I have recently come into contact with a religious sect that preaches that, basically, people become "guardian Angels" after their body dies. And then they have to go around and perform routine maintenance on families', and others' pathetic lives, helping them with troubles. I'm not sure that I want to hang around dead relatives and descendants all day. Since I'm not too sharp on the Bible, can anybody fill me in with verses as to why there are no "Guardian Angels"? So that I may use said verses in my argument?

I know there are some Bible geniuses here. Please help a religious illiterate.

Thank all of you for your responses.

Angle, just out of curiosity, why do you want to argue with these folks?

do you think that their belief systems define the reality of your life?

what do you hold as the theory of afterlife?

I'm still trying to figure that part out.

RickyJ: Why is it important to you? Yes, there are angels that do help people. But I know of no scripture in the bible that says they are former humans that are doing this.

See, that's more what I'm looking for.

"I was offered that job, among others, at one time. Eventually, I accepted and assignment as a forum member."

vast conspirator, humorous as ever ever, but always on the mark. Only trouble is, I can't figure out what this mark means. Thanks, though. I think you boys have told me all I need to know.

With a due respect to Fibr Dog's research, I must interject that scripture is subject to interpretation. The perspectives on angels, afterlife, this life, pastlife, now etc are many. As we see in government corruption, religious dogma is also subject to the character of those making pronouncements. As such, it is fallible.

Therefore, don't limit yourself to groups whose words don't resonate.

In each of us is the voice of truth.

With due respect Angle, I must interject that this is wrong.

In 2 Peter 1:20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.

Of course, like so many things, people don't believe that. And who am I to argue with thier beliefs? Not that they got their beliefs from Scripture, but I don't suppose that matters. But according to Scripture, it's a no-no to interpret it however you want.

It's a no-no to sodomize little boys as well. Who are these hypocrites who claim the right to interpret?

Those are NOT the interpreters, the interpretation was done long ago by scholars. Those are the evil opportunists that you can find at playgrounds, schools, boy scout troops, rec centers, and churches and synogogues everywhere.

who exactly, and why do you believe them?

The Scriptures have been checked over and over by many translators throughout the ages. Sometimes there are arguments, like when someone with a 4th grade education thinks they know what was really meant. This was true of the Russellites, who became Jehovah Witnesses. He had a 4th grade education.

At least all of our Scripture is in print for anyone to read, in any language. Nothing is hidden.

ah, so the scriptures are for the educated and the illiterates must rely on the chosen to decipher and interpret for them. I hope you'll forgive me if I note the inherent danger in this premise.

There's a greater danger in people translating Scripture from a language they have no knowledge of, to one they only have a 4th grade education in.

Again, everything is out in the open, no high priesthood here, and of course there are slight differences of opinion in some places.

Unlike the link FormerLurker gives above.
