Angels are found in many religions other than Christianity. They are regarded as spirits or non-material entities who act as intermediaries between heaven and earth. Their roles are “to protect, influence and guide human beings.” The word “angel” literally means “messenger.”
Among the many questions that people have asked about angels and spirit guides, one stands out in my mind. If there really are guardian angels to protect and guide people, why do they allow them to be crushed to death by a truck, drown in a river, get shot in the head, or burn in a fire?
