Not really a teaching, but when I was a kid, my evening prayers with my dad always included asking God to surround us with His angels to protect us from attacks from the enemy.Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong.
1 Corinthians 16:13
"...he [Doherty] is no historian and he is not even conversant with the historical discussions of the very matters he wants to pontificate on."

Mossy covers that.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

I have nothing to add on top of mossy's document!"I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion. I am angry when the same men who say, "Save OUR children" bellow "Build more and bigger bombers." That's right! Blast the children in other nations into eternity, or limbless misery as they lay crippled from "OUR" bombers! This does not jell." - Leonard Ravenhill

I don't think Satan is an angel. He appears to be a creature created when the other beasts were. It just he was more crafty that the beasts of the field ... and probably quite a bit different. The big difference is that Satan doesn't seem to be anything of a typical breathing-eating type creature. He doesn't seem to have a "lifespan" typical of biological creatures.
It does seem that he is a 'person' of a sort ... having a mind and creativity. He might be thought of as being supernatural (at least from our perspective) but he doesn't seem to have angelic qualities.
The purpose of this creature ... save this for another day.

This might be covered in Mossrose's document. Right now I don't have time to read it.
Generally when angels interact with humans, they are bringing a message from God. I think any angel encountered should end with your focus on God."For I desire mercy, not sacrifice, and acknowledgment of God rather than burnt offerings." Hosea 6:6
"Theology can be an intellectual entertainment." Metropolitan Anthony Bloom

Also, probably a good thing that today, the Holy Spirit is the main way God communicates with us. He's much gentler."For I desire mercy, not sacrifice, and acknowledgment of God rather than burnt offerings." Hosea 6:6

Off the top of my head --
-- I'm not aware of female angels anywhere in Scripture.
-- Cherubs don't look like little Cupids. (Assuming cherubs are a variety of angel.)
-- I'm not aware of any place in Scripture where angels sing. (Explicitly, at least; some sources include "singing" as a possible implication of "praising" in Luke 2:13.)
-- Scripture does not explicitly identify satan as an angel. That idea is inferred from a variety of OT and NT passages. And some of those passages are in books whose literary styles make literal interpretations problematic.
-- The Protestant Scriptures cite only one archangel by name: Michael. Gabriel is the only other angel identified by name, and he is not referred to as an "arch" angel.
-- Angels are not always scary. Sometimes they go about incognito. (Heb. 13)Geislerminian Antinomian Kenotic Charispneumaticostal Gender Mutualist-Egalitarian.
