Angel Quote by Scot McKnight
“Some think we each have a guardian angel while others think we don't have an assigned guardian angel, while yet others think God at times - but not always and not by assignment to each of us - sends an angel on a mission of guarding. The Bible's evidence that each of us has a specific, assigned guardian angel is not as solid as some think, so I'm with those who think sometimes God sends guardian angels but that we don't have a specific guardian angel.”
About This Quote
Source Book: “Guardian Angels: Myth and Reality”, 2015
The author argues that while some believe in personal guardian angels, evidence is weak; instead, God may occasionally send protective beings without assigning them permanently.
In simple terms: God sometimes sends angels, but not personal ones.
