There are hundreds of references in the Sacred Scriptures (Old and New Testaments) to these special beings, created by God as cooperators in the work of salvation.This is not true on several levels. The word "angels" is written less than 100 times in Scripture, but we're familiar with the RCC penchant for increasing the number of things between God and men so the exaggeration is no surprise.
created by God as cooperators in the work of salvation"
Where's the Scripture for that boast?
Christ on the cross is all the "cooperation" anyone needs.

The word "angels" is written less than 100 times in Scripture How many times does God have to say something before you actually believe it?
When angels came to minister to Jesus, did he send them away with a stern warning that he was the only mediator he needed with the Father?
