I have read and listened to a few topics on angels and their origin the different types and their tasks, but I would like more input on those that worship angels, statues of angels and support from the scriptures
Are we as believers ever supposed to summon an angel?
If not why?
Thanks for your input
God Bless you

No, as believers we are not supposed to "summon" angels...nor worship them. We are supposed to worship God only. Those who worship angels are on extremely dangerous ground...IMO it's demonic. Angels origin is they are beings created by God. You can't summon or command them to do anything, as they are in obeyance only to God, not man. The only angels I've heard of that man has summoned have all been fallen angels...IE: demons. And, of course, they want you to summon them...
The way God's angels appear in our everyday lives is you pray to God the Father first when you have a need, and if He thinks the situation warrants it, then He sends His angels to help you. As I understand it, there are several different types of angels...archangels, cherabim, seraphim, etc. and perhaps as many as a half-dozen other types...all with different duties and assignments.

I believe I am still alive today because of an angel. No, I didn't see one, but here in a nutshell is what happened: in the winter of 1971, in Seward, Alaska, I was about to drive over an unseen cliff in a blinding snowstorm, on my snowmachine, when suddenly, for no apparent reason, my machine instantly spun sideways and stopped (I mean it stopped RIGHT NOW, INSTANTLY, AND SIDEWAYS like it had hit a solid brick wall)...some 10 to 12 feet short of a 300 foot vertical drop-off. I never saw it coming. When I got up off the snowmachine and stood up to see what happened, then I saw the near-vertical precipice I'd almost driven off of. It appeared to be about 100 yards to the bottem. I was speechless, and couldn't stop shaking from head to toe for hours and hours. I mean, 4 or 5 hrs later I was still shaking and trembling. I KNEW I'd been within a split-second of death, and something unusual had spared me. My cousin, and uncle, who were following right behind me also stopped...because now I was "blocking the way". For some reason, my uncle thought the whole incident was funny and he laughed and laughed...

PS: thank you for spelling angels correctly...so many times I see people posting about "angles". Yes, there are "angles" in heaven, but it involves geometry...

Bud
Are there saxons as well as angles in heaven? Do the saxons know geometry or maybe algebra or something?

Thanks Bud;
I have heard people claim to have seen angels, those are demons right?
The fallen angels that are seeking a host.
is this what the scripture references "satan goes to and fro, upon the earth seeking whom he may devour" ?(paraphrased)
a person that has basically a vacuum in their spirit is a likely candidate?

Angels guide us and keep us safe. All of the fallen angels from the Lucifer rebellion have been rehabiltated. This is from Christ Michael. No angel will hurt another of God's creatures.
Each person has a Guardian Angel. Sometimes more. When you interact with them, they guide you in everything. They warn of danger and keep you from harm if it's permissable. They still have to answer to God but they have been known to save lives if those lives are not yet to be called to Heaven, as in the above story by BudinAK.

Sorry Fundy. I missed the part where the OP asked for scripture. Disregard my answer.

You shouldn't yell at people. It causes heart attacks in your later years!! just a heads up.

When you bold, it seems like yelling.
