Is this number real or figurative? Does Lucifer have an "authority" problem?

Where did you get this number...... it is not a Catholic teaching. The closest we get to a quantity, it comparing to the number of stars in the heavens.

## Someone about 400 years ago worked out that there were 400,000,000 angels - and that is about 1/3 of them

claims that there are 400,000,000 fallen angels.

All hooey, if you ask me

Pretty small number.....probably put them on the head of a pin!

400,000,000 is nothing. That number of angels could fit in a Planck length!

(Seriously, angels don't take up space, and nobody knows how many there are, except God.)

Head of a pin? I remember hearing about that growing up. (Several Angels fitting on a head of a pin). Is that true?

We really do not know how many angels there are, so everything we say here is purely a matter of speculation.

Since there are about 6 billion people and each has a guardian angel, it would appear that your number is too low.

I'd have to say that the devil certainly has an authority problem...he wants to own your butt and everyone elses too! That seems like a big problem. And he will side step the BIG BOSS at every opportunity.

And seeing as someone mentioned that there would need to be about 6 billion guardian angels, that does not take into account all Nine Choirs of Angels - Serephim, Cherubim,Thrones, Dominions, Virtues, Powers, Principalities, Archangels, and our dear Guardian Angels.

Well I guess that should have been obvious to me. The funky number came from a website. Don't remember which. Can anyone recommend a good (100-200 page) book?

Visible from Earth w/ the naked eye or all stars? Surely this number is figurative. Right?

Are guardian angels re-assigned when a person dies?
If no, add the number of people ever born and THAT will still be not enough.

go with God!
