What are Angels?

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I am a fairly recent Christian and I have recently been talking to a member of your church community. We've been discussing the question of Angels and I'm curious: Does the bible state directly what angels are (ie, what they look like or what relationship they hold between man, God and Angel?)

I have not read the bible much unfortunately, but if you can point out any passages in the bible that can further my own knowledge of this it would be much appreciated.

Thank you,

Hi there~

Looks like nobody's given a shot at your question. ^^" Well, I happened to drop by a Christian bookstore in Surrey after I saw your message. There's this book called "Angels" by Billy Grahm, the reknown evangelist. Hope that helps!

And just to give you a bit of what I can tell you about angels on the top of my head, they do exist! ^^ Take a look from the stories of Abraham's encounter with God's messengers and Gabriel who visited Mother Mary and the host of angels who manifested to the shepherds. Though these stories don't have "direct definition" to who angels are and their functions, I think you can get the gist of it, especially with the help of a handy book on Angels. ^^

God bless!
