Do things Michael, Gabrielle, Satan, and Jesus seem like gods to you? In a certain sense, could you call Christianity monotheistic?

Jesus, according to the Bible was a man who was completely humble, meaning that he did not follow a sinful nature at all, but was completely filled with God. That is why he is both God and man. The other angels aren't considered gods by the Bible. Paul says to stay away from angel worship (Colossians 2:18). Also, the angels who turned against God and followed Satan are guilty of worshiping angels, since Satan is one.

Not in Islam. Angel Gabriel was merely a Messenger between God and every Prophet to bring Messages of God and take requests of Prophets to God if they had to ask any thing. Christianity is the only religion that has made
Angel Gabrieal as a diety or associate diety of
Jesus Christ.

Angels were created by God. They are not deities.
The knowledge angels possess is limited by their being created beings. This means they do not know all things as God does (Matthew 24:36). They do seem to have greater knowledge than humans, however. This may be due to three causes. (1) Angels were created as a higher order of creatures in the universe than humans are. Therefore, innately they possess greater knowledge. (2) Angels study the Bible and the world more thoroughly than humans do and gain knowledge from it (James 2:19; Revelation 12:12). (3) Angels gain knowledge through long observation of human activities. Unlike humans, angels do not have to study the past; they have experienced it. Therefore, they know how others have acted and reacted in situations and can predict with a greater degree of accuracy how we may act in similar circumstances.

In some places and thought processes, yes they COULD be considered deities. Then you come back to REALITY where what is real still is not accepted. To me? Christianity IS a One God Deal. Now you go into the foundation of this faith and find out how God loved His creation so much that He made a way to embrace it and became man, Jesus. God has always sent a part of Himself, The Holy Spirit, also, to embrace the creation.
God in three persons is really not that hard to figure out if you do not let pride get in the way. Then you have to admit to yourself that I can not be perfect within myself but there is One that wants that perfection for me and is willing to help me out.
God Bless.

No, angels are created beings just like human beings. Their difference is that angels are pure spirits; human beings are created with body and spirit.
Jesus is not an angel; he is true God and true human being at the same time.

No, they are created beings. They are not to be worshiped.
