“...I will not deny that a personal guardian angel sounds good but where does it say any thing like that in the Bible?”

In 2 Kings the King of Syria sent an army to get Elisha, who had been telling the King of Israel all of the Syrian’s movements as they moved against Israel. Elisha’s servant was afraid, and what follows here is the account of that. I do not equate this to ‘personal guardian angels’, but to the fact that God does send His Angels to protect us, just as he did here for Elisha...

“Therefore the heart of the king of Syria was sore troubled for this thing; and he called his servants, and said unto them, Will ye not shew me which of us is for the king of Israel? And one of his servants said, None, my lord, O king: but Elisha, the prophet that is in Israel, telleth the king of Israel the words that thou speakest in thy bedchamber. And he said, Go and spy where he is, that I may send and fetch him. And it was told him, saying, Behold, he is in Dothan. Therefore sent he thither horses, and chariots, and a great host: and they came by night, and compassed the city about. And when the servant of the man of God was risen early, and gone forth, behold, an host compassed the city both with horses and chariots. And his servant said unto him, Alas, my master! how shall we do? And he answered, Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them. And Elisha prayed, and said, LORD, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the LORD opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha.”
(2 Kings 6:11-17)

Yes i believe in angels with out doubt, i just believe we make a lot of assumptions to go along with what we know from the scriptures.

In fact i believe many of us has even seen angels but if we start trying to convince some one else of a certain occasion then we may be subject to some ridicule which we would deserve because it may be just for you or me privately.
