    Who are the guardian angels?

    Question #64472. Asked by soonappear. (Apr 10 06 5:44 AM)


    McGruff

    The Guardian Angels were founded in 1979 by Curtis Sliwa, a night manager for a McDonalds in a crime ridden area of the Bronx. Sickened by the situation around him, he formed a voluntary, weapon-free patrol to "take the subways, the streets and the neighborhood back from crime." They are identified by a bright red beret.

    What Are Guardian Angels?

    Guardian Angels are thought to be spiritual beings that are "assigned" to assist people here on Earth in various ways. Whether there is one angel per person, one angel for several person or several angels for one person is open to question. But whether you believe in them or not, or whether you want one or not, believers insist that you do have a guardian angel.

    What is their assignment? According to "Encounters of the Angelic Kind" at Future365 (now defunct), "they intercept at many junctures in our lives and help wherever they can to make our lives run smoothly. Sometimes this is by inspiring a thought to spur us into action, at others it is to lend us super-human strength, such as in the case of a woman being able to lift a car long enough to free her trapped child. Or we hear of a runaway truck, with an unconscious driver at the wheel, inexplicably swerving sharply at the last moment to avoid a bus stop queue of people. In fact, there are many instances, which are often put down to luck, coincidence or even a miracle, but which have the touch of a hand of light behind it."

    In the 80s and 90s, the Angels were called the California Angels, then it was changed to Anaheim Angels. This is understandable as that was probably the actual city the team was located, but why are they now being called the Los Angeles Angels? Did they actually move, or did they just think Los Angeles sounded more recognizable?

    There is a well known story about the Battle In Heaven: Lucifer, God's favorite angel, became prideful and decided to rebel against God.

After much fighting the loyal angels are victorious and Lucifier (Satan) and his disloyal angels (Demons) are cast into Hell. However, nowhere in the Bible is this story, or anything like it, told.
