Remember the ad that asked “Is it live or is it Memorex?“
Today’s version: Is it real or is it a deep fake?
Found on Telegram channel “Tarot by Janine,” posted October 28
As a child, I was taught in the Catholic faith that everyone of us has a guardian angel who protects us, guides us, informs us. (Recall the angel in the 1946 film “It’s a Wonderful Life“)
What does the Bible tell us about guardian angels? Do they guard us? Do we each have one (or more)? Do they sometimes come to us, appearing for a time in physical form?
Read Daniel 12:1
Hebrews 1:14
Hebrews 13:2
Psalms 91:11
Watch this woman explain it. Do you agree with her?
Yes, there are angels, and if we ask God for protection, He sends his angels. Even if we do not ask, He has charged them. There is no evidence that we should communicate directly with the angels nor that one specifically has been assigned to us. They are not there to do our bidding, but to protect us. Their Commander-in-Chief is God, not us. Additionally, we do NOT become angels when we die. The Bible makes it clear that we are separate species, so to speak. (1Cor. 6:3). So while this may be a comforting sentiment to some, it is incorrect teaching and simply untrue.
Thank you for the clarification. Here’s more:
What does 1 Corinthians 6:3 mean?
In the previous verse, Paul mentioned a startling idea. Apparently, this is one he had previously taught to the Corinthians. In the end times, the saints—meaning all who are saved, those in Christ—will judge the world—meaning those who are not saved, not in Christ. Now he adds to that an even more startling fact: We Christians will also judge angels.
The Bible is not entirely clear about what form this judgment by the saints over the world and the angels will take. This does not likely mean deciding the ultimate fate of these beings (Matthew 25:41). More likely, is it about taking positions of authority over them (Revelation 2:25–26). Are the angels Paul mentions here fallen angels, demons, who will face Christ’s judgment in the end (2 Peter 2:4; Jude 1:6) or the un-fallen angels who still serve God?
Whatever the case, those who are in Christ will share His authority and participate in His judgment somehow. That is our destiny. The details of that role are beside the point Paul makes here: if this is their ultimate future, shouldn’t the Corinthians be able to settle minor disputes among themselves in the present? Why ask divisive, unfair secular courts to judge believers, when believers will one day judge the world and angels (1 Corinthians 2:14–15)?
Paul will continue to urge the Corinthians to live up to who they are in Christ instead of living down to the standards of their pagan culture.
