Where in the Bible does it say that angels are "created beings"?

The life before earth life. All men and women lived with God as his spirit children before coming to the earth as mortal beings. This is sometimes called the first estate (Abr. 3: 26).

When God laid the foundations of the earth, all the sons of God shouted for joy, Job 38: 4-7.

The spirit shall return unto God who gave it, Eccl. 12: 7.

Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee, Jer. 1: 4-5.

We are all his offspring, Acts 17: 28.

God chose us before the foundation of the world, Eph. 1: 3-4.

We are to be in subjection to the Father of spirits, Heb. 12: 9.

The angels which kept not their first estate, he hath reserved in everlasting chains, Jude 1: 6 (Abr. 3: 26).

The Devil and his angels were cast out, Rev. 12: 9.

They were called and prepared from the foundation of the world, Alma 13: 3.

Christ looked upon the expanse of eternity and hosts of heaven before the world was made, D&C 38: 1.

Man was also in the beginning with God, D&C 93: 29 (Hel. 14: 17; D&C 49: 17).

Noble spirits were chosen in the beginning to be rulers in the Church, D&C 138: 53-55.

Many received their first lessons in the world of spirits, D&C 138: 56.

All things were created spiritually before they were on earth, Moses 3: 5.

I made the world, and men before they were in the flesh, Moses 6: 51. Abraham saw the intelligences that were organized before the world was, Abr. 3: 21-24.

You seem to be importing Mormon doctrines into your reading of some of the Bible verses already given as proof. For example, the John 1:1-3 verses you take as not being an answer because you believe the Jesus of the New Testament is the same being as the Jehovah of the Old Testament. Mormon teaching is that Jehovah was created by Elohim, I understand.

But John is saying that Jesus is the Word of God (the Father), who was with God the Father in the beginning, and that the Word was also God (with a capital 'G', not a small 'g' thus making him a demi-god). Yet Jesus was never God the Father. He is God the Son who was never created, any more than God the Father was created. This is what John is saying. Verse 3 states that "All things were made by him and without him was not anything made that was made." This means that Jesus was never 'made' otherwise the Bible would have had to say "All other things...." but it does not. So as Jesus made all things (animate and inanimate) then angels must have been created by him for there were no angels 'in the beginning' according to the Bible.

Further confusion is caused by inability to understand the Greek word that is rendered in English as 'firstborn'. There is a Greek word that means 'first created'. That word is never used of Jesus or Jehovah. Paul used the other word that refers to pre-eminence, priority. But our English does not do justice to this nuance. People wrongly think the Bible says Jesus had a starting point in time when it's saying nobody has priority over him. That is why Christians worship Christ as God without commiting polytheism. The three Persons of the God-head comprise one Creator God. This is why Mormon teaching on the God-head cannot be reconciled with the Christian Trinity teaching.

It is a matter of common sense and simple logic in applying the information the holy Bible gives us.

Without stating the proof for this first assertion: God has no beginning nor end.

(ASV)

About Christ then:

Col 1:15, who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. . .

Rev 3:14, the Amen ( who is Christ 2 Cor 1:19, 20), the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God

(1 John 2:12,13 also)

-------

Christ is the only begotten

1 John 4:9, In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. (KJV)

-------------

All -- yes! A L L

All other things were created through and by means of the pre-human Jesus Christ.

John 1:3, All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made (KJV)

Col 1:16For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: 17And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. (KJV)

-----------------------

As you may have verified yourself from the scriptures above, Jesus is the only thing created directly by God the Father. The Father used Jesus as his workman

(Prov 8:30, ACV, then I was by him, a master workman. And I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him, )

Through this master workman, God made all other things.

The conclusion is the obvious, isn't it! If all other things came to be through Christ then the angels were made by command of God to his master worker, the pre-human Jesus.

Naturally, all other things also were created later in the same manner.

Questions? Ask!

Why are you trying to differentiate between "sons of God" and created beings. In a sense all those created are sons of God whether angels or man by virture of the fact that by creating them God gave them life.

