God made the angels.
Says Bossuet : “O God, who can doubt that You could create spirits without a body? Or, is there need of a body that one might understand, love, and be happy? You, who are Yourself so pure a Spirit are You not incorporeal and immaterial ?
Are not intelligence and love spiritual and immaterial operations which can be exercised without the need of a body ? Who doubts, then, that You could create intelligences of this kind ? And You Yourself have not left us in doubt, but have revealed it to us.”
- Christianity: In Christian theology, angels are believed to be created by God. The Bible, particularly in the Book of Genesis, does not provide detailed information on the creation of angels, but it is generally understood that they are heavenly beings created by God to serve various purposes, including worshiping Him and carrying out divine tasks.
- Islam: In Islamic belief, angels are created by Allah (God). The Quran, the holy book of Islam, describes angels as beings made of light who obey Allah’s commands without question. They serve as messengers, guardians, and recorders of human deeds.
- Judaism: In Jewish tradition, angels are also considered creations of God. The Hebrew Bible, or Tanakh, mentions angels in various roles, and they are often seen as messengers of God. The specific details of their creation may not be explicitly outlined in the scriptures.
