People's ideas about angels (who they are, where they come from, and how they function) are as varied as the people themselves. Where do all of these sometimes amusing, often dichotomous, and always polarizing opinions and views come from? Many derive their views from the Bible, and even in this context, those views are often conflicting. Others construct their theories from the annals of anecdotal history. Still others base their presumptions on subjective constructs of their own fabrication. What do you think about angels and what is the origin of those views?

God created angels, they have responsible as god's messenger. They have their own duties to God as man's duties of serving god

Hi, megaman2000ph! Thanks for responding. I understand what you are saying, but I still need to ask..."based on what?" What is the source of your beliefs about angels? How did you arrive at these conclusions?

Yes, i do believe on the angels. God has created us as well as the angels. They are the messangers of the heaven. There is no scope to deny the existance of the angels.

Hello, niv_musicman and islander7! Thank you for your responses. But this is what I was afraid might happen. People would respond answer the first question by telling what they think or believe about angels, but would not answer the second question: why? What is the basis or source for your beliefs? Maybe even who taught you what you believe about angels? O think this is where the discussion will really get interesting.
