Nonmembers misunderstand our acknowledgement london fashion week 2012 to Bro. Felix Manalo as the "third angel" in Revelation 14:9-11 that says: "Then another angel, a third one , followed them, saying with a loud voice, london fashion week 2012 “If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand, he also will drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is mixed in full strength in the cup of His anger; and he will be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever; they have no rest day and night, those who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name.” and in Revelation 7:2-3 that says: "Then I saw another angel coming up from the east, having the seal of the living God. He called out in a loud voice to the four angels who had been given power to harm the land and the sea: "Do not harm the land or the sea or the trees until we put a seal on the foreheads of the servants of our God." Nonmembers say "If you acknowledge Felix Manalo as an angel, why do you acknowledge Christ only as MAN?" This is a funny and laughable understanding of nonmembers to the doctrines of the INC. In the first place, we do not recognize london fashion week 2012 Bro. Felix as an ANGEL WITH WINGS like this: He is not a spirit angel, but human, therefore we recognize london fashion week 2012 him not as an ANGEL WITH WINGS but as a MESSENGER of God.

Christianasnwers.net says: The word “angel” actually comes from the Greek word aggelos, which means “messenger.” The matching Hebrew word mal'ak has the same meaning. Sometimes, the Bible uses these words for human beings: ordinary people who carry messages (Job 1:14; Luke 7:24; 9:52) prophets (Isaiah 42:19; Malachi 3:1) priests (Malachi 2:7) church leaders (Rev 1:20) Sometimes, it speaks figuratively of things or events as “messengers”… the pillar of cloud (Exodus 14:19) pestilence or plagues (2 Samuel 24:16-17) But it usually describes london fashion week 2012 the whole range of spirits whom God has created, including both good and evil angels, and special london fashion week 2012 categories such as cherubim, seraphim, and the archangel. Angels are mentioned at least 108 times in the Old Testament and 165 times in the New Testament (Chafer, Systematic Theology, II, 3). Hence, there is ample information available in Scripture to allow us to build a foundation for our knowledge of angelic beings. Dictionary.reference.com says: Angel noun 3. a messenger, especially of God. 4. a person who performs a mission of God or acts as if sent by God.
Other proofs: "They are called 'angels', from a Greek which word means messenger. The word 'Angel', therefore, does not express the nature london fashion week 2012 of these spirits, but rather the offices..." (Crock, Clement H. Discourses on the Apostle's Creed. New York, USA: Joseph F. Wagner., 1938.) "Angels. Beside this, which is the highest application of the word angel, we find the phrase used of any messengers of God, such as prophets, Is. 42:19; Hag. 1:13, the priests, Mal. 2:7 and the rulers of the Christian Churches, Rev. 1:20." (Smith William, L.L.D. A Dictionary of the bible. USA: The John C. Winston Co., 1884) "ANGEL. This word, both in the Greek and Hebrew languages, signifies a messenger. It denotes office, and not the nature of the agent. ..." (Wilson, Benjamin. Emphatic Diaglott. Brooklyn, New York, USA: International Bible Students Association, 1942) "Angel, n. (L. angelus; Gr. angelos, a messenger) 1. Literally, a messenger... 5. a minister of the gospel, or pastor, as the angel of the church of Ephesus." (Webster's New International Dictionary, 1916.) "The name 'angel', wrote St. Augustine, 'belongs to his office, london fashion week 2012 not on his nature. You ask what is the name of his office. He is an angel.' This is also accepted teaching london fashion week 2012 of the Church" (The Catholic Catechism, John Hardon, p.85) "Angel (Heb. mal'ak; Gk. 'angelos, both meaning 'messenger'). In some cases the word is applied to human beings (Mal. 2:7; Rev. 1:20)" (The New Unger's Bible Dictionary, london fashion week 2012 p.61) "The Angels are thus named from a Greek Word meaning sent or messenger, a name which describes their office than their nature."
