All your questions about angels will be answered! Here are a few of my favorites from that site.
quote:
Aren’t angels and fairies the same thing? Don’t people in different places in the world just have different folk beliefs?
No, angels and fairies are not the same. Fairies are not real.
... Why did God create everything, angels, man, etc. knowing that we would sin and also knowing the outcome? What is the point of life if the final result is already determined? God knew that Satan would be His enemy and that we would have a hard time believing. It just seems so unfair. I pray for faith and trust in God but these questions flood my mind. Can you give advice?
-Danielle Caldwell
Danielle, your question is one of the most profound in the world, and theologians and philosophers through the ages have written volumes about the problem of good and evil. This column is too brief to offer a serious answer to your great question, so let me direct you to the article I have found to be most helpful and understandable on the Problem of Evil by Peter Kreeft, who teaches at Boston College.
Here’s the good news: you don’t need to know and understand why God created everything the way he did for you to find happiness and fulfillment. Recognize that the broken record that is playing over and over in your head is like a two-year-old’s tantrum. If you try to reason with it, then you only increase the hysteria. When these negative “why?” questions come, replace them by thinking of God’s love and grace, and pray to God to show you his favor.
Right. Don't use reason--that just makes you hysterical. Stop thinking and asking questions. Just pray.
And, finally,
quote:
I’m going to be 15. Will my guardian angel celebrate that we have been together for 15 years. Do angels celebrate their birthdays? Do they have birthday parties in heaven?
-Jennifer
Happy 15th birthday! Your guardian angel will be unseen but will be rejoicing with you as you celebrate your birthday.
Good to know!
Jeff
