Subject: Where are guardian angels mentioned? |
Bible Note: Dear friend Charis! Thank you for your response. No, I didn't lose sleep over this question (being in a different time zone :) ).. Yes, I read Acts 12:15 and came to the conclusion that this was not supportive of the theory of guardian angels either. Hebrews 1:14 comes the closest to giving evidence for guardian angels, but one cannot base a belief of guardian angels on that since it only mentions angels as 'ministering spirits'.. I agree with you that the idea of everyone having their own individual angel is hard to grasp. If something were to happen to us, like a car accident, then we ask "Where was my angel?". It is good to keep in mind that God uses adversity to help develop our 'faith muscles' (James 1:2-4). And even though God may not always remove us from the midst of adversity, He will always walk with us through the adversity (Psalm 23:4). So either way, God knows all and sees all, but these verses alone are not conclusive enough (for me) to prove that we each have a guardian angel that is stationed or commissioned to us. |
