In another thread, I read that some perhaps, either, do not believe in Angels, or possibly that they just may not believe that Angels visit people and help them...

So let's toss this around a little. Do you believe in Angels? Do you believe that they visit and or help people? Have you ever seen an Angel/ spoke with one? Do you think it is few and far between, more/less than biblical days, etc.?

Let's try not to make this so much of a debate thread than just What you believe/know in general, ok? Any and all other info is welcome, expound to your hearts content.

Personally, I do believe in them and think they're active as much or more than biblical days. I have never seen or had a vision of an Angel, in Angelic form, but I do believe that I was visited by an Angel in the form of a man once. (I had just been handed my 3 day notice for being two months behind in rent, so when he left, I immediately prayed and closed up my garage sale for the day, went into the house, and got a phone call, "I seen your ad for a garage sale and work all day, can I come look at it after I get off of work?" (Of course) When he showed up, he didn't act like a garage saler. He said "How much do you need?" which tilted me so to speak, and I gave no answer. Then he says, "How much for everything on that table over there?" I immediately went into salesman mode and began telling him about the items, he barely looked at them and asked again, "How much do you need?" I didn't answer and kept talking about the items. So he said "How about 1900?" (Tilt :)) I looked at him quizzically and gave no answer. (This is not how garage salers act or talk!) so he says, "How about $2400?"
So I said yes just in case he wasn't joking. He wasn't. He whipped out a big wad of cash and counted me out 24 hundreds...I asked if he'd like help loading them into his pickup and he said yes. But then, he began pointing things out to me, "keep that, I don't need it, I have no use for that, keep it..." and so forth, and he just bought the stuff!
He was fit looking, bearded, well dressed, and didn't talk like a man with more money than brains, and drove a nice truck. Long story short, I had my 2 months back rent, my utility shut off notice payment (300, due the next day) and 100 bucks for groceries within 2 hours of praying. I believe this was a ministering Angel come to help me. Praise the Lord!)

Would that not fly in the face of Hebrews 13:2?

One of the sweetest books i ever read was Angel Unaware ... written by Dale Evens...
 
I believe in angels I believe that they are God's servants.Sent to us at God's will to help us.I do not believe that anyone should ever worship them like many do.

Clearly angels are active according to Hebrews chapter 1; at the same time, they - and we - should be concentrating on giving glory to God and seeking His purposes.

Blessings.
 
I've heard stories about people helping someone and then something happened before they left that seemed to hint at them being angels.
My dad said he picked up a hitchhiker once...which he never, never, never did normally. He said that time he felt like he should, and the hitchhiker was talking to him about God.

I guess whether it was an angel, or whether a person was being used by an angel, is ultimately a moot point. God has His ways and means to bring people's attention to the Biblical Gospel.
 
Their was a story in the news years ago.It was about a little girl who had been in an auto wreck with her mom.Her mom died.The car had gone off into a ravine.They were there all night long and the girl was really afraid.When the police finally found her she had a puppy in her arms.The police asked her if the puppy was hurt in the accident.She told the police "Oh,I did not have the puppy then.This nice man came and brought me the puppy.He told me to not be afraid".I will never forget that story.

I sorry Brother, I'm not following you there. What do you mean? Would what fly in the face of Hebrews?

Agreed.

That's cool. (not the wreck, the puppy!)

This thread took off! I remember watching a youtube video where in the service, they were doing healings. A woman approached the Pastor and said I don't want healed, I want a new heart. The Pastor said do you believe the Lord can do this? She said yes. Then something to the right caught the Pastors eye and he looked over, to see an Angel walking in with a new heart on a silver platter, and it was beating. The woman saw the Angel also, got scared but knew it was for her so she just closed her eyes and the Angel walked over and put the new heart inside of her. Later she said she could feel the Angels hand inside her as he placed the new heart. (as I watched this, the Holy Spirit bear witness to my spirit that this was true) I believe it..

(It's cool how the Holy Spirit bears witness to my spirit to confirm truth at times. I feel it, hard to explain, though I know it when I feel it. I call it Him "pinging" my spirit.)

Praise the Lord, brothers and sisters!

Yeah, I'm still not sure of your point Yosef. I'm sorry brother. I'm drawing a blank.
 
Instead of speaking in riddles, why don't you just come out and say what you're thinking? Where did he deny anything?
He didn't.

It shouldn't be that arduous to grasp, considering they are simple statements and questions. Forgive me for vagueness though.

He didn't deny anything. The "some" he alluded to however did.

do not believe in Angels

Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of thy hands: Hebrews 2:7
Reference to

What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him? For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour. Psalm 8:4-5
Though some may not subscribe to those 2 translations, we still have

O LORD of hosts, God of Israel, that dwellest between the cherubims, thou art the God, even thou alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth: thou hast made heaven and earth. Psalm 37:16


And the ass saw the angel of the LORD standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand: and the ass turned aside out of the way, and went into the field: and Balaam smote the ass, to turn her into the way. Numbers 22:23


they just may not believe that Angels visit people

Oh, ok I get it. Yes, that would fly in the face of scripture. I didn't want to be too detailed or name names because that would be pointless and not the goal of the thread. I don't want to put anyone on the spot, I just thought to open the thread to see how membership feels/thinks about Angels.
