Thought I might pose the question to see what type of responses I will get. It seems that the answer should be quite obvious by now. We have had over 2000 years to figure out the answer and plenty of scriptures. It is amazing that we don't know who we are in respect to our angelic transfiguration.

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
Where do angels come from?

Hi Stanley, welcome to the forums. Angels were created by God, created beings. Not so sure when He created them, but know from the Genesis part of the garden that they were created before we were.
What do you mean about angelic transfiguration?
Take care, Tapero

The transliterated word for angel is aggelos which means a messenger, envoy or one who is sent. We see the angels doing that in many respects in both Old and New Testament such as when Mary was told she would have a son or when Joseph was warned. Hebrews 1:14 says that they are ministering spirits sent to those who will inherit salvation. We are not told when they were created but it seems before mankind was.stanleyg said:

Acts 10:3 About the ninth hour of the day he saw clearly in a vision an angel of God coming in and saying to him, "Cornelius!"
4 And when he observed him, he was afraid, and said, "What is it, lord?" So he said to him, "Your prayers and your alms have come up for a memorial before God.

Never have been able to figure out why God who is spirit would need to create spirits. Would seem to me to make more sense that these angelic spirits are simply intended to be external manifestations of God himself. That they are spirit and He is spirit is the reason they are sons of God no? Some loved the creation more than the Creator.
