The 1993 Christmas issue of Newsweek magazine carried an article on angels, a rather surprising topic to find in a secular publication. As might be expected, though, many points were in conflict with Scripture.

For instance, Professor Robert Ellswood, a specialist in unorthodox religions, made this assertion: &ld;With angels around, people feel they don&rs;t have to bother an Almighty God in order to get help.&rd;

And Andre D&rs;Angelo, a minister in Carmel, California, suggested that God is like the CEO of a large corporation, and &ld;an angel is like a good executive secretary.&rd;