Colossians 1:15-17 says, "He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation; 16 because by means of him all [other] things were created in the heavens and upon the earth, the things visible and the things invisible, no matter whether they are thrones or lordships or governments or authorities. All [other] things have been created through him and for him. 17 Also, he is before all [other] things and by means of him all [other] things were made to exist,"

All other things--that would include angels or other spirit creatures (thus created).

However, one can lose that claim to sonship. Note this quote from the Insight on the Scriptures book:

Loss of sonship. When Jesus was on earth the Jews still claimed God as their “Father.” But Jesus bluntly told certain opposing ones that they were ‘of their father the Devil,’ for they listened to and did the will and works of God’s Adversary; hence they showed they were “not from God.” (Joh 8:41, 44, 47) This again shows that sonship with God on the part of any of Adam’s descendants requires not simply some natural fleshly descent but primarily God’s provision of a spiritual relationship with Him, and that such relationship, in turn, requires that the “sons” keep faith with God by manifesting his qualities, being obedient to his will, and faithfully serving his purpose and interests."

In this sense, Satan and his followers are no longer sons of God, so please don't call him our brother.

, God created angels long before mankind’s appearance—even before the creation of planet Earth. .angels were individually created by Jehovah through his firstborn Son, “the beginning of the creation by God.” (Mt 22:30; Re 3:14) “By means of him [this firstborn Son, the Word] all other things were created in the heavens . . . the things invisible . . . Also, he is before all other things and by means of him all other things were made to exist"(Col.1:15-17;John 1:1-3) When God “founded the earth,” says the Bible, “the morning stars [angels] joyfully cried out together, and all the sons of God began shouting in applause.” (Job 38:4, 7)

COME NOW YOU BELIEVE JOSEPH SMITH OVER THE BIBLE, SO THERE IS NO FINDING PROOF FOR YOU ANYWAYS!

Ezeikiel 26:14 talks of a Cherub and Gen. 3:24 a cherub was placed at the entrance of the garden of eden, the angels because they were never human have a chanin of command and Cherub and seraphim and so do the demons,

principlaities, powers and dominions amd legions,

because they all ahve a chain of command, this might help you to understand that they might be a created being, besides they can go thru walls, and humans never could why would God allow something that use to be human to now go thru a wall after it sinned, adam sinned, can he now go thru a wall and float and levitate int he air and transform into things??? that makes no sense demons and angels alike can do things we cannot do and demons have sinned, but so have we and we must use the demonic power to be able to do what they can do, if you do not know that (I am ex-wiccan) then you are only fooling yourself. I use to use satans power to make a tree that had no flowers bloom with red flowers, it was pretty cool but I was using the power of satan to do it.

Satanic chain of command:

)

Colossians 1:16

For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him.

I have seen things in the demonic world...never mind you wouldn't believe me.

Job:1-6 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan came also among them. was satan another created cherub, or maybe a daughter of God? Let's just say he might have been a member of the family they did not talk about,until family reunions. Everything was created by God!

"Created beings" and "children of God" are the same thing. There are only two categories to classify everything that exists: created, and non-created.

The only being in existence Who was never created is God. He had no beginning, and has no end. He simply is. Everything else, however, is part of creation, whether it be of the spiritual realm or the physical. This includes we humans, the planets, our universe, and the creatures of the heavenly domain, the angels. Yes, even Satan was once one of God's most glorious angels until his rebellion.

Hope this helps. God bless.

Ezekiel 28:14 "You were the anointed cherub who covers; I established you; You were on the holy mountain of God; You walked back and forth in the midst of fiery stones. 15 You were perfect in your ways from the day you were created, Till iniquity was found in you.

Hebrews 1:5 For to which of the angels did He ever say: "You are My Son, today I have begotten You"? And again: "I will be a Father to Him, and He shall be a Son to Me"? 6 But when He again brings the firstborn into the world, He says: "Let all the angels of God worship Him." 7 And on the one hand he says to the angels, "He who makes His angels spirits and His ministers flames of fire."

Try Mathew 22.30, Revelation 3.14, Collosians 1: 15-17 and John 1: 1-3.
