That still doesn't answer my question. How do we know the prophets who wrote the Bible, and Mary Magdalene as well, were not speaking with the devil in angel's clothing? I'm just pointing out how absurd it is to say that Mohammed's angel was surely a devil, but the Jews' and the Christians' angels were the real thing.
“I’m just pointing out how absurd it is to say that Mohammed’s angel was surely a devil, but the Jews’ and the Christians’ angels were the real thing.”
According to St. Paul, who is a primary source of Christian doctrine, any spiritual being who brings a message of salvation different in kind from the one Paul preached is an entity intent on deception and therefore evil.
The message of salvation that the muslim “angel” brought is far different that what Paul taught.

Jesus said you will know a true by its’ fruit...Mohammad’s “holy” book teaches killing the unbelievers. Christ’s new testament teaches to love your enemy.
Mohammed said that lying to infidels is aceptable. Jesus taught that Satan is the father of all lies....
Mohammed took part in wars, killing, taking of booty. Jesus did not.
Why would a “good” angel really appear to such an evil man?
Proof's in the pudding.
Just because a person declares himself a prophet doesn't make it so. He has to prove it by his prophecies (they must ALL come true) and he has to prove it by being true to God's word and the word of the Prophets who came before him.
It’s easy, you listen to what the ‘angel’ says and put it up against the Word of God. A demonic angel is not going to say anything against the Word of God.
