do you believe in angels? why or why not?

Answer 1

Yes, and because I want to.

Answer 2

When I was a boy about 12, I had the chore to mow the lawn. One day I could not get the mower started. I tried and tried. My brother tried. We used all the lessons taught to us by our father to start a balky engine. In frustration I kicked the mower and the cutting blade fell to the concrete driveway with a loud clang. At that moment I was convinced beyond all doubt that my guardian angel stopped that mower from starting and doing me great harm with a loose blade. I was convinced all the more when after securely re-attaching the blade the mower started on the first pull.

Now as a somewhat world weary (perhaps jaded) 50 year old, I would give equal weight to the possibility that the mower would not start because the flywheel effect of the heavy but loose blade was not there to sustain the rotation of the engine.

Do I believe in angels? Not so much these days, at least as far as unseen winged busy-bodies keeping us safe by defying the laws of physics. But I do allow for the possibility their watchful pose from above and always ready for their cue to trumpet the return.

Answer 3

Absolutely!! For me, there is the Angel of Sunshine, the Angel of Water, the Angel of Air, the Angel of Sleep, the Angel of Nutrition, and all the other Angels of our Earthly Mother. The Angels of our Earthly Father, are Wisdom, Power, Strength, many others, but most importantly, Love.

Answer 4

No. because they are not real, that is to say, they are existentially challenged. The criterion for an angel's existence is not whether or not you want them to exist, but whether they actually do! Or, more practically, whether the evidence suggests that they do. It is here that i make a distinction between rational thinking and irrational faith. It is perfectly fine to realise that the existence of angels might be idealistic, and subsequently accept that it is not the case. But to delude yourself into the belief that they actually do, abandoning rationality in favour of ignorant bliss, is a dangerous and foolish practice. One that is, unfortunately, exhibited all too frequently.

Answer 5

Angels are those heavenly messengers of God that once lived in mortality upon this earth or will in the future. They do not sprout wings because they are glorified immortal humans, made in the distinct image of God.

They serve God as He deems necessary and visit mortals when it is important--such as what happened with the Angel Moroni visiting young Joseph Smith in 1823.

Believing in angels is in the same criteria of believing in God.

Answer 6

Yes, I believe in angels: Because angels watch over you, and is beside you everywhere you go and everything you do.

Answer 7

Yes, especially angels in human form: a happy child, a geninue teacher, a helpful stranger, and more. It brings much hope to another, and personally, I've very grateful (although probably not enough) for all them (angels) have done for me :)

Answer 8

yes! because angels are Gods servant. God sent many angels and use them to make prophesy. God uses them to sent message for his servants on earth. like the birth of Jesus. if theres no angel theres no one to tell the shepherds where the baby lies. that is one of th reason I believe in angels.

Answer 9

No. There is no proof whatsoever and the very idea flies in the face of all we know about natural law. Same with Santa. The tooth fairy. Easter Bunny.

Answer 10

i believe that there are beings around us that we cannot see, more evolved so to say... but angels?(in the common sense of the word).. absolutely not.

Answer 11

Noes,yeo
