If we all have guardian angels why wouldn't they step in and stop evil people from hurting you?

becuse there is not enough of those little red berets to go around

Because that would interfere with God's plan. And sometimes you have to go through the bad, to acheive the good.

My last g'f's daughter was raped at 16 (almost 8 years ago) but has since gone on to be an Iraqi war vet that is still serving, and going to college to become a youth counselor.

Guardian angels do, in fact, step in. They can step in without permission for someone who is totally unaware of what is going on, mentally retarded, or a child that has not reached the ability to make sound decisions.

Once a child or adult is capable of making decisions, the angels help based upon condition. You have to remember that Heavenly angels are programmed to do good. They cannot do evil.

There are stories upon stories in which children had been through some really horrible things...but, they were not affected by these things due to the protection of their minds and souls by these guardian angels.

We also have to remember that Guardian angels are not alone. They are accompanied with Fallen angels, which are evil. These angels will do good, for the purposes of evil. They can confuse you. And they make war with the Guardian angels. And, like anything else, either one side or the other can be out-manned.

The human soul is the highest endeavor of both of these groups. The one group wants to save the human soul. The other wants to destroy it.

One thing that is common between both sides. The actions they take are based upon - you guessed it - human will. A guardian angel cannot help a human that has chosen to do evil. Though a guardian can do good in the midst of it, it would be on behalf of someone who has chosen to do good. An evil angel, like I said, will help a good person, but for the purposes of deception.

I have been in two death defying accidents in which I walked away from both unscathed. My passengers should also have been detrimentally injured, however, (not to be vain), I'm generally a good person who earnestly TRIES to do good. And because I was trying to help those passengers in their endeavors (one was getting eye surgery, the other needed a ride to work), I believe that Guardian angels protected both me and my passengers from certain death and injury. I know this, because I was rear-ended by a speeding pick-up at 50 miles an hour while I was completely stopped, and I was in a collision with a semi-truck. With the semi-truck, if I had been only 18 inches further into the intersection, my legs would have been crushed and my passenger would have had serious injuries. The truck ran completely over my engine compartment. That one, I'm convinced, was planned. About a minute before the accident, the same tow truck that seemed to be waiting for the accident to happen was the same tow truck that towed my car away. And I happened to know the driver. A little too coincidental for me. If evil was planned, and I'm a generally good person trying to do good, then that would be a classic example of a Guardian angel stepping in on my behalf.

We don't have guardian angels otherwise children would not be raped and murdered, and innocent god loving people would not be tortured and killed. It feels good to imagine that we do have something protecting us, and it is good to have that spirituality (remember we are humans still yet, we NEED that feeling). but honestly the closest thing to a guardian angel would be a concealed carry permit for a firearm, or a can of mace. or a well planned strategy for avoiding dangerous situations and people.

God has given each of us "free will," so that our souls will be like His, will be "images" of His. (This is one way we are created, as the Bible says, "in the image and likeness of God.") Our guardian angel, like the God he serves, absolutely respects the free will of each human, and so will not directly interfere with that free will. However, he protects us by keeping inanimate objects from hurting us. For instance, once I was accelerating up the freeway onramp, and was about to move to the center of the ramp because the two lanes were converging, but my steering wheel would not move! Suddenly, a white pickup truck flashed past me on the right. I would have been killed, if my guardian angelic spirit had not placed his invisible "hand" on my steering wheel to keep me from turning it to the center of the ramp. I praised and thanked God for that, and I still do! Remember, the Bible teaches that those who wish to be blessed by God must, first, believe that "He is," and then, believe that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. God's blessing to you always!

Good question!! Although there is a book called "Why bad things happen to good people" havent read it.

suffering leads to empathy...empathy leads to understanding...understanding leads to purpose...purpose leads to God..........

They got better things to do... like going to Wal-Mart.

I wish with all my heart that I could find the one true answer for this question. You see, my precious Husbands life was taken from him, when it was not suppose to be, by a totally evil doctor who was suppose to save my Husband's life, not take it.

I hope someday, someone, somewhere will have the true, serious and complete answer for us.

God Bless Everyone,

To all those who believe in GAs could one of you from actual experience explain to me how it was known to be a Guardian Angel?

To those who believe in a God could someone explain to me how they can be certain of its existence and where does this guy Satan come into the plot? If this God is in the personification of humans which sex is it? Dose he become bored by listening to all the bleatings of his followers; if so he must reside in purgatory!

If a 'married' virgin by the name Mary tells her husband Joe that she is pregnant and that some womaniser spirit
came to her in the night and her husband believed her (mug), does this mean that we all need to believe her cover story too? This same guy by the name of Gabriel also seduced John The Baptist's mother who was beyond having children; at least that's what she told her husband hence why he became dumb; he had a stroke!

As the carpenter's son from Nazareth never wrote about his life, how then can we be so certain of the accuracy of the bible.

As the bible has been reinterpreted numerous times to meet the needs of different religions, which copy then is the accurate one and how can this be certain?

Because they only guide.

The decisi0ns still came fr0m us.,

Coincidently i was seeing bruce allmighty today i want to refer the movie to you

i wish i knew, but i don't presume to be on God's level and understand all of His plan.

We are being tested, there are tests around us everyday....which fork in the road will each of us choose at each instance. If our angels always stepped in and chose each path for us, what would we ever learn. Our experiences here are supposed to be stepping stones that in turn make us better, stronger people. I do think that our angels are constantly with us, and can ease the pain at times that we might be experiencing and do and can guide us to make certain that we are safe. How many times in all of our pasts have we made some silly, dangerous decision and wonder how we even made it to the other side? That is when I think our angels are taking care of us, because it wasnt our time to die, however they cant keep evil away from us at all times, we have to also defend ourselves, stand up for those things that we feel are right, and make good decisions on our own too.

c'mon. this is like a cat wondering why its owner would take him to the vet.

They don't always get up so early.

Ever heard of the concept of Yin and Yang? I believe that has something to do with it.

it would violate the seperation of church and state
