Do you believe in angels, or an order of angels in nine levels ranked by closeness to God in Heaven?



( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_angelic_hierarchy )

Exodus: I don't know, you tell me. (What does that have to do with anything?)

Larry: Interesting, I don't know where it was written or where it came from. I remember a teacher at my church mentioning it once...
Don't you realize "some MEN just made" the Bible too?

Answer 1

Um... I believe in Angels but I don't believe in the Angelic Order.

There isn't any data to support it... it's not from the Bible and I can't find any source of Revealed Truth that supports it.
Therefore the logical conclusion is that some MEN just made it up... this means it carries about as much weight as the United Federation of Planets and the Roswell Grey Aliens.

Would be nice if it is true, but as far as I know the only hard data we have on angles is that Lucifer was one, he rebelled and St. Michael kicked his behind, then there is Gabrel, who is assumed to be the angel of the Annunciation, and Raphiel who appeared to Tobit. That's it.

Answer 2

The mention of Angels and Angelic Hierarchy dates back to 2nd century BC and is documented in the Chronicles of Enoch. Hebrews later adopted and transformed the messengers of God from the Egyptians, Sumerians, Babylonians, and Persians. Later during the crusades angels were further secularized amongst the religions of Judaism, Zoroastrianism, Christianity, and Islam

Answer 3

What does the Bible say about this "order"?

GOD bless

Answer 4

i think you can take this as credible IF you also can fathom the levitical laws as being "divinely inspired"


of course, if you belief the levitical laws were inspired by God, then you know that he is evil.

Answer 5

Obviously there are angels in heaven. The Bible mentions them. But our focus needs to be on Jesus Christ. He is the one who died on a Cross for me and you, He died to take away our sins. We are sinners, born into it, a curse upon us passed down thru the ages, but when Jesus, a Perfect Sacrifice, gave his Life on the Cross, it atoned for our sins and now we do have access to the Father thru Jesus Christ. He is our Saviour now, God has given all things into His hands. We are to serve him, Jesus said that we must be Born AGain to see the Kingdom of God, Born Again Spiritually. We do that by accepting Jesus into our hearts, by accepting his free gift of Salvation. A gift of grace and mercy. Jesus didn't have to die on that cross, but he did it willfully, because he loves us, we are made in his image, so he came to earth and gave all he could, he gave his life, the Bible says this, that no man can give any greater gift than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. Jesus, tortured and beaten, crucified for us on that cross. Jesus is asking you to accept him today as Lord of your life. Let him come into your heart and make you a child of His. Its as simple as confessing and believing. Just pray this sinners prayer of faith, Dear Jesus, I know and confess that I am sinner in need of salvation. I believe you died on a cross at calvery and arose from the grave to wash away my sins, I ask you right now to come into my heart and save me, I pray this Prayer believing in the name of Jesus Amen. If you prayed this prayer with a sincere heart you are now a child of God, rejoice that your name is written in the Lambs book of Life. Jesus will now send his Holy Spirit to come and live in your heart and guide you into all truth. If you have any questions just send me an email, God Bless YOU!!
