Short Statement (from The Essential Scriptures by Kevin Zuber):
There can be little doubt that the Bible reveals the existence of angels. Angels serve God as messengers of judgment, give Him praise, and reveal significant developments in the progress of God's program.
Scripture also reveals the existence of Satan and demons. Both oppose God and deceivers.
While there is not a specific statement in Trinity Baptist Church's doctrinal statement about angelology, it is a topic in most systematic theology books and there are things that need to be clarified as it relates to what they believe and conversations they might have with others. As a community of individuals interested in religious studies, we can delve deeper into this topic together.
HERE is the link to Dan Poling's notes (student and teacher) from Sunday's notes.
Remember, Look Up and Be Humble.
From Urban Legends of Theology
Eulogies that end with "We may have lost our father and friend, but heaven got another angel" are wrong. They are vaguely comforting, but only if we do not think too hard.
Humans never become angels. We are an entirely different class of being. God aspires to conform us "to the image of his Son so that he would be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters (Romans 8:29). God saved us to be like Jesus.
