Since I was kid I usually heard about angels and saint It was a nice lady with wings on her back. In fact the first prayer that I learned is about my guardian angel. Even now that I am old still angels and saints abound. In fact I was told that every of us has her own angel. And there are so many saints in the religion books that we have. I just also make myself believe that there's an angel watching me everyday although I havent seen one. I also pray to the different saints that I know. Do you believe on angels and saints.

kid are generally taught of these from their grandma or grandpa in their early ages. but as they grow and able to understand the nature, realises what is real as they heard of. angels are the people who are watching the humans. it is true that i studied a detailed story of their presence in a scientific manner. just know it... our living world is known as 2-dimensional world. above ours there is a 3-dimensional world. consider this dimension as like a 2-d picture and 3-d picture. as the angels are in the 3-d world, they can look to us and are able to co-operate and work with us. as we are below to them we are not able to look into their life. it is just like when a person who is is the top floor of an apartment is able to see the person on the ground. but the person on the ground may not have the ability to see the top positioned person. their world is superior to us and they have the choice to mix with us. since of the dimensional difference they will not come into contact directly with us. but we can expect them somewhere around us. all this happens for not only for angels but also for saints.
as i studied and understood from my knowledge.

See, you are more knowlegeable than us on matters of angels and saints. And that is how I understand them, they can see us but we cant see them. Thanks for more detailed information. You're an angel to us.

Look at childhood i used to believe in angels of a beautiful lady with wings on her back. Later I understod that it is our imagination. Angels are in human life. But they should not be just like taht. It can be anybidy who changes your life for good. Angel is someone who comes in your life to make it meaningful.

I believe in angels a hundred percent. Angels sometimes appear in human forms like your friend, your family, or someone else who come just when we needed them. Do you get me? For instance, I was in the computer shop one time and I had only a 50 peso bill in my wallet. I wanted to extend my time but there was not enough money. Suddenly I saw a friend who happily loaned me a few pesos. That's what I call, an angel sent from above. It could be greater than that. What I gave as an example is a minor incident only.
Meanwhile, I also believe in invisible angels. They are always with us guiding us but it's up to us if we listen to their dicatate or not.

Thats true. Remember when someone will say to another, youre an angel, the way a friend help you in need. When somebody need something and somebod helps, hes an angel. Theres angel everywhere. Not necessarily angels from heaven. Thanks for the response.

I always say who needs angels or saints when you have God watching over you? I think if God puts an angel in or path for what ever reason then that is an extra blessing. I mean I don't know if we have angels with us all the time. Does it say in the bible that we do? Other wise for me I don't like to give them that much attention because I feel confident that they wouldn't want to take the glory away from God Himself and that they would feel their purpose is to draw our attention to God and not themselves! Just what I think!

Thats our freedom, to believe or not to believe on angels. As noted by other lotters God has his angel to guide us in whatever we do. HE is not taking glory from God but helping him in his watching us, that is my opinion based on my readings also. Thanks for your comment.

At lest you believe on angels. A saint can be a martyr, a believer. Sorry if you dont believe on saints, and before a person can be declared a saint there will be a long process to be done. And yes there are saints for everyday, and for those believer, most of the name of some of our friends and those I knew have their names copied from saints name.

Yes I most certainly believe in our have guardian angles. Not like those that people collect that have wings and are beautiful ladies. I believe that there are angles all around us waring with satans angels. 1/3 of the angles were thrown out of heaven with Satan and they are battleing for our souls. I have read too many stories about people encountering angles helping and then when they turn around there was no one there. I believe that my granddaughter and my self were saved from an accident today by an angle. A car almost pulled out in front of us and it was stopped before we struck it. I believe this happens more than we know. So yes I belive in guardian angles. I don't believe in the saints as they are choisen by the Catholic Church. I believe that those that believe in Jesus and are saved are his saints. They are spoken of all through the Psalms.

Nice hearing from you. There are angels everywhere. They are helping and guiding us. As to saints, that is what you belive. Each one of us has his own beliefs about saints. I respect on what you belive in.

Yes I believe in angels many times in the bible speaks of angels Matthew 16:27 for the Son of Man shall come in the glory of his Father with his Angels and then he shall reward everyman according to his works this is just one time.
And as for the saints we are the saints Paul calls us saints as the family of God 1 Corinthians 14:33 for the God is not the author of confusion but the peace, as in all churches of the saints.
all believers are saints
