So then the question creates a dichotomy that really does not exist? Perhaps the concept of angels needs revision?
There are myriad concepts of angels. Which do you have in mind?

The dichotomy exists in mind and therefore affects our experience. But it is not otherwise substantive.

Okay this one has been nagging me for a while.... here is the question... If God is everywhere, and he is all powerful and all knowing, why would he need angels to record anything? In fact why would he need angels to protect us when he could do it himself... afterall he is everywhere right?

An explanation understood by some is; "God is Holy" When Adam sinned man was automatically out of God pressence because of unrighteousness.
Man needs a mediator between Himself and God or man would burn up by the brightness of God's glory.

How could Adam be out of God's presence if God is everywhere?

One point at a time..........;)
Hebrews 4:13 — And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.

By the way, I came across this quote last night and thought you'd appreciate it:

"The angels fly because they take themselves lightly." -- G. K. Chesterton
I heard it on a YouTube clip about life not being as serious as we make it.

Because trust is an onging expression built on faith. Faith and trust can be lost if not nurtured and strengthened. Misunderstanding or a lack of understanding can chip away at faith and trust.

If I trust you there is no need for you to explain your actions unless I begin to lose trust in you. How would that apply to us and God? Why would we begin to lose faith in Him?
