why James says "Even the Demons believe and tremble at the name of Jesus".
If you do not repent,turn and go the correct way,like the fallen angels ,you to will be doomed.But unlike them,you have a choice and an option until the day you die.If you truly mean it.

Answer 3

a true Christian does not call a non-Christian anything. as for as the jealousy of angels. long ago lucifer was an angel. he was jealous and tried to take the throne away from GOD there was a fierce battle in Heaven that wound up with lucifer and his minions being thrown out of Heaven and put into hell. as for the angels that are still in Heaven there is no jealousy. they have love for all humans and enjoy taking care of humans since GOD loves us so much. we each have our own guardian angel watching over us since the day we were born and wil be with us until we close our eyes at the end of our life and will see us to heaven and will plead for us with GOD.

Answer 4

Angels do exist and are just that- angels, NOT humans. Therefore, they do not have a human mind and were not created with free will, they were created to serve and glorify God. That said, they are not "jealous" because they weren't created with the free will to sin and jealousy is a sin.

Answer 5

Angels are spiritual creatures who glorify God without ceasing and who serve his saving plans for other creatures: "The angels work together for the benefit of us all" (St. Thomas Aquinas, STh I, 114, 3, ad 3).

The existence of the spiritual, non-corporeal beings that Sacred Scripture usually calls "angels" is a truth of faith. The witness of Scripture is as clear as the unanimity of Tradition.

St. Augustine says: "'Angel' is the name of their office, not of their nature. If you seek the name of their nature, it is 'spirit'; if you seek the name of their office, it is 'angel': from what they are, 'spirit', from what they do, 'angel.' " With their whole beings the angels are servants and messengers of God. Because they "always behold the face of my Father who is in heaven" they are the "mighty ones who do his word, hearkening to the voice of his word".

As purely spiritual creatures angels have intelligence and will: they are personal and immortal creatures, surpassing in perfection all visible creatures, as the splendor of their glory bears witness.

Christ is the center of the angelic world. They are his angels: "When the Son of man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him." They belong to him because they were created through and for him: "for in him all things were created in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or authorities - all things were created through him and for him." They belong to him still more because he has made them messengers of his saving plan: "Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to serve, for the sake of those who are to obtain salvation?"

From its beginning until death, human life is surrounded by their watchful care and intercession. "Beside each believer stands an angel as protector and shepherd leading him to life." Already here on earth the Christian life shares by faith in the blessed company of angels and men united in God.

Satan or the devil and the other demons are fallen angels who have freely refused to serve God and his plan. Their choice against God is definitive. They try to associate man in their revolt against God.

Scripture speaks of a sin of these angels. This "fall" consists in the free choice of these created spirits, who radically and irrevocably rejected God and his reign. We find a reflection of that rebellion in the tempter's words to our first parents: "You will be like God." The devil "has sinned from the beginning"; he is "a liar and the father of lies"

The power of Satan is, nonetheless, not infinite. He is only a creature, powerful from the fact that he is pure spirit, but still a creature. He cannot prevent the building up of God's reign. Although Satan may act in the world out of hatred for God and his kingdom in Christ Jesus, and although his action may cause grave injuries - of a spiritual nature and, indirectly, even of a physical nature- to each man and to society, the action is permitted by divine providence which with strength and gentleness guides human and cosmic history. It is a great mystery that providence should permit diabolical activity, but "we know that in everything God works for good with those who love him."
